My Korean Jaw Surgery at CDU Plastic Surgery: A Detailed Recovery Diary

This was my biggest fear. I wasn't just looking for a skilled surgeon; I was looking for a clinic with a rock-solid post-operative support system. After intense research, I chose CDU Plastic Surgery. This is my brutally honest, day-by-day diary of the recovery process.

Let's be blunt: the idea of getting jaw surgery in a foreign country is terrifying. It's not the surgery itself that scared me the most. It was the after. What happens when I'm back in my hotel room, swollen, in pain, and can only drink liquids? Who do I call?

The Consultation: Planning for a Smooth Recovery

My consultation at CDU was different. Yes, we discussed the surgical plan with 3D-CT scans. But we spent just as much time talking about the recovery. The surgeon and coordinator laid out a detailed week-by-week plan, covering everything from my diet to medication schedules and de-swelling treatments. They didn't sugarcoat it; they prepared me for the reality of it, which paradoxically made me feel much safer.

The "Lifeline" That Made It Bearable

Even with a great plan, I knew I'd be anxious. This is where Chatdoc, the service I used to book everything, became my lifeline.

• 1:1 Dedicated Coordinator: Through Chatdoc, I had a single point of contact. At 2 AM, when I was worried about my swelling, I didn't have to call a generic hospital line. I messaged my dedicated coordinator, and got a reassuring, professional response.
• Transparent, All-Inclusive Pricing: My quote from Chatdoc included not just the surgery, but all the necessary post-op care. There were no surprise bills. This financial clarity was a huge mental relief.
• A Trusted Advocate: My Chatdoc interpreter was with me not just for the main consultation, but for the post-op check-ups too, ensuring even my smallest concerns were addressed.

The Verdict: It Was Tough, But I'd Do It Again.

I won't lie, the first week was tough. But having a clear plan and a dedicated support system made all the difference. I'm now a few months post-op, and the results are better than I could have imagined. My profile is more balanced, and my bite is corrected.

If you're considering jaw surgery in Korea, look beyond the before-and-after photos. Ask them about their recovery plan. For me, the combination of CDU's meticulous system and Chatdoc's dedicated support was the only way I could have gone through with this.
