I only had one type of square jaw surgery, performed through an incision in the intraoral mucous membrane.
To reduce swelling, I walked about 1 hour every day. The distance was almost a little under 10 km. One of the sutured areas inside my mouth, on the left cheek side, opened up, but they said it was double-sutured so there was no problem and no need to re-suture it. I started eating regular food from day 10. Right now, the swelling is worse on just one side ㅠㅠ
2020/1/23 Day 4 Went to the hospital and got Healite treatment Tried porridge, couldn’t taste anything There are teeth marks on the mucous membrane inside my mouth I want it to heal quickly so I can chew food and eat it.. Since I was at the hospital, I bought a 3-item swelling-reduction medication set at the pharmacy One week’s worth was over 40,000 won ㅠㅠ Expensive, but I took it for faster swelling relief I felt well, so I walked for about an hour After coming home, I cleaned the bathroom intensely to increase my activity level
2020/1/24 Day 5 First day of the Lunar New Year holiday For the first time, I slept deeply until noon. I hadn’t been sleeping well because I kept worrying my face would sag downward, but I slept very well After waking up, I washed up and took face photos, and the swelling on the right side was bigger. It was uneven I really wanted to eat holiday food, so I walked hard for about 1 hour
2020/1/25 Day 6 Lunar New Year’s Day. My family was eating holiday food, but I ate Ottogi instant porridge.. I had really wanted jajangmyeon for a few days, so I worked up the courage and slowly, gently chewed and ate Chapagetti In the evening, I also ate instant rice noodles
2020/1/26 Day 7 Starting today, the compression band and cold compresses are over, and it’s a day for warm compresses only I planned to meet people for the first time in a while after surgery Met for about 5 hours in the evening and played board games I was told I looked like an aggrieved Dooly Speaking quickly was difficult, but I conversed well I ate one piece each of chicken and jokbal over 5 minutes After talking a lot and being somewhat active, the swelling went down a lot
2020/1/28 After the holiday ended, I came to the hospital and got Healite infrared treatment There was no prescription, so I bought the 3-item swelling-reduction medication set again at the pharmacy
2020/1/29 Walked 10 km In the evening, after eating ramen, while brushing my teeth, the sutured area on my left cheek opened up, so I contacted the hospital
2020/1/30 Had a hospital appointment. They said it was double-stitched, so it didn’t need to be sutured again The surgeon who performed my operation checked everything carefully one by one I think we talked more than during the preoperative consultation Received Healite, infrared, and a recovery injection (dextrose 5%)
2020/2/7 Ate sundae gukbap. It was very delicious. The swelling had reached a point where I didn’t care about other people’s eyes even if I took off my mask at the restaurant I went around to cafes, department stores, and restaurants without issue
2020/2/8 For my 2-week appointment, I looked at CT and X-ray images with the doctor and compared before and after It was cut very cleanly and well. They said I no longer need to do warm compresses from now on And since they said exercise is possible too, I plan to go back to the gym and hockey, which I couldn’t do for a little over 2 weeks
