I had facial contouring surgery at a plastic surgery clinic in my early twenties. I had many regrets about it at the time, but this time I am living very happily with the result haha. It has already been three months since I had revision double-jaw and facial contouring surgery with Dr. Shin Hee-jin at [Clinic A]!! haha. After my first contouring surgery, I was constantly bothered by how everything from my mouth to my chin looked too recessed. Especially when I smiled, my mouth looked older, and my lips looked too thin, so even though I originally loved smiling, I eventually became conscious of my smile too. For about three years, I could not comfortably take off my mask even in hot summer weather, and eventually I decided I did not want to keep living with this stress and chose revision double-jaw plus contouring surgery. In my early twenties, I had my first contouring surgery without much information, after being taken there by my mother. Since then, I remained dissatisfied because my mouth and chin looked too recessed T_T. The stress was especially severe because my mouth looked older when I smiled and my lips looked too thin. I used to really love smiling, but at some point I became conscious of how I looked when smiling too. For about three years I could not take off my mask easily even in summer, and I felt I could not continue living like that. I wanted to bring my chin forward, so I looked into double-jaw surgery rather than contouring surgery, and decided on double-jaw surgery at [Clinic A]!.. Since I had already undergone bone surgery, and this was a revision surgery no matter what, I researched hospitals carefully this time too. There were three main things I considered important. First, for bone surgery this time, rather than a plastic surgery clinic, I looked for an oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic specializing in facial contouring and double-jaw surgery. Since this was another revision surgery, I researched more carefully, and I also trusted [Clinic A] because it specializes in the jaw and occlusion. Second, Dr. Shin Hee-jin's aesthetic sense matched the direction I wanted! Rather than creating a uniformly similar face shape, I felt that the doctor considered each patient's face and desired direction while looking at overall harmony. When I looked through many double-jaw surgery reviews, there were many natural-looking changes, and I liked that too haha. Third was postoperative care. I thought that with double-jaw surgery, not only the surgery itself but also consistently checking swelling and recovery afterward was important. The aftercare system and equipment were well established, so I thought I could continue visiting with peace of mind after surgery! And now it has been three months since double-jaw surgery! The variety of foods I can eat has really increased. I can now eat somewhat chewy foods like rice cakes, and unless it is something very hard like nuts, I can eat most things comfortably. Above all, I love that my smile has become much more natural! Opening my mouth has also become much easier, and now I can open it wide enough for about three fingers vertically!! It was a major surgery, so I was worried about recovery, but three months later daily life has become much easier T_T. I would like to thank Dr. Shin Hee-jin once again for looking after me so that I could recover comfortably without postoperative complications. Since it has only been three months, the residual swelling still has time to go down, but I can already see that much of the swelling has disappeared. I am very excited to see how naturally it will settle by six months :)
