A little while ago, I was looking at old photos and got shocked for a second lol. Before surgery, I didn't realize my face shape was this angular, but when I compared it to how it looks now, the difference was pretty big. I had contouring 3 types and cortical osteotomy done together by Director Lee Dong-hoon at The Pride Plastic Surgery. My whole face, from the cheekbones down to the lower face, naturally had a strong skeletal look, so rather than reducing just one area, I wanted the outer contour of my face to become smoother overall. It didn't feel dramatic right after surgery. When I was still swollen, I couldn't really tell, and all I could think was that I wanted the swelling to go down as soon as possible lol. But at some point, in front-facing photos, the empty space on both sides of my face started to look smaller. Now the line from the cheekbones down to the jaw looks softer than before, and the lower face definitely looks slimmer. Because I also had cortical osteotomy, the thickness around the jaw that I used to worry about feels more refined too. Personally, what I like most is that the face isn't sharp and artificial. My face looks smaller, but my original impression is still there, so this level of change is just right. In the past, if I tied my hair back, the bones of my face showed first, so I always had to leave my side hair down, but these days I just pull it back and go out lol. I worried a lot about the recovery when I was deciding on contouring, but looking at my face shape now, I'm glad I did it at The Pride. When I consulted with Director Lee Dong-hoon about contouring 3 types, I kept explaining the direction I wanted, and I feel like the result matched that feeling, so I'm satisfied!
