It has already been eight months since I had facial contouring surgery at [Clinic A]! Time really flies. Now that I am at eight months, it has become so natural that I practically live forgetting that I even had surgery! Chewing and eating are completely normal, of course, and all sensation has returned, so there is absolutely no discomfort!!
Most of all, what satisfies me the most is that after lateral cheekbone surgery, even the residual swelling completely went down and the contour settled cleanly as if it were truly my own facial bone. Comparing before and now, I realized there had still been subtle residual swelling back then. Now my facial contour is slimmer and smoother, so I love my side profile even without using a photo-editing app T_T!
When I looked up reviews of lateral cheekbone surgery, my biggest worry was, what if it looks noticeably hollowed out or unnatural? But perhaps because it was reduced naturally by exactly the necessary amount, people I meet these days have no idea I had surgery! They simply ask whether I lost weight, or assume my face shape was naturally small and pretty. The double-chin area that I had treated at the same time has also adhered neatly along my jawline by eight months, so it feels like it has clearly refined even the empty space in my side profile.
The result now is 200% satisfying—enough to completely forget the difficult moments of being careful with food and recovering early after surgery. I deliberated a lot before deciding, but I really feel I did well to carefully choose a place that is good at refining facial contours! If anyone is deliberating over cheekbone surgery or is going through recovery, please wait patiently: after six months, the contour settles beautifully! I hope everyone recovers safely and beautifully, haha.
