Hi, this is a review I’m writing 6 months after having surgery with Director Shin Hee-jin at the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic! The reason I had surgery was that, ever since I was young, the protruding lower jaw visible from my side profile had been a major complex for me. Every time I took photos, my chin looked prominent, and because of malocclusion, chewing food was uncomfortable too I looked into many different methods, but I realized that if I wanted definite improvement, two-jaw surgery was ultimately the most effective. Like everyone reading this, I also decided to have surgery after a long period of deliberation! Before deciding on surgery, I looked up countless two-jaw surgery reviews on YouTube, Instagram, blogs, and so on. Among them, the videos and reviews from the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic were very helpful because they had plenty of real patients’ before-and-after changes and detailed explanations. When I went for a consultation, the director and consultant explained everything carefully and systematically, so I gained trust and had my surgery there! hehe When one month had passed after surgery, I could open my mouth wide enough for about three fingers to go in easily, and I could chew soft foods such as porridge, noodles, and rice, so eating became much more comfortable hehe. As the swelling around my mouth gradually went down, I started to see the changes!!! Every time I looked in the mirror, I could really feel that I was recovering. From the second month after surgery, I could eat almost most foods without discomfort, except meat! The overall swelling had clearly gone down a lot, my facial contour gradually looked more natural, and eating and talking in daily life became comfortable, so I could feel that recovery was progressing quickly>< By the third month, I became comfortable enough to live while forgetting that I had surgery. My chewing strength improved, and I was able to return completely to daily life with literally no disruption at all. In the fourth month, I could eat whatever I wanted as much as I liked, and as I became more comfortable, I often even forgot that I had surgery^ㅡ^ hehe By the fifth month, almost all of the major swelling had gone down, and I could see the remaining minor swelling gradually decreasing over time! Every time I looked in the mirror, I felt satisfied because my facial contour was settling into place in a stable way hahaha Now that it has been six months, I’ve completely returned to everyday life. These days, I really almost forget that I had surgery, except when writing a review like this There is still a little swelling around the mouth area, but I think it will disappear soon, and every time I look in the mirror, I can clearly feel that the swelling is almost gone!!!! I think two-jaw surgery is a really effective method for improving a protruding lower jaw, malocclusion, and facial asymmetry! In the beginning, swelling and a recovery period are needed, but after about three months, you recover enough that daily life is not greatly affected, and by around six months, it seems you can return to an almost natural state. Don’t just worry for a long time like I did; make sure to get an accurate diagnosis through a consultation!! If you choose a hospital with a collaborative orthodontic system, it seems you can get results that are more comfortable and satisfying from the patient’s perspective! Thank you, Director Shin!! Thank you to everyone who read this too!!
