Ever since I was young, I was teased a lot because of my protruding, angular jaw. As I got older, I lost facial fat, which made my jaw stand out even more and caused me a lot of stress. After thinking about surgery for a long time, I decided to go through with it.
Since double-jaw surgery is a major operation, I went around to several hospitals for consultations. After comparing postoperative photos from each hospital on various sites, I chose Yang Yoon Dol Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery because it seemed like they performed surgery well with natural-looking results. During the consultation, they did not recommend anything excessive, and I also liked that the director clearly explained what was not possible.
After surgery, I still had most of my sensation except in part of my lips and the roof of my mouth, and now all sensation has returned. I think it is thanks to the meticulous surgery. When I went for my 3-month follow-up, they told me the bones were healing well and that the improvement looked natural. Recently, the slight weakness in my jaw strength has also recovered, and I can open my mouth as wide as before surgery, so I’m living almost forgetting that I even had surgery.
If you decide to have surgery, aftercare!! is really important. I especially recommend walking and doing light exercise consistently after surgery. After double-jaw surgery, your energy can drop enough to interfere with daily life, and your stamina decreases sharply, so please make sure to eat nutritious foods and exercise regularly to maintain your strength. When I became inactive, I gained weight and the surgical effect seemed to naturally diminish lol
