It has already been two months since I had double-jaw surgery with Dr. Shin Hee-jin at [Clinic A]! At first I waited day by day for the swelling to go down, but now I only notice how much it has reduced when I take photos during everyday life haha. I could not feel the ongoing decrease in swelling every day, but when I compared my before-and-after double-jaw surgery photos with my one-month photos, I could clearly see my facial contours becoming more refined. In particular, I can see that my mouth and chin have moved inward in profile, which amazes me every time I take a photo!
The hardest part of recovering from double-jaw surgery was, of course, eating, but now I can eat about 70% of regular meals. I am still careful with hard or chewy foods, and it is a little sad that I still cannot eat tteokbokki T_T But compared with when I could only eat porridge at first, my post-surgery diet has become much easier haha.
I now have almost no pain or discomfort, so it does not interfere with daily life at all. I am also undergoing orthodontic treatment after double-jaw surgery, so I am looking forward to seeing how my bite settles. Before surgery, I worried a lot that recovery would take a long time, but now that I am at the two-month point, it seems I returned to daily life sooner than I expected. There is still residual swelling to go down, but I am satisfied with my double-jaw surgery results so far! I am looking forward to further swelling reduction and seeing how my face changes haha!!!
