As soon as I turned 18 (3rd year of high school), I went to Chung-Ang University Hospital in April of this year to consult about chin surgery. I thought that a university hospital would be better able to handle cases like nerve damage or major bleeding, so I just went up from the countryside and only consulted at Chung-Ang University Hospital from the beginning! It
's already been 7 months since I went there, but I was so busy preparing for the CSAT and preparing for my license right after the consultation that I'm writing a review after the CSAT... ㅠ
Since I live in the Jeolla province, I took the SRT up to Seoul at dawn. Since it was a university hospital, I think it was because the controversy over increasing the number of medical schools was just starting and reaching its peak, so after registering for the examination in the morning, I had a consultation before the examination, did various tests, heard the test results, and even consulted on whether or not to have the surgery. I waited at the hospital for 8 or 9 hours.
Instead, I had a 1-on-1 consultation with the professor!
The tests I received included a dental cast and a 3D facial contour examination.. ? I think they even took basic X-rays and CT scans, and they took pictures of my face from all angles, and the total examination fee was well over 200,000 won. ㅠ
After the examination, I waited for about 6 hours to hear the results, but the professors looked very busy, and when I saw them from outside, they really seemed to be doing all the surgeries from the beginning to the end. While I was waiting, I saw many people who had already had the surgery and came to check on the progress (more than 30 people these days..?). But they all had such great surgeries, and the aesthetics were no different from those done at a plastic surgery clinic, and since my face was the size of a fist, I thought I could trust them with the results of the surgery.
When I heard the results, I spoke to Professor Choi oo, and he was very honest and straightforward, telling me that I was not a case where chin surgery was possible. The nerves were so low that even if I tried, a T-shaped osteotomy or a recession surgery would be impossible. The most they could cut was 0.2m, but that was just going back and forth twice with sandpaper, so it could actually ruin my facial proportions. Even at most, it would be 0.2mm, but he said that cutting that 0.2mm and opening my jaw would be expensive and would cause too much sagging. But he told me that if I really wanted to, he would do the surgery in a way that wouldn’t put too much strain on my nerves. Even so, he discouraged me from getting the surgery, so I think I cried a lot. I’ve been teased a lot since I was little, and when I was in middle school, I always covered my chin with a mask. People would say things like, “Your chin is really a shame,” and “You’re pretty even if you just cover your chin, but it doesn’t look good if your chin is visible,” and I was hurt a lot by those words. But the professor looked at my face and told me that if it was too big of a complex, bimaxillary surgery was an option. In fact, for a face like mine, even if I wasn’t nervous, bimaxillary surgery would be a better fit than facial contouring. I had already heard this story from the orthodontic professor before my consultation with Professor Choi 00. (But I remember that the orthodontic professor spoke without any filter and spoke quite carelessly..) Next, Professor Choi said that my face would greatly improve and be effective with double jaw surgery, but he didn't want to recommend it.. He said that my face would definitely benefit greatly from double jaw surgery and would become much prettier, but my jaw wasn't big enough to warrant a major surgery like double jaw surgery.. My lower jaw was slightly protruding, but not to the point where I had a malocclusion, and the orthodontic treatment I was already doing was in its final stages, and that the length of my lower jaw couldn't be reduced with double jaw surgery.
He said that my face was a little long, but it wasn't a face that I would have a complex about, and he tried to dissuade me until the end. He said that my face looks pretty when I smile. He said that it was a good idea to come here for a consultation from the beginning, even though it was difficult. He also said that if I had gone to another plastic surgery clinic, they would have ignored the nerves and cut my jawbone, which was creepy..
So in the end, I gave up on the surgery, and I spent hundreds of thousands of won on transportation and examination fees while waiting all day, but I It was meaningful enough, and when I think about how I almost got my facial nerves cut by a useless plastic surgeon, I don’t regret spending the money on the examination. I was upset that I couldn’t get the surgery and couldn’t resolve my complex, and that I wouldn’t be able to touch my chin for the rest of my life, but I think I was greatly comforted by what Professor Choi said. And he did all the examinations very thoroughly, and it was so systematic that he would even check with his own eyes. He even gave me a questionnaire before the consultation. It asked if I had any mental illness? depression, temporomandibular joint disorder, and whether or not I needed orthodontic treatment. I just accept it and am living well now, but I really wanted to recommend it to other people, so I wrote this hesitantly. Considering the examination fee and waiting time, I think it would be good to go and get a consultation before going to a plastic surgery consultation! I think it would be really good to check your exact condition.
If I didn't have braces, I would have just closed my eyes and gotten double jaw surgery, but unfortunately I couldn't. If you have any further questions about the jaw contour consultation at Chung-Ang University Hospital, please leave a comment!
