Surgical motivation
Since middle school, I noticed that my
mouth and chin are a little bit bigger than others. I always took pictures with
my chin covered. Or I was so nervous that almost no photos came out. So I asked
my mom to start braces in high school to improve my protruded mouth. Occlusion
is well fitted with braces. But the protruded mouth didn't improve, and the jaw
was more noticeable.
From my point of view, I wanted to get facial
contouring surgery since I thought my problem was the lantern jaw that I only considering
front chin & square jaw surgery. I went to get a consultation at EU because
I saw that their surgery review & outcome is really good. When I visit there, the counselor was very
kind and explained to me well and informed me that decided preciously since
this is the major surgery. Also, she honestly told me about the side effects
that could happen! When I asked if I couldn't do facial contouring surgery
because I couldn't give up on but doctor said that facial contouring surgery
will be not effective. So I decided to double jaw surgery. First of all, I
chose this hospital because trust is important.

I'm eating well, too! I better need to be
careful when drinking hot or cold water because my sensation did not comeback
fully yet. Also, the shape of my mouth is funny. The numb side seems a little
more obtuse.

The pressure on the ear returned to normal
at about 80 percent. When I move my mouth, I still can feel that my muscles are
tight in my mouth, so it's painful because I have screws inside my mouth. The
swelling looks distinctly different in the evening. I felt like my sensation is
coming back about 50 percent. When I brush around my chin, I can clearly see
the difference between are that sensation is coming back.

I'm pretty. On the subway today, someone asked me how old I am and said I am 19
years old. And she said that I look much younger than that! Haha!

When viewed through X-rays, too, the
philtrum was swollen a lot as I expected. I think this area is really slow to
reduce the swelling…

The discomfort after the operation is that
the gum where the screw is inserted sometimes hurts. I can eat soft food like
salmon and meat well. Except hard food everything will be ok J so I think it will be fine. I really want to eat Kimchi but I can
never eat it. I tried to eat it with my front teeth, but I couldn't eat it and
spit it out.

The swelling is decreasing very much! The
swelling of the philtrum remains the most on my face, so I'm very satisfied
except for the unnatural ones. If you don't look at it from the side, you can't
tell!

I like my face even more because of
swelling. I hope that my face can remain like this! I am glad to Dr. Shin since
he made my face shape very natural without sharp chin! I can eat all the food
and I can everything as before the surgery.

I used to hate it because I could only see
my chin when I wore a hat because of my long lower jaw. After surgery, the hat
looks good on me and I felt confidence when I look at myself with hat. Before
the surgery, my face was so bony but after surgery, I have some swellings on my
face and I like it! I prefer round and chubby faces than skinny and long faces.
