It's been 9 months since I had double-jaw surgery from Dr. Shin Hee-jin at Iyu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery! After being diagnosed that I needed double-jaw surgery to fundamentally correct my malocclusion, I started looking into hospitals focusing on oral and maxillofacial surgery. If you are a prospective double-jaw or contouring patient, these are probably places you would have checked too; I visited and consulted at a total of 5 places, including Iyu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery! In the end, I chose Iyu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The reason was that while comparing several hospitals, I realized that the surgical result is important, but just as important is how much they value safety and recovery. During the consultation, Dr. Shin Hee-jin calmly explained my condition instead of pushing surgery unconditionally, and gave realistic guidance on the timing of surgery, the process, and recovery, which naturally built trust :> Because I needed preoperative orthodontics, I went through about 6 months of orthodontic treatment first before having surgery, and during that process I felt much more at ease knowing that they were coordinating well with the orthodontics department! Now, at 9 months out, I have absolutely no inconvenience in daily life or eating, and I can clearly feel that functionally things are much more comfortable than before surgery! I still have a slight numb, tingling sensation near my jaw as if it were anesthetized, but it is gradually becoming less sensitive over time, so I feel like it is recovering well! Overall, the change in my facial shape is natural, and above all, I want to tell my former self who was worried about double-jaw surgery that I made the right choice because I am now free from the stress caused by malocclusion and can go through daily life comfortably haha applause applause I hope this helps everyone. Iyu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery / Dr. Shin 9-month review, signing off!
