I had been thinking about surgery since my early 20s, but at the time, the cost burden and fear were too great, so I kept putting it off. Then a year ago, a friend casually said they had undergone square jaw surgery, and that became the trigger for me to gather courage. After looking into EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, which my friend recommended, I trusted it more than other plastic surgery clinics and decided right away. Since I had already been doing presurgical orthodontic treatment for over a year, I did not feel very afraid even on the day of surgery, and right after surgery I was comfortable without pain or discomfort. However, it was a bit hard that I could not sleep for the first 4 hours in the hospital room, and because my throat was swollen, even swallowing water was difficult. I also learned then that a donut cushion was absolutely necessary. For the following week, there was swelling and discomfort, but I gradually adapted, and I became increasingly able to consume liquid meals such as water or New Care. I consistently managed swelling with cold compresses and light walks, and nasal congestion and difficulty opening my mouth also gradually improved. In week 2, after the stitches were removed, I could take out the wafer for short periods, so my quality of life improved greatly. From week 3, I could feel the facial swelling moving downward and going down, and I heard many people say I had become prettier. At 1 month, the amount of time wearing the wafer decreased, and although it was a period when my face became uneven, it gradually looked more natural. At 2 months, I heard that my facial impression had become softer, and I felt very satisfied with the change in my appearance. After 3 months, my facial line became clean, and morning swelling decreased. I also gained confidence when smiling or talking. Even though I had not told the director exactly what face shape I wanted, he created a result I was extremely satisfied with. From month 4, the discomfort disappeared to the point that I forgot I had surgery, and people around me said it looked increasingly natural. At months 5–6, I often heard that I looked younger, and I was surprised that I could chew food much better than before. As my jawline became more defined, external activities such as wearing hats or makeup also felt more enjoyable. At month 7, there was not much external change, but some sensation under my chin had not fully returned. My orthodontic treatment was also almost finished. At months 8–9, my jawline became prettier and my confidence increased, and I also looked forward to how I would look after orthodontic treatment. Finally, at month 10, my braces were soon going to be changed to a removable type, and most of all, my occlusion improved, so food chewed well and digestion improved. That made me truly feel the real effect of the surgery. Dr. Kim Jong-yoon at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is the bestㅎㅎ
