After presurgical orthodontic treatment at Seoul National University Dental Hospital, I consulted with Professor Choi Jin-young, formerly of its oral and maxillofacial surgery department, and proceeded with surgery. I heard that he retired around February 2026 and moved to a private clinic. I was lucky because the private clinic cost about half as much as a university hospital. I worried about the equipment and what might happen under general anesthesia, but the surgery was completed safely. Most of all, the staff cared for me so kindly that I was comfortable even after surgery! I had planned to bring Seongsimdang pastries to my next appointment, but my mother bought them first, haha. I did not need to bring many supplies because the clinic already had more than expected, such as petroleum jelly, New Care nutrition drinks, a humidifier, and a TV. The private room made it even more comfortable. Useful things to bring would be a neck pillow, cushion, soothing facial pads—I brought Dr.G—and a personal laptop. Thank you to the professor, the anesthesiologist, and all the staff!
