Hello! This is a review from a man in his 20s, now already 9 months after receiving double-jaw and facial contouring surgery from Director Shin Hee-jin at EU Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery! After completing my service as an industrial technical personnel member, I made up my mind that I would definitely get double-jaw surgery. My lower jaw protruded severely, which was a big burden appearance-wise, and I also had difficulty chewing food, so even my digestion was poor. So I decided to go through with it, thinking, if not with a jaw like this, then who would get surgery? Fortunately, thanks to the money I had saved during my alternative military service, I was able to reduce the financial burden too! At first, I simply looked into plastic surgery clinics, but after doing a lot of searches and reading reviews, I learned that double-jaw surgery is not only about improving appearance, but also has to address occlusion and masticatory function. So if I was going to make such a big decision anyway, I thought it would be right to have the surgery at an oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic where expertise and safety were assured, so I chose EU Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. (In the end, it was the best choice I made haha) At the 1-month mark, in the beginning I felt impatient because the swelling did not go down easily, but just seeing a normal jawline in my side profile in the mirror gave me a huge sense of satisfaction! The bloody pus and pain had completely disappeared too, and it was only a slight pulling sensation in the muscles, so even though it was a major surgery, I was amazed that recovery could be this fast! After two months, the facial swelling went down even more, and my appearance looked much more natural. Every time I looked in the mirror, I was so satisfied that I thought, even though this was a major surgery, it can look this natural without being obvious. Tough foods were still difficult, but my diet became more varied and my weight had recovered stably too! By the 3-month mark, most of the swelling had gone down, and it became so natural, as if this had always been my original face, without any discomfort. As everyone knows, double-jaw surgery is such a major surgery that I was worried recovery would take a long time, but I was able to return to daily life much faster than expected, so I was grateful to Director Shin Hee-jin for performing the surgery safely without side effects! And at the 4-month mark, I had completely returned to everyday life. I heard a lot that my jawline had become much cleaner than before and that I photographed well haha.. I still had cheek fat because I had not been exercising hard, but that part is a weight issue, so I can lose weight, and honestly, even if I do not lose weight, compared with how I looked before surgery, my satisfaction is 100 times greater haha From around 5 months onward, almost all discomfort disappeared, and once I could eat foods I had not been able to eat before, my quality of life definitely changed! hahaha I realized that being able to eat food comfortably after double-jaw surgery is truly happiness hahaha And as the pulling and discomfort at the surgical sites disappeared, my satisfaction grew day by day! From the 6-month point, it really became so completely integrated into my daily life that I sometimes genuinely forgot I had even had double-jaw surgery! I have been living healthily while eating all the foods I could not eat before as much as I want, and people around me have told me a lot that my face looks much softer and more harmonious, and that I became more handsome, so I felt embarrassed but happy. At 7 months, my facial shape had settled so naturally haha Now I feel like this face is my own face, so I used to take comparison photos with my pre-surgery photos and look at them side by side, but it has become so truly mine that I even forget to do that. I strongly felt that the surgical result is that stable, and that it becomes even more natural as time passes!! At the 8-month mark, I thought all the swelling had completely gone down!! But it was so fascinating that it was still going down little by little haha As sensation at the surgical sites inside my mouth also returned, even the functional recovery entered its final stage. And finally, now!! After passing 9 months, it really feels like time has gone by quickly. The results of double-jaw surgery have naturally blended into my life, and every time I look in the mirror, I feel satisfied. I am already fully satisfied just looking at the changes so far, but when I think it will get even better from here, I feel so excited and happy. In my opinion, double-jaw surgery is not simply a cosmetic surgery that changes one’s appearance. Correcting a protruding mandible, improving lower-jaw protrusion, restoring occlusal function, improving masticatory function, and restoring facial balance were all achieved at the same time, so it was truly the most satisfying choice in my life. The biggest advantage is that as time passes, it settles more and more naturally and there is no sign of having had surgery at all. I would like to thank Director Shin Hee-jin at EU Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for safely being with me through this whole process, and I will wrap up my 9-month review here! :)
