Wow, I was already writing a review and realized it has already been 11 months since I had double jaw surgery!,, amazing,, it’s almost been a year already,,, time really flies_ For reference, I had the surgery with Director Shin Hee-jin at ㅇㅇㄱㄱ!I originally had a slight underbite and facial asymmetry, so my appearance complex was really severe. I almost never took photos taken by other people, and I gradually stopped taking selfies too. Every time I looked in the mirror, I only saw flaws, so it naturally led me to think about double jaw surgery!I had consultations at two hospitals in total, and among them, the consultation with Director Shin Hee-jin at Iyu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery was the most memorable for me. She looked at my face very carefully, and at another hospital they said only IVRO was possible, but the doctor here explained that SSRO was fully possible, which made me trust her more. That’s how I decided to have surgery with Director Shin Hee-jin!!It’s been 11 months since the surgery now, and around the 6-month mark I felt like most of the swelling had gone down Right now, unless I tell people first, no one knows I had surgery!!! My face looks much smaller than before, and my mouth naturally sits in, so I’m extremely satisfied. These days people around me often tell me my face has really gotten smaller! Of course, looking prettier aesthetically is important too, but for me, what mattered more and changed even more was my mind! Before, when someone looked at me, I used to feel like they were looking at my chin, so I would shrink into myself and worry a lot. But now I almost don’t care about those looks anymore In fact, people who don’t know I had surgery often tell me I look prettier, and that gave me a lot of confidence! Sometimes I even think, what if I had done it just a little earlier?Before surgery, when I looked at SNS, people said double jaw surgery was the most dangerous and painful surgery, so I was very worried, but from my experience it wasn’t as hard as I thought Of course, for about the first week it was uncomfortable to breathe, not being able to sleep on my side and being restricted in what I could eat were a little hard too^-^..! Still, as one week and then two weeks passed, it gradually got easier, and looking back now, the memories of how hard it was are much smaller than the image of how pretty I became!!!As the underbite and facial asymmetry that had bothered me for a long time mostly disappeared, I worried less about other people’s gazes, and my parents also felt very sorry that they had initially opposed the surgery, saying I smile so much brighter and more often than beforeSo if there’s anyone out there like me who has been worrying about it for a long time, I hope you’ll get enough consultations at several hospitals instead of stressing by yourself!!! I also came to understand my condition precisely through the consultations, and I think that process really helped me make a good choiceAnd in the end, I’m living very happily because I’m so satisfied both aesthetically and functionally!!
