For a long time, the thing that stressed me out the most was how wide my face looked.My cheekbones and square jaw were prominent too, but my chin was short and blunt, so from the front my face looked even wider and more uneven.Before I got married, my husband told me that face shape was part of my charm, but I kept noticing it every time I took photos or looked in the mirror.Then, after seeing how upset I was about my face shape, my husband suggested surgery as an anniversary gift, and since it was something I'd been thinking about for a long time, I started looking into clinics.At first my husband and I searched together, but since it was a major surgery, I ended up carefully comparing reviews and the surgeons' experience myself.Then I learned about Director Lee Ji-hyeok at this hospital, which had a lot of facial contouring reviews, and since it seemed like he had extensive experience with facial bone surgery, I went for a consultation.I went with my husband, and the director explained step by step why my face looked so wide. Looking at the CT, he showed in detail how developed the cheekbones and square jaw were and where the nerve line was, and said that rather than simply reducing face width, it was important to balance the overall proportions.He said that because my chin length was short and my chin tip was blunt too, if only the cheekbones and square jaw were refined, the lower-face proportion might feel a bit lacking.So he said the chin tip also needed to be naturally refined for the face to look overall slimmer and more balanced, and that's why I decided on a three-part facial contouring surgery.After surgery, in the early period there was swelling, so I couldn't really tell how the face line would turn out, and the recovery process was not as easy as I had expected.Eating carefully and waiting for the swelling to go down felt long, but as the major swelling came down and even the minor swelling slowly settled, I started to see the face line change.The part I'm most satisfied with is that rather than my face becoming simply pointy, the overall facial area looks naturally reduced.The cheekbones that used to spread outward were refined, and the square jaw line softened too, so my impression looks much cleaner than before.My chin tip, which used to look short and blunt, was also refined to fit my facial proportions, so from the front my face looks longer and slimmer than before.The line from the chin tip to below the ears also became smoother, so when I take photos my face doesn't feel like it's filling the frame as much as before.My husband was very worried at first about the surgery and recovery, but as the swelling went down he said the face line was becoming more natural and that it looked like a good decision.I also feel satisfied every time I look in the mirror now, because where I used to notice the cheekbones and sharp jaw first, now I see the refined face line first.I'm grateful to my husband for encouraging me to go through with the surgery as an anniversary gift after I'd worried about it for so long, and since the face area and proportions were refined without going overboard just as I wanted, I feel glad I had the surgery
