<After surgery>


[Surgical instruments]
hello! On December 14, 2022, I received two jaw surgery and three types of contouring (cheekbone, square jaw, and front chin).
From elementary school to middle school, I underwent correction due to malocclusion, but as an adult, the occlusion was misaligned again, so I underwent surgery.

[Reasons for choosing a hospital]
I chose it with faith in the surgeon's surgical skills!
Since I was a college student, I have always been interested in western jaws, so I went to hospital consultations here and there. For some reason, I had the feeling that the surgery would go well if I did it here. And after watching the surgical results of those who underwent Ygugang surgery on YouTube, I decided that it matched the direction I wanted.

[On the day of surgery (Day 1)]
Before the actual surgery, with a brave heart, 'Yes, I have to be brave and come out!' i did it. She even told her friends about it.

But really, as soon as I came out of the surgery, come… Orthognathic surgery is no joke... I felt that. Looking at other people's reviews, it seems that the discomfort in breathing was more than the pain, but I had trouble breathing, and at dawn, I was in pain, so I kept calling the nurse to give me more painkillers. I'm sorry I called the nurses often on the first day! ㅜㅜ

I still don't know how I got through that first day. Everyone told me in advance that the day of surgery would be difficult, but it was more than I expected. I'm really excited even now. How did I hold on?

[Day 2~3] : I was more alive than on the day of surgery!
It will definitely get better on the second day. Everyone said that they got better from the second day onwards and went to the hospital, so I was dubious. However, it was still very difficult to breathe, and I am very sensitive, so I couldn't say anything for 2 nights and 3 days in the hospital after the surgery. Even now, I don’t know how I endured that time or how I was amazed at myself and how the time passed.

[Day 4~5] : It was a bit difficult while recovering.
I got better after being discharged home. I feel so much better than when I was in the hospital. However, it was still difficult to breathe, and I felt pain intermittently, so I really couldn't sleep properly until the 5th day, and I don't know how the day went, thinking about what kind of hardship this is. Moreover, I think it was a little more difficult because I went through the entire process alone without a guardian.

[Day 6~7] : It was a stage of recovery.
By the 6th day, I felt like 'I'm definitely recovering!' My nose started to clear, I could breathe through my nose, and my face felt more and more stable. Still, I'm recovering. As time goes on, I feel like I'm getting better and better since the 6th day. And the swelling started to go away from this time! So I deliberately went for a walk and went to the pharmacy to buy purified water, and I was craving for bands from time to time. Now that I live, I want to eat porridge. I endured it with the thought that I wanted to quickly loosen my mouth and eat delicious porridge.

[Days 8-10] : My condition went back and forth.
But strangely, my nose is blocked again? So on the 6th day, they said it was worth living, but on the 8th, 9th, and 10th days, it was difficult to breathe through the nose, especially at night and early in the morning, so I couldn't sleep and spent most of the night. However, when the condition improves during the day, breathing becomes a little easier and they keep going back and forth.

[Days 11-14] : I felt the swelling go down little by little.
My condition continued to fluctuate, and I could clearly see that the swelling was gradually decreasing. I was definitely getting better as time went on, and there were so many foods I wanted to eat because I lived well, but it was difficult because I had to eat mainly drinks and rice!

[2nd week progress] : The quality of life has risen dramatically as I can change rubber bands and brush my teeth!
Actually, I've been waiting so long for the 2nd week, but that's because I had intermaxillary fixation. Starting from the 2nd week, I changed the rubber band loosely and said that it could be loosened for a while while eating, so I waited so long. And since I know that stitches will be undone, I was actually worried a lot. Everyone said that it really hurts to get stitches untied, so I made up my mind in advance and went fully prepared (?) in my own way.

Most of all, I changed it to a loose rubber band and now I can brush my teeth, so that was great! My quality of life has really risen. The intermaxillary fixation was so hard for 2 weeks, but I can live with it now! After 2 weeks, I have recovered a lot and feel a little more comfortable.

When the swelling goes down, I'll write the next review!!
Hope this detailed review helps!!
