Since I was young, my protruding jaw had been a complex for me, and I felt stressed every time my side profile was seen or I had photos taken. It wasn’t extremely noticeable, but it was always on my mind, and in the end I made up my mind to have double-jaw surgery and facial contouring surgery together. I had the surgery done at EU Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, which I first came across through YouTube, and the before & after photos on their website were so clear that I trusted them and chose them~ As for the recovery progress, The first few days after surgery were a bit difficult because of nasal congestion, swelling, and a liquid diet, but I gradually got better by consistently doing cold compresses + light walks. Especially after week 1, I got into a recovery routine as the elastic fixation, stitch removal, and orthodontic treatment started. From months 2~3, the changes in swelling became visible. Even if I was slightly swollen in the morning, I could feel that a lot of it had gone down by the afternoon, and especially once I got used to the braces, speaking and eating became much more comfortable! Most of all, from month 3, I started to feel like I was living a daily life similar to before surgery. From month 4, the joy of eating came back too haha I was gradually able to return from mostly soft foods to a more varied diet, and my weight also gradually recovered. As I started exercising again, my condition improved a lot too:) I felt full of energy day by day while doing everything from light cardio to strength training. From months 6~9, my face had completely settled, and now even when I look in the mirror or take photos, it looks so natural and not awkward at all. People around me often say that it now looks completely like my own face and that it looks so natural that you can’t tell I had surgery. I really gained a lot of confidence too! I have no discomfort at all when eating, and I have completely adapted to the braces, so there is nothing that bothers me much in daily life. I am still exercising consistently now, and my condition is even better than before surgery. Before the surgery, I had a lot of worries and anxiety, but looking back, I think it was definitely the right choice. Now I’m already at month 11 before I knew it.,!! At present, I have achieved results that are natural and functionally satisfying, and I want to keep managing things steadily so I can maintain my current appearance. I hope this can be of even a little help to those who, like me, are concerned about a protruding jaw, facial appearance stress, or double-jaw/facial contouring surgery, and I recommend Director Kim Jong-yoon at EU Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery :)
