Since my face shape changed after jaw surgery, styling has become fun

These days, every time I look in the mirror, my much more natural-looking face feels familiar to me!!! Since middle school, I had been self-conscious about facial asymmetry and a jaw that protruded forward As I’m sure many people can relate, because it’s bone surgery and double-jaw surgery, I lived for a long time covering my face with a mask due to the fear I had from those assumptions. I also tried to solve it with orthodontics alone, but the fundamental jaw problem didn’t change., Every time I took a photo, I gradually started to dislike the version of myself who unconsciously covered my chin, and I came to want to improve it properly rather than keep hiding it, which led me to decide on jaw surgery! When I was looking for a hospital, I thought that double-jaw surgery should be done by an oral and maxillofacial surgery department, so I went to consultations at about 3 or 4 places! Among them, I was impressed that Iyu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery was linked directly with the dental clinic, so from the consultation stage they took impressions and explained the condition of my jaw one by one based on the tooth structure At other hospitals, they also recommended doing surgery first in some cases, but in my situation at the time it was hard to undergo surgery right away, and Director Kim Jong-yun at Iyu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery suggested a plan to proceed step by step with pre-orthodontic treatment first, which felt like it matched the treatment plan I wanted, so I ultimately chose them~!! Right after surgery, every day felt incredibly long, but before I knew it, 7 months had passed, which still feels amazing. As time went by, the remaining swelling gradually went down, the facial line became slimmer, and now it feels less like I had surgery and more like my face has naturally settled into place! My family and people around me also say this face feels much more familiar now, so there’s no awkwardness at all! Comparing before-and-after photos, the change is clearly big, but it doesn’t feel overly artificial or exaggerated; instead, the overall impression seems to have been naturally refined and softened, so I’m extremely satisfied!!!! Before, I thought my face shape didn’t suit hats very well, but now my face looks smaller and it’s become fun to try on different hats, and the range of styling options feels broader I can smile much more comfortably and naturally than before, and as the post-treatment orthodontics have progressed, the midline that was a little off after surgery is gradually becoming aligned, so my bite is settling stably as well. Once the orthodontic treatment is finished and the braces are removed, I think my mouth line will look even more natural, so I’m looking forward to that!!!! Above all, the most satisfying change is my side profile. Before, I lacked confidence because my side profile bothered me, but now I like my side profile even more than the front. It was a change I could never have imagined before surgery, and people around me keep complimenting me so much that it’s embarrassing, but as time passes, my satisfaction seems to keep growing!
