This is my 7-month postoperative review after having surgery with Director Kim at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery! At first, I had never thought about double-jaw surgery or facial contouring surgery at all, but my jaw kept feeling uncomfortable and painful, so I ended up going to the hospital. During the consultation, I found out that I had severe facial asymmetry, and after hearing the explanation that orthodontic treatment alone would be difficult to resolve it, I eventually decided to have double-jaw surgery and facial contouring surgery. The reason I chose EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery was that someone I know had double-jaw surgery there and I heard that their result turned out really well. When I went for a consultation myself, the explanation about the surgery was systematic, and they made a plan suited to my face based on CT scans and simulations, so I really trusted them. At first, I was scared and worried a lot, but after consulting with the director, I felt much more at ease, and I ultimately decided on this hospital!!! At 1 month after double-jaw surgery, the swelling on the right side of my face had gone down more, and I could see my facial contour line gradually taking shape. The lines around my cheekbones and jawline were also becoming clearer. I still had a little bruising left, but it was barely noticeable with makeup, so it did not interfere much with daily life! At 2 months, it was still a little uncomfortable to eat tough foods like meat, but I remember the overall swelling had gone down a lot!! Haha. My temporomandibular joint movement was also gradually becoming more natural, and I felt like sensation was slowly coming back. Especially when taking photos, my impression looked much softer, so my satisfaction was high. From around this time, the reactions from people around me definitely became better too. At 3 months, the bruising had almost completely disappeared, and the remaining swelling had also settled a lot. In the past, it was hard to close my mouth, but now my lip shape looks natural, and I have almost no discomfort when speaking. Thanks to the effect of the facial contouring surgery, my jawline became smoothly refined, and I often hear that my impression looks much cleaner. Taking photos has become much more enjoyable than before. At 4 months, I had almost no foreign sensation when making facial expressions, and the tissues under my skin had softened a lot. I could smile naturally instead of forcing a smile, so I felt good about it myself too. By this point, it felt like almost all the areas that had been uncomfortable before surgery were resolved. For people who had functional issues like me, I think you would definitely feel a major improvement! At 5 months, you could say the swelling was almost gone, and my face shape seemed to be settling naturally! The bone lines were refined without looking prominent, so my overall impression was softer. I could eat most foods well, and jaw exercises were no problem. Before surgery, my face looked tilted to one side because of the asymmetry, but now the center is aligned, and the symmetry has improved much more!!!! And now that half a year has passed, at 6 months, I can eat without any discomfort at all, and daily life is not difficult. I had many worries because I had double-jaw surgery and facial contouring surgery at the same time, but now, thanks to the truly satisfying result, I feel that I made the right decision to have surgery. The overall balance of my face has improved, so I feel good every time I look in the mirror. When I think that malocclusion, asymmetry, and appearance-related stress were all resolved at once, it is truly a major change!!! There is a reason people I know chose EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery! Director Kim is the best!
