BEFORE & AFTER
I am a 30 years old housewife with a 4 years old
daughter. I also have malocclusion and uneven facial structure which makes me
look like I am an angry person, as I have heard from some people. And when I
eat, I use the inner part of my jaw to chew, so I have never tried chewing with
the frontal side of my mouth. To be honest, it wasn’t this severe when I was
younger, but when I hit puberty, my chin elongated and while everyone was being
pretty and using make-up when they go out, I used to go out in secret avoid
showing my face as it was my biggest complex.
I’ve heard from many people who
judged me that by just looking at my face, they assumed that because I am ugly,
my attitude also would be bad. In my life, I have received so much hurt. Even
my husband whom I trusted the most left me and left the house. I feel like this
is just not right so I decided that I want to start a new life, which made me
decide that I want to do plastic surgery.
POST SURGERY - DAY 1
As you could see, the surgery was a
success! When I went into the operation theatre, I was really nervous. After
waking up from my general anesthesia, I was already in the recovery room. I was
so absent-minded after surgery and it didn’t hurt but I was cold I felt a
little stuffy. I had to sleep with sedation on this day.
POST SURGERY - 2 WEEKS
Before my surgery, I
looked up pictures of after surgery and everyone seemed to sleep while lying
down, so I decided to try as well but it was really, really uncomfortable.
After moving around to find the right position to sleep, I was in discomfort
for a few hours and ended up putting my pillows up high and slept off. The
surgeon also told me that I had to start practicing opening my mouth and jaw,
so every morning, noon and evening I practice for 10 minutes.
POST SURGERY - 4 MONTHS
When I think of my
face before surgery, the bottom part of my mouth is protruded that makes me
look angry all the time as I have heard from people. But when I look at my
mouth and jawline now, I can see that it changed so much. Because I am
constantly eating porridge, I end up going to the washroom often and I get
hungry fast too. Slowly, my breathing is getting better and I am starting to
sleep well now. I am very happy nowadays.
POST SURGERY - 6 MONTHS
Nowadays, I am living
without much worry. Previously, I could only eat porridge so I think this is
why now I can only eat about half a bowl of rice, which has caused me to lose a
lot of weight as well. But, now I can eat whatever I want! From the beginning
to now, I can see all the differences and good progress on my face, so I have
been living a very fun life. For those who are thinking of orthognathic
surgery! Please stay strong! Your struggle will only be temporary…you should
get your surgery done!
