Hello, I make this post to encourage people not getting DJS at the face Dental (dr Joongkyou Lee’s dental clinic)
Tfd was popular before, and I went there to get djs because of that.
I got the surgery some years ago now, and I finally decided to make a review.
i have to get revision now and it’s very hard for me. This surgery is expensive and invasive, I cannot be sure it will fix the problem with a revision.

First of all, the legend about dr lee not asking for review is wrong, he asked a review to me to get a 10% discount. I had to do it before getting surgery.
  1. When I woke from this surgery it was hell, the bed was not comfortable, and I was unable to breath correctly. When the swelling started I began to suffocate and had to ask help to nurses. The nurse at the face dental are rude as hell, they didn’t want to help me. I needed to breath by using a straw inside my mouth. Honestly I thought I would die..
  2. I finally survived, but was very tired, when I asked to dr lee to stay one more night he refused… I had to go home by himself during a hot summer. I almost died a second time…
  3. When I was home I felt good… this clinic traumatized me and I was happy to be home. But something was wrong with my mouth and I felt it. After several nights my lower jaw began to shift to the right side. And my bite was totally off. I sent several messages to dr lee who seemed to doesn’t care. It was hell because lower jaw always shifted to the right when I sneezed or slept.. it was really scary
  4. When I finally went back to the clinic and asked to dr lee about this he said there was nothing to worry about… which felt fake to me. I knew there was a problem and I couldn’t live like that. After watching the X-ray, I finally saw the lower and upper jaw was not aligned at all.
  5. I had to convince dr lee to do a revision on me because I couldn’t stay with a offset bite. He finally accepted. Getting another surgery one week after the first surgery is hell. I don’t know what kind of anesthesia he used but I had nightmares during two weeks. Worst anesthesia experience in my life
  6. I never knew what kind of movements he did to me jaw but my bite stopped to be unstable. However I was not able to breath correctly on one side of my nose. Swelling was terrible and I was not able to breath, I got in a deep depression.
  7. when back home I had to wait until a year to deflate and see the final results of the surgery, which are not good at all:
  8. -my face is no longer symmetrical, one side of my face look lower than other side, even my eyes looks assymetrical now..
  9. -my bite is still not good, I have difficulties to eat and speak
  10. -gum has been traumatized and now I have recession
  11. -not able to breath on one side of my nose, I did a nose surgery in my country but it didn’t fix it.
  12. -i also have memory problem now (from second surgery nightmare anesthesia ?)
  13. After consulting few surgeon, most told me they don’t understand what kind of movements dr lee did to me and it has no sense, apparently surgical cuts are very assymetrical and unprofessional. Since I have no surgical details it’s hard to reverse this botched surgery. They also told me I could have joints problems in some years because my jaw have been badly rotated. I had a long face and he did the opposite movements that have to be done.
    One surgeon even told me I was not the first one to complain about botched surgery from this Korean clinic, and he had a consultation with another girl.
  14. I will regret all my life and I hope people won’t do the same mistake.
  15. On this X-ray you can see the offset bite and uneven cut from this so called « surgeon ». I also add a picture of me, suffocating with my straw while nurses were chilling(imagine almost dying when nurse in front of you laugh and speak)

I'm so so sooooooooo sorry to hear about your experience. I know words from some online forumer cannot help you at all but I hope you'll figure out away to fix the problems. Did you go there around 2019-2020 because your username looks super familiar to me. TFD was so popular then, I also sent him a deposit and almost went there.

Yes..
i think a student or a ghost surgeon did the surgery because dr LEE seemed to not even know what kind of movements and surgery have been done to me.
It was scary.

where did you get your surgery ?

I ended up going to EU dental for my surgery, however I only did facial contouring so it probably wasn't as invasive as yours. If Dr. Lee used ghost doctor for you, it'd be so so so unethical of them as they always tried to build the image of a one-man clinic.

the legend about dr lee not asking for review is wrong
I can also second this because when I asked for the deposit back 2 days after, they just ignored me for days until I talked about seeking help from government resources and posting a review of how unpleasant the experience is. Only then did they reply and tell me they'll refund, please post a nice review. :confused1: I sure did not. Also even when they agree to refund, they made the refund process so uneasy :yucky: feel so sorry for you for having to go through everything with them.

Thanks for your kind words. I made this review to warn other girls because I still see some girls hesitant to go there…. Just don’t.
I also heard he ghosted some girls when they asked for deposit refund and even for surgery refund because they get botched.
He also ignored me a lot when I complained about my offset bite, I had to beg for a revision ?? My lower jaw was always shifting to the left when sleeping… and he said « no worry it’s normal », but I knew it was not.
 
I went to tfd in 2019. I'm so sorry that you are having these issues. As a result of my surgery, I have terrible TMJ. I hope you find the help you need for your situation, and please take care of yourself!

Thanks for your support girl, I remember your review.. I also have sagging now, i see it.
I didn’t know you had TMJ added to the sagging… that’s terrible.
I’m sorry about your situation, TMJ are such a pain.
I also have some pains sometimes but not sure it’s TMJ. This surgeon is a nightmare he botched so much girls. I hope his clinic will close soon.

Do you plan to get revision. ?
 
Wow he got so bad over the years.. when he was popular back then he seemed more caring and nicer when I went with him many years ago. But my chin still feels a bit sensitive and I never found out if it's because my body never got used to the titanium screw or something else. Sorry it happened to you.

Thanks for your support.
Im trying to deal with my mistake over the years and it’s the most difficult for me.
Im not sure to find a surgeon to help me for a revision, because i don’t know what kind of movements he did to my upper and lower jaw. It’s hard to reverse this surgery without these infos.
I also have a terrible chin now whith a huge bone gap. I need bone grafting apparently.

My chin is also very sensitive now, and uneven with skin and bone gaps.
I also have sagging.

Im not even sure to find one positive thing from this surgery.
I have esthetics and functional issues now.
