<After><After><Before><Before>I am 3 months post-op after having surgery with Director Shin Hee-jin at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery!!! haha Hello!! Ever since I was young, I had severe malocclusion and was teased a lot because of my protruding lower jaw..!! In high school, I worked up the courage to get orthodontic treatment, but the dental clinic told me that if I wanted to resolve it completely, double-jaw surgery was the only option Back then, double-jaw surgery was too scary and financially burdensome, so I just did orthodontics for the time being, but even after it ended, my lower face was still long and my chin still protruded, so I was very stressed. Whenever I took photos, I always covered my jaw in side-profile shots, and even if I skipped my retainer for just one day, I felt obsessively anxious! In the end, I went around to plastic surgery consultations thinking of at least trying chin-tip reduction, but most places said that with malocclusion, the only fundamental solution was double-jaw surgery Also, they said the younger you are when you get double-jaw surgery, the faster the recovery and the better the result, so I decided not to postpone it any longer!! I went to a lot of hospital consultations, and EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Director Shin Hee-jin felt the most trustworthy@@ haha She explained the surgical method one by one in detail, and rather than pushing excessively, she pointed out only the parts that were truly necessary for my current condition!! She also gave me confidence that if I did it, it would really turn out well, so I had very high expectations haha The consultants were also very kind, and since there is collaborative treatment with dentistry in the basement of the same building, I chose it because I thought orthodontic treatment alongside surgery and aftercare would be systematic! When I looked up reviews of EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, many said the director’s style is not excessive and makes you naturally prettier, and that matched the image I wanted perfectly!!! For a major surgery like double-jaw surgery, I thought it should be performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist rather than a plastic surgery clinic, so I ultimately chose “EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery”!!!! [1-Month Review] Compared to week 3, it was not dramatic, but I could see it gradually becoming more natural!. With makeup, the bruising covered well, and even when I took off my mask, it did not look awkward!!! I still could not chew, so that was the hardest part, and the sensation in my left jaw had not fully returned and the inside of my mouth felt stiff, but… the nosebleeds and bloody sputum that had continued until last week completely stopped from week 4!!! ________________________________________ [2-Month Review] There was still slight swelling in the front cheek and double-chin area, and the philtrum was still a little swollen, but compared to the beginning, it definitely went down haha From week 5, I started chewing soft foods, and around week 8, except for chewy or hard foods, I could eat most things haha The sensation in my left jaw, which was absent at 1 month, had almost all returned, and there was no pain at all!! People around me told me so many times that my face got so small and that I got prettier, and especially when taking side-profile photos, I became confident, so I was very happy!!! ________________________________________ [3-Month Review] The 3-month mark I had been waiting for arrived!! Now, except for a little swelling around the philtrum, I think almost all the swelling is gone. I can chew everything except hard foods, and there is not even 1 inconvenience or side effect!! I was worried about the part of my lip where sensation had not fully returned, but now I can feel it gradually coming back, so I am so relieved!! I have much more confidence when taking photos, and I never knew taking side-profile photos could feel this good. These days, I feel like my life has really changed, and I am once again grateful to Director Shin Hee-jin haha Honestly, like other people, I was really scared of double-jaw surgery and I get frightened easily, but in the end, I think it was a life-changing surgery! The length of my lower face, protruding lower jaw, and malocclusion were all resolved at once, and since my facial proportions became balanced, I naturally became prettier, so I am very happy!! It is not only cosmetic, but functionally, chewing has become more comfortable, and because my occlusion is aligned, there is less strain on my jaw!!! Most of all, my side-profile complex is gone and I am happy every time I take photos. If you are considering double-jaw surgery or facial contouring, please make sure to consult a true specialist like I did! EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is the best!!
