Appearance before surgery
- Reasons for choosing Y Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Ever since high school, I've been teased for having a weird chin or saying it looks like a comb-patterned pottery. She had to go to the dentist, so I asked and she said that she had a class 3 malocclusion and would have to have surgery. I always cared too much about my profile whenever anyone looked at me, and I had a lot of complexes because my profile was almost flat and my long chin was clearly visible. Concerned about your profile, covering your mouth while laughing, not wearing a hat, having trouble eating with your front teeth, etc...
So, while looking for a hospital, I found out about Y-Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, which was opened by Dr. Lee Seok-jae, who had a lot of experience in orthognathic surgery. Of course, as a specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery, Lee Seok-jae seems to be more reliable than plastic surgery in terms of functionality, and Lee Seok-jae, who has been in a large plastic surgery hospital for a long time, seems not to be left behind in terms of beauty, so he can improve both functional and cosmetic aspects. I decided to get double jaw surgery from the director. Looking at the CT scan and face picture, he explained well about the asymmetry and the pros and cons of two jaw surgery, and it was the first time I realized that I only had 3 lower teeth in my middle. He said that if I had surgery, I would be much better than I am now, and after receiving counseling, I decided to have surgery.
Day 7

I woke up in the middle, but I think I slept pretty well.
I woke up at 10:00 in the morning and took New Care and medicine. I gargled hard and gave me warm compresses and cravings! But I can't brush my teeth, so my mouth feels so bad... The swelling on her face seems to subside very little. Her face is so round, I hope it falls off soon and I hope the swollen nose returns! I went for a walk with my dog at lunch and needed a small spoon, so I had no choice but to buy a Baskin Robbins ㅜㅜ Not an excuse! The left nose seems to have stopped bleeding since yesterday, but today it has moved a little, and it comes out again, and the right nose also has runny nose. I want to go to the hospital tomorrow and see if it is getting better!
Day 11

-Day 11
Maybe it's because of swelling (?) My mouth often gets dry when I sleep because my mouth doesn't close when I sleep. That's why I always prepare water next to me before I go to sleep. I hope you get rid of all the puffy cheeks and puffiness quickly. I drank sweet potato and sweet potato latte. I also ate ice cream. I take out the wafers when I eat, so I'm a little anxious that something will go wrong while I'm eating. And I often use warm compresses. I went for a light walk in front of my house, and it feels good, it's good for swelling, and it kills two birds with one stone!
Week
2 Week 2
The day I went to the hospital in the 2nd week to see the progress, remove stitches, and receive swelling care^^
I was worried that it would hurt a lot, but it was more tolerable than I thought. The director said that it can be a bit painful when removing stitches as you go to the middle... but it was more tolerable than I expected. The nurse also praised me for being more patient than others haha. I haven't gone out much yet, but it's a good day to hear that my chin has gotten shorter and prettier hahaha
I'm still wearing a wafer, so my pronunciation is inaccurate when I wear a wafer, and it's a little uncomfortable when I sleep.
After the surgery, I only lived bare-faced, but I did makeup and hair for the first time in a long time. Now that my face shape is different, I mustered up the courage to try the short hair style that reaches up to my jawline ^^!! After the surgery, I spent most of my time at home or just taking a walk, but it felt good to do my makeup and do my hair.
From the 2nd week onwards, I cut ramen into small pieces and eat only soft ones. Aside from the fact that I can't chew, I'm doing well without any discomfort.
1 month



1 month old
About a month later, I ate a hamburger the day before going to the hospital. I picked the cheeseburger with the fewest toppings!
It's still awkward to move my mouth, but the burger I ate after a month was delicious. Then, I came to the hospital and finally had braces. The upper teeth were bridged, so I decided to remove them and come back and put braces on the lower teeth.
The braces feel... ..well, I just don't think much..something. Is it just me? Anyway, when I got home, I ate pizza hoppang, milk, and hot chicken. I ate well and didn't feel sick even when I was still. But I ate a home run ball for a snack in the evening, and my lower teeth hurt so much when I tried to chew it. But when I'm alone, I'm glad I didn't get sick!
The swelling on the face seems to go down very, very little. It definitely looks a little more in the evening than in the morning!
Day 47 Review


Day 47 Review
It's been a while since I looked at the pre-surgery picture, and I think I did a really good job.
Before the surgery, I didn't think it was that severe, but lol Looking at the pictures before and after the surgery now, it seems to have gotten a lot prettier. ^^**
I started orthodontic treatment in the 4th week, and I am doing well except for some discomfort when chewing because the occlusion is not yet aligned.
I have been struggling with a long complex for 10 years, but surgery must have been the answer.
2nd month


2 months passed
Comparing the face of Love last month in the 2nd month, the swelling on the cheeks and chin has gone down slightly and it feels like my face is becoming more stable.
Braces are also uncomfortable when eating, but I got used to it. Even though I am sick after the surgery, I am satisfied with my life without any discomfort. The best thing is that the occlusion is functionally aligned and aesthetically resolved.
3rd month



3 months
It didn't take too much time after the surgery at first, but now it's already been 3 months!
After the surgery, I felt deaf in the beginning, and at night I felt like my face was about to explode, but within 2 weeks it was fine, so I thought I would live.
There was a sense of loss of sensation in the right philtrum, roof of the mouth, and front jaw, and when I touched both cheeks, there was a feeling of tingling, but this was all fine after about 2 months. Maybe you can see it~ Everything I thought was swelling haha
After 3 months, these days, it's just as comfortable as my face, and I'm very, very satisfied.
I heard that the shape of my mouth has gotten better since the sagging chin and asymmetry have been resolved, so I heard that my lips are pretty. Hehe, the eyes and nose look different too. I think it is!!
Oh, and recently, while talking to someone else, a cat came up and I heard that he has a Bengal (a cat that resembles a leopard print).
I heard that it didn't suit him so much that he was going to raise a cute Maltese hahahaha After the surgery, he lost his strong impression, and he said that his face was cute and gentle hahaha~~ And now that I think about it, I always hated my side profile before the surgery, so I paid a lot of attention, but now I'm on the side. I don't care if anyone looks at me or not!! I am so very happy!!
Recently, I was a little worried because I had to get an anesthetic injection for my gums because I had to do treatment at the dentist.
Compared to two months later, the swelling on my face has gone down quite a bit~ I'm curious how far the swelling goes~~!!
5th month




5th month review
I met my family for the first time 5 months after surgery.
My family was very worried because it was a major surgery, but they said that it seemed to go well naturally, and that the chin was not too short and was pretty ~pretty~~
I have no problem with my senses, and I can chew everything whether it's meat or gimbap, so I'm comfortable now.
Orthodontics has already entered the 4th month, and the occlusion has improved.
These days, I can confidently show my side profile, which I used to worry about before surgery, whether anyone is looking at it or not.
