I read Dr. Choi's blog posts and went after studying his surgical style and the operation to some extent. I recommend preparing a list of questions and asking everything when you go. If you do the pre-study and organize your question list, he explains everything in a calm and relatively kind way. What was unusual was that he stated confidently that there would be no nasal widening with double jaw surgery. He said he had never heard any complaints about nasal widening. When I consulted other oral and maxillofacial surgeons, they said that some nasal deformity was very likely because it is unpredictable.. Anyway, another hospital looked at my 3D CT and said my cheekbones were small and my soft tissue was thick, so the risk of sagging was high and the effect would be small, so they did not recommend cheekbone surgery. Here, they said the risk of sagging was low, thanks to their skill lol, and that they could reduce it more. They said lifting the fascia upward would lower the risk of sagging. Hmm, I should look into that more. But since he is not a dentist or orthodontic specialist, he seems somewhat weaker than oral and maxillofacial surgery on occlusion, which is a bit disappointing. Just in case, I asked whether I might be a case that could do surgery first, and he said that could only be judged after a detailed examination by an orthodontist. And for double jaw surgery, they said the chin also has to be advanced, so the chin was added to the diagnosis and cost T_T At several other hospitals I consulted, chin manipulation was not mandatory, and if the chin had to be advanced, it was just included in the double jaw surgery fee..
The consultation director was kind and tried to explain everything in as much detail as possible. I was surprised to learn that a close family member had also had double jaw surgery from Dr. Choi here. Looking at other consultation reviews, people said he was a little older and not very comfortable using a computer, and that he did not show review photos, but that was not the case when I consulted. He looked at the review photos on the computer fine and explained things just as well as any other hospital.
