Double-Jaw Surgery Reviews

I Think It's Amazing, What Do You Think? (I Had Double Jaw Surgery and Contouring Together)

I am a patient who received double-jaw surgery from Dr. Kim Jong-yun at Iu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and literally, I underwent double-jaw + contouring surgery together! I knew since middle school that my jaw was asymmetrical and protruded forward, but I was afraid of surgery, so I hid behind a mask for a long time! T_T I tried to solve it with orthodontics alone, but as I realized that it would not improve the fundamental jaw position or skeletal issues, I gradually hit a limit. I started to hate myself more for unconsciously covering my jaw every time I took a photo, and I decided to undergo double-jaw surgery because I wanted to properly improve both the functional and aesthetic aspects instead of hiding them. I consulted at about 3 to 4 well-known hospitals and compared them, and Iu Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery worked together with orthodontics, so from the consultation stage they took impressions and explained the jaw problem based on the tooth structure. That made me trust that they were considering not just appearance but also the bite and function. Some hospitals recommended surgery first, but since that felt burdensome in my situation, the fact that Dr. Kim Jong-yun explained that it would be better to proceed step by step with pre-orthodontic treatment felt more realistic and stable, which is why I chose them haha. Now at 3 months, I can open my mouth to about three fingers, and in daily life and when eating, as long as I avoid very hard or chewy foods, I can eat most things naturally, so I feel like I recovered faster than expected. Especially, the most reassuring change is that I can feel my sensation gradually returning over time~! Right after surgery I had almost no sensation, so I was worried, but now I can feel tingling as the recovery progresses, and when I think of it as the nerves coming back to life, I am actually taking it positively. As the swelling keeps going down and my face shape becomes more defined and slimmer, the satisfaction with my appearance is also growing. I am not yet at a fully recovered stage, but functionally the discomfort has decreased a lot, and the process of my facial proportions and lines becoming naturally refined makes me expect that overall things will get even better with time. I have been hearing more and more often that I look prettier and that my face has gotten so much smaller, which is happening frequently, but I am still a little shy! haha.
