After having cheekbone surgery with a scalp incision at another hospital, I developed a lot of scar tissue on my scalp, cheekbones, cheeks, and lower face, and my face ended up looking long and swollen like a cucumber. In particular, the scalp area had become so hard that it would not move at all even when I tried to move it by hand. My scalp was swollen too, so my forehead looked longer as well... sigh... I was under so much stress that I could barely go to work. About a year after the cheekbone surgery, in frustration, I once called the doctor. After the call, I planned to visit the hospital, get my condition checked, and ask how long the scar tissue would take to heal. When I asked the doctor over the phone why the scar tissue still had not gone away and when it would disappear, the doctor got irritated, said that could not be possible, said another call was coming in, and just hung up on me. The same person who had been kind and confident before surgery, even writing a pledge that they would take 100 percent responsibility if any later side effects occurred...? That's how they handled the consultation by phone. About two and a half years after the cheekbone surgery, the scar tissue still had not loosened, so I visited Gojong-a Clinic and received scar tissue treatment. The affected area was so extensive that it took a lot of time and money, but the more treatment I got, the more I could see improvement and hope. In particular, the scalp, which had been rock-hard, started to move after one or two extracorporeal shock wave treatments. The midface and forehead, which had become long like a cucumber because of the scar tissue, also gradually began to shorten. There was scar tissue around the upper ear area where the mask strap passes, so every time I wore a mask that area was pulled tight and stung, but after getting a minus-fit injection, the scar tissue volume went down a lot and now it does not hurt even when I wear a mask. Because the scarred area was so extensive, the total cost was 10 million won, but I do not regret it. At the beginning, they said they would give a 50 percent discount if I agreed to release before-and-after photos, but I refused. If I had started treatment earlier, I would have suffered less physically and mentally... During that time, because of the scar tissue swelling, I, who live on food, had to become picky about what I ate, my stamina dropped, and social life became hard, so it was really tough. There is still some scar tissue left on my scalp now and maybe a little on my cheeks too, but it is not as severe as before, so I am getting by. If I win the lottery, I will get treatment again. Oh, and about 5 years ago, I once had two dissolvable thread-lift threads placed in my nasolabial folds at a Korean medicine clinic near Gangnam Station, and the dimples that were created then disappeared after receiving extracorporeal shock wave treatment.. Because I needed treatment for such a large area of scar tissue, it probably took more time and money, but if the scar tissue is in a localized area, I think it would be more effective.

I was glad that the director consulted with me in detail. They didn't seem to strongly recommend unnecessary things. The manager who handled the consultation also made things comfortable, so I could ask many questions about various things,

The director was very honest. They clearly said what could not be done could not be done, and what could be done could be done. But I hesitated a bit because some things that other places said were possible were said to be impossible here…
