I had exactly one goal for facial contouring: I openly said I did not want just a subtle, natural refinement—I wanted my face to look obviously smaller and slimmer to anyone who saw me, lol. I already had a somewhat prominent bone structure, and fat around my jaw made my lower face look even heavier T_T. Since I was making a major decision anyway, I wanted a definite change, so I had three-part facial contouring and cortical osteotomy with Dr. Lee Dong-hoon at The Pride, along with double-chin and jawline liposuction. Honestly, seeing the swelling at first left me stunned... 😶 I had surgery to make my face smaller, so I wondered why it looked even bigger lol. Still, I expected that part, so I waited it out. After some time, I understood why they tell you to be patient. From the front, the overall width from the cheekbones to the lower face was clearly reduced, and the line became slimmer toward the chin. I also personally think doing liposuction at the same time was a good choice. I disliked the idea of only reducing the bones while leaving fullness under the chin or along the jawline, and removing that fat too made the outer contour of my face much clearer ✨ When I put the before-and-after photos side by side, rather than one particular area looking different, it felt like the entire facial framework had been reduced, which I like best. I was someone who prioritized a dramatic change over naturalness from the start, lol, so I feel secretly very proud when people around me say my face has really gotten smaller... haha. Recovery was not easy because I combined various procedures with the three-part contouring, but looking at the result, I am highly satisfied that I have come fairly close to the small, slim face I wanted 🫶
