Hello! It has already been 3 months since I had double-jaw surgery with Director Kim Jong-yoon at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. Before deciding on surgery, every time I looked in the mirror, my lower jaw protruded, so I was very stressed, and because my bite did not align, eating was very uncomfortable too So after making a big decision, I had the surgery. At first, it was really hard. Right after surgery, breathing felt so stuffy and the swelling was severe, so I was shocked every time I looked in the mirror haha Especially until week 1, I had to sleep sitting up, so my lower back and buttocks hurt so much, and because my mouth was tied shut, not being able to yawn was the hardest part. But as time passed, it definitely became more comfortable and better! Around month 1, I got somewhat used to the wafer, and I could visibly see the swelling going down slowly. At that time, it still felt a bit awkward to go out without a mask, but by around month 2, a lot of the swelling had gone down, so these days I go around without a mask haha And now, at month 3, I’ve improved so much! My jaw is now stable enough that I can chew meat, and sensation has almost all returned. At first, I was worried because there was a slight sound from my jaw when I yawned, but now that sound has completely disappeared. The orthodontic department has elastics hooked onto my teeth, and I want to have those removed soon too haha More than anything, people around me say my face looks much softer and prettier, so I feel so good! I was also worried about swelling after surgery, but Director Kim Jong-yoon did the surgery so well that the swelling went down faster than I expected. At first after double-jaw surgery, it was really hard, and I briefly thought, why did I do this? But now I truly think I’m glad I had the surgery! haha If there are people who, like me, are worried because of their lower jaw, it does take some time, but I think it will be a choice you won’t regret!
