After searching here and there for hospitals that are good at double-jaw surgery, the place that was mentioned the most was an oral and maxillofacial surgery hospital. The reviews were good, and it was already well known for double-jaw surgery, so after consultations at several hospitals, I ultimately chose it. I’m now 2 months post-op after surgery with Director Kim Jong-yoon! How I ended up getting double-jaw surgery was that, ever since middle school, my underbite was so severe that my nickname was “Jaw.” My bite didn’t align, so eating was uncomfortable, and especially whenever I saw photos of my side profile, my confidence dropped… I decided because I thought, this is something I absolutely have to get surgery for..!! When it had been one month since surgery, I could eat little by little, but even steamed egg was still a bit difficult at that time. So I focused on recovery with the mindset of not overdoing it and taking it slowly. But even when it had only been one month, I could already clearly feel the change every time I looked in the mirror, and my satisfaction was very high because of that :) And now it’s been 2 months! Compared with one month ago, the swelling has definitely gone down a lot, and every time I look in the mirror, my facial contours are starting to look clearer and clearer!!! Before, I deliberately avoided my side profile and only took photos from the front, but now I can take side-profile photos with confidence haha The change is so big that friends I met after a long time sometimes didn’t recognize me and just passed by lol! Every time that happens, I think to myself that getting double-jaw surgery was really such a good decision. There’s still a little awkwardness and discomfort when eating or speaking, but when I think back to the days when I was stressed because of my jaw, this much is definitely bearable. I do recognize myself that I’m recovering slowly! Also, my diet is gradually becoming more varied. At first, I only ate soft foods like porridge or soup, but now I can eat steamed egg and soft side dishes without much difficulty. Of course, I’m still avoiding hard or tough foodsㅠ Before surgery, I was self-conscious even when smiling in front of people, but now I can just smile naturally. Since my own facial expressions feel more comfortable, it feels like my confidence is rising too, so every day feels new. Thank you to Dr. Kim at the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic, and I recommend him to everyone!
