Hello! It has already been 8 months since I had double-jaw surgery and facial contouring surgery together with Dr. Shin Hee-jin at EU Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery!! The reason I decided on surgery was more functional than appearance-related! My lower jaw protruded a lot, so I couldn’t chew properly, and because of that I couldn’t digest well either and had many inconveniences in daily life After finishing my service as an industrial technical personnel, I thought if I didn’t do it now, I wouldn’t be able to, so I immediately started preparing for surgery. Thanks to having saved money while serving, the financial burden wasn’t too big either. At first I mainly looked into plastic surgery clinics, but I came to realize that expertise and stability are more important for double-jaw surgery, so after looking through many reviews, I decided on EU Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery as my surgery hospital because they had many real patients and felt safe and trustworthy in many ways!! The first week right after surgery was very hard because the swelling made it difficult to breathe and I was also very hungry, but from after discharge I could feel myself gradually recovering. In week 2, as the stitches were removed, a lot of swelling went down, and my facial contours started to show little by little! From around week 3, I often heard that my impression looked softer, and my mouth-opening exercises were going well, so recovery felt smooth. At 1 month, the swelling was going down slowly, so every morning my face felt swollen again, but when I looked at my side profile, my jawline had settled well, so I felt very satisfied. From month 2, my face looked much more natural, and as sensation gradually returned, every time I looked in the mirror I thought I had done well to have the surgery. Tough foods were still difficult, but there were more things I could eat, so my stress decreased and I started gaining weight back. At month 3, almost all the swelling had gone down, and people around me told me a lot that my face had improved so much, so I felt good hahaha! Returning to daily life was faster than I expected, and from this period it became so natural that I could barely remember life before surgery! During months 4~6, eating became freer and my body felt much lighter. I did gain a little weight, but the overall line and impression were definitely cleaned up, so I actually like my face more now~! From month 7, it blended into daily life so naturally that I often even forgot to take before-and-after comparison photos, and currently!! Now that it’s month 8, it was amazing because I could still feel the swelling going down further. Sensation inside my mouth is still continuing to return, so recovery isn’t completely finished, but I’m sufficiently satisfied with the result! Double-jaw surgery and facial contouring are both definitely not surgeries to take lightly, but I also came to realize that if the surgery is performed at a hospital by a specialist, it is not a dangerous surgery! Also, I can clearly feel both the functional improvement and the appearance change, and when I think about it now, I’m convinced it was a really good choice:) If you had a lot of stress because of your jaw, I want to say it’s a surgery worth considering at least once, and if you want your double-jaw surgery to succeed like mine, I personally recommend Dr. Shin Hee-jin at EU Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery!!!
