I recently went in for a checkup at 6 months after my double jaw surgery! Since childhood I had severe asymmetry and malocclusion, which made my jaw hurt all the time and I often had indigestion, so I decided on double jaw surgery. Once I became a high school student and my growth finished, I went straight to Y oral surgery clinic and had double jaw surgery and contouring type 2 (square jaw, chin)! Now it has been 6 months, and compared with 3 months, I can feel that almost all the swelling has gone down, which makes me so happy! As for eating, even at 3 months, if I chewed something tough, my jaw would feel a bit tired, but now I can eat meat and other harder foods very well. And now I can almost open my mouth fully, so daily life is much less inconvenient. Since the TMJ problems are gone, the clicking sounds in my jaw are gone too! After surgery I also had orthodontic treatment, so my molars close together properly and my malocclusion was corrected, which made eating much more comfortable! As the swelling went down, my facial asymmetry improved a lot, and I started taking photos more often even though I usually did not. And with more facial depth, my self-esteem has gone up a lot haha Now the severe asymmetry has improved, and people around me say my face looks smaller and much prettier! haha At this point, with almost all the swelling gone, people meeting me for the first time would not know I had double jaw surgery because I look so natural haha The recovery is hard for a few weeks after surgery, but it is absolutely a surgery you will not regret if you can endure that! I am so, so grateful to Director Lee Seok-jae!
