I had always been bothered by how awkward my side profile looked because of my malocclusion, and every time I took a photo I worried about my side facial line, so the stress kept building. In the end, I wanted to regain my confidence, so I had double jaw surgery with Dr. Shin at the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic. I compared reviews from several hospitals, and what stood out about this clinic was that the before-and-after photos of double jaw surgery looked natural and not overdone. Even during the consultation, they pinpointed exactly the facial line and bite issues I had been worrying about, which made me trust them. They explained not only the appearance but also the functional aspects, so it really sank in that double jaw surgery can help improve malocclusion as well as aesthetics. The surgical plan was also explained in a systematic way, so even though it was a major operation, I felt well prepared. It has been 4 months now, and I am living day to day almost the same as before surgery. I can eat most foods comfortably, and except for part of my chin tip, much of my sensation has returned, so recovery seems to be progressing more steadily than I expected. At first I worried about swelling and numbness, but as time passed my facial line became more refined and my side profile became much more natural, so every time I look in the mirror I think I made the right choice. Compared with how I used to worry about my malocclusion and face shape, I can feel changes in both function and appearance, and I am personally experiencing that double jaw surgery, rather than being just a huge operation, can be a choice that raises quality of life when it is properly planned and performed haha
