Time really feels like it goes by quickly. I can’t believe it has already been over 6 months since surgery.. Humans really must be creatures of forgetfulness. Until 2 weeks after surgery, I couldn’t breathe properly, couldn’t sleep properly, and couldn’t eat, so I had a hard and uncomfortable time being forced to diet, but even if I turned back time, I think I would 100% have the surgery again.. When I was in middle school and secondary sex characteristics started, facial asymmetry gradually began to develop. As in the photo, my jaw became crooked to the left, and because of that the lengths of the left and right jaw differed, so I also developed a slight underbite. At first I didn’t notice, but as people around me increasingly told me my jaw was crooked, I became conscious of my jaw with every person I met and started thinking, “This person probably also knows my jaw is asymmetrical but isn’t saying anything because they’re afraid I’ll be hurt, right?” It became a severe complex, so I decided on surgery and had it done at Y Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery! Now that it has been 6 months since I had two-jaw surgery and 2 types of facial contouring surgery (square jaw + chin), I currently have almost no discomfort. If I had to say something, very occasionally the centerlines of my upper and lower teeth do not match because of a relapse function? but when I do temporomandibular joint exercises, they go back into alignment...? When I went for a regular checkup a few days ago and told the director, they said that since my teeth all bite together and there is no problem chewing and swallowing food, orthodontic treatment is not essential, and that I would only do it if it looks uncomfortable to me. It is not uncomfortable enough to get orthodontic treatment, so I decided to just live with it For post-surgery swelling and elasticity care, I separately bought a compression band online and use it regularly, and using a lifting device for home care definitely made it better. So personally, that part is not a major problem! Now I am at the point where I’m debating whether or not to have the pins removed within 1 year, and since the cost is also an issue, I think this is my biggest concern these days When I have an MRI later, these pins may be a problem, so I think removing them is the right thing to do, but having my gums cut and sutured again.. They said if pin removal is not done within 1 year, the muscles and flesh can fuse with the pins, making later removal more difficult, and removal may even become impossible, which is why they recommend doing it within 1 year. I will think about it until my next regular checkup and bring another review next time!
