Two-jaw surgery (양악수술) recovery diary - anyone willing to share?

Two-jaw surgery (bimaxillary osteotomy) is one of the biggest facial surgeries, so your caution is healthy. A common recovery arc: the first 1–2 weeks involve significant swelling and a liquid/soft diet and limited jaw opening; weeks 3–4 you transition to soft foods and swelling becomes manageable; by 2–3 months you look largely normal, with fine settling and final bite stabilization over 6–12 months. Temporary numbness of the lower lip/chin is expected and usually recovers gradually. Some weight loss during the liquid-diet phase is common. Choose a hospital where this is a core specialty with orthodontic coordination, and confirm anesthesia and monitoring standards. Most patients with functional issues like underbite find it life-changing despite the hard recovery.

This is general information — an in-person consultation with a board-certified specialist is the only way to get advice tailored to your anatomy and goals.
