I had class III malocclusion, and after surgery I brought the lower teeth further forward to account for the dental alignment.
I had the surgery at a contouring-specialty hospital in Busan that was recommended to me by a dentist.
After the surgery, considering the side profile from the tip of the nose to the lower-lip line, I was recommended a chin advancement, so I paid about 200 more and had that done at the same time.
In terms of symmetry and shape after the lower-jaw surgery, I am extremely, extremely satisfied.
But now, more than 2 years later, sensation is fine everywhere else, but the area under my left lip is a bit numb.
Sometimes I only notice it late, like when rice grains are stuck there or a little soup leaks out.
I think it may be because I had chin surgery.
I do sometimes regret whether I really needed the chin advancement...
How projected the chin should be seems to be a very subjective matter, and I think it would have been fine to be even closer to a weak chin.
Since surgery can also make the chin stand out a little as the marionette lines form anyway.
Still, when you have lower-jaw surgery, the double chin becomes more prominent and the airway gets narrower,
and it sounds like chin advancement has advantages in those areas.
I already did it, so I try to think positively, and I massage it whenever I remember,
and I feel like the sensation is gradually coming back, even if slowly.
Anyway, after extraction orthodontics and lower-jaw surgery made my jaw smaller,
my cheekbones stood out too much lol
So I'm thinking about a 15-minute zygoma reduction revision lol
I'm worried it won't unite properly and might move,
and I also need to request leave from work, so I'm wondering whether I should just say I'm getting cosmetic surgery.
I need to rest for about 5 days, speak, and eat carefully,
and I'm also worried it might interfere with the bone healing.
If you research the hospital well and get the right surgery,
I already experienced before that it boosted my confidence in everyday life,
so I think I’ll probably end up getting cheekbone surgery too haha
