I had been so stressed about the shape of my mouth for a long time. When I smiled or took photos, my mouth always came out awkwardly, so I had no confidence, and it felt like my face somehow didn’t have a balanced center. It turned out I had a protruding mouth, apparently,,! At first I thought about orthodontic treatment too, but it seemed like it would take too long, and I wanted a definite change, so I decided on two-jaw surgery rather than braces! I had consultations at several hospitals, but the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic felt the most trustworthy. The director explained things well, and it just felt like, this is the place!!! so I even decided to book the surgery the same dayㅋㅋㅋ! On days 1-3 after surgery, I was less swollen than I expected, so I thought, huh? This is doable? But as the days passed, the swelling and bruising started coming upㅠㅠ My mouth wouldn’t close, and even sleeping was so uncomfortable.. My face was really swollen, like a dog stung by a beeㅠ Still, even through the swelling, I could see that my mouth had moved inward, so I was very satisfied with thatㅎㅎㅎ Days 4-7 were a slightly exhausting period. Sleeping was uncomfortable, and eating was hard because I could only have things like New Care or MyMeal, but still, every time I looked in the mirror and saw that the shape of my mouth had changed, it gave me strength>< I was already excited thinking about taking photos with my friendsㅋㅋㅋ Around week 2, a lot of the swelling went down, and whenever people around me said, “Oh? I can see your mouth moved inward,” I felt proud for no reasonㅋㅋㅋ After the stitches were removed, opening my mouth gradually became easier too!! By weeks 3-4, my smile became more and more natural, and my mouth, which used to fit two fingers, could now almost fit threeㅋㅋㅎㅎ I only had to wear the wafer when sleeping, so life really became bearable. My pronunciation slowly came back, and as the facial swelling went down, it felt like my own face was gradually showing again!!! At months 2-3, almost all the swelling was gone, and now people tell me I’ve really gotten a lot prettierㅠㅠ My complex about my mouth shape is gone, and I don’t get stressed like before when I look in the mirrorㅎㅎ I can now eat almost everything except hard foods, so I was so happy!!! By months 4-6, my face was definitely slimmer and had more dimension, and almost all sensation had returned! Friends I met after a long time said they didn’t know what had changed, but that I somehow looked very refined, which made me proud. Now my habit of looking at my mouth first has disappeared, and I’ve really gained confidence!!!! If you were worried about a protruding mouth like me, I really want to recommend two-jaw surgery at an oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic!!! Honestly, it would be a lie to say the recovery process wasn’t hard, but when I look at myself now, I really think I should have done it soonerㅎㅎ!! The oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic is the best.
