It has already been well over a year since I received double jaw surgery and three contouring procedures (cheekbones, square jaw, and chin) from Director Lee Seok-jae at YG Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery haha. Since middle school, my long chin, square jaw, and broad face shape had been a major lifelong complex for me, and I had been worrying about bone surgery for a very long time because of it.
Before entering university, I finally wanted to resolve this concern and was looking into several clinics, when I decided that an oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic specializing in facial bones would be the safest choice! At first, I actually only thought about contouring surgery, but through the consultation I learned that I was definitely a case that needed double jaw surgery too More than anything, Director Lee’s surgical style, which pursues natural results, and his honest style of never recommending unnecessary diagnoses gave me trust, so I chose YG Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. After six months of pre-surgical orthodontics, I finally went into surgery in early December haha.
At the time of surgery, the recovery process really felt difficult, but now that a year has passed, I can say that even if I were to go back to that time, I would choose surgery without hesitation, because my satisfaction is extremely high. The bumpy, angular face shape and underbite complex that had bothered me my whole life completely disappeared, and now I’m so used to my current appearance that I can barely remember how I used to look. In particular, thanks to Director Lee Seok-jae accurately understanding my needs and creating a face shape that is harmonious and pretty without being overdone, I feel like I gained a face I can carry with confidence for life.
During the long recovery period, the office managers kindly and in detail responded to all my small worries and questions before and after surgery, which helped me get through the difficult process safely. Being able to trust them with the face I had worried about for my whole life was truly one of the best decisions of my life, I think. I deeply thank everyone at the hospital for their careful surgery and care.
