Before<before>before<before>after<after>after<after>I received treatment from Director Shin Hee-jin at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery.
Because of my protruding jaw and malocclusion, it was difficult to eat, and I had no confidence in my appearance. As I gained weight, my protruding jaw at least stood out less, and I was rarely in situations where my mouth was wide open or my teeth were clenched. Then, after much thought, I decided to have double-jaw surgery last February. What worried me most was the fear of not waking up after surgery and possible side effects. After the surgery, unlike the heavy burden I had expected from such a major operation as double-jaw surgery, I was really okay. For about a month, eating and breathing were difficult, but after that it was bearable, and I had no pain at all. I truly think I made the right decision to have the surgery. I placed meaning on it as treatment, not for cosmetic purposes, but as a bonus, it felt like I had found my real face, and my confidence increased a lot. Now, one year later, it feels like this was my original face, and I am doing well without any side effects. As my confidence recovered, my quality of life also improved a lot. Most of all, I’m so happy that I lost weight and my face became prettier. I think double-jaw surgery is a procedure that helps people like me, who feel discomfort, find their original face again.
