Double-Jaw Surgery Reviews

I had double-jaw surgery where my orthodontic clinic recommended haha, as expected, a dental recommendation

I had severe malocclusion from childhood, so I had always thought that I would need double-jaw surgery someday. The dental clinic where I was receiving orthodontic treatment also said that mine was a case requiring surgery. The director of my orthodontic clinic recommended Yiyu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and after a consultation I had surgery with Dr. Kim Jong-yoon. It has already been seven months since the surgery, and I would like to write my seven-month review like a diary. One month: After about one month, I had almost returned to normal daily life! After day 30, I gradually became able to chew, the foods I could eat became more varied, and brushing my teeth became much more comfortable. Jaw pain and a tight sensation occurred only very occasionally, and I was fine most of the time, so there was no major inconvenience in daily life. The swelling had also gone down significantly, to the point that I could barely feel it even by touching it with my hand. Two months: The swelling in the front cheeks had decreased tremendously, and the discomfort in my mouth and gingival muscles when speaking had improved greatly too. At first, the muscles around my mouth felt a little awkward, but over time I could feel them gradually relaxing naturally. I had recently started orthodontic treatment as well, and by this point I had recovered to where I barely felt any discomfort from the double-jaw surgery~~ Three months: It felt as if only a very slight amount of cheek swelling remained on the right side, while almost all other swelling had subsided. Other than the inconvenience caused by orthodontic treatment, there seemed to be almost no discomfort from the surgery, and overall I was living very satisfied haha Four months: The tight sensation around my mouth and jaw had also diminished greatly, and I felt that the residual swelling had gone down much more than before. I remember this as a period when I felt progressively more comfortable with time ~ ~ Five to six months: Around this time, the tight feeling around my mouth had almost disappeared, and my expressions had become much more natural than before! The swelling around the philtrum, which had subtly lingered for a long time, had also almost gone down, so my face felt even more natural and I was satisfied. Currently, it has already been seven months since I had double-jaw surgery with Dr. Kim Jong-yoon! Now there is almost no tight sensation around my lips, and I think all the persistent philtrum swelling has gone down too haha My facial expressions and movement around my mouth have become much more natural, and I now live with almost no discomfort from the surgery. Throughout the recovery process from the beginning until now, I felt a little more comfortable bit by bit, and at seven months I am satisfied because everything truly feels much more natural!!!
