Hello everyone,
I am a Mom from China, my son did the two jaw + V line surgery on April this year in Seoul, and I would like to share the experience with you and help those who have the same problems as my son.
1, My story
I have to say it was my fault that brought my son such a big trouble, I should not follow doctor’s advices to agree him with GH injection at his 14 years old in order to get higher height. After 1 year injection I found his face turned asymmetric, right side is bigger than the left. We stopped the injection immediately, but we could not get his normal face back. My son was suffering this for 3 years, because he can only take a surgery to change this after 18 years old. during his high school period, he never took a photo, seldom hanged out with friends, I knew all his upset ,stress and unhappiness, but I could do nothing at that moment, we felt miserable . The only thing we could do is to wait for his 18 years coming. And the day finally came.
I started the investigation and research for this surgery since middle 2015, I checked 3 famous hospitals in China, but I did not choose them because they told me it would take at least 1 and half year or more to straighten teeth before surgery, it is too long, my son would go to college this year and I want him to have a new life in a new place. So I turned to seek for Korean hospitals. I checked a lot on web and also asked my friends in Seoul to help. Finally I chose 6 hospitals to visit on Oct.2015, they are all famous in Korea, Zeah Dental was the 3rd one I visited, after I met Dr.Kang Young Ho, I almost decided to take the surgery here, he is so professional and specialized in 2 jaw surgery, discussed all the details with us and made inspections for my son right now, and I saw real successful cases there, they were the staff of Zeah Dental, Dr. Kang has made surgeries for his 10 staff already, I was encouraged so much.
I did not visit the left 3 hospitals but make consultations on the web, after that I decide to choose Zeah Dental definitely. Because: the other 5 hospitals said it’s not necessary to straighten teeth before surgery, they can do the surgery immediately, and suggested him to straighten the teeth after surgery. This is absolutely wrong way for my son, and I know most failure cases were from non-straightening teeth before surgery. According to my research, surgery is easy and fast, but correct bite is difficult and takes time. I heard a lot of failure cases, they got incorrect bite after surgery, that’s a disaster.
Dr. Kang explained all the details to us very carefully, which matched my research exactly, and I saw real example (his staff) there, so I became to believe in him .
2,surgery procedures:
1) Start Straightening teeth on Dec.7 2015
2) Surgery on Apr.5 2016 (2 Jaw +V line)
3) Staying at hospital for 3 days (2 nights), left hospital on Apr.7
It was really a hard time (1 week after the surgery), my son can only communicate with me by writing on board, he can only drink liquid food within 1 week, nose obstruction, and swell. Swell was coming from the third day, on the 7th day came to the biggest, and then started lightening.
My son told me that the nose obstruction was the hardest thing, then throat block and swell. A little bit pain but can stand. Everything became better after 1 week.
4) Back to hospital for checking every week, staying in Seoul for a month.
3,words to Doctor Kang and Zeah Dental
I think no words can express my appreciations to Dr.Kang, but I still want to say something, my friend in Seoul once told me you are one of the best doctors in this field(2 Jaw+V line) , now I can say that’s absolutely true, and you are the best in my heart, you saved my son’s face and also saved his life in the mean time. He is very happy with his new face now, starts to smile , hanging out with friends, taking photos etc. , our family are very grateful. You have a top team, they treat us as family members, taking very good care of us, although it was a hard time during hospital period, but we received your encourage , help and friendship. we will never forget you all ! never forget the time staying with you! Love you all forever!
4, Suggestions to those who want to make the same surgery
1) Straightening teeth is very important. Most people need to straighten teeth before surgery, remember to follow Dentist’s advices. Don’t take a risk to overlook this.
2) Communication with your doctor is the key of a successful surgery. We had a good communications with Zeah Dental, most of time my friend translated for us between Chinese and Korean, sometimes we also use English, because some words are too professional that my friend can not understand well. Anyway , find your own way to communicate well.
3) 2-jaw surgery is a big surgery, Doctor’s professional is the most important thing, don’t care much a bout the size of the hospital, specialized doctor in this field should be considered first.
