It has been 4 months since I had double jaw surgery from Dr. Shin Hee-jin at Yigu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery~! Since I was little, my underbite and long face have always been my complexes, and because of the nickname “jaw monkey,” I was teased wherever I went, to the point that I started hating taking photos and had almost no selfies on my phone..! I thought about double jaw surgery for a long time, but the cost was a burden, and the reports of side effects I saw in the news made it hard to decide, so I ended up reaching my 30s without doing it. Still, I began to think that if I kept putting off time like this, my confidence about my appearance would only keep falling and emotionally things would get harder, so in the end I gathered the courage to do it for myself While choosing a hospital, I looked through well-known plastic surgery communities and cafes, and through recommendations from actual patients I came to know Yigu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. After that, I watched the doctors’ explanations on YouTube and Instagram, and I especially trusted how they explained not just cosmetic changes but also considered the bite and facial balance together!! Among them, Dr. Shin Hee-jin’s natural and not-overdone aesthetic standards matched the face image I wanted really well, so I think my heart leaned even more toward this place haha Before surgery, I was worried about the recovery process and the changes, but once it was over, I found that recovery went more calmly than I expected, and now it looks so natural that no one knows I had surgery unless I mention it! People around me say my expression became softer and I look younger, and the biggest change is that I do not have to hide my face like before. Even now, whenever I look in the mirror and check my changed appearance, I feel like all the worries and concerns I had were not wasted, and in terms of being able to let go of both the functional discomfort and the stress about my appearance, I feel this was a very satisfying choice overall, so this is my 4-month double jaw surgery review, and I am very satisfied haha!!! Dr. Shin is the best!!!!
