Why I decided to have surgery People with a recessed chin will definitely relate: Even though I was thin, my side profile looked very blunt, and as I naturally kept seeing my side profile in photos, it became a complex for me. That is why I continued to wear a mask often even after COVID. As this stress continued, I looked into exercises, dermatology procedures, surgery, and other options related to a recessed chin, and then I learned about chin advancement surgery. After searching for a lot of information on various forums, apps, websites, and so on, I generally felt that Director Yang Yoon-dol’s surgical results were the ideal results I wanted, so I scheduled a consultation. It took about an hour from arriving until the actual consultation, but after hearing the manager’s kind explanation and checking many before/after photo cases, and because the director carefully checked whether there was asymmetry from the front, diagonal, and side views, I decided to book the surgery. Surgery and recovery process Because I needed more advancement than others, he mentioned a two-step osteotomy of about 13 mm. He said that a regular diet would be possible after surgery, but because of the pain, I ate porridge/steamed eggs and similar foods for about 1-2 weeks, and the swelling was, of course, very significant. I could feel the pain gradually easing as I did cold compresses, so I kept doing them diligently. Changes and thoughts at three months It has now been about three months since surgery, and people around me have told me quite a bit that I look somehow more mature and better-looking. Honestly, inside I thought the before-and-after difference was not that obvious, so maybe others would feel the same, but I was the only one who thought that. Even when there was swelling, I was satisfied because it felt like my original chin, and as the swelling went down and the line became visible to some extent, I feel my self-satisfaction is at 200%. I used to avoid taking photos with friends, but these days I have gotten to the point where I can take them without thinking much about it. I am really satisfied!
