Hello:) I am a male patient, and it has already been over 7 months since I had surgery with Director Kim Jong-yoon at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery! Since middle school, as I grew taller, my jaw grew too, and it caused me a lot of stress. By the time I entered high school, I was teased a lot because of my already overgrown jaw, and I felt sad and exhausted, wondering why I had to be treated this way when I did not choose for my jaw to grow like this But I felt I could not keep living like this, so I decided to make a change and eventually chose to undergo double-jaw surgery. It was the first step toward changing myself!! After becoming an adult, I reached an age when I could have surgery, but at first I lacked information and also needed time to prepare the cost. These days, with SNS so developed, it is easy to get information, but because this is a once-in-a-lifetime surgery, I wanted it done accurately and safely. At first I only thought about plastic surgery clinics, but people around me told me that double-jaw surgery should be done by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, so I searched several clinics in Gangnam and looked up a truly huge amount of information. While I was in the military, I happened to see a video by Director Shin Hee-jin on YouTube, and it was not just a simple advertisement but a convincing explanation, so I began to trust it. In particular, when I showed it to my mother, who had been against the surgery, she gradually opened her mind, and the many reviews and information on the website helped me firmly settle my wavering thoughts even more! During my final leave from the military, I visited the clinic because I wanted an in-person consultation, and after the consultation, I felt certain and decided to have surgery at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery:) As a result, I was able to successfully complete double-jaw and facial contouring surgery! To start with my current status, it has been 7 months since surgery, and now I am living so naturally that I even forget I had double-jaw and facial contouring surgery! Sensation in my upper jaw and upper lip has almost completely returned, and my lower jaw has recovered about 60%!!! Before surgery, my pronunciation was a little unclear, but after my jaw was corrected, at first my pronunciation actually felt even more awkward. So these days I consciously talk a lot and keep practicing pronunciation, and it is gradually becoming more natural. Especially these days, people around me often tell me my face has become so small and that the line is really pretty haha And because it looks natural enough that I do not even have to say I had surgery, I often just smile with satisfaction while feeling proud inside!! hahaha Every time that happens, I naturally think I really did well getting the surgery! ★Double-jaw surgery 1- to 6-month recovery summary★ The first month after double-jaw surgery was when I felt the biggest change. I could feel the change so clearly that the different face in the mirror felt unfamiliar. At first, my family and friends were surprised and reacted by saying they almost could not recognize me, but as time passed, everyone told me I really did well getting the surgery, so I felt much lighter! My pronunciation was clumsy, but as I consistently practiced opening my mouth, I recovered to the point where I could eat comfortably without spilling food, and discomfort in daily life also noticeably decreased. ________________________________________ By the second month, recovery became even faster. Sensation returned by about half, and my lips tingled every night, but I took it as a positive sign that recovery was progressing. Except for hard foods, I could eat most foods without problems, and because the change looked natural, people around me often said they did not know I had surgery. In particular, even my mother, who had opposed the surgery, was very satisfied after seeing the results~! ________________________________________ By the third month, I had recovered enough to chew almost all foods, and the swelling had almost disappeared, so I felt like my face had finally settled properly. Right after surgery, I had regrets because of the pain, swelling, and unfamiliar appearance, but as I regained confidence, those feelings turned into satisfaction!!! ________________________________________ By the fourth month, I had no problem eating anything except hard foods, and although sensation had not completely returned, I could think positively while feeling the tingling recovery signals every night. Especially before, I used to hear that hats did not suit me, but after surgery I often hear compliments that hats look good on me, so I feel very proud haha ________________________________________ By the fifth month, rather than major visible changes, I entered a stabilization phase, so I could live so naturally in daily life that I forgot about the surgery! I hardly felt the discomfort I had before surgery anymore. ________________________________________ By the sixth month, I could not believe half a year had already passed since surgery. The period of waiting for swelling to go down was completely over, and now only nerve recovery remained. Subjectively, about 60% of sensation had returned, and although I heard it usually takes 1 to 2 years, I felt my recovery was faster than expected. More than anything, it had become so natural and familiar that it felt as if I had been born with this face from the beginning!! ★Overall thoughts★ To summarize the 7-month process after double-jaw surgery, the early stage had fear and regret too, but now it was only a matter of time before those changed into satisfaction and confidence haha. I resolved both functional issues and appearance concerns at the same time, and along with the natural change, my quality of life improved greatly!! If anyone is considering surgery, I hope you create your own new beginning through enough consultation and preparation!!! I am truly grateful to Director Kim at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery for giving me a new beginning!
