This is a two-month contouring review! I had contouring type 2, zygoma, mini V chin, anterior chin advancement, and cortical osteotomy with Director Park Jong-rim at Sam Sa O, and I'm going to leave my 2-month review. In my daily life, my side cheekbones stood out a lot and my overall face shape felt dull and wide, which was stressful. Especially when taking photos, the part that bothered me most was that my face looked unusually big. My chin tip also felt short and blunt, so I decided to have surgery because I wanted a softer, more refined facial line. I visited many hospitals while looking around and consulting, and at Sam Sa O they advised me in a direction that would suit my face shape naturally rather than making it feel overly small, which made me trust them. Also, they explained the CT and the surgical direction in great detail, which reassured me. I looked up many reviews too, and chose them because the before-and-after difference looked the most natural and the recovery course looked good. Right after surgery, in the early period it was about as swollen as after a wisdom tooth extraction?? and then especially during weeks 2 to 4, the swelling in the front cheek and deep cheek area peaked the most, making my face look big and unfamiliar, so mentally it was hard too... At first I worried a lot, 'What if my face stays like this?!' But thankfully, as time passed, the swelling gradually went down and I could feel my facial line becoming more defined. Especially after a month, the major swelling had gone down a lot, and even in photos it felt much more refined than before! Now, at 2 months, my jawline and facial line are becoming more natural, and my side cheekbones have also been smoothed out nicely, so I'm satisfied. I took care of myself really diligently after surgery haha In the beginning I worked hard on cold compresses and walking, and to manage swelling I drank a lot of water and tried to avoid salty foods as much as possible. After 2 weeks I kept doing warm compresses too, and avoided foods that required too much chewing! At the one-month mark I also slowly did mouth-opening exercises in parallel so my jaw muscles wouldn't stiffen. People around me often say my overall vibe has become much softer, and as my face became more refined I was told my image looks more feminine and sophisticated. Especially, I hear a lot that photos come out much better. The part I'm most satisfied with after surgery is that my facial line has been naturally and beautifully refined. Before, my cheekbones and jaw made my face look bigger and my impression seemed rough, but now it feels much softer and smoother, so I'm highly satisfied. Of course, during recovery I worried a lot because of the swelling, but as time passes I'm seeing it get better and better, so I think I made the right decision to have the surgery ‼
