5 months after orthognathic surgery: I am the only one who knows I had it, and the only one who remembers it haha

Hello!! I am a patient who received orthognathic surgery from Dr. Shin Hee-jin at Lee Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and I am now 5 months post-op! I originally had prognathism and malocclusion, so daily life was uncomfortable, and I often heard that my pronunciation was unclear, which made me quietly self-conscious On top of that, as my facial shape also felt like a complex, I decided to have orthognathic surgery because I wanted to improve both the functional issues and my impression! When choosing a hospital, safety was the biggest concern, so I thought about it a lot, but Lee Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery had extensive experience with orthognathic surgery, and during the consultation they did not just say that I needed surgery; they explained one by one why I was uncomfortable and what could be improved, which built my trust! They also explained the surgical process, recovery period, and post-op changes realistically, so my vague fear was reduced a lot. Now it is already 5 months post-op, and honestly, my daily life has become so natural that I almost forget I had orthognathic surgery, and the awkwardness I used to feel in my face has almost disappeared. In particular, the part that used to worry me when smiling or speaking, thinking my jaw might stick out, is gone, so making facial expressions has become much easier, and I often hear that I look much more natural than before! Thank you to Dr. Shin Hee-jin at Lee Oral for performing the surgery safely!!!
