I had my ASO surgery for protruding mouth, together with V-line and cheek bone reduction, at Zeah Dental last week. Although my face is very swelling at the moment, I can already tell it takes an oval shape. As someone learned so much from this forum, I would like to tell my surgery experience, hope to help who is out there thinking to have this surgery done in Korea.
I was born with big cheek bones and square jaws, practically no chin. Over the years, I’ve done square jaw reduction, and had a silicone chin implanted, having botox injected now and then to reduce my facial muscle. But I am never happy about my face, something is wrong, I don’t know why until this year. I suddenly realise my biggest problem is the protruding mouth, my mouth does stick out from the profile!
I started to research online, on doctors and surgery method, that’s when I came across this site. It’s very encouraging to see that many people who had the same problem as me before, and now are happy about the surgery result. I may need two jaw surgery, I think, and flew to Korea, where most people choose to have it done.
I arranged four consultations. The first doctor suggested two jaw surgery, the second suggested facial contour. I had my third consultation with Dr Kang at Zeah Dental. This clinic feels so different - people are happy here. A smiling girl from the front desk took my name, another smiling girl took my X ray, another smiling girl took some photos of me… Soon enough I sat down in front of Dr Kang, and told him my concerns with the help of an interpreter at Zeah. Dr Kang is a young man with bright laughter. He told me that I needed ASO surgery instead of two jaw surgery, because I have normal bite and my face is not excessively long. He then showed me a video on how the ASO is performed. Basically four teeth will be taken out, and the room made is used to bring back my front teeth. “I want to make you beautiful”, he said enthusiastically, “your face will be in the shape of an egg”. That’s exactly what I want to hear. I saw some before & after photos at the clinic and asked a few questions about Dr Kang. He has done more than 4000 surgeries and he is actually 45 years old (he looks like 35 at the most!)
I feel clicked with Dr Kang, I trust him and would like to have the surgery done at Zeah. Nevertheless, I still visited the fourth doctor, who also suggested me with ASO. I came back to Zeah as soon as I stepped out from the fourth hospital. The girls at Zeah were waiting for me, I had the CT scan, two sets of impression and then was sent to a nearby hospital for some blood test. I was told the surgery would be in two days and I should restrain from food and water from the night before.
