Before before after after after Hello I had double-jaw surgery and two types of facial contouring surgery (square jaw + chin) on January 15. When I read reviews, there were many people similar to me.. Since middle school, I had been so tired of hearing that orthodontic treatment alone couldn’t fix it,, Honestly, when I was young I didn’t think much of it, but after entering high school and becoming an adult, I wanted surgery even more, and since I’ve always liked taking care of my appearance, I always felt something was lacking in my lower face! Until my early to mid-20s, the reason for surgery was largely cosmetic, but at some point I gradually felt my temporomandibular joint becoming misaligned. My jaw hurt so much I couldn’t sleep, and when I opened my mouth wide it started making clicking sounds, and I gradually saw myself experiencing functional discomfort too.
So I had surgery at Y Oral, and somehow I’m already 3 months post-op! Compared to month 1 and month 2, daily life has become much more comfortable, and I still feel the swelling slowly going down bit by bit.
Now I’m eating fairly freely! Chewing meat has become easier, and unless I’m biting into hard ice or candy, I can eat without difficulty! I’m undergoing postoperative orthodontic treatment, so there are only foods I avoid because I’m worried they’ll get stuck in my teeth; chewing itself is no problem now haha
Before surgery, I really hated photos taken by other people, but now I feel like rear-camera photos come out better than selfies, and that’s what I’m most satisfied with.
It also makes me happy that everyone who sees me says my face is so small. And no one can tell I had surgery until I say it first. I don’t have the typical double-jaw surgery old-lady mouth or nose widening, so I just find it amazing. I guess that means the director’s skill is that good haha
It feels like things are settling more as time goes by!! If orthodontics doesn’t work for you like me, or if your temporomandibular joint is not good, consider surgery like I did!!
