I do not really know much about the hospital facilities, since I only got X-rays and a CT scan there, but I had no doubts about the director's expertise because I had already studied enough through the blog and YouTube to know it was worth going. I went there thinking that if I was going to have surgery, it had to be by Director Choi!!! because I wanted to solve my questions. I was looking into outer corner widening because I was not confident about cheekbone reduction. But when I brought up cheekbone reduction, they talked about double jaw surgery instead. I will write down the Q and A about double jaw surgery first. Q) I am already undergoing orthodontic treatment. Do I need to do orthodontics again? A) After double jaw surgery, 80 percent do not. Orthodontics is not mandatory. Q) I have a bad TMJ. Does this also help? A) The purpose of double jaw surgery is to improve facial asymmetry, so an already worn TMJ disc cannot be helped, but by improving asymmetry, it can reduce the load on the disc on one side. It is not a surgery done for TMJ problems, but that effect can be expected as a secondary benefit. Q) Which part is removed? A) Because the center of my face is sunken now and looks long, trying to reduce the cheekbones would actually make the face look longer. The resection area was explained using a skull model. They also showed before and after photos without any correction. Q) After the inside of the mouth is cut, how long until I can eat normally? A) One week of liquid food Q) How long does it take for the bones to unite? A) 3 months Q) Later, when giving birth, could the fused bones separate again or could I get osteoporosis? A) Not at all Q) I heard there are many nerves around the jaw. A) They showed me the actual surgery photos and clearly said they do not touch the nerves. Cheekbone reduction was around 8 million won, I think, Double jaw surgery was 15 million, and chin tip osteotomy was an additional 5 million, with a discount possible here
