One-month review of the mini deep plane lift I had done for my mom as a filial-duty procedure

This time, my eldest sister’s wedding was coming up, so we had a big event where family members and acquaintances would all gather together for the first time in a long while. But as the wedding date got closer, my mom kept looking in the mirror and worrying, saying, “It’s my daughter’s wedding, what if I’m the only one who looks too old?” She used to ask me all the time whether Mom looked really old, and even though I always said no, her cheeks were sagging downward and her smile lines were deepening, so she definitely looked more tired and down than before, which honestly made me sad too Mom has never really liked taking photos, so I had to dig up an old pre-surgery photo from ages ago and bring it with me She’s always had a bit of fullness in her face, but as she got older, the fat in the deep cheeks and beside the mouth drooped downward, and even under the chin there was overlapping skin, so her whole face looked heavy. In the past she had tried fillers for the smile lines because they bothered her, and she’d also had thread lifting a few times, but she said the smile-line filler bulged out and stood out more visibly, and the thread lifting only seemed okay at first before it quickly started sagging again So this time, my older sister and I decided to properly look into it, and I divided the search work between me, who mainly used Gangnam Unni, and my sister, who focused on Naver Cafe Then we found reviews from people with face fat and sagging similar to my mom’s, and booked a consultation with Dr. Kwon at ㅇㅇㄷ, then the three of us went together. During the consultation, I brought up all the concerns I had on behalf of my mom, and he said that in cases like my mom’s, where the cheeks have already sagged downward a lot, it’s necessary to lift the sagging tissue from the inside rather than just pulling the outside with fillers or threads. But if you just keep pulling indiscriminately while the face still has fullness, the line could look dull, so he explained that combining a mini deep plane lift to hold up the sagging areas with liposuction for the deep cheek fat and the double chin would make things much cleaner! He didn’t have an atmosphere of pushing extra procedures either, and only talked about the parts needed to match my mom’s face shape and skin type, so after the consultation my mom said she wanted to do it too So my sister and I decided to use the money we had saved in our shared fund to get her this filial-duty procedure. It’s been about a month since the surgery now, and the first thing that catches my eye is that the middle of her face, which had been drooping downward, now feels like it has lifted upward overall. In particular, from the front, the deep cheek fat that had been bulging downward next to the mouth got tidied up, and from the side the double chin under the jawline was also treated together, so her jawline looks much smoother and lighter than before The smile lines that had looked deeply shadowed and the sagging in the front cheeks have softened a lot too, and because it doesn’t feel like the skin was just forcibly pulled, it looks like everything has naturally moved back to where it should be, which I liked even more! Since it’s only been a month, there’s still a little residual swelling, but every time Mom looks in the mirror she says her face looks different and gets really happy A while ago she went to a gathering, and her friends kept asking where she got treated because her facial line looked prettier. There’s still a little time left before my sister’s wedding, so once that final bit of swelling goes down by then, I think it’ll look much more natural than it does now Of all the things my sister and I did this year, getting our mom a lift is probably the best thing we did On the wedding day, I think Mom will be the prettiest after my sister
