I was a truly square-faced girl! My cheekbones and square jaw were both developed. Other people already have smooth face shapes and still go for contouring, but from my perspective, their before-surgery faces were basically my ideal type lol? So the before-and-after difference is quite large. I lived thinking my angular face had its own charm, but at some point I started wanting a more feminine and softer image, and I think that led me to surgery. I always had a somewhat charismatic and refined (?) image no matter what I did.. After the surgery, for the first time in my life, I even heard that I looked like a high school student I am in my late 20s for reference. First of all, my impression after surgery is that I am extremely satisfied A month later, the bruises that had been sitting there and not really going away are all gone, and I can definitely feel that the swelling has decreased a lot! (The big bruises fade in about 2 weeks and become easy to cover with makeup, so keep that in mind.) The swelling moved downward, so for now I only still have swelling around the chin area, and other people do not even know I had surgery What I like even more than that is the cheekbones. Once the cheekbones became smoother, I looked younger and my face looked smaller. If you are interested in contouring, you have probably heard at least once that if the jaw angle is removed, the bone and skin will hang loose, right? As someone who also worried about whether to get contouring because of that, let me say this: the doctor said all of that was groundless Ribs are already dead, right? We are living organisms with cells actively alive. So when they open things up again during revision surgery, they say it is attached even more tightly~ People like me with square faces will understand, but it is hard to find a hat that suits you, and when you see photos taken by other people, only the lower face looks huge, and especially when your hair is down it looks extremely stuffy, right. Now I can buy and wear whatever hat I want, and I am trying to change my style to match my new image. I really like this kind of change.. Once the swelling goes down a little more, I am going to get a bob haircut too!! They say the hardest thing about contouring is the general anesthesia because you also need tracheal intubation. But the hospital I went to allowed sedation anesthesia, so recovery was really fast! 👍🏻 People say a lot of people choose this hospital because of the sedation anesthesia. Also, I originally wanted to do this at a mid-sized hospital since it was a major surgery, but after trying a solo-practice hospital, I could tell they really provide close, one-on-one care, so there is definitely a reason they are more expensive than factory-style hospitals. In the operating room, the doctor discussed the image I wanted with me until the very end and told me not to worry, which really put me at ease. When I told a friend who works at a factory-style hospital, she was shocked They even displayed the before-and-after photos I personally edited on the TV in the operating room for reference, so they seem incredibly meticulous. What surprised me most during the consultation was that nowadays everyone keeps the area under the ear angle, right? I also naturally thought that was what I should do, and other hospitals also said they would leave it without much comment. But Director Bae Ji-yeong was the first to tell me that because my chin is short and my ears are positioned low, not leaving the under-ear angle would absolutely not create a square jaw, and that if I wanted the slim angle I was after, this would actually look better! I am so glad I trusted the doctor and went ahead exactly as advised. At another hospital, looking at my photos, they said I seemed a bit asymmetrical. But there, the doctor instantly said that was normal and that I was on the less-asymmetrical side, while Director Bae Ji-yeong looked at the CT and immediately said that I do have asymmetry, and that she adjusts the surgery by different millimeters for the left and right sides, which increased my trust. She even showed me the edited photos with those different mm adjustments. Apparently they actually use that during surgery. Anyway, this is almost sounding like praise poetry, but that just shows how satisfied I am, so look at my before-and-after photos and judge for yourself~ I marked the cheekbone and square-jaw changes for the 45 view. The swelling at the chin tip is still not fully gone, so please keep that in mind when looking. Check the caption below the post for hospital info. If you have more questions, leave a comment and I will let you know! Still, you know that cosmetic surgery always has to be done carefully, right? I hope everyone succeeds and becomes beautiful~~
