It has already been 5 months since my two-jaw surgery. Recovery speed can vary by person, but after 3 months, I definitely felt that I had recovered to the point where there was almost no inconvenience in daily life. In the beginning, there was still a heavy feeling or swelling around the philtrum, under the chin, and below the ears, but as time passed, it gradually went down naturally. Now, even when I look in the mirror, it has settled so well that only I can notice it, and people I meet after a long time say I look so natural that they don't notice at all that I had two-jaw surgery. In terms of sensory recovery, I still intermittently have dull or tingling sensations around the tip of my chin or palate, but it is not enough to interfere with daily life, and it is gradually improving as time passes. I feel for myself that waiting without rushing is the best way. From the 3-month mark, eating became possible with almost no restrictions. I could carefully eat tough foods like meat or tteokbokki, and by months 4 to 5, I have really been able to eat almost any food without any problems. Since I am in orthodontic treatment, the elastics can be uncomfortable, but I got used to them quickly and had no major difficulty in daily life. Right after two-jaw surgery, my weight dropped slightly and my facial line became more defined, which made me feel more satisfied every time I looked in the mirror. I also became much more confident when taking photos than before, and I often hear from people around me that I have really changed. In terms of activity, from after 3 months, most daily activities such as exercise and travel became possible without strain. Even without receiving separate massage, I could feel the swelling going down naturally, and while seeing myself change day by day, I felt that deciding on two-jaw surgery was truly a good choice. Two-jaw surgery is a process that improves not only appearance but also function. Because I was able to proceed with this process safely and systematically through Director Shin Hee-jin at a maxillofacial surgery clinic, I am truly satisfied with the results now. For those considering two-jaw surgery, I really want to say how important it is to choose good medical staff. Now I am living such a natural daily life that I forget I had two-jaw surgery, and thanks to the recovery process that keeps getting better over time, I look forward to the future even more.
