No Pain All Gain

Saw my Orthodontist Dr. Rodney for the first time post surgery on Saturday. He said everything was looking fine and was amazed how much my profile changed! I told him everything was going great, but my nose became little bigger and the flesh around my nose turned up like sinus which only happens at old age and that bother me every now and then but he doesn't felt any kinda problem there. He just removed the digging wire from my mouth and granted one and half month rest before moving on to the braces world, i pleaded for a six month gap. And he complained Dr. Jeomy for my request then he just laughed that off..... 

Back to Real World!!!

7th July(73rd Day)

Saw my surgeon (Dr. Jeomy) today and he removed the wiring which has been put inside my mouth and it hurt very badly…. But not that much pain I happy to say apart from a nasty sharp wire that seems to be digging into the bottom of my left cheek. He wishes me to consult Dr. Rodney to continue with my ortho treatment… He hopes that wire can be removed according to Dr. Rodney’s consent…. 

I went to my friend’s wedding reception on Thursday and was really nervous about seeing people again, and what they would think! Will they give the same response of my aunts and cousins? They've already told me that they failed to trace out changes on my face.... And the response was hugely varied, some people said they couldn’t really tell and others thought i looked hugely different. The whole subject certainly gave me something to talk about.  In terms of how I think I look – yes i think i look better on photos (when i compare the before and after shots) - but in real life I’m not completely decided.  I am guessing that most of the swelling has gone by now – so what i can see is just me….but I’m definitely not used to it yet. I don’t think I’ll really know for sure until the braces come off, which might only be a couple of months now. No pain with the braces now, but i seem to have a new contact point with one of my teeth at the front, which is a bit tender. And gaps appeared in between…..

I’m seeing my Orthodontist on Wednesday - so I wonder what he will think! Will he give the same opinion of Dr. Murukan or what?

Fourth Appointment post surgery (51th Day after)

Had another appointment with my surgeon today and he was very much happy to see my new face…. He said swelling almost over now and we can continue ortho treatment and for that he’ll contact Dr. Rodney today…… Moreover now we could remove the wiring inside and he’ll contact Dr. Jeomy for that. Then my nose who's size increased a bit as a side effect of this surgery can be reduced through a minor nose surgery (I’ve been informed this before) if I’m that much bothered about this and now we can move on to that segment too… and for that he asked me to contact Dr. Jimmy Thomas and review after 1 month…

In return I’ve received one call from Dr. Murukan to collect my treatment chart from him…. So I redirected my journey to his clinic… He appeared very pleasantly and showed a big applause to see my new look…. He said my face has changed a lot!!! And advised me to do that nose surgery as fast as possible….. 

Third Appointment Post Surgery (29th day)

The swelling has come down loads and almost full of my nerve sensation of upper lip, cheeks and nose retained but I had to fight with pimples, which has been spread all over my face and neck. Actually it is like prickly heat not pimples….. Itching and spreading from one part to another…… My surgeon advised me to visit one Dermatologist….


He checked my new X-ray and OPG, and explained the way did surgery…there was two wiring and two steel plates in the top set of teeth and two wiring in the bottom set of teeth.  He added that Dr. Jeomy will remove all wiring's and the steel plate doesn't need to kick out…. Once again he tightened those bolts and asked me to review after one month.

I’ve taken an appointment with Dr. Rajesh nair, Dermatologist on Tuesday (29th may) … He told me this is not actual pimples but it’s  a side effect of steroids which have been applied on my body after surgery…. He prescribed one gel (DERIVA BPO) and one face wash(ACNE GEL)…… My face scares me when I have a look on mirror… God let this pimples go down sooo fast!!!!!

My pimply face when that turn up first time

3 weeks post operation.

I am getting more and more nerve sensation every day though. My cheeks are now definitely a lot less swollen, but it’s hard to see the improvement yourself, day to day. The pictures I’ve taken give some signs of it and i think the stitches are starting to dissolve in my mouth; I’ve got some parts out of my mouth after brushing and in between tongue and teeth. My bottom lip just won’t do what i want it to. I can’t stretch it out and make it go tight at all… Aside from that I’ve generally got more movement in my mouth and lips. Although from some of the pictures, my mouth looks a bit weird! I’m a bit worried about all the numbness in my chin….I think its gradually getting less, but its still a million miles away from normal. I wonder how long it will take?

Second Appointment Post Surgery (15th day after)

Saw my surgeon today; He repeated the same words of the other surgeon…. Swellings will be there for some weeks and I only having swelling more or less which a 15th day post patient suppose to have… he asked me to take two x-rays (x-ray and OPG) when I visit him next time and tightened the screws in side my mouth.

Post 10th day after operation....

I wish the swelling would go down now! I’m on day what now, 10 and i still don’t really know how things have turned out which is frustrating. When I saw myself on mirror I felt very much sad my lips is having a close resemblance with krimi tomy’s(Rimi Tomy) and my nose exactly like chenni’s(Ramesh chennithala)….

I had a bad night last night. Woke up at 3am. The joints on both jaws felt frozen stiff and I had a huge headache… Not only last night had I started having disturbed sleep with full of short dreams…  Dreams like the stories of short story book… participants which I’ve not met or knew and story which I never ever imagined or heard... i wakeup after the end or middle of each story panting and panicked….. Feeling bored of these stuffs I stopped sleeping so fast, watched a lot of horror and action movies which my cousin and friend Sonu had given me….. Saw twilight saga again and again…. Wish to be one of them….. A vampire, without aging, without sleeping... how sweet hehe…. :):)

I tried to get out of one nasty pimple which turned up just below my nose and which caused the swelling boost up to my nose which was free from swelling before…..  This frightened me a little…. Ringed Dr. Jeomy, he said swellings will be there more or less, up to one month nothing to worry about that….:) I relieved a bit…. But really tired of this pumpkin face…. God!!!! Please help .... Please help me to finish one month sooo fast!!!!!
