A Malaysian lady who had underbite, mandibular prognathism (long and protruding chin), and facial asymmetry underwent orthognathic surgery at ID Hospital.
Here is her self reviews of jaw surgery :D
Hello~ I am a
mixed Malaysian.
When I was 15
years old, I realized that my chin was protruding out. I’ve had orthodontic
treatment for a long time and finally underwent double jaw surgery on June
30th.
July 30th was the
day when it became a month and when I was supposed to post reviews, but it’s
late :(

The day of surgery
(June 30th, 2014):
Owing to
analgesics, I didn’t feel pain that much, but it was a very hard time because I
was very sleepy and felt like urinating all the time and suffocating. However,
nurses took care of me very well, so I was able to endure the time comfortably.
Can you see the
peace sign that I made with my fingers?
Facilities were
good~ Nurses provided everything that I needed~
Nurses suctioned
sputum and nasal discharge every two hours and changed the cold facial pack.
The 2nd day after
orthognathic surgery (July 1st, 2014):
I took off the
facial compression garment and got rid of urine catheter and Hemovac drain.
Wafers made from
plastic were located between upper and lower teeth, and I was taught how to
wear wafers in the right way. It was difficult a little!
For the first time
in my life, my lower teeth palate was behind my upper one! It was unusual to
me, and it was very awkward.
A nurse wiped out
my face and put a mask sheet on the face.
On the day, I was taught
how to do by myself:
Putting on and
taking off facial compression garment, changing the cold (ice) pack to apply on
the face, drinking water, gargling, going to the restroom, taking meals with a
spoon, taking out of the wafers before eating, putting on the wafers in the
right position after gargling, exercising in the hospital!
My sister drew
this for me to cheer me up :D
“Don’t judge me. I
was born to be awesome not perfect.”
My cheeks are
flushed due to prolonged application of the ice pack.
The 3rd day after
two-jaw surgery (2nd of July, 2014):
A nurse wiped out
my face and applied a mask sheet on the jaw line.
I’ve never seen
this kind of mask sheet before, so it was very interesting!
I have no idea
what to eat when I go back home, so I bought a box of Medicare.
ID Hospital
provided me with a ride and took me in front of my home. I did appreciate the
car limousine service.
Furthermore, I got
a box of pumpkin juice for free~ Thanks a lot!
I wanted to stay
in the hospital one more day because it was very comfortable without any
discomforts, but my condition wasn’t bad, so I had to go to home :(
The 4th – 7th day
after orthognathic surgery (the 1st week):
The 8th – 14th day
after underbite correction surgery (the 2nd week):
I went ID
Dermatology and got facial swelling care. At ID Hospital, I was taught how to
take off and brush the wafers. I bought a cute, small tooth brush.
The 15th – 21st
day after double jaw surgery (the 3rd week):
I got facial
swelling care. The stitches were removed and the eight screws were removed from
the gum T.T
I tried my best to
smile as natural as possible.
Now, I can open my
mouth by only one finger. I need to open my mouth by two fingers by July 29th
for bracing, so I’m doing jaw exercise for 20 minutes, 3 times a day.
The 22nd – 30th
day after corrective jaw surgery (the 4th week):
I ate raw beef and
steamed pig feet. Of course, I can’t chew or bite, though.
I can brush my
teeth well, even the molars, and open my mouth by two fingers :)
I got the fourth
facial swelling care.
It was the last
service, so I was sad a little... T.T
The 29th day (July
28th, 2014):
I went to ID
Dentist. I could open my mouth a lot.
I don’t need to
wear the wafers anymore, but rubber bands were applied, instead of the wafers.
When a nurse was
about to threw away the wafers, I asked the nurse, “Can I have them?” because I
grew attached to the wafers after spending a long time with them.
Finally, I saw the
before and after X-rays. I could tell the difference on the X-ray! So happy!
I love the
brand-new braces~!
The treatment
doctor said that I can use in frontal teeth little by little, but I’m still
scared to use them, so I cut food in very small pieces and swallow them.
