I had double jaw surgery and facial contouring surgery with Director Kim Jong-yoon at an oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic around the end of October 2024, and now I have already entered my 9th month post-op!! To explain why I had the surgery, I had never liked the shape of my mouth for a long time. Especially after I realized I had protruding mouth, I was so, so stressed every time I took photos and heard that my mouth looked awkward.. Orthodontic treatment seemed like it would take a long time, so I eventually chose surgery. The biggest reason was not simply appearance, but that I wanted to correct my pronunciation and occlusion issues too! When choosing a hospital, like everyone else, I received consultations at several places, but I thought that if I wanted to improve the shape of my mouth and address functional aspects at the same time, an oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic would be more appropriate than a plastic surgery clinic. Among them, this oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic felt professional and trustworthy from the consultation process:) Since they had extensive experience and a systematic examination system, I booked the surgery that same day without hesitation, and I felt certain that I could trust myself to them!! At 1 month after surgery, the screws were removed and I only had to wear the wafer when sleeping. My jaw and cheeks felt tingling, but I was able to feel reassured because they said it was the process of the nerves returning! My pronunciation was also gradually becoming more natural, and I was excited because I felt that once the swelling went down, I would be able to put on makeup and go out~~ At 2 months, there was still swelling, but I could eat well as long as it was not hard food, and my mouth opened wide enough for three fingers to fit, so I was practicing consistently. During this period, I was already so satisfied that I often thought, why didn’t I have the surgery sooner? haha At 3 months, there was still swelling, but I was happy because people around me often said that my whole impression had changed so much now that my mouth had gone in I also no longer had to wear the wafer, and opening my mouth became much easier!! At 4 months, a lot of the swelling had gone down, so my face became slimmer and more three-dimensional. Smiling still felt awkward and sensation had not completely returned, but there was no discomfort at all in daily life, and I could eat hard food without any problem!! At 5 months, whenever I looked in the mirror, in the past my mouth was the first thing I noticed, but now I was satisfied, so I felt good every time I smiled!!! My friends also complimented me a lot, saying that as the swelling went down, my face shape became so slim and that the surgery went really well At 6 months, almost all of the swelling had gone down, and people I met after a long time said I had become prettier, even though they could not quite tell what had changed!!! I was most satisfied that my face looked naturally three-dimensional At 7 months, the swelling had gone down even more, so people around me often said it looked like I had lost weight. Every time I took photos, I liked how three-dimensional my side profile looked, and I liked the double jaw surgery I had at this oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic so much that I can confidently say it was the best choice of my life!! At 8 months, my facial asymmetry had also reduced a lot, and the stress I felt when taking photos disappeared. The scars inside my mouth also became natural, and the feeling of muscle tightness almost disappeared. By 9 months, people around me often told me my face had become smaller, and as my complex about my side profile completely disappeared, I gained confidence! Now I have even started thinking about pin removal, and because it was such a satisfying surgery, I can confidently recommend this oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic to people around me!!! Because of protruding mouth, I had a hard time with photos, pronunciation, occlusion, and confidence in every way, but now everything has completely changed. It is not simply that my appearance changed, but I can say that my quality of life has improved. If you are considering double jaw surgery and facial contouring surgery, visit this oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic right away and at least get a consultation!! And if you go as far as having the surgery, later you will probably think, like me, why didn’t I do it sooner? haha Director Kim, thank you so, so much!!!!
