As of the beginning of July, I am now three months out from double-jaw surgery and two facial contouring procedures (square jaw and chin). Since childhood, I avoided taking photos and could not go out with my face fully exposed because of my appearance complex caused by my protruding jaw. After much deliberation and persuasion from my parents, I decided to have surgery at [Clinic A]. From one month onward, the major swelling steadily went down. At two months, some round swelling remained, but by three months, much of the puffiness that made me look swollen had also subsided. Now, apart from slight swelling in the front cheeks, it is hardly noticeable. From one month onward, I focused on opening my mouth and orthodontic care, and mainly practiced chewing on both sides. As my jaw muscles gradually returned and I regained the sensation of chewing food well, I worked at it even harder, haha. It is still a little difficult to bite food off, but now that I can eat almost everything I want, I have regained the weight I lost after surgery, haha. At three months, I truly feel that I am much closer to the appearance I wanted. Since two months, friends I met for the first time in a while have often asked why I had become so pretty, and hearing the same from acquaintances has greatly raised my self-esteem. Now I take lots of photos and even try styles I had wanted to try. I feel happy spending my days with my changed appearance. Watching the swelling continue to go down also makes me look forward to reaching one year. I wonder how I will look once more swelling subsides; I wish time would pass quickly, haha.
