I struggled with a protruding jaw and the malocclusion that came with it. On top of that, the center of my face looked sunken, which made me hate showing my side profile. Once I decided on surgery, I even deleted all my old photos because I couldn’t stand looking at them. Since my parents were helping with the surgery, choosing a place that both they and I could trust was important. Safety was the top priority, so we carefully checked things like hospital size, how many surgeries were done per day, and whether anesthesiology support was available. I personally wanted a natural-looking result, so I paid close attention to before-and-after photos in reviews. My parents, on the other hand, trusted the surgeon’s background, including experience at a university hospital. That’s how we decided on this hospital. Now, I honestly feel like I’ve been reborn. During recovery, I naturally adjusted my eating habits, which also helped with dieting, and I’ve been getting a lot of compliments from people around me. When I look in the mirror, I feel satisfied, and hearing positive feedback has noticeably boosted my confidence.
