<Before surgery>
It was the chin that had been a complex since puberty started and I opened my eyes to make up my appearance. A long face that stands out even when viewed from the front, a long chin and a chin that stand out from the side, and malocclusion teeth that are visible. So I always wore blue hair and covered my face as much as possible. It makes people conscious too much. When talking about my appearance, I would naturally shy away and avoid the conversation even though it wasn't about my face. 

After living with such a complex for 3n years, I happened to see a shorts video related to two jaw surgery. I received counseling around early spring of this year, and on October 4, I underwent surgery at the Y-October and Maxillofacial Surgery.


<Surgery Day_1004>
I was told to come by 10:00 am, so I arrived at the hospital a little early with my parents. After being guided to the single recovery room, I was relieved, unpacked, and saw the director, listened to the explanation about the surgery once again, went into the operating room, lay down on the operating table, and finally blacked out with a soft voice saying 'take a deep breath'.
When I woke up, I was taken to the recovery room and the nurses were waking me up (I guess I didn't wake up well haha;)
When I was told to take a deep breath, I held my parents' hands and focused only on breathing. It was pretty good than I thought. It wasn't that there was no pain, but it wasn't so painful, and the nurses praised me for breathing well and relaxing my body. Yes, just up until this point. There was something I overlooked. That my throat isn't swollen yet. At 7:00 PM, my parents went back to the lodging, and by the dawn of the first day and the second day, my throat was swollen and it was so hard to breathe. I was a little bit scared. From that point on, I called the nurse and harassed her a lot. (Even now, I am very sorry and grateful to the nurses on duty at that time.) I waited for morning to come so quickly.


<Day 2_1005>
As soon as morning came, I thought I would remove the urine tube, the hose in my nose, and the blood tube, but I was frustrated (...) when the representative director said that I had to wear it a little more to remove the blood tube. I really wanted to get rid of the pain because it was so frustrating. He allowed me to receive boogie care until I woke up, but I think I really slept well during that time. And as soon as the director comes, he removes the pain and pulls his lower teeth all the way to fit the wafer to make him feel refreshed for a while.
From this point on, they gave me New Care and gargles and gave me a mission to drink and gargle, and I took a walk while walking in the hallway little by little.

<The third day_1006>
However, I felt pretty good because I slept a little more than before. As soon as I woke up, I succeeded in drinking New Care and gargling. Has 30 minutes passed instead? After a while, I coughed up a little bit of vomiting and coughed up phlegm (..) I was so surprised that I called a nurse, and she comforted me by saying that the cough that came out naturally was okay, but instead told me to drink a lot of lukewarm water. After drinking a glass of water and calming down to some extent, I prepared for discharge. After seeing the director again and getting the medicine prescribed at the pharmacy, I went to the Airbnb accommodation. As soon as I arrived, after drinking lukewarm water and drinking New Care for lunch, it was finally time to take medicine. I swallow the medicine with the feeling that please don't cough even if it gets stuck in my throat, huh? It went so smoothly that I was relieved, but I was a little embarrassed. Ohhh (I was very scared.) And after taking a break, I drank New Care for dinner and then started taking medicine again. The day ended like this.

<Day 4_1007>
I don't know about the face, but I felt that my mouth was constantly swelling, so it was hard to even bite the wafer. In addition, it was painful because the boiling cough that continued to phlegm came out.
I went for a walk in the morning, but it seems that it took me 20 minutes to travel a distance of 6 minutes.
I was dizzy after going there, so I ate a New Care and went to sleep again.. 
I couldn't stand the thick mucus + blood on the outside of my nostrils, so I gently peeled off the outside, and I felt like I was going to live with my nose pierced for a while. Later, I left it alone, but the gurgling sound was a little less. After drinking New Care + Orange Juice for lunch and taking medicine, I went for a second walk to the beauty salon to wash my hair. It felt like living a little. 
Instead, it feels like the lower lip, lower teeth and chin are heavier and more painful than in the morning? I slept again with a cold compress, woke up, took my medicine in the evening, and the day ended again.

<The fifth day_1008>
In the morning, I was in good shape, so I took a longer walk, but after that, my condition went down _ down _ down... On this day, I couldn't do anything and just rested at the dorm..

<The 6th Day_1009>
Much better condition than yesterday. I still have a bit of toothache every time I bite a wafer, but it's much better than before, and my nose is completely open, so it's easy to breathe, so it was a comfortable day. 
And I decided to increase the meal = 1 New Care + 1 juice to 2 New Care + 1 juice + Soongnyung so that I could gain more strength.

<The 7th Day_1010>
One meal of New Care = You have to eat two to live. I increased the amount I ate a little more and slept soundly all day, so I'm in the best condition in recent times!! There was a rain sign, but it hardly rained, so I took a walk that I couldn't take yesterday. On the way back to the lodging, I was so hungry for the soup because it was cold, so I packed a bowl of kalguksu with only the soup. It was clam soup, but wow... My eyes and ears opened. As expected (but even this is salty and not good, so he told me to be patient, so I couldn't drink it anymore.. ㅠㅠ)
The cough is still there, but it feels a little less than before. It was the most memorable day in many ways.

<The 8th day_1011-1st visit>
at las. at las! The day I go to the hospital!! Oh my God, I can't wait for the day I go to the hospital... After visiting the hospital, I had to go back to my hometown, so I packed up all my belongings and headed to the hospital. 
Before that, I was constantly coughing up phlegm, so I was worried about what to do if something else happened, but as soon as I saw the director's face, I was immediately relieved. Fortunately, I was relieved twice to hear that there was no inflammation, and I was embarrassed twice as what I ate remained on the wafer even though I was told to gargle hard instead. haha
I was excited for nothing when I heard that I could now brush my teeth without a wafer.
As soon as I return to my parents' house in my hometown, I drink New Care and protein drinks and take out wafers for brushing my teeth. It's okay ㅠㅠ How happy I was to be able to get rid of you for a moment ㅠㅠ And how long ago did I feel the toothpaste ㅠㅠ Everything just made me feel happy and thankful ㅠㅠ It was such a day ㅠㅠ


<1017_Second Visit>
Finally, the day to pull out the stitches has come!! (Impressed_tears)
My parents say that I have lost a lot of swelling every time I see it, and since I was able to talk to some extent, I went to a cafe before the hospital, bought a juice, drank it, and headed to the hospital. (Before that, I was worried about swelling and couldn't talk much, so I never went to a cafe. ;) Before removing the stitches, I received the swelling care first, and then I met the director to get the stitches out. Contrary to the director's words that it would be painful, the more I went to the middle, the more it hurt. Also, the inside of my lower lip was torn, but it hurt twice as much because it was pressed.

<Recent post-surgery>

When I saw my face in the recovery room for the first time, looking at my shortened chin, I liked it for a while, and I thought for a moment that I did it for nothing, with emotions that go up and down like a roller coaster. one week. If I really endure for a week, I will spend my life caring for myself as much as I wonder when I would have thought of that. If you are thinking about having surgery, or if you are planning to have surgery, if you really hold on mentally for a week, you will be fine after that. I hope you overcome well and become healthy and beautiful! Thanks for reading :-)
