Hello, it has now been 6 months since I had double jaw surgery. The reason I had the surgery was that as I became an adult, one side of my jaw gradually seemed to get bigger and the asymmetry became more severe. Even if I went in for lip filler, I realized that doing it in that state would just make my face look more twisted, and even with chin Botox or lifting, if you don't fix the root cause, it is useless, I guess T_T At the dermatology clinic, some people said asymmetry could be made to match in photos, but my thought was that people do not stay still like in a photo. They talk, move, and make expressions, so what is the point of only making it match in photos? That feeling grew stronger, so I decided on double jaw surgery and contouring type 2 (square jaw + chin) at Yi-Gi Oral Surgery! What I remember most is that during the consultation, when I asked whether shoulder exercises or acupuncture could realign a crooked jaw, they said, "Go ahead and try it a hundred times, it still won't work, lol." I felt the same way, which is why I came here, haha. After the consultation with Director Lee Seok-jae, I was told that my jaw does not go in very much, but since the asymmetry is visible in photos, it was worth operating on. I liked that the consultation was neither vague nor too textbook-like, so I decided on this place! The surgical result was surprisingly close to the face shape I had been correcting in photos all along, even though I did not show them the edited versions, and my symmetry improved too, haha. My jaw joint used to hurt when yawning or chewing hard foods, with a grinding sound, and sometimes when eating hard food, my lower teeth would overlap the upper teeth and it hurt, but now none of that happens~~ I went back to my regular hair salon after a long time, and my stylist was shocked, saying, "Why have you lost so much weight? If you cut your bangs, your face will disappear," and even the other stylists were looking at me, lol. They had never said anything like that to me before...... I guess my face really did get much smaller, haha I was worried that if only a little change was made during surgery, nothing would be different, but it seems I was worrying for nothing. Haha. I am adjusting to the natural changes both functionally and aesthetically.
