Hello! It’s already been almost 1 year since I had double jaw surgery haha At first, the recovery period felt long, so I had a lot of worries, but looking back now, I really feel like I endured it well Right after surgery, my nasal congestion was severe and my lips and gums were swollen, so even swallowing a sip of water was difficult. At night, I had to sleep sitting up, and I also felt nauseous. But Director Shin Hee-jin at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery explained everything carefully before and after surgery, and answered each of my questions kindly during the consultation, so I felt much more at ease. Thanks to that, I was able to get through the difficult first few days of recovery well haha At 2-3 months after surgery, the swelling gradually started to go down and sensation in my face slowly came back. I could sleep well, and the nasal congestion improved a lot, so daily life became much more comfortable. There was still swelling in the philtrum area and tingling in my lips, but seeing myself recover day by day made the waiting not feel hard. Especially when I felt speaking and swallowing food becoming easier, it was fascinating to see the pace of recovery visibly. By 4-6 months, the swelling started going down in earnest and my jawline began to settle naturally. My facial expressions became much more natural, and there was almost no discomfort when eating or speaking. Before, whenever I took photos, I was always conscious of my jaw and worried about the angle, but now I can smile and take photos comfortably, so I gained a lot of confidence haha People around me also told me a lot that my face looked softer and pretty, so my satisfaction was at its highest. At 7-9 months, almost all the swelling was gone and sensation had fully returned. The dullness around my mouth and at my chin tip disappeared, and my expressions settled naturally too. Now it barely looks like I had surgery, so many people around me don’t even know I had it haha I no longer need to worry about my jawline when taking photos, so I feel really at ease, and I’ve gained confidence when smiling. By 10-11 months, my facial line had completely stabilized, and the change in my appearance looked so natural that people around me didn’t notice at all that I had surgery. Jaw movement, eating, and speaking are all comfortable, and I no longer have any of that stiff, aching feeling in my jaw like before haha I can smile freely when taking photos, and I have no discomfort at all in daily life. More than anything, I gained a lot of confidence; before, when photos were taken of me, I worried about the angle and smiling felt awkward, but now I don’t worry about it at all. What I want to tell those considering double jaw surgery is that with time, truly natural and satisfying results do come. Thanks to Director Shin Hee-jin at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, my recovery process was stable, and the results were beyond my expectations, so I really want to recommend it haha Even if I went back, I think I would choose double jaw surgery with absolutely no regrets!
