Why I Am Satisfied Even Though Orthognathic Surgery and Two-Jaw Surgery Are Said to Have Slow Recovery

I had contouring surgery and two-jaw surgery together from Director Shin Hee-jin at Ieum Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and I am now at month 4! My lower jaw was originally a bit prominent, so I was stressed every time I looked at my side profile, and worrying about my jawline when taking photos had become such an everyday thing for me I heard that braces alone had limits, so I started considering two-jaw surgery as well, and after looking into many hospitals I found Ieum Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. After the consultation, I understood why it was famous as a hospital that does two-jaw surgery well! They looked at my facial shape and bite condition extremely carefully, and explained things in a direction of natural improvement rather than making it feel like surgery was being forced on me, which built trust. In particular, Director Shin Hee-jin's consultation style was very comfortable, so even though I was very nervous, I remember feeling at ease At month 2, because the surgery was done with IVRO, the swelling felt like it was going down really slowly,, especially the residual swelling around the front cheekbones and philtrum lasted longer than I expected, so every time I looked in the mirror I wondered when it would go down. But on the other hand, the overall shape of my face had changed a lot. People around me kept saying my face looked smaller, and every time I heard that, I felt glad I had the surgery Rather than the swelling suddenly dropping all at once, it feels more like it is settling naturally over time, so I think that actually makes me even more satisfied! Now at month 4, the big swelling is almost gone and only a little residual swelling remains! My mouth area still feels a little awkward when smiling, but eating is completely fine and daily life is very comfortable More than anything, my side profile and facial proportions have been refined so much that I almost do not feel stressed when taking photos anymore. I worried a lot because people said two-jaw surgery has a slow recovery, but after going through it, I can see it gradually settling into a natural state over time, so my satisfaction keeps going up!!
