Hello everyone?? I have currently had square jaw surgery, and as of today I’m entering day 54. Before surgery, I really searched reviews even by name and read them so diligently, but now that I’ve gotten what I wanted, I hardly come in anymore.. Before surgery, I got a lot of information, so I thought that if I had surgery too, I should consistently post information.. ^^ hehe.. Anyway, after having surgery, it really is nice.. I think my recovery is faster than other people’s. Less than 2 weeks after surgery I was going to the gym.. hehe.. As for food, right now I eat almost everything.. Today I even ate a hard persimmon, cut kkakdugi with scissors and ate it.. I also cut samgyeopsal into small pieces and ate it.. I eat so well. The most uncomfortable thing after surgery was the intraoral incision. Whenever I ate something, it felt like foreign material was getting stuck in the incision area, so having to brush my teeth right away was the most inconvenient.. Other than that, I really didn’t have anything uncomfortable.. Maybe things will appear gradually, but right now there really aren’t any. The good thing after surgery is, above all, confidence.. People close to me kept saying before surgery that nothing looked strange at all and that I shouldn’t get surgery, but whenever I saw people, I had developed a habit of lowering my head because of this damn square jaw. Somehow my impression seemed to look worse, my posture seemed to get hunched.. I disliked it in many ways. Even now, people who know me say, “It doesn’t look like you changed much,” but unlike before, I now lift my face confidently and talk, and I feel that my own mindset itself has changed a lot. The angles of my face have softened a lot.. (Before surgery, I always wore curtain hair, so people might not have noticed well^^) I don’t know how everyone would feel if you saw my photos, but I’m truly very grateful to the doctor who operated on me. (I saved the photos on my phone, but I lost the jack, so I can’t upload them.) --> Also, because I put safety as the top priority even into older age, it is not the kind of over-resected jaw people call “dog jaw.” ^^ Before surgery, I really worried about all sorts of things. Will eating be uncomfortable for my whole life? What if there’s no effect at all? And because I thought there might be brokers on this community site too, I considered it very carefully!!! And I had the surgery while telling myself that since this was a decision I made after thinking this much, even if it went wrong, I should not blame myself anymore. And the recovery period after surgery seems to differ very much from person to person. Compared with the reviews I read before surgery, I think my recovery is very fast. Week 1~2 (porridge, thin rice gruel, liquid diet, rice soaked in soup) Week 3~5 (mainly ate rice and soft side dishes) After week 5 (ate almost everything except very hard foods) However, after surgery, the mouth also doesn’t open well, there is swelling, and the speed of eating is much slower than usual. In other words, there is some difficulty with social life^^ (But now there is no problem.^^) If you send me a private message, I’ll answer. But because the choice is something you make yourself, please choose carefully.
