Hello everyone!

Wow it's been awhile since i logged on here but i just want to post an update since a lot of you guys has been sending me messages and questions asking for updates regarding my surgery.
I am now 4 months post surgery. My dentist is very happy with my bite and he was very impressed with my results. Actually, everyone at my dentist's office was so impressed that all the assistants wanted to see my bite. They know me as the patient who went to Korea for her surgery. lol
Anyway, i just want to share that during 2 months i was still very cautious on what types of food i choose to eat and during those times i still feel tingly sensation on top teeth and hard palate thats why i was scared to bite. This month, i finally ate sushi, tacos, pasta, sandwiches, etc.

So, if you are having this surgery it is good to know that RECOVERY is a PROCESS, you really have to be patient and even if it's difficult to see, keep observing, and appreciate your daily progress. Take pictures! that way you see how much change and how much improvement you had from the previous months. It's amazing to go back and see. If you guys have questions don't hesitate to message i will try to reply as quick as i can when life is not that crazy hehe! Here are some of my recent photos

Hello!

I totally agree with you! haha thats the first thing i thought to myself after the surgery. When i was still swollen i look like the "baby filter" on snapchat haha. Now, it's definitely better but i do think i look younger compared to my before which im not complaining about. I love love love my results. I asked for a natural result and i feel like i did not go overboard with what i wanted. My requests and expectations from my surgery definitely aligned with the results my surgeon gave me. Im forever thankful.

Your V line looks fantastic. I'm so excited to get my surgery too! And you are really the lucky one, almost no swelling

Thank you for sharing this. I'm getting v line and double jaw this spring, and I want to be mentally prepared for everything. I'm not a professional, but according to your scan the result looks nice! I've read thousands of reviews here and on realself about double jaw, and the recovery experience is so different depending on the person. Some people do blow up like a fish, and it takes a lot of time for swelling to get down. Speedy recovery!

As for functionality ussues,no I'm fine,i have assymetry after failed jaw shaving but i also have a long face and I've been told that double jaw with v-line will maximize the results!can i ask you where you're getting your surgery?

Then you better ask surgeon. Double jaw is a serious surgery, maybe you will be satisfied with V line surgery for chin and jaw. As for me I haven't decided yet. but I like results from ID Hospital and EU

Do you have problems with bite or asymmetry? If it's just for aesthetic wouldn't V line be enough? V line can make you look more feminine, and it's cheaper than double jaw. I'm going for both, but I wish I needed V line only

Hey, I'm curious if there any updated pictures? How is your swelling and diet?

July 29, 2019

I am interested in double jaw and v line. Anyone had experience with these surgeries? And what is a reasonable price if I get it done together?

July 25, 2019

Double jaw surgery will fix it. I also need it and I got recommendation on Eu, zeah, tfd, and ID clinics for double jaw. Still researching.

ohhh yay! I'm so excited for you. I remember how I felt when I finally scheduled my consultation and I had to book my flight to Korea. It was the best feeling and I felt like dreaming because I can't believe its happening. lol.

Thank you! I'm getting there, I can't wait for my cheeks to get smaller hehe.

Hello,

Ahhh thank you so much! I am sooo happy too! It just gets better everyday. and Ofcourse!! just ask anything and i will try to answer it the best i can, based on what i have learned and experienced. It’s true ID is known for face contouring and two jaw, and I know exactly how you feel!!!! So, i was really decided on doing this surgery this year because I’m a nursing student and I am graduating soon. I have this month to spare before i will get busy again for school. When i finally decided to go with ID, i watched almost all the videos, read all the reviews i could possibly read (Overwhelming), plus engaging with others who is planning to have a surgery and also reached out to whoever i can speak to that had the same surgery at ID. You can see a lot of negativity around this surgery in general, but the truth is when i did my research you will notice that those negative comments where outdated and there is a lot of competition here that you almost always see someone badmouthing big hospitals. So, i did more research and found an article from NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) a part of United States National Library of Medicine. Credible and is a good resource when it comes to medical stuff. I use it in school when i we do evidence based researches. Two jaw is a common procedure that’s been around for many years and is done all over the world i just think korea is really the best place to go. I felt comfortable with ID and especially my doctor because when i did my research I have learned that doctor’s there really puts time and effort to advanced their knowledge and skills and they even published a book to share all the knowledge about it and they perform symposiums to teach about all of this stuff. To answer your question about no tie or tie, In my case my doctor had to tie because of my bone. my bone is thin than its a safe approach to do tie for me. I had braces before but braces never fixed my bite and trust me i had a couple orthodontist in US and did braces twice and in my mind I just want them to recommend surgery but in US unless your case is really bad thats the only time the insurance will cover surgery. I have to do braces after because i have gaps in my teeth. Dr. Lee also fixed the positioning of my upper teeth mine was slightly slanted upward before and he fixed that too. Before i had edge to edge bite now the upper teeth is in front and lower at the back. So, the doctor will analyze your case but i think if they can do no tie for you it will be their first approach. I love my smile!!! I still have elastics in my mouth right now but i can already tell the difference il post a picture which you can see the difference if you look at my lips and chin and the way i smile but im a bit swollen still i just had my surgery 3 weeks ago hehe.

Have you had experience with any of these clinics?

July 18, 2019

Hello! I have recenly found this forum, and it seems that there are a lot of plastic surgery experienced members here. I am really confused, so I'd like to know what others (especially Americans who travelled to Korea for ps) think about it:

Is it better to undergo double jaw surgery in Korea or in the US?

I have a chance to get a surgery covered by insurance in the United States. On the other hand, I like the idea of travelling to Korea for a surgery cuz the results of Korean surgeons look amazing, I would say even more impressive than the one I saw from Americans.
Any ideas? Is it worth travelling to Korea for double jaw? Has anyone got double jaw in Korea recently? Thank you!
