I had double jaw surgery from Dr. Kim Jong-yun at Yi Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. At first, I visited a local dental clinic because of dental treatment, but after hearing the director talk directly about his own surgical experience, I became naturally interested when I heard that he had felt much more at ease.
After that, I compared postoperative reviews from several hospitals and thought it over, but Yi Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery seemed to have results that were not excessive and felt stable, which is why I chose it. Now, 10 months after the surgery, my daily life is almost no different from before surgery, and I can feel that life has become much easier as my bite has settled^^ I am still in the middle of orthodontic treatment, so I do eat a little carefully and sometimes pay attention to my speech, but overall I think things are gradually getting better haha.
Most of the swelling has gone down and my facial shape has settled naturally, so I am satisfied with the external changes too. More than anything, the biggest thing I feel is that chewing has become easier. I was told that management is important at this stage, so I try not to eat only on one side, and even when I sleep I pay attention to my posture. I think these are also part of the process of maintaining the results for a long time.
Overall, this is definitely a surgery that requires a recovery period and orthodontic treatment, but because functional improvement and facial shape changes come together so dramatically, I think it is a surgery with very high satisfaction. Since I think it will become even more comfortable once the orthodontic treatment is finished, I am looking forward to each day even more haha
