The reason I decided on double-jaw surgery was that it was difficult to close my mouth because of protruding mouth, and I was bothered by my gums showing when I smiled. I thought it would be difficult to achieve the change I wanted with orthodontic treatment alone, so I chose double-jaw surgery for a fast and definite result. I chose the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic because, after watching various videos, I developed trust in them. In particular, the double-jaw surgery results in cases similar to mine looked natural and pretty, and during the consultation they explained things honestly without pressuring me, so I decided to go with them. Right after double-jaw surgery, there was swelling and discomfort, but as time passed, I gradually recovered. After a month, I recovered enough to chew firm foods, and by the 2-month mark I could open my mouth freely. By the 3-month mark, my nerves had recovered a lot, so I had no discomfort even when smiling. And by the 6-month mark, almost all the swelling had gone down and my expressions became even more natural. I can eat hard foods without any problem, and I have no discomfort at all in daily life. At first it was hectic and difficult, but now, 6 months after contouring and double-jaw surgery, I really think I did the right thing by having the surgery, and I’m satisfied because I’ve become more comfortable not only externally but also functionally. Thank you to Director Kim Jong-yoon at the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic and to the nurses for taking such attentive care of me!!
