It’s already been 6 months since I had double-jaw surgery and facial contouring surgery (cheekbones + square jaw + chin tip) with Director Kim Jong-yoon at EU Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery! Before surgery, my lower face was such a big complex that I covered my chin every time I took photos, and I was bothered by my side profile too, but now that stress has almost disappeared. Honestly, I keep thinking what would I have done if I hadn’t had this surgery haha At 1 month, both cheeks inside my mouth stayed swollen, so it was uncomfortable when brushing my teeth, but looking at the photos, I definitely felt that a lot of the swelling had gone down. The inside of my mouth was still a bit swollen, but I had high hopes that it would go down more. From 2 months, people around me started saying it seemed like almost all the swelling had gone down and that my face had gotten really small. The happiest thing was that I no longer needed to cover my chin when looking in the mirror. The hospital also said it would keep going down until the 6-month mark, so I stayed excited. At 3 months, my side profile and jawline settled naturally, and the areas that used to stand out before surgery disappeared. It was fascinating to see my dental occlusion gradually aligning while undergoing orthodontic treatment, and most of the discomfort after surgery had gone away. Not only outwardly, but psychologically too, I felt really at ease. At 4~5 months, people who didn’t know me at all said it looked so natural they wouldn’t know I’d had surgery, and friends I met after a long time said something looked better but they couldn’t tell what had changed. The swelling hadn’t completely gone down, but it was getting a little better as time passed. And finally, 6 months. People around me now say my lips have become natural too, and when I look in the mirror, I feel like it has settled so naturally that I wonder, is there even anywhere left for swelling to go down? so I’m happy. Sometimes when I look at photos from before surgery, the change is so big that I wonder if that was really me. Once the lower face was refined, my face really looked different. I do get wounds inside my mouth because of the orthodontic treatment, but compared with how hard it was right after surgery, it’s nothing. For people considering double-jaw surgery, especially men + people with a severe lower-face complex, I sincerely recommend it! It goes beyond simply changing your face; your psychological ease and confidence really change completely!! If you’re looking up this post right now, it definitely means it’s bothering you, so don’t drag it out for no reason and quickly go get a consultation first. Before surgery, I also searched through reviews every day, but now I feel that time was a waste haha EU Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is the best!
