My facial asymmetry got worse when I was in middle school. In fact, I don't think my chin is overly distorted, and I'm not dissatisfied with my appearance. However, I was under a lot of stress because I took a lot of pictures in the army. About 2 out of 10 came out too abnormal. So I told my parents. oh, i can't want to operate I could do it after earning money later, but at that time I didn't have time to rest properly, and I thought doing it when I was young was beneficial because doing it when I was younger would help me recover faster. I think it was very helpful to join a cafe and find out how people live after undergoing surgery.
While on vacation, I looked for a hospital and decided to undergo surgery at Y Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. As a result of consulting at various hospitals, all hospitals diagnosed that my chin is protruding, but the tip of my chin is asymmetrical. It's a complete welcome party. The decisive reason why I decided to undergo surgery with Dr. Lee Seok-jae was whether or not there was an advance surgery. It doesn't matter if you do missionary work once, but it's a personality that gets rid of annoying things quickly. First of all, if you do the correction, it looks like 6 months of correction + surgery + 1 year of correction. During the correction before the surgery, the asymmetry got worse and I had to study hard after 6 months, so I preferred the preoperative surgery. However, the information about the orthodontic treatment on YouTube says that the orthodontic treatment is the principle, and it is difficult to align the center if the orthodontic treatment is not well occluded. So, when I told the director that I was worried about this part, he said that it didn't matter because he tried to match the gap with the model before the surgery and the jaw wouldn't shake if the 3 dots touched. Thanks to that model, I think I received the surgery without worrying more. What is the director's skill? That's how Y decides to have surgery.



<If you are in a hurry, you can read it from here!>

Before surgery: The items to prepare before surgery are liquid food at home, an environment where you can sit down and sleep, a humidifier, a bottle of Daiso sauce, a mirror, and ice packs (lots). And the things you need to bring to the hospital are a shirt, a tablet or laptop (required), a power strip, and a charger.

Day 1: After surgery, my chin surprised me. It was so awkward on my sunken chin. In fact, rather than feeling good, I thought the surgery was wrong for my face, which was so unfamiliar to me. But now it's so pretty. Speaking of pain, the first day is the hardest. After the operation, when you enter the hospital room, you are really out of your mind. First of all, you should never sleep, and you have to take a deep breath to get rid of the unpleasant anesthetic gas. I had a bad burp about 3 times. After the surgery, it hurts a bit. The recovery from general anesthesia was more difficult than the pain at the surgical site. Airway swelling and difficulty breathing. As most would say, I start to regret it from this point on. So, it is essential to be prepared before surgery. Not in the right mindset.
But the fortunate part was that I didn't tie my mouth, so I was able to breathe. It would have been really, really hard to tie her mouth. There are hospitals that say that the mouth is tied unconditionally, but fortunately, the mouth is not tied here. At this time, I was not in a state where I could do anything because I had no sight or mind. After banging for about 2 hours, I listened to the radio because time was running out. Still, I was able to watch the drama after 8 o’clock and after getting some sleep because I came back to my senses. I slept and woke up while watching Wooyoungwoo.


Day 2: Now start removing the urine catheters and blood barrels and other cumbersome gadgets. I'm not sure how comfortable it will be. The annoying feeling of the urine line is gone, but I have to go to the bathroom as often as I get intravenous. And it was really hard to match the wafers;; Originally, I wondered if it didn't fit. But after practicing, he entered? If you do it a few times and a few days, you'll fit right in.
I started walking around the hospital, but there were more people coming to see me than I expected. It's not embarrassing, but it was hard, so I couldn't go for a walk. Still, it's much less painful than the first day.


Day 3: We are finally discharged. When I get home and take a shower, it's so cool. Washing your face is a bit difficult. When I touch my face, I feel like it will burst, so I am careful. I have a lot of sebum on my face. It's comfortable to come home, but it's hard to take pills. Now I have to take medicine with every meal, but that's a problem. The throat is narrow because of the surgery, the medicine is thick, and I tried to pass the medicine, but when it didn't pass, I don't want to feel that feeling again. As a tip, it is more comfortable to take the thick medicine first. It is not unconditionally long, but thick medicine comes first. As you take the medicine, your throat gets narrower and it becomes difficult to eat. Still, people who shut their mouths say they take powdered medicine, but it seems to be better than that. You really use powdered medicine. For rice, I ate New Care, soy milk, and pumpkin juice. I poured it into my mouth little by little with a sauce bottle sold at Daiso and drank it slowly. And it is known that pumpkin juice is good for reducing swelling, but it is said that it is not that effective. However, there was nothing wrong with eating pumpkin juice, so I ate it steadily.


Day 4: Bruising around the mouth and swelling of the lips. Bruises are said to go away with time. As your lips swell, the skin on your lips comes out. It doesn't hurt to apply Vaseline and wait for it to come off on its own.
I need to use cold packs for up to 5 days, but I'm running out of ice packs... You really need to buy a lot of ice packs. About five?


Day 5: Swelling is at its maximum. When I looked at other people's reviews, they swollen more than I did, but I don't know if this is my constitution or the doctor is good at it. I'm trying to exercise at home, but it hurts so I can't do it. I have no energy in my body and feel dizzy when I stand up. I think that's why I tried to eat more rice.


Day 6: This is when the swelling begins to subside. From now on, I started applying warm compresses. It feels good to have a warm face. But be careful because the problem came up when you applied the warm compress severely.
It was hot, so I went to a large mart, but I couldn't go around for an hour. It's too hard. When I walk, I get so dizzy and saliva profuse, so I carry a toilet paper. When I got home, I was really exhausted. When you wake up, the symptoms of dizziness are worse and you have less energy. It is recommended to start walking slowly. And I feel really bad for not being able to brush my teeth. No matter how much I gargle after eating New Care, something thick remains in my mouth, but later it comes out in lumps. In the end, I couldn't stand it. I took out the wafers, gargled, and brushed my tongue with a tongue cleaner. It's really dirty.

Day 7: I really want to break my teeth when I'm getting ready for bed. I can sleep, but I can't sleep because my teeth are tingling. This tingling sensation is a characteristic that appears when nerves return, but it is very annoying. I only slept 4 hours in 2 days. Feelings come back quickly. Sensation returns from the cheek to the chin.

Day 9: The pain is starting to go away now, though. The swelling seems to have gone down by about 50%. It is still very swollen. Today is the day to go to the hospital. I went to my parents' car just in case. I can't walk much yet, so I decided that standing on the subway would be difficult. I checked for inflammation in my mouth and returned after receiving laser swelling treatment. Fortunately, there was no sores in the mouth. The doctor says you can now eat watery food like porridge and brush your teeth. Now you have to eat a lot. I think the reason why I was able to recover quickly was because I tried to eat a lot of nutritious food from that time on. I ate pasta, ramen, steamed egg, curry, soft tofu, porridge, bread, grated fruit, and dumpling soup, but I tried to eat protein at every meal. Egg custard is the best. And I ate fruit once a day unconditionally. It's been a while since I ate sweet fruit, so I'm really happy.

Day 14: I played with my friend for the first time after double jaw surgery. I went to a vintage clothing store and looked around for 3 hours, but it's not too hard. Now, it seems to have returned a lot of energy. The orthostatic dizziness has been greatly relieved and the swelling has gone down a lot. The frequent nosebleeds also stopped around the 10th day.

Day 15: I went to the hospital for the 2nd time. On this day, I went to the subway by myself. The stitches were removed and laser treatment was performed. These are the reviews about pulling out the stitches. The doctor says the swelling goes down faster now. I made up my mind to work out harder. Now, it seems that the hard part of the double jaw surgery has passed.


Day 17: The swelling has gone down a lot. I'm working hard on warm compresses, and I take a walk once a day unconditionally. However, there is still a lot of swelling here and there. Still, it feels good to see my sharp jawline after a long time. My body is getting better, so I'm going to start studying soon.
Overall review on day 18: Looking at the pre-surgery picture while writing this review, the asymmetry was more serious than I thought. When I said I was going to have double jaw surgery, half of the people around me asked why it was not worth living, so I actually thought a lot about the surgery. But now that I think about it, I think it was a surgery that I had to do at least once in my life. I would like to say a word to those who are thinking about surgery. Under the assumption that you are looking for a good hospital, I don't think double jaw surgery is a surgery that has so many side effects. Roughly, the side effects that are likely to occur frequently are paresthesia, temporomandibular joint disorder, and narrowing of the airway, but I thought that all problems could be solved if I met a good doctor. I felt that two jaw surgery had very few side effects compared to other plastic surgeries.
And let's talk about the cost issue. My parents watched the cctv and waited while I was undergoing surgery. Later, my father told me that the doctor was really good at surgery, and that the nurses and breathing were in perfect harmony. It's not that expensive considering the cost of a day in the hospital where skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses operate without lunch. You said it wasn't worth the money. The operating room and ward are really clean, and even at dawn in a single room, a nurse comes to change ice packs. It's not really worth the money.
