Hello. I am now 6 months out from having orthognathic surgery plus contouring surgery 2 types, square jaw and chin, at Y Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery after pre-orthodontic treatment at another dental clinic, because of severe jaw asymmetry. Ever since I was little, I was always stressed because of the asymmetry, and I hated taking photos. And in everyday life too, I had no confidence in everything. Having a face-to-face conversation with someone required confidence for me. When I was 20, I saw people with cases similar to mine having orthognathic surgery. Back then, orthognathic surgery was unfamiliar to me and just scary, so I did not even go to a hospital. I also did not have the courage to tell my parents. I went through middle school, high school, university, and the military like that, and then I felt that I could not go on like this, so when I turned 30 I decided to have surgery. Since I was going to do it anyway, I looked into the Gangnam area where many well-known hospitals are clustered instead of the province where I live, and by chance I came across Director Lee Seok-jae, a specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery, through YouTube. I made a consultation appointment right away without hesitation, and after the director and the consultation manager kindly guided and explained everything to me, I felt there was no need to keep running around to other hospitals, so I made up my mind to have orthognathic surgery at Y Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and it has now been 6 months since the surgery. I can now eat everything without restrictions, and I am doing high-intensity exercise without any problems. The swelling seems to have mostly gone down, and I am living normally like everyone else. I definitely feel that the suffering in the early period after surgery was worth it. More than anything, the jaw asymmetry that was my biggest complex has improved, so I do not have to wear that stuffy mask anymore and can go out with confidence. My face has become smaller, so my proportions look better too, which makes me happy. In the end, choosing to have the surgery at Y Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery was something I did without regret, and it was a good decision. I would recommend this hospital to anyone considering surgery. Thank you, Director Lee Seok-jae.
