Because of Class III malocclusion, I had face-mask orthodontic treatment during elementary school, so my dental occlusion improved a lot through orthodontics, but it was still an edge bite. When I was in my third year of high school, my crescent-moon-like protruding lower jaw when seen from the side, long face, and asymmetry were still there, and because my jaw was slipping out and my temporomandibular joint was not good, I went to the local dental clinic where I had orthodontic treatment, and they told me I was a double-jaw surgery case. Ten years ago, when people talked about double-jaw surgery, it was a time when most people around me said, “Couldn’t you die from that? Why do it? You’re not going to become a celebrity, so just live the way you were born. Don’t do it,” so I was scared too and could not have surgery. Ten years passed, but I still hated my protruding lower jaw so much that I did not take photos. One day, I looked at the photo album on my phone and realized there were only photos of my husband and daughter, and not a single photo taken together with me. After much thought, I looked into several specialized oral and maxillofacial surgery hospitals through YouTube and then found a place called Y Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. I booked surgery on the day I had my consultation. The reasons I chose Y Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery were its system of one surgery per day, an anesthesiologist on site, and even an orthodontic specialist. In particular, since I also had the desire to improve my appearance if I was going to have surgery anyway, the fact that the doctor had previously worked at a famous plastic surgery clinic made me trust them more. Also, on YouTube, there was a person who had an interview after double-jaw surgery whose case was very similar to mine, so I think I watched that video more than ten times. That is how I proceeded with double-jaw surgery and two types of facial contouring surgery (square jaw and chin), and now it has been 6 months haha Now that I am at 6 months, people around me say the swelling seems to have all gone down as if it were my original face, and that I look natural when speaking or eating haha The sensation inside my mouth and in my face has all returned, so there is no discomfort and no pain. Until the 3-month mark, rather than discomfort from the surgery itself, I had discomfort when eating because my dental occlusion was not good due to surgery-first treatment, but my bite has gradually improved, so there are no major discomforts now. My temporomandibular joint has also improved noticeably, and the pain and clicking symptoms have disappeared, so I am very satisfied haha I think the best thing I have done in my life is double-jaw surgery. I am so satisfied that I regret not doing it earlier, and it feels like I am living a new life Now I am living confidently without worrying about other people’s eyes, doing things like taking photos that I could not do before, and my self-esteem has risen a lot Everyone, if you are deliberation like I was, I really recommend comparing safe places and then trying it!
