After/after/after/after/before/before/before Seeing acquaintances who had double-jaw surgery with Director Kim Jong-yoon made me think that I also wanted to have double-jaw surgery with Director Kim Jong-yoon without any other worries haha. Since I was young, a protruding mouth had been my complex I had orthodontic treatment, but there were limits. After consulting at so many places, they said the only remaining option was double-jaw surgery, so I chose double-jaw surgery~! My own useful tips for double-jaw surgery!! After arriving at the hospital, changing into inpatient clothes, and entering the hospital room, I unpacked my things in advance. It was easier because I had a guardian with me, but for those visiting alone, it’s very hard to move after double-jaw surgery, so I think it would be good to set up various things within reach! For example, things like a mirror, humidifier, and tissues haha!!
To list the hospital-stay items I packed,,, 2 cushions, 2 humidifiers, several Kleenex nose-comfort tissues, several Kleenex runny-nose wet wipes, blanket, long jacket, button-up clothes, underwear, iPad, iPad stand, various chargers, AirPods, hat, artificial tears, wallet (ID), shower towel, mirror, lip balm, moisturizer, hand cream, kitchen towels, handkerchief, neck pillow, toner pads, paper cups, tumbler, Daiso sauce bottle + I came super thoroughly prepared with extra things too! But there were more things I probably didn’t need to bring haha First, I’d heard that once anesthesia wears off on surgery day, you get really cold, so I brought a thin long outer layer, blanket, hot packs, and socks, but I actually felt stuffy and hot, so I kept the air conditioner on. And what I was most worried about was not being able to breathe because of nasal congestion and my lips getting extremely dry, but I was relieved because I could breathe much better than expected.
A week after double-jaw surgery, I came up to Seoul for a hospital visit haha. The swelling was still firm and tight (but even covering only below the nose with a mask made it completely unnoticeable, so it wasn’t uncomfortable walking around) Disinfection finished safely, and I also got a swelling laser treatment. Director Kim Jong-yoon said I only needed to wear the wafer at night while sleeping now, so I liked that. But I had to put the elastics on and take them off, and I felt like I needed to practice biting down a lot!! I also remember being so happy that I no longer had to wear the facial compression band ^^..
At 1 month after double-jaw surgery, all the screws were removed, and I could start practicing chewing little by little from soft foods. I was happy because the foods I could eat gradually increased! After more than a month since double-jaw and facial contouring surgery, many things got better! The clogged feeling in my ears gradually disappeared, and a lot of sensation in my jaw area came back lol After restarting Pilates and light gym workouts, it feels like the double-jaw swelling is going down faster and faster
Now!! 2 months after double-jaw surgery haha. My occlusion is gradually becoming more stable, and I think there are many more things I can eat! Chewing thoroughly is still hard, but if I cut food into small pieces, I can eat most foods now Compared with old photos, I think the double-jaw swelling has gone down a lot too. Of course, there is still minor residual swelling around the philtrum and chin(?) These days I’m working hard to manage things so I don’t swell more or gain weight from here~~~
