I am a man and have severe misalignment and malocclusion, so I started with correction right after I was discharged from the military. He initially underwent orthodontic treatment with double jaw surgery in mind rather than general orthodontics (correction before surgery), and after about 2 years, he underwent surgery at a private hospital in Seoul in March 2020. (Orthodontic treatment is done in a local area) It took a long time because I had to take an exam before orthodontic treatment, and they said I could do the surgery after about 10 months of orthodontic treatment. At the time of the surgery, medical malpractice cases in plastic surgery were an issue, so I asked the oral surgeon and dentist. I had surgery. I was very nervous because it was my first major surgery under general anesthesia, but I was able to bear it because it reminded me of my past school days and military service when I suffered from a protruding chin. I endured it while thinking about the experience of being teased a lot and being shamefully told that if I had that face, I was a dick. I think the surgery took about 2-3 hours, and I think the hardest part was the frustration because my mouth was tied for nearly 2 weeks. During this period, I only drank water and New Care, so I lost a lot of weight. Is the nerve in my upper jaw cut and reconnected, or is it neuralgia? There was something like that. I remember not being able to sleep because I was sick. After about a month, I started eating things like steamed eggs and felt a little better. After about 2 years, I am now living well without any side effects. There was no nerve damage, which I was most worried about, and although it was minimal, it seemed like everything had come back to normal after a year. The feeling that the tip of his nose was slightly cold also disappeared after the second year. On the contrary, when viewed from the side, the nose is raised and the lower jaw is retracted, creating a three-dimensional effect on the face. There is also an optical illusion that the eyes look slightly bigger. People I knew before the surgery ask me if I had it done anywhere other than the chin when I meet them after a long time. I wish I had done it a year sooner, but I regret it. no see. More than anything, I think the biggest change is that I can feel confident when my picture is taken or photographed. (I think sagging jowls can't be helped, so I think I'll have to get a procedure)
