The reason I decided to get double-jaw surgery was the stress I had since childhood because of my appearance with a protruding lower jaw. As time passed, my self-esteem got lower, and because malocclusion made eating uncomfortable too, I eventually decided on surgery. While comparing many reviews, I chose Yiyu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery because it is operated together with an orthodontic department and the directors’ experience also seemed trustworthy. The first week right after double-jaw surgery was so difficult that even breathing was hard, but I felt myself recovering day by day and gradually got used to daily life. I supplemented my nutrition with New Care and managed swelling through walks, and by week 2 the bruising had almost gone down, and I gradually expanded my diet while looking for soft foods. From week 3, I tried various types of porridge and could also eat soft noodles like glass noodles. I got used to wearing the wafer, and although there was still swelling, I could feel it slowly improving. My speech still isn’t perfect, but it’s becoming clearer little by little. At 1 month, most of the bruising on my face and neck had disappeared, and I had recovered enough to try jogging lightly during walks. I still got short of breath, but I definitely felt that I was better than before. The hardest thing was not being able to eat what I wanted, but I could endure it! And now that I’m at 2 months, I’m eating diligently to regain the weight I lost. As long as food isn’t too hard, I can eat most things without difficulty, and I’m also consistently practicing opening my mouth while eating. My speech has become much clearer, and I’ve recovered a lot, to the point that doing cardio exercise isn’t a big strain! Through the changes and recovery over the past two months, I think I made a very good decision to have the surgery. I want to keep managing it steadily and move forward looking healthier and more confident!
