Since I was young, my confidence had dropped a lot because of my protruding jaw and facial asymmetry, and especially when taking photos, I was bothered by my side profile and felt very stressed. In the end, I decided to undergo double-jaw surgery and facial contouring surgery! It was not simply for improving my appearance; I strongly wanted to correct my occlusion and restore balance to my face. While looking for an oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic with expertise and safety rather than a general plastic surgery clinic, I found [EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery]! I chose it because I trusted the experienced medical team, thorough examination system, and collaborative system with the orthodontics department!!! ★Double-Jaw Surgery Day 1 ~ Week 3 Recovery Summary★ 1. Days 1~3: There was almost no pain, but I was tired after anesthesia and had a hard time because of nasal packing, nosebleeds, and nasal congestion. I mainly got by with porridge or New Care 2. Days 4~6: I was helping my recovery by walking, but the nasal congestion was severe, so I had a lot of pain from not being able to sleep well at night. The bruising gradually moved downward, and I managed it by applying cream 3. Day 7 (Week 1): The swelling started to go down little by little, and as my nose slowly opened up, breathing became easier, so I think I felt like I could finally live again.. haha 4. Week 2: The facial bruising was almost all gone, and after the stitches were removed, I could walk for an hour at a time. I was also able to sleep comfortably lying down. However, I was still only eating porridge, and thanks to that(?) I lost a lot of weight 5. Week 3: I became able to eat soft foods and even ramen by cutting it into small pieces, and with mouth-opening exercises, I could fit about two fingers in, so I was gradually recovering!! But if you eat salty foods, the swelling can temporarily come back, so everyone, please be careful ★Double-Jaw Surgery 1 Month ~ Current 4-Month Recovery Summary★ At 1 month after surgery, I avoided hard foods like kimchi or meat, but I had recovered enough to eat most foods if I cut them into small pieces. After the screws were removed, my mouth also started opening better and better! At that time, I could only fit about two fingers in, but I was told it would gradually improve, so I had high expectations. The swelling had also gone down a lot, so there was no major discomfort in daily life. By the 2nd month, most of the major swelling had gone down, with only a little residual swelling around the cheekbones, and my mouth opened enough to fit about three fingers, so there was no discomfort at all when speaking or chewing haha. As long as the food was not too hard, I could eat almost anything, which made me feel even more satisfied! More than anything, as my facial line became more refined, I gained confidence when taking photos too!!!! In the 3rd month, it’s embarrassing, but,,, I started hearing a lot from people around me that I had become prettier!! People meeting me for the first time or people who did not know me could not even tell that I had surgery, it had become that natural!! There was still a little residual swelling and stiffness around the cheekbones, but it was gradually improving, and I could do intense exercise like working out at the gym without difficulty, so I could clearly feel that I had returned to everyday life. I felt certain that getting double-jaw surgery was really the right decision haha. And now I’m already in my 4th month. Time really feels like it has flown by; before I knew it, I had recovered a lot, and the pain I used to feel when touching my cheeks has almost disappeared. Now I have no discomfort at all in daily life, and people around me often say that my face shape has changed naturally and elegantly, so I feel even more certain that deciding to have the surgery was truly a good choice! Through my own experience, I learned that double-jaw surgery is not simply a surgery that changes your appearance, but one that restores occlusion, corrects facial balance, and improves overall quality of life!! If there are people struggling with a protruding jaw or facial asymmetry, I hope you, like me, receive enough consultation with a specialized oral and maxillofacial surgery medical team and undergo surgery safely!! My surgery was performed by ★Director Shin Hee-jin of EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery★!!!
