Compared with the one-month mark, the swelling has definitely gone down much more, and my face feels like it is gradually settling into place. At first, I kept wondering when the recovery period for double-jaw surgery would pass, but now daily life is much more comfortable compared with the early stage. The areas where there had been stitches near my lips felt warm for a while, but that has decreased a lot now. Until the one-month mark, it was difficult to properly see the before-and-after difference in the mirror because of swelling, but lately, as the swelling goes down, I think I can gradually see the changes from double-jaw surgery too.
People around me also tell me that my face has changed a lot, but that it does not look excessively obvious that I had surgery and that it turned out well, so I am satisfied, haha. When looking for a place that performs double-jaw surgery well, I looked through so many YouTube videos and Naver reviews, and I think it was a good decision to consult at Iyu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and choose them.
I still need to watch my diet after double-jaw surgery, so being unable to eat freely is what I regret most T_T I want to reach the three-month mark soon so I can chew meat comfortably, lol. I hope the remaining swelling goes down further and that my orthodontic treatment after double-jaw surgery also progresses well! Before surgery, I was very worried about complications and recovery from double-jaw surgery, but so far it seems to be progressing well according to the recovery process Dr. Shin Hee-jin explained, so I am looking forward to next month's changes too :)
