Hello, it has already been 3 months since my double-jaw surgery and contouring surgery in 2 areas (square jaw and chin). When I wrote my one-month review, time felt like it was taking forever, but once about 90 days had passed, I could eat a bit more things and finally felt like I had returned somewhat to my normal life. I had a severe malocclusion where my lower teeth stuck out far beyond my upper teeth, an underbite, and asymmetry too, so when taking photos or speaking I would unconsciously cover my chin and mouth. I also ended up doing a lot of editing to push my chin back in photos, so my self-esteem seemed to drop a bit, and I felt my chin was such a flaw that after a consultation I had the surgery at Y Oral Surgery. Anyway, these days when I meet friends, they all say my face looks completely different, but also that there is not a single visible sign of surgery, which they find amazing. Whenever people meeting me for the first time say they thought this was just my natural face, I really feel like I made the right choice to have the surgery. These days I also get quite a few comments that I look handsome, so my self-esteem has gone up a lot. Around the 3-month mark, the bones have fused enough that I can eat almost anything. Recently I even ate a hamburger and pizza, but I am still being careful, so I cut them into small pieces with a knife and chew only with my molars. At the one-month mark, my face looked a bit wide and round, and I worried that all the sharpness had disappeared. But as I entered the 3-month stage and the residual swelling in my philtrum and chin tip went down little by little, the hidden jawline started to show again. Right after surgery, even breathing was hard and every day felt like a crisis, but now that 3 months have passed, those memories are already faint. Before, taking photos was stressful because of my underbite and asymmetry, but now I am satisfied even when I take pictures with the default camera and no editing. If anyone is hesitating about surgery, I recommend not being afraid and doing it as soon as possible. It really feels like your life changes.!!
