About 3 or 4 years ago? When I was extremely preoccupied with my appearance, I didn’t have money, but I felt so frustrated that I decided to at least get a consultation, so I visited a dental clinic that was running an event offering free consultations (things like X-rays were also free). Maybe just having the word “dental clinic” attached at the end, rather than just “plastic surgery clinic,” made it feel somehow safer. Also, the main before-and-after model’s result looked really good..
Anyway, now it seems there are two operating surgeons, but when I went, there was one original(?) surgeon. I asked the things I was moderately curious about, and I was told that because my upper jaw was also crooked, lower jaw surgery alone wouldn’t work, and that my upper jaw was protruding, so my lower jaw only looked relatively less protruded. (Until then, I didn’t know my maxilla was crooked and protruding ㅠㅠ After seeing the X-ray and hearing the explanation, I could definitely feel it. I look in the mirror every day, but I had mostly only looked at my lower jaw..) And financially, I remember there was also a plan that allowed very long installment payments through a partnership with some bank, and honestly, I wanted to schedule the surgery right then and have it done at the time....ㅠㅠ These days, as I feel my skin sagging noticeably, I’m thinking about it even more. I feel like even if I get it now, there will still be sagging.. I saw new before-and-after photos from that dental hospital, and seeing someone who looked like me completely transformed has me feeling envious ㅠㅠ If I get just a little more financial leeway, I want to get it before it’s even later and feel satisfied both functionally and aesthetically ㅠ Whenever a side-profile photo of me is taken, it makes me feel so bad ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Anyone with a protruding lower jaw and malocclusion would know.. Anyway, I’ll look around a bit more.. and I just want to have enough leeway soon so I can get it done!
