That’s me too. My body weight is normal, but all the fat seems to go straight to my face, so people around me always assumed I weighed 5 to 10 kg more than I actually do, which was incredibly stressful;; When I diet, everything else loses weight except my face, and even things like gua sha or lifting bands that are trendy these days only seem to work for a moment? They had zero lasting effect, so I ended up getting surgery.
I visited five well-known clinics for facial liposuction, and of course every diagnosis is different from person to person, but what I felt after hearing the explanations was that you can’t get an ideal jawline just by removing the fat on your face;; For someone like me, to improve a double chin, you can’t just remove fat. You have to improve the root issues, which are fat, salivary glands, and muscle, all at once to see the effect of surgery.
Among the places I visited, the new surgeon gave the least unnecessary explanation and spoke a bit bluntly... but that also meant they only told me the realistic parts, so I ended up getting step 1 of the turtle-neck contouring surgery plus correction of the platysma band. On the day of surgery I was so nervous that I briefly regretted saying I’d do everything;; but now that two months have passed, I really think I made the right choice to follow the surgeon’s advice.
On the day itself, because of the skin tightness and swelling, I couldn’t tell whether it had turned out well or not. After about a week, I could slightly lift the area just above the chin. That’s when I started to feel satisfied. Around one month later, the swelling had gone down quite a bit and my jawline became visible.
And maybe because the clinic also took care of aftercare, once the first period passed, the things I had to worry about dropped a lot, which was nice. By two months, as you can see in the photo, the boundary between the jaw and neck had become clear, so I’m much more satisfied now and can go about daily life with almost no discomfort.
If you’re stressed for similar reasons, I recommend at least going for a consultation..
