When I was thinking about double jaw surgery, I looked up tons of reviews, and somehow here I am now, 5 months after surgery by Director Kim Jong-yun at I-U Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, writing my own review haha!! Since middle school I had known that my jaw was asymmetrical and jutting forward like an underbite, but because I was afraid of surgery, I had been covering it with a mask for a long time TT_TT I tried to solve it with orthodontic treatment alone, but the fundamental jaw problem did not improve, and every time I took a photo, I unconsciously covered my chin, which became more and more stressful. Especially because of my facial asymmetry and underbite, I was not confident about taking photos, either. At that point I decided I wanted to improve it properly instead of hiding it anymore, and that is how I decided on double jaw surgery!! I thought double jaw surgery should be done at oral and maxillofacial surgery rather than plastic surgery, so I looked into several hospitals and had consultations at about 3 or 4 places Among them, I-U Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery stood out because it is directly connected with dentistry, and right from the consultation stage they took impressions and explained my current condition in detail based on my teeth, bite, and jawbone structure!! Some hospitals recommended operating first, but given my situation at the time, it was difficult to proceed with surgery right away, and Director Kim Jong-yun suggested a step-by-step plan starting with pre-orthodontic treatment, which made me trust them the most! They also explained the treatment process in an easy-to-understand way, so I naturally ended up choosing I-U Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery~~ It has already been 5 months since my double jaw surgery, and I have recovered so much that the parts I worry about because of swelling are almost gone haha Right now I am fully satisfied already, but I am also looking forward to how much more natural and slim my face will become once the minor swelling disappears too haha Recently I had to do some video filming, and if it had been like before, I would have been too worried about my jaw looking prominent to participate actively. But now that the burden about my appearance has gone down a lot, I was able to join the filming with a much more relaxed mindset, and that is where I feel the biggest difference from before surgery TT When taking photos or videos too, I no longer keep worrying about angles or habitually covering my jaw, which feels amazing Eating has also become so much easier. I have recovered enough to eat fairly firm fruit without trouble, and there is almost no discomfort in my regular meals either!! Daily life has also been going well without any special restrictions, so as time passes I keep thinking more and more that I am glad I had the surgery haha I still have a little way to go until full recovery, but as of 5 months, the functional side has improved a lot, and above all the stress about my appearance has dropped greatly, so my satisfaction is very high and every day feels so happy!!!!
