So I am currently in Korea right now, and I was planning to get jaw surgery here. My original plan was to get a two jaw surgery, and to be honest, I never even really considered single jaw surgery. The issue I want to fix is an underbite, as seen in the picture below (yes, I am male! I suspect most users are female here)

Since I've come here, one of the main issues that I have become worried about is whether to get one or two jaw surgery. It may be more of a philosophical question than a hard scientific one. Basically, the main thing I am worried about is how much better I can look, while also keeping my "facial identity", at least to the extent that it is possible. So on the one hand, I am worried that only having a one jaw, lower-jaw only surgery might barely change my appearance and make my surgery quite useless, while a two-jaw surgery might change my face too much and I won't really feel like myself anymore.

Has anyone else here had any similar worries? How did you resolve them? They don't necessarily have to be jaw surgery related, it could be any sort of cosmetic surgery where you were worried about changing too little or changing too much. Also, if you are more familiar with underbite/jaw issues, looking at my side profile, what kind of surgery would you recommend?

Thank you so much. I am definitely going through a lot of worries pre-surgery, and this forum is a lifesaver, thank you everyone.

Hello,
Some of my problems were like you described. I had facial asymmetry (face asymmetry), underbite and square jaw with wide chin. I also had sunken face with nasolabial folds, they also call it smile line right. It makes me look considerably old. After all my problems solved with double jaw surgery.
I can see you have this sunken face with nasolabial folds (smile lines) too.

At first, I made mistake not doing enough research and just jumped in to famous big hospital. And I had face contouring surgery. It didn't fix above all problems. Face contouring surgery made my face longer looking and still have underbite.

Second, I did good research. And found good hospital EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. I already shared about my experience here.
I discussed with my doctor Dr. Kim Jong Yun and doctor recommended me Double jaw surgery and V-line. I had very good result. I have shorter, younger looking face. My nasolabial folds dissappeared too. I didn't have any nose surgery, eyes surgery, forehead etc. So I am looking better version of previous me.

I'm Korean American, but not too fluent in Korean myself, but when I had my parents help me with my research on places to get double jaw surgery in Korea, I realized there are tons and tons of places that seem to be well known to Koreans but I've never heard of doing research in English.

So I do think there is something to doing your research with the help of a Korean before going.

Hello,
I am english speaking foreign patient. My first surgery (face contouring surgery) didn't solve all my problems including facial asymmetry and underbite, broad chin, wide jaw ... After face contouring surgery, I end up with more narrow and long looking face and still have face asymmetry, wide chin. I blamed myself for this result because I didn't do proper research and I didn't have enough communication with doctor about what result I really want and what surgery is suitable for me.

Later on, I did good research. And finally had good help from Gangnam Medical Tour Center. It is government department and provide proper customised consultation free. As they advised me, i communicated with number of hospitals. And found good hospital EU.

I had double jaw surgery amd v-line surgery (it was my second surgery which is revision surgery) one year ago at EU Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. I am very happy about my result.

Hi, how long after 2 jaw can you remove the pins? May I also know your reason for removing the pins?

Hello,
I heard that pins can be removed after surgery 6 months – 2 years. After 2 years it will be hard to remove it.

Also, doctor said that it is not necessary to remove the pin since this is made of titanium and it’s not harmful to our body. But I wanted to remove it because I do not want to show it on X-ray and i can feel my pins which was uncomfortable to me.

Hey all,

I'll give a short introduction. I'm a 31 year old male, EU based, looking to travel to Korea for facial contouring - 2 jaw, chin, mandible, maybe v line - sometime in the (hopefully near) future.

I'm still at the researching stage and would appreciate your opinions on clinics to visit and what their prices are.

So far I was planning on approaching the following clinics for a consultation.

The Face Dental - good reviews, but conservative results so need to communicate clearly what result I want and if that's realistic/possible.
EU Dental - not many reviews but nice results and a bit more expensive than TFD.
DAPRS - expensive clinic, good results but bad management.
VIEW - unsure about View.
Regen - unsure about regen.

Im leaning towards EU dental at the moment but still at the early stages of my research. I saw one forum member here who went there and had a good result. Any one else have any experience with EU Dental.

Hello,
I am a current patient here at EU.
I had double jaw surgery at Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery one year ago. And just few days ago I had pin removal surgery here. I am still in Seoul now and going to laser treatment at EU everyday.

Most of all, I am so happy about I had very successful surgery here at EU. My result is very good and fixed all my problems. I am recovering very fast now. Since I am foreign patient here.
EU staff are very nice and helpful. They have fluent english speaking interpreter Kayala. Always helpful to me for anything. My Doctor Kim Jong Yun speaks english too. Thanks to everyone here. I am so happy and beautiful now

If you need more details please let me know. I will share.
Thanks
