After revision double jaw surgery, my sleep apnea disappeared. (My face got smaller and younger too)

After I had double jaw surgery at a famous dental clinic near Sinsa Station in the past, I developed severe snoring and sleep apnea. At first I didn’t know why, so I had a sleep study and was diagnosed with apnea, and after that I had to wear a CPAP every night. (People who have never worn a CPAP won’t know how miserable it is. It’s not even that effective, but the device itself is uncomfortable to sleep with, and there are other problems too, so it actually makes it harder to sleep.) When I went back to the hospital where I had my first jaw surgery for a follow-up, the director told me it was temporary breathing difficulty because of swelling, so I just lived with it. But even after several months to a year, the symptoms didn’t improve and only got worse. On top of that, my original concern, the underbite, barely improved at all, so in the end it became a surgery that only left me with sleep apnea. Eventually I ended up going to several places for revision consultations, and I spent nearly 1 million won just on consultation fees. I joined plastic surgery communities and went around to the hospitals that were mentioned there. Among them, I visited CBK, and Dr. Choi Bong-gyun diagnosed that during the double jaw surgery, the upper and lower jaws had been moved too far inward, and the rotation direction was wrong, which narrowed the airway and caused the sleep apnea. At the consultation, I didn’t say anything, but as soon as he looked at the X-ray, he asked if I snored. Because it was revision surgery, I wanted to decide very carefully, so I visited more than 10 hospitals. Among them, the reason I chose CBK Plastic Surgery was that it was the only place that explained not just appearance, but also functional aspects like the airway and occlusion in detail. At first, among the hospitals I had researched, there weren’t many materials or reviews on the community or hospital place pages, and the consultation fee was expensive, so it felt burdensome and suspicious. But once I actually went, the fact that they said they had had no accidents for over 20 years, and that the director specialized in revision double jaw surgery and had a lot of experience, gave me great confidence. I also looked at the other hospital information myself and decided to proceed with surgery. After adjusting the surgery date and going in on the day of surgery, I was disoriented from anesthesia when I was moved to recovery, but even so I could immediately feel that breathing was much easier than before surgery. There was also time to review the post-op CT and X-ray with the director, and when I compared the before-and-after images, I was really surprised and moved to see that the airway had become about twice as wide as before. And not only did the functional issues improve, but my appearance changed more than I expected too. The underbite was improved naturally rather than in an excessively artificial way, and my long face also looked much shorter, so I seemed younger and more three-dimensional. Looking at the mirror and the CT, I was so surprised that I wondered, 'Is this really my CT? Is this really my face?' He also explained things by showing the airway measurements, which made me trust him even more. Honestly, I do regret that if I had gotten the surgery at CBK Plastic Surgery from the beginning, I wouldn’t have had to go through all this suffering. But it was my own wrong choice, so who can I blame? For my first double jaw surgery, I honestly thought all the surgeries were the same and chose a place with a low price or lots of reviews, but in the end I spent more money on revision surgery, and I regret it so much. Since it was revision surgery, I worried about every small change after the operation and contacted the hospital a lot. Every time, they listened sincerely without showing any annoyance, and answered all my questions kindly until the end. Thanks to the aftercare and warm response, which were so different from the previous hospital, I was also greatly supported psychologically, and I felt this was truly a hospital I could trust and rely on. In particular, the staff manager with the baby-like voice was really, really, really never annoyed with me It has now been a year since surgery, and I’m doing well and living healthily without any functional discomfort. My quality of life has changed greatly, and I’m satisfied with the aesthetic result too, so I sincerely thank the director and the medical staff. Don’t just look at advertisements.
