First of all, I was very worried because the surgery took place much later than I originally thought, and I also thought a lot about having double jaw surgery.
1. Why I decided to have surgery
When I was young, I did not have a malocclusion or protruding chin. I was fine until I was in elementary school,
but I had a big growth spurt when I was in high school, and that was the first time I learned about misaligned chins and malocclusions. When I was a student who cared a lot about my appearance and other such things, something unexpected happened, so I had a lot of complexes about my appearance and my pronunciation. However, even if it is due to malocclusion, I will have to have it corrected when I become an adult. I thought. But when I actually went to the place where correction was done, they told me that I had already grown excessively and that there was no other treatment that would be effective other than surgery, so I thought I would have to have surgery.!
2. Reason for choosing oral and maxillofacial surgery
Well, at first, I looked into a lot of places, but since I live in Busan, I went to a private hospital that performs surgery in Busan and also received consultation at a university hospital. But at that time, I didn't want to do some surgery in Busan, so I thought it would be safer to have it done in Seoul, so I looked into hospitals in Seoul and made an appointment for the surgery. However, the day of the surgery was almost there, but the correction was very wrong, so it was much different from what was planned, so they decided to wait a little longer for the surgery.
At that time, the director of the orthodontic clinic where I was working said, “Among the orthodontic patients, there is a patient who went to IU Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and had successful surgery. Would you like to go there?” I asked and received a letter of recommendation, and I think I had a good feeling about it. They explained the surgery and the process in detail from start to finish, and I felt different from other hospitals, so I thought I should have it done at this hospital!
Well, it's been two months since I had the surgery, and I'm very satisfied. I didn't expect my external appearance to look good, but I'm very satisfied with my external appearance. Everyone around me says I look a lot better, and I'm so happy that my pronunciation and malocclusion are gone. I had the surgery. There may be people who regret it, but if I had to choose again, I would do it here and not have surgery again haha. I hope what I said is helpful.
