Before and after Ever since puberty, I had a really severe complex about my underbite and asymmetry, so I hated the idea of anyone looking at my side profile. I always tried to keep my cheeks puffed out to avoid showing my side line too clearly. As the baby fat gradually went away, my asymmetry and cheekbones started to stand out more, and my underbite became more obvious too. I didn’t like the image of looking more mature than my age, and I also disliked how strong my facial impression looked, so I decided to go ahead with double-jaw surgery and contour surgery. Before the double-jaw contour surgery, I visited 3-4 clinics for consultations, and Dr. Kim Jong-yoon’s experience felt the most trustworthy. I also remember seeing many people already waiting who had either had double-jaw surgery or contour surgery, which made me trust it even more haha I thought, “There must be a lot of people because the oral structure is special!”~~!
For the first week after the double-jaw contour surgery, time didn’t seem to pass, and it felt like a battle with swelling and hunger! Also, during my one-week follow-up for the double-jaw surgery, I went to the outpatient visit. I thought having the stitches removed from the cheekbone area would hurt, but it really didn’t hurt at all, and when I had the inside of my mouth disinfected, it only hurt a little, so it felt pretty manageable! I could also feel the swelling going down quickly, and although I didn’t go for long walks, when I went out for short 20-minute walks, it was clearly helping the swelling go down, which was fun!! During the second week after the double-jaw contour surgery, I was able to eat mostly noodle dishes easily, and with the mindset of “swelling, go down quickly~,” I walked really, really diligently
It’s already been 1 month since my double-jaw contour surgery, and since I’ve kept up with the mouth-opening exercises, I think I can now fit 2 fingers? maybe 2 and a half? The major swelling seems to be going down, but I think I need to wait a bit more for the philtrum area It seems like everyone’s philtrum swelling goes down the slowest haha I met up with friends too, and they said my double-jaw contour surgery turned out so well they loved it! I’m happy too,,,, Now I’m just waiting for the day I can remove the wafer..!
