Reason
for Surgery:
During puberty, I suddenly grew taller and
my jaw bones got longer as well. I’ve always had a protruded mouth and a gummy
smile. This was very stressful and I got braces due to that. However, even with
braces, I had a protruded mouth and long gums, and my long chin did not improve
do I decided to get surgery after contemplating for a long time.
Reason
for Choosing EU
I made up my mind to get double jaw
surgery, but the difficult part was choosing a clinic. I found several places
and received consultations. Out of all of them, I really liked my consultation
with Dr. Kim from EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and he had the best
surgical method! He was able to explain everything in detail and in a way so
that I could understand everything easily. It was easy to communicate with him
which is why I chose EU.
Day
of Surgery
I woke up from the anesthesia and felt like
I was dying. I kept bleeding from my nose and breathing was really difficult
but the nurses and my parents were there to help me.

My face is very swollen.. not being able to
breath properly while sleeping is very uncomfortable. The swelling from my face
has been reducing but I feel like my face will explode. Time is medicine!

I got my mouth disinfected at the clinic
today. The bruises have gone down to my neck and the swelling has been decreasing
a bit.

It’s finally the day where I can get my
stitches removed! I was worried that it was going to be very painful but due to
the doctor being extra careful, it didn’t hurt that much!

After 20 days, I am able to do my daily
activities without any problems! I’m able to go outside which has been helping
my swelling. Whenever I look at my side profile, it still fascinates me to see
that my mouth has been pushed back and the results for my chin seem natural. I’m
satisfied and very thankful to the doctor!

I went to the clinic and got my xrays and
medical photos taken. I also had a consultation with the doctor and he told me
that there was nothing wrong. I was told that I could start to eat soft foods
that I can easily break with my hands. I’m happy that I can chew soft foods
now. The feeling in my mouth has returned completely, my mouth has been pushed back,
and my chin is shorter! I’m highly satisfied with the functional and aesthetic improvements.
I’m really glad that I had surgery at EU!

I’m doing well to the point where I almost forgot I had surgery! I’m able to chew any foods now! I heard that double jaw surgery can cause loss of sensation and skin sagging but due to the doctor’s skills, I did not have any of those side effects. I want to express that I am grateful to the doctor again for my natural results. My protruded mouth has disappeared, my short chin has improved, it’s still very fascinating to me!
