I was stressed out because of my cheekbones and square jaw, so I kept worrying about it and eventually had surgery... After going to consultations at several places, I chose this one because the consultation style was the most comfortable, there was not a single bit of pushy recommending, and they explained best how reducing certain facial proportions would change the overall look. It felt like they paid great attention to the overall balance, and when I thought about post-op care and safety, this place matched best. On the day of surgery, honestly, I was really nervous, but the staff kept talking to me and making me feel comfortable, so I was at least a little less tense. After anesthesia, it felt like it was over quickly, and on the day itself my face was numb and my mouth felt uncomfortable, but it wasn’t as painful as I had feared. From day 1 to day 3, the swelling started and it was really hard, but I went to the hospital, had a CT scan, and got a progress check. There was a lot of swelling, and when they showed me the comparison with the pre-op CT, I could see the bone had been shaved, which was fascinating lol On the one-week mark, I had the stitches removed and started swelling care. That was the most uncomfortable period, but after the stitches came out, it got much easier. At the one-month mark, there was still some residual swelling in the cheek area, but I think the facial line was clearly more defined, and now at 3 months the residual swelling is going down and my satisfaction is definitely huge. The big swelling from contouring goes down faster than expected, but the remaining swelling really just needs time. I still have a little residual swelling left, but the surgery seems to have gone really well, so I’m very satisfied.

The director spoke to me with such confidence, like a fact-checking firehose. It was such a parade of plain truths that I couldn’t really argue back. My midface is fairly wide and long, and I also have a lot of facial volume, so my face…

I visited after seeing good impressions on YouTube. The hospital was not as big as I expected, and the director was just like on YouTube, very talkative and has a good aesthetic sense. What I found disappointing, though, was that I wish…

I had surgery 15 years ago, right after the college entrance exam was over. My eyes were very small, so I think I had the inner corner and outer corner cuts opened as much as possible and went with a semi-out look. So even now, the eye…

One reason I had surgery here was that although the doctor is not especially friendly, people said that once he operates on a patient, he takes responsibility all the way through. I liked that. They also said there is no time limit for…
