Hehehe<After surgery>Before before before<Before surgery>Hello! It has been “1 year” since I had double-jaw surgery and 2 types of facial contouring surgery. First, I had a retruded chin since I was young, and it was a case that could not be solved with orthodontic treatment alone! So I felt the limitations of orthodontic treatment, and after becoming an adult I decided to have surgery. It was my mother, not me, who personally searched for a place good at improving a retruded chin, and I ended up receiving double-jaw surgery and 2 types of facial contouring surgery including square jaw and anterior chin at Y Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery.
Now, 1 year later, in terms of eating, I can comfortably eat foods that are harder and tougher than before without difficulty. However, hard foods can strain the jaw, so I avoid them as much as possible, and with tough foods too, it’s more comfortable to cut them with scissors and eat them carefully. Maybe it has become a habit. Now I go out to have fun and confidently take as many photos as I want with my friends, making memories. After surgery, people I know often tell me from the side that I look pretty, and my mother also says the surgery went so well that she feels proud. That makes me feel good too, and I think I did well to have it done. My self-esteem has shot up so much that my old self is unimaginable
It has now been 1 year since I started post-surgical orthodontic treatment. I’m used to orthodontic visits now, so that’s okay, but during the treatment process, my gums get pulled, so the toothache lasts about a week. Aside from that, I think it’s fine. Using screws in the upper jaw gums, elastic bands are connected so the front teeth don’t protrude, and I’m also trying to develop the habit of chewing on both sides to align the midline of the upper and lower teeth. There are still a few difficult months left, but I’m going to endure while thinking of the teeth that will become prettier.
For those who had double-jaw surgery like me and are struggling, time is medicine, so let’s think only good thoughts and wait to become even prettier ~
