I just used a casual tone!
Good points Maybe because I only had the lower jaw done (the doctor said that if I only did the lower jaw, the change in appearance wouldn’t be big. My jaw originally wasn’t extremely protruded or anything.) If I don’t tell acquaintances, they don’t even know I had cosmetic surgery. It changed naturally.
Side effects My pronunciation doesn’t come out wellㅜ Especially my English pronunciation used to be pretty good, but after the surgery, maybe because the space inside my mouth got narrower and my oral structure changed, my pronunciation became bad... I don’t know why, but it feels like my tongue got shorter... This stresses me out the mostㅠㅠ
I got fat under my chin. Maybe the protruding jaw had been hiding the fat... I originally didn’t have much facial fat or submental fat, but after surgery I got a lot of fat under my chin. I lost 5 kg after surgery, and even after losing weight, acquaintances didn’t notice at all that I had lost weight (before, they noticed even if I lost just 2 or 3 kg). In the past, when I was the same weight, I had no submental fat and looked sharp, but now maybe because my chin got shorter, I have a double chin. Personally, I also feel like I look heavier. I think I’ll know whether the skin is sagging or not only after I lose more weight.
The operated area inside my mouth feels foreign. Especially when I clench my teeth, it feels even stranger, like the muscle around that scar area is moving...? Anyway, that’s how it is.
My lips became less pretty. My lower lip used to be on the plump side, but after lower jaw surgery it got thinner. I expect it will get even thinner once I remove my braces. From the side, I like it even less. It looks like the volume in my lower lip disappeared. My upper lip protrudes more...ㅜㅜ Until before, I wasn’t interested in lip filler at all, but these days I’m looking it up a bit... Along with the worsened pronunciation, this is tied for first place as what makes me the angriest. Aaagh!!!!!!!! Aaagh!!! Aak!!
If I don’t put in effort, my jaw moves forward. Especially when sleeping. It doesn’t move forward a lot, but still, it’s a bit like that.
Regrets (?) My upper jaw is a bit shaped like \ so the doctor also recommended upper jaw surgery. But if I did upper jaw surgery and the shape changed to | like this, I thought my philtrum would look longer, so I didn’t do it. I was afraid my midface would look longㅜㅜ I didn’t do the upper jaw... but there are times when I regret it a little.
