It has been 1 month since my mom had a Forest facelift. She seemed to have more sagging in her face than my friends' moms, so I had wanted to get it done for her for a while. Then one of my mom’s friends had a very successful surgery, so we went through that introduction and booked the operation right away. I liked the point that it lifts down to the cellular level, and I also felt reassured that the chief director, who has a lot of experience, only does one surgery a day. The pre-op explanation was also thorough, which helped with preparation. Still, since it was my mom’s first facial surgery, she was nervous from several days before, but on the day of surgery the staff took good care of her kindly, so it went fairly comfortably. Before surgery they did a lot of things for cellular lifting, and when I watched my mom go in after the design process, I was so nervous I almost cried... Right after surgery, there was swelling and tightness, so her face looked very puffy, but starting the next day the swelling gradually went down and the facial line began to look different. For about a week, she had trouble opening her mouth to eat and could not wash her hair, so she kept saying she should not have had the surgery, but after about 2 weeks, eating became easier and the swelling went down a lot, so she started smiling more often and looking in the mirror more often too. The hospital’s aftercare system was better than I expected, which seems to have helped recovery. Because they also did cellular lifting, fine lines and facial elasticity improved too, so now she is satisfied, talks on the phone with her friends often, and has become more lively. The only disappointing part was that different staff members gave slightly different instructions after surgery, so it was confusing and I had to check multiple times. Since they lifted the cells and also removed fat, her face became smaller and the skin elasticity itself improved, and because it was pulled naturally without changing her eyes, nose, or mouth, she looks younger in a natural way. So far she is satisfied and the reaction from people around her has been pretty good. For older people, facelift surgery seems to be much more effective than repeating lasers or various procedures, and it may be a good option for people who care about experienced surgeons and systematic care.
