Alexis Traussi: 我从小就因为下巴问题感到自卑,这源于我严重的下颌后缩。经过多年的牙齿矫正,包括佩戴牙套和头套,我在12岁时摘掉了牙套,但仅仅六个月后,因为生长突增,下巴又变回了原来的样子。这让我非常沮丧,因为我一直希望通过矫正牙齿来改善外貌。我因为下巴问题感到自卑,这影响了我的社交和日常生活,我甚至不敢和朋友合影,因为害怕被评判。为了彻底解决这个问题,我决定接受下颌手术。医生向我解释了手术过程,包括可能带来的风险,比如味觉丧失。尽管手术存在风险,但我仍然决定尝试,因为我对外貌感到不满,并且希望改变这种状况。手术当天,我感到非常兴奋,因为我即将改变自己的外貌,拥有梦寐以求的笑容。然而,手术后,我对外貌的改变感到不适应,甚至不认识自己了。我开始担心别人会因此评判我,质疑我改变自己的决定。但我最终接受了改变,并且为自己敢于冒险而感到自豪。虽然我不再拥有标志性的下巴,但我相信我可以成为更好的自己。
