Review After Orthognathic Surgery for Severe Asymmetry and a Long Chin

Hello, it has been a month since my jaw surgery~! Ever since I was young, I had always been bothered by my long chin and severe facial asymmetry when looking at my side profile. So I thought that once I became an adult and had money, I absolutely had to fix my facial shape. But I was unsure whether I should do double jaw surgery or just contouring. I wanted to ask about it during consultations, but then I came across short videos from Yi Oral Surgery on YouTube. In those shorts, Director Lee Seok-jae said that he performs both double jaw surgery and contouring, but only the necessary surgeries, and that there are also cases where he refuses surgery, which made me trust him. So I thought I would ask at Yi Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery whether I should do double jaw surgery or not, and decide what surgery I should get. Then, after the consultation, I felt that they had their own surgical rules and criteria, and that it was a safe clinic. Since I was told that I had a prognathic jaw case and needed double jaw surgery, I ended up having double jaw surgery plus contouring in 2 areas (square jaw and chin). First, I felt that it hurt less than I expected. But the discomfort could not be helped Still, for the 2 nights and 3 days, the nurses kept taking good care of me kindly. Even at night, while I was trying to fall asleep, they kept changing the ice packs... thank you. After discharge, I kept eating porridge, taking medicine, walking a little, and doing heat therapy.. just repeating that. I kept thinking about fried chicken Everyone, before surgery, make sure you eat all the things you want as much as you can. I really regret it. Then in the second week, they remove the stitches, and I was very nervous, but it was less painful than I expected, just a slight flinch. It has been one month since the surgery. The long chin in my side profile has receded, the nose bridge that was not visible has become more prominent, and it has become a very satisfying side profile. From the front, my asymmetry has improved compared to before. The swelling has not fully gone down yet, and I still have orthodontic treatment left, and the surgery is not fully over, so I am waiting and hoping that things continue to go well.
