I had square jaw and chin T-osteotomy surgery about 10 days ago.
I really had no pain at all, and now all that remains is just a slight tingling feeling? when I touch the chin area. As for the square jaw area below my ears, honestly, I feel like it would not hurt at all even if someone punched it.
The swelling is all gone too. It does not look like any swelling remains. There may still be minor swelling, but... if I go out now, except for my mouth looking a bit unnatural because of the intraoral incision wounds, no one can tell I had surgery. I have not heard anyone say I gained weight or lost weight either.
The problem is that there really is no effect at all. Objectively speaking, it is not like I had nothing to shave down, either. Everyone around me acknowledged I had a square jaw, about 0.8 Park Kyung-lim level, and my lower face is very wide and square, so it is the kind of face shape where it should be impossible to have no effect.
But the wide jaw area and square jaw are still exactly the same. I wondered if it was swelling, so I pressed on it, but it is extremely hard. It is just bone. Bone.
Even when I tell the clinic, they say it is swelling. But no matter how I look at it, there is no swelling left that could go down... I can confidently say the major swelling is 100% gone.
Anyway, my point is: for those who had square jaw surgery, after 10 days, or once only the major swelling went down a bit, did you feel a lot that your face shape had changed?
I am still exactly 0.8 Park Kyung-lim... Even when I take photos and compare them, if I ask 10 people, all 10 answer, "Isn't it the same?"
I am stressed. Did they really just make an intraoral incision and stitch it back up? Did a shadow doctor come in but get scared, cut off 1 millimeter, and close it up? Sigh...
