2 Months Review Of Life Changing Jaw Surgery

almasalma
WORTH IT
Hi everyone! My name is Alma and I’m from Los Angeles. I came to Banobagi Hospital which is in Seoul for angular jaw and chin reduction. My face was very rounded and I know my surgery wasn’t a necessity but for me it was a crucial decision, all changes were meant to be a more aesthetic improvement. The staff at Banobagi Hospital was really nice with me. They informed me on everything – what was going on, what’s gonna to be done and most importantly, what I needed to be done. My surgeon was Dr. Park, very kind and patient. My consultation with him was very informative, I think it’s really great to understand the surgery from doctor’s perspective which was explained in a very clear and understandable language. I’ve never dealt with general operations under anesthesia before and that was my first experience with plastic surgery as well but I think everything was very good so far.
Before proceeding the surgery I already knew what to expect and now it’s the 2 month of my recovery and things seem to be quite satisfied. I’m still a little swollen, but it goes down by the end of the day. I was told that by the 4 month everything is gonna be just as it was before the surgery, so I’m expecting to fully recover in the next 3 months.

I did lower jaw overbite surgery with a high-review doctor in US and Regret it, reasons:

1) bite became off, I keep my mouth open slightly open when I sleep
2)tension feeling in my lower jaw
3) numbness after 1.5 year in my chin and lower lip
4) no feeling for kissing which is frustrating
5)you will not be able to perform oral intimate like before as the jaw gets tired really quick
6)don't feel the food on your chin so I keep wiping the area
7)skin redness in the chin area
8)feel that I spit when I talk, self-conscious!
If you have malocclusion type 2 NEVER go for this surgery! Orthodontics PUSH you to do the surgery and NEVER tells you about this!

I’m not sure if 4 months are enough for a complete recovery but results seem to be very good. No swelling at all, only in the morning and only eyes and undereye zone, the rest looks beyond satisfied. I think with proceeded surgeries I look more attractive therefore became more confident. Very happy with my results.
