For many years she could not eat or speak properly. Now it's a different matter!
- Thanks to the doctors for changing my fate! - 18-year-old Alla is unable to hold back tears of joy. These words - for the first time in many years - she can pronounce clearly and distinctly. Sound to sound!
From the very birth, the girl suffered from macrognathy. This is a rare disease (it occurs in only 2% of people in the world), a severe pathology of the lower jaw. It is too large, as a result, the proportions of the face change, and the upper lip sinks. The man looks like an old man. Moreover, with such a jaw it is extremely difficult to eat and speak. The teeth do not close. You try to squeeze out the words, but those around you simply do not understand …
The parents did their best to help their daughter. When she was still a tiny bit, she was seen by the dentist. In the lower grades, the girl was given plates for expanding and lengthening the upper jaw, but in vain. From the age of 15, Alla began to wear braces, but there was no hope that they would correct the situation.
A year later, the girl's father and mother decided to show her to the doctors of maxillofacial surgery of the regional clinical hospital. Maybe they can help? And they were not mistaken! As soon as Alla turned 18 (it was impossible before), she was hospitalized.
The head of the department Andrei Simonov and his assistant Ivan Kan performed a complex operation. For two and a half hours, the fragments of the jaw were moved into the "correct" position and the fragments of the jaw were fixed with titanium plates. In fact, they reassembled it - jewelry work!
And now Alla looks in the mirror with a smile.
- I am grateful for everything to the surgeons of the regional hospital! - she rejoices. - I had no fear of the operation, I wanted to become beautiful, I wanted others to understand my speech.
