Post-op / pre-op At first, one month felt like it would never pass, but already 12 months have gone by since double jaw surgery + 3 types of facial contouring! There are almost no foods I can’t eat, and I have no discomfort at all, to the point that I forget I even had double jaw surgery haha On the day I had double jaw surgery, I really wanted to eat crunchy cubed radish kimchi, a thick-patty hamburger that you have to open your mouth wide for, chewy gopchang, things like that lol. Now I eat so well... Since I’m doing orthodontic treatment with Invisalign, they said as many as 4 attachments on my teeth have come off.. When I was only drinking New Care, I couldn’t eat anything and even taking medicine was really hard, but still, I lost a lot of weight, so I kind of liked that haha. Now I’m gradually gaining weight, to the point that I wonder if I should go back to drinking only New Care haha
And to explain for those who clicked because they were curious after seeing the title: I do think becoming prettier is important, but I considered safety and experience the most important, and I looked for a surgeon who had the same mindset. Of course, since I work at a university hospital, I know well that university hospitals have safe systems, but since they are not places that only do double jaw surgery, I felt they were quite lacking in terms of experience. Y Oral had everything I considered important, and the director also seemed neat and meticulous in personality. A resident anesthesiologist, CCTV, one surgery per day, emphasis on safety, and so on. And they said he opened the clinic after coming out from another hospital together with his surgical team, and that they are still working together. When I went for the consultation, the moment I walked in, I thought, “Ah, I’m going to have surgery here” lol. A woman’s intuition~
Now, one year after double jaw surgery, I’ve gotten used to my current face, so I can’t really remember my old face anymore, but when I look at photos my friends took, my recessed mouth and jaw still feel fascinating lol Before surgery, my chin protruded and made my face look long, so I didn’t hear many comments that I looked young, but now my face is shorter and smaller, my square jaw is slimmer too, and I often hear that I look younger! lol And when I took photos, I always edited them no matter what to reduce my jaw and cheekbones, but now even when I take photos with friends, I coolly say, “I’m not editing mine!” hahahaha Most of all, I no longer have to cover my face with my hair, so I can tie my hair up, wear hats, and try hairstyles I want to try. I think that’s the best part! If it’s not simply for cosmetic purposes, but because your jaw really bothers you and causes a lot of stress, I think it’s also good to carefully find a safe, good hospital and gather the courage to try.
