The One Who Only Searched for Jaw Surgery Side Effects: My Honest Conclusion After 11 Months

I had double jaw surgery with Dr. Kim Jong-yoon at Iyoo Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and I am now 11 months post-op. I had a severe underbite, so I was teased a lot when I was young, and every time I heard that my appearance did not feel feminine, the hurt piled up until I eventually started seriously considering double jaw surgeryFrom the process of looking into several hospitals, the most decisive reason I chose Iyoo Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery was that their pre-op examinations were the most systematic. Through tests including CT scans, they accurately checked my facial skeletal structure and bite, and then explained only the treatments I actually needed, which made me trust them. Every time I heard, "Isn't it a surgery where they shave the bone?" I hesitated for years, and honestly, it would be a lie to say I was not scared. I searched for side effects of double jaw surgery dozens of times, lay in bed at night getting scared for no reason, and kept putting it off. But even while being so afraid, every time I looked in the mirror my chin stood out first, and in photos I avoided my side profile first. I do not know why I just kept trying to endure and live with it.. My biggest complexes, the underbite and misaligned bite, were not just appearance issues but also affected function, and after surgery my bite stabilized and my jawline and overall face shape felt more balanced. Now, 11 months later, my face just feels naturally like my face, and I think it is more accurate to say it was brought into balance rather than changed too drastically. I cannot say the recovery period was very comfortable, but I was managed more systematically than I had expected, and as time passed the uncomfortable memories faded while the results became visible every day. These days, the biggest change is that I do not have to check angles when taking photos or worry about my chin anymore. I experienced firsthand that double jaw surgery is not simply a cosmetic choice, but a surgery with a clear purpose: improving an underbite and malocclusion and restoring facial balance. For me, it was a decision where the fear was great, but the change was just as clear. If I had to go back, I think I would do it again, to the point that the time I spent hesitating feels even more regrettable, really ♡
