Hehehe, this is my 6-month review after receiving double-jaw surgery + 3 types of facial contouring (cheekbones, square jaw, chin) from Director Lee Seok-jae at Y Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery~! Genetically, I had malocclusion where my lower teeth protruded forward, so every time I went to an orthodontic consultation at a dental clinic, every single place told me I needed surgical orthodontic treatment,, Honestly, from other people’s perspective, it wasn’t that severe unless they looked at my face carefully, and if I put a little tension in my lower jaw when going around, it wasn’t to the point where my underbite was extremely obvious..?! But first of all, my square jaw was very developed, and when someone took photos of me without me realizing it, the underbite definitely showed.. And above all, functionally, when I went “ee~,” the middle area between my upper and lower teeth floated open, so I couldn’t cut noodles with my front teeth or bite into food.. Because of that, I didn’t chew food finely, so poor digestion and getting indigestion were very much part of everyday life..
But since double-jaw surgery is a major surgery, I had been thinking about it since I was 20, but because of the cost and fear, I couldn’t readily go through with surgery and spent 8 years just agonizing over it. Then I searched around orthodontic cafes, came all the way up from the provinces to Seoul, and had a consultation at Y Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. What I liked most was that there is one director and that they do one surgery per day. The director also had a lot of surgical experience, did not over-treat, and spoke realistically, so I trusted him and decided on Y Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery right away.
Now that 6 months have passed, I think I’ve completely adjusted to my face, so I’m much less bothered by swelling! I suddenly got curious and looked back at my 3-month review, and even within those 3 months, it’s very obvious how much swelling went down...!!! That’s how much the natural look has settled in, and people around me keep saying that the line beside my jaw is getting prettier and prettier My satisfaction is increasing more as time goes by!! Now I’m focusing more on orthodontic treatment than the double-jaw surgery, and the director also said only my jaw muscles need to loosen up a little more, so I’m just doing warm compresses again As for sensation, it has come back a lot compared to before, but I think the gum area is still left. Still, it doesn’t really interfere with daily life or make me live while worrying about it,, so I guess it’ll come back at some point with timeㅎㅅㅎ First of all, I’m most satisfied because my lower face, which was my complex, changed, and I returned to my daily life faster than expected, so it wasn’t something I needed to worry about as much as I did before surgery!
