Hello! I looked into hospitals in various places, and after a recommendation from someone I knew who had a successful surgery at Iyu Oral Surgery, I learned about Iyu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery / Director Shin Hee-jin. While looking through reviews, I built trust in the surgical experience and results, and the director's reputation was also good, so I naturally decided on it!!!
At 3 months after surgery, there wasn't a huge difference compared with month 2, but the sensation in my lower jaw had not fully returned yet, so it felt a little numb. This is something that commonly appears during recovery, so I didn't worry too much about it! On the other hand, after removing the upper jaw screws, the discomfort I felt when eating was reduced, and as the major swelling almost completely went down, I was satisfied that my appearance became much more natural Overall, daily life was not very inconvenient, and my satisfaction with the results remained high!!
Even at month 4, there weren't any major changes compared with month 3, but the feeling when eating on both sides was a little different. That also naturally became easier to adapt to over time, so it wasn't to the point of being bothersome? More than that, I actually felt positively because my facial shape seemed to settle more and more as time passed, so I was glad about that.
After that, from months 5 to 8, it stayed stable without major changes, and the sensory abnormality was also gradually improving.
Now it's been 9 months since surgery! Overall, jaw surgery requires a recovery period in which sensation returns, but because of that it is a sufficiently satisfying choice in the sense that it can improve the bite, facial balance, and even the comfort of everyday eating and speaking. As time goes by, I feel that it is a surgery with even more expected changes as it naturally settles in, so I am very satisfied!!
