I'm a man in my late 20s who had double jaw surgery at a university hospital because my underbite was severe due to malocclusion. I endured a lot of pain and hardship, and when the swelling went down, my face changed to such a good impression that even my grandmother couldn't recognize me. I was so satisfied that every day felt happy. But starting around 6 months after the surgery, I began to feel like my skin was sagging, and in reality the flesh gradually started to droop, turning my once puffy face into a skull-like appearance. By the second year, I was extremely stressed and finally decided on a procedure or surgery. In truth, my finances weren't great either, so I couldn't fix it right away even if I wanted to.. So I worked nights as a waiter for two months and saved up money. Finally, I thought, it's done! I'll be able to return to a face with full, plump cheeks and a good impression! I had fat grafting and lifting, and after seeing better-than-expected results, people around me kept saying I looked handsome, which made me want even more..(I thought, so this is what they call plastic surgery addiction..). After that, I ended up getting chin botox and lip-corner filler too.. But as the lifting effects that had been holding my flesh up with threads gradually faded, the flesh started sagging again, and the botox and filler I had gotten seemed to backfire, making the sagging happen rapidly.. (For sagging flesh after bone surgery like mine, thread lifting really doesn't last as long as you'd think..) And so 3 years passed, and now I'm living with a fairly positive mindset, satisfied with my face in my own way.. People say that plastic surgery, especially double jaw surgery or contouring surgery that deals with the bones, almost always leads to sagging skin, so keep that in mind.. Sorry this was written so chaotically, since it's my first time writing something like this Anyway, to anyone thinking about plastic surgery~~ if you're confident you can bear all the side effects and say, "It's my own responsibility," then I think you can go ahead and do it right away^^
