My Orthognathic Surgery.
peep..peep..peep.. hey, it's me.
By the way I'm still in a dilemma, should I continue my blog heh. This blog is so outdated (hoho I saw flies buzzing around here LOL).
Okay today I just want to continue with my diary of
orthognathic surgery (aka underbite surgery/double jaw surgery) , since I'd published a post about this surgery 2 years ago,
click to read. I know this sounds a bit crazy (maybe A LOT crazy lol) , but I did it and yes I did it..(if you want to know what is this surgery about, google it!) The main reason of this surgery is to correct my bite since I have underbite before this and secondly, honestly, is for my appearance?(although I'm not sure whether the final result can satisfy me or not? but I just dont want an underbite.) Actually this surgery should be done in June of 2013, since I got offered for matriculation programme, so...everything postponed to this year because I have 4 months of holiday after the pre-U programme.
Then everything start all over again this year. After graduating from matriculation, I visited my surgeon for 2 times, first time was to plan the date of my operation and second time was to take measurement. I'd gone through the operation on 17th July 2014. I was admitted into hospital one day before the operation, took tranquilizer at night for well sleep and in the morning before operation to reduce tension. And no doubt, I did this surgery in government hospital, operation performed by all the experienced doctors and surgeons. So it did not cost so much like those private hospitals do.
This operation took about 6 hours, so yeah I was unconscious for about 6 hours omg. From 8am-1++pm. The whole operation is carried out inside my mouth, so there's no scar on my face nor my chin. That is why my lips were so swollen after that because my mouth had been opened big for bout 6 hours!(you must think that is very painful! ) but seriously, the pain is still bearable..for me? haha..I can walk around after op, I still can talk although it's not clear. I only took pain killer (that one which is inserted into the drip) once after op, because it made me feel nausea and want to vomit. The pain level only starts to raise on the second day post op and peak on the 2nd and 3rd day post op because of the swelling, but it's still bearable, it's not like painful until you want to die LOL!! Discomfort was the main thing that annoyed me because my face were so swollen after op. And also I was told not to drink water after operation -_-.. My throat was very very dry, maybe because of the anesthesia, and also soreness on my throat might because of the tube they placed along the oesophogus. I only start drinking water in the evening about 5 or 6 pm.. I couldn't sleep for the first night post op, I remember I keep on drinking water by using a syringe during that whole night haha. Then I started my first meal, choc milk on the second day post op and discharged in the evening! :) and in 2 days I lost 3kg woooo....
I was on liquid diet for the first week post op! Totally LIQUID. Everything I eat(should be drink?) was blended, and eat/drink by using a straw. On the 6th day post op, I started using a spoon, it was a mess, because I cannot control my lips properly, I cannot feel my lips, my chin, my cheeks, they were numb. I remember I had maggie mee on 6th day because I was craving for maggie on that day hahaha! Slowly I started my very very soft food diet on 2nd week post op, and on 4th week I can eat soft rice as well. I can eat( i mean swallow) anything that is soft now!
Today I'm 37th day post op, everything goes quite well, no more infection on wounds I guess. I am really grateful for having a great mom and dad, thanks for taking good care of me, preparing all the nutritious and delicious food, sending me to hospital for check ups! And also loving sisters who always concern about my situation :)
♥♥Okay FUN TIME now! Because here are some photos, showing y'all my recovery progress :) but don't shocked okay. Be calm..

So this is me before operation. Obviously you can see that my upper jaw is so inward and lower jaw is longer and outward. (slim face huh -_- kinda miss it haha! no liquify filter ok!)

and OMG, took this when I just came out from operation.Yes I still have the strength and mood to take picture haha. Terrible!

First pic is taken on the day of operation(17/7). Very terrible I know hahaha, hey but give me some time to recover la right?! Same as plastic surgery ma, how come a person looks so nice right after the surgery! Start from second - last pic are day 1 - day 11 post op (18/7-28/7). Peak swelling on the 1st day and 2nd day post op, and also the most painful on these 2 days.

Day 12 - Day 20 post op (29/7 - 6/8). Nah..believe me.. you see, it's getting better day by day right! and I can finally smile properly.. lol

Day 21-24 (7/8 - 10/8). Finally my chin is "visible"! -_-

Day 25 , day 27, day 29, day 31 (11/8 - 17/8). Swelling reduce very slow started from week 3.. :(

Day 34 - 36 ( 20/8 - 22/8). I'm still adapting to my new smile..

Taken on 5th day post op, first post op check up :)

6 day post op. Peace. Sometimes have to do something funny to cheer myself up.

12 day post op. reduce a lot from 1st week to 2nd week!

15 day post op.

My first time walk in the public without a mask after op. 17 day post op.

long lost chubby face... hahah


Third post op check up. Rubber band on my braces is to hold my mouth closed because there's a slight openbite on the right side.


23 and 24 day post op. with my babe sugar :3

27 and 31 day post op.

35 day post op :)
For the first week after surgery, I felt helpless, sad and worried, yes of course I will, sometimes because of the pain, swelling, unable to laugh and more. So I cheer myself up by doing some funny stuffs, even a simple thing, like when I realize I can eat by using a spoon, I can have soft food, I can eat the thing I want to, these things made me happy all day long.. :)
One more thing, doc didn't give me any pills to consume after surgery except painkiller pills, and I only eat it when necessary. No antibiotics, no pills that reduce swelling, etc~~ I dont know why too?
And now everything is okay. I can talk (sometimes might not clear), laugh, shout, eat (soft food diet), can do what normal people can do. But still a bit numbness on my left lower lip, and sometimes needle pain on the "metal plate" area. 10-20% of swelling might remains up to 6 months..braces will be removed after 6-9 months.. so, be patient for my final result! :D seeya!

Operation:: extraction of 4 teeth ONCE.
Hello people :) I am backed. Finally I can manage to sit in front of the lappie to blog! and today I feel much better than last 2 days. I was admitted into hospital and stay inside the ladies' ward [ward 8, bed 16] on Friday. I have nothing to do inside, is totally BORING!! I brought along my "undang" book and done 400 questions the whole day. what a wasted friday! A nurse came to help me to inject a small tube into my hand for "intravenous drip" of sodium chloride solution, the nurse failed to get the tube into the right position -_- then she pulled it out again and my hand keep bleeding, it was very omfg painful!! Then she called a doctor to do it for me. I cant even sleep well for the whole night, because I have to stop eating and drinking water from 12am, my throat was so dry and also the nurse keep on testing my blood pressure and temperature the whole night. The next morning, I feel nothing at all when they are sending me to the operation room since I have taken the tranquilizer. The operation took 2 hours to finish. Once I enter the operation room, I feel very cold and the only thing I can see is just the lights. I can't remember the situation clearly now, I feel that I have a temporary amnesia after the operation -_-.. What I can remember is when anesthetist asked me to breathe harder, next , I was already in the ward and started feeling painful. I felt that I was awake, I can move but I can't open my eyes. I slept for the whole afternoon and I thought I can back home in the evening but so unluckily my temperature raised, I had fever! and I have to stay for one more night!! It's kinda hard for me to pass the night. I don't know how to explain the situation clearly here and I think that's all I can share. :$
I am feeling much better now, the only thing is just the swelling of my face, and I cant even open my mouth to eat and talk properly. I can only eat oats and porridge now. or maybe bread. I am going to post the photo of me here, please don't get scared of it. Just imagine when my face swollen. -_-...
bengkak face. -_-
the drip.

orthognathic surgery part 1.
Today, I am here to share with you all about the process of my
Orthognathic Surgery. This will be a long process. You can click
here to check what's all about the surgery.
I started visiting dentist since I was 13, due to my uneven arrangement of teeth and the lower jaw is much more longer than the upper jaw. I am very dissatisfy of my teeth arrangement. I am so envy of those people who has nice smile v nice teeth. As you know, anyone who does not have nice teeth will lost their confident to smile every time, and this problems happen on me too. I was facing lots of dental problem last time. When I first visited dentist, she told me that my situation at that moment cannot do orthodontic braces to my teeth, as my gum had some infection. I was very disappointed and start to take good care of the gum, and I strongly recommend the tooth paste Oral-B which was very effective for gum care. And slowly, the infection of my gum cured. Then I visited dentist again. She made appointment for me to have a X-ray at Hospital Tunku Jaafar at Seremban. Then she started to discuss my problems with other doctor. She said that my lower jaw is longer , and my upper jaw is small. In this situation, the only way to cure is orthognathic surgery. She asked me to think properly about this surgery because this is not a minor operation. and also, after this operation, my appearance would change. I can do the surgery if I am really dissatisfy of my look of the currently. I used a long time, about 1 year, to think about it and do a lot of researches from the internet. Lastly, yes, I decided to do. I want to try. I want a better look. Firstly my parent and relatives were very disagree, since it was my decision, and it gives benefits after the operation, lastly they approve. This surgery have to take a long time to finish since it contain a lot of procedures. Somehow, this year I have to sit for SPM. My surgeon said that this surgery has to take 3 years time, and after the surgical operation, I need about 5-6 months or a year to have my normal eating habits back and to become fully recover. Firstly, I have to remove 4 teeth in a small operation, second, putting orthodontic braces for about 1 year, then remove braces and lastly orthognathic surgery:)
I am so nervous now, as tomorrow I will absent to school and go to hospital to stay for a night for observation and the second day for my first operation. This is a small operation to remove my 2 wisdom teeth which have not grow out yet, and 2 more upper jaw teeth. Thought it was a small operation, I am still worry and feeling so nervous. Because this will be the first time for me, go to the hospital for operation, some more removing 4 teeth once. This operation will be done when I am asleep, means I will be numb. I know every operation has its risks even though it is only a small operation. This is why I start worry since doctor told me that I have to do this operation, haha! So, I will be sharing the procedure of this surgery again here. Follow my blog to know more =) wish me luck tomorrow & Saturday ;)
