Many patients who visit EU ask this question. Although people tend to think that receiving double jaw surgery at an oral and maxillofacial surgery hospital would enhance the functional aspects but would be difficult to improve the beauty aspects. But this is a misconception.

Dr. Jong Yun Kim and Dr. Hee Jin Shin at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery are oral and maxillofacial surgery specialists, who have helped numerous patients recover their functionality and are highly experienced in performing facial bone surgery for a wide variety of cases.

As a result of significant experience in facial bone surgery, combined with endless study and research on beautiful faces, our EU doctors are now widely recognized as the specialists in the oral and maxillofacial surgery area. Instead of simply striving for some standardized facial structures, our EU specialists improve not only the functional aspects but also the beauty aspects that consider unique individuality.

Double jaw surgery and orthodontics are inseparably related. In general, at least 6 months of minimum orthodontic treatment is needed prior to double jaw surgery, and another period of orthodontic treatment is needed after the surgery. The entire process of double jaw surgery takes up 2 years on average to be completed.

Pre-surgery at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery has the advantage of not requiring orthodontic treatment prior to the surgery. This is possible as a result of the highly sophisticated skills possessed by Dr. Kim and Dr. Shin.

To perform the surgery-first approach reliably, the three factors, accurate diagnosis and systematic surgical plans, surgical skills of the doctors, must all be in harmony.

The surgery-first approach would not be offered if there was a lack of experience or confidence in the results. EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is highly confident in delivering results.

Double jaw surgery by itself is surgery performed while considering the unique characteristics and circumstances of individuals, and therefore a particularly different surgical method does not necessarily apply as a result of the patient being a man vs. being a woman.
However, given the assumption that the functionality is enhanced satisfactorily, the surgery can be performed to tailor to the image that each patient desires.

Doing so requires the surgeons to possess technical competence and a sense of beauty, combined with genuine interest and understanding as to what the patient truly wants. These are reasons why EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery are highly and genuinely interested in each of the patients it serves, and there are reasons why EU patients have such a high level of satisfaction as to the results of their surgery.

Double jaw surgery is correcting for malocclusion by adjusting the locations of facial bones. Doing so will correct for the imbalance of facial bones, recover the functionality by correcting for malocclusion, and enhance the beauty of the face shape. The skills and competence of the surgeons performing double jaw surgery can be assessed by simply examining the bone surface after cutting.

Many patients say even the bone pictures at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery are pretty. This is attributable to our precise understanding on facial bone structure and functions.

We understand deeply as to how much burden that our patients have and how long our patients have thought about double jaw surgery until they finally decided to proceed with such a major surgery. Accordingly, EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery will strive endless to achieve healthy and beautiful results by performing safe and correct surgery based on adequate consultations and precise diagnosis.
