Two-month review after double-jaw surgery for a prognathic jaw

I had been concerned about my jaw for a long time because of a hereditary prognathic jaw, and decided to undergo double-jaw surgery after my parents encouraged me. While researching clinics, I had a consultation at Iyu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. I gained confidence when Dr. Kim Jong-yoon carefully examined my condition and explained the surgery, so I decided to proceed. It has already been two months since surgery. Immediately afterward, my face was very swollen, and even drinking water or taking medicine was difficult, but compared with then, I’m much more comfortable now. There was still some residual swelling until the one-month mark, but by two months it had decreased to the point of being almost nonexistent, and my facial contour also feels more settled. Eating has become much easier. Unless I have to open my mouth very wide or eat something hard, I can eat most foods. Early on, I could only eat soft foods such as New Care, rice gruel, porridge, and steamed eggs, so I really missed eating ordinary meals. Now that there are many more foods I can eat, I’m satisfied. In fact, I was so happy to be able to eat again that I ate many different things and gained a little weight. I also got used to the taste of New Care during the early recovery period, so I can still have it without 부담 when needed. At the beginning, I kept wanting to eat brisket jjamppong, so being able to eat my usual foods one by one again makes me realize how much I’ve recovered. Moving my jaw is also easier than at one month, and I experience far fewer inconveniences from the surgery in daily life. Most of all, I’m satisfied that my long-standing prognathic jaw has improved and that, as the swelling subsides, I’m gradually seeing my changed face. It has only been two months, so I still need to wait and see, but I think my recovery has been going well so far. At first, after surgery with Dr. Kim Jong-yoon, I kept waiting for the swelling to go down and for me to eat comfortably, but now, two months later, I’m incomparably more comfortable than I was at the beginning. I’m looking forward to my facial contours settling further over time.
