I had a convex face profile with open bite for 24 Years .The solution to the problem was handled well by GVG Aesthetic Clinic Bangalore.
The doctors here are certainly the best .
The open bite treatment was successfully done by orthodontist Dr Chandrasekar . I had braces for almost 2 years.
For Convex face solution osseous genioplasty surgery was done by Dr Gunashekar.
Initially the first thought that came into the doctor is of using chin implant but later a thorough analysis showed that my
chin vertical length is more and cannot be reduced by implants.Hence they went to the osseous genioplasty which was a very good decision.
It is also very natural as your jaw bone is cut and used to increase the horizontal projection. The new position of the bone is fixed by titanium screws and the bone gets completely healed in a year.
My day to day Surgery experience is given below:
Day 1: On the previous night of the surgery doctor insisted me not to take any food or water after 10 pm.I followed the instruction very carefully which also included hot Micro shield solution bath.
Surgery was done by local Anastasia at 10 Am morning and completed around 3:00 PM. After 1 Hour of Post surgery it was a very Painful but thanks to the painkillers that gave me a great relief.I went home around 5:00 PM ate some ice creams, drank juice and went to bed.
Day 2: I was lethargic with slight headache and fever.Pain was intense and I wanted to sleep but my stomach wont stop me.I ate ice creams,drank juices , took pills,rinsed my mouth and went to bed straight away.
Day 3: Oh it was magic!! my pain certainly reduced and I was able to walk and laugh comfortably. This time I had soft diet rice,took pills and enjoyed laptop movies and games.
Day 4 : It was similar to day 3
Day 5: I went to clinic and everyone were eager to see me there.I was called for removal of bandages near my chin and to check if there were any side effects.
They removed my bandage and I could see how much my chin was swollen. I felt that my face had become more aesthetic pleasing apart from the swelling one:)
The doctor told me that swelling will go down as the day passes.There were no side effects like infection or any damage to the root of the teeth.
Day 6: I made one mistake by removing the food particles at the sutured area with my tongue. It started to bleed and i got worried. I informed doctor and he said to use the saline water.
Day 7: I visited the clinic after Day 6 nightmare. Doctor advised me that to be on better and safer side have liquid food and rinse thoroughly with saline water for a week. Saline water showed a immediate positive effect that day and bleeding got reduced.
Day 8: I started rinsing thoroughly with saline water and used gauze paper to remove the food particles at sutured area. The bleeding was minimum.
Day 9: Similar to day 8 with minimum bleeding.
Day 10: Bleeding gone. Hurrah I am happy as the swelling has come down to 80%.Finally I could feel the difference of new face and new chin.It is very pleasing.
In total I took 2 weeks of leave for recovery purpose and I say that it is worth for time and money. Thanks especially to the staff,doctors and the workers of the GVG Aesthetic clinic.
