What To Eat After Two Jaw Surgery?

-


The most asked question after the two jaw surgery, 
"What do I need to eat after two jaw surgery?" 
"What not to eat after the surgery?"

Patients who underwent two jaw surgery have elastic bands fixed to their teeth, just like when we get a cast after breaking legs or arms.
Fixed teeth have limitations when it comes to food, and patients have to be really careful of what they eat.

After the surgery ~ 2 weeks
This period is critical as the chin bones are healed. Therefore, taking only liquid food is recommended such as milk, soybean milk, soup, and yogurt. 
Using a straw to drink is also prohibited, so use a spoon to drink.




2 weeks ~ 1 month
After 2 weeks, compression garment will be removed. And, drinking porridge is also allowed from this period. 




After 1 month 
Patients are allowed to drink soup with ingredients in it. But taking hard and spicy food is still not allowed to take. 




After 2 month
Many patients are able to have a normal meal usually after 2 months.
And most importantly, don't forget to rinse your mouth after eating. Firstly rinse with sterile water that was given from the clinic and later with normal saline solution. (Don't use Listerine!) 
 Washing your teeth will be available after taking the stitches out.

The laser procedure that you're worried about before the holidays, "If you want it to work, you have to choose according to your symptoms." The fine weather these days is good for a picnic, but the fatigue of the skin increases. This is because the atmosphere is dry and the oil and moisture of the skin is escaping, making it rough and prone to wrinkles, and strong UV rays can irritate the skin, causing freckles and blemishes. This is why laser treatments are popular these days, which can solve skin problems relatively quickly and easily. In fact, more and more inquiries are being made to improve skin and aging problems with laser procedures ahead of the holiday season in early October, which is followed by a series of Chuseok and alternative holidays. The most representative procedure is lifting laser. Lifting laser is a direct examination of high-intensity focused ultrasonography (HIFU) to the peritoneal layer in line with current skin condition, soft tissue and degree o...

 Jaw protrusion refers to a protruding lower jaw that makes the profile resemble a shovel. Typically, when the lower jaw develops, the chin at the end of the lower jaw also develops, resulting in a protruding chin typical of a shovel jaw. The extent of chin protrusion is determined by comparing how much the chin protrudes compared to the lower lip when viewed from the side. Interestingly, when analyzing shovel jaws, you can discover a surprising fact. As mentioned earlier, while there are cases where the chin protrudes significantly, there are also many cases where it does not. It's not always the case that the chin protrudes just because the lower jaw is already developed. Sometimes, it might appear that the chin protrudes due to its position relative to the already protruding lower jaw, but in reality, the chin itself may not protrude more than average. So, how can we determine whether it's a shovel jaw or not, if not solely based on chin development? The answer lies in the a...
