I used to have noticeable jaw asymmetry, and because of that, people often asked if I was upset or in a bad mood. I had injured my facial bones when I was younger, so I was also worried about whether surgery would even be safe for me. During the consultation, I asked a lot of questions and made quite a few specific requests. The doctor answered everything clearly and directly, without avoiding difficult points. That honesty actually helped me feel calmer going into surgery. There were both medical and cosmetic reasons for the procedure, and in that sense, I don’t regret the decision. That said, this is not something to take lightly—it’s a major surgery, and I wouldn’t recommend approaching it casually. Recovery wasn’t easy. I’m sensitive, and I experienced trigeminal nerve pain for a couple of months. The swelling lasted a long time, and the after-pain was harder than expected. Still, as time passed, things settled, and now I feel relieved that I endured it. The nurses were all kind, and the doctor’s steady guidance made a big difference. What I trusted most was the clear communication—what was possible and what wasn’t was explained honestly. Nearly two years later, my face feels more balanced and refined overall.
