I’ve always had prominent side cheekbones and 45-degree cheekbone protrusion, plus severe left-right asymmetry, so my face looked fierce and it stressed me out a lot. I wanted a permanent improvement instead of a temporary procedure, so I looked into facial contouring surgery. Since it’s bone surgery, I prioritized safety above all else. Among the hospitals with CCTV recording and viewing available, an anesthesiology specialist on site, and dantrolene stocked in case of malignant hyperthermia, I chose Ark Plastic Surgery, where Dr. Kwon Soon-beom specializes in contouring and double jaw surgery. During the consultation, the doctor didn’t just focus on reducing the cheekbones, but showed real detail by applying different surgical methods according to my degree of left-right asymmetry. I trusted the explanation about balancing the overall face shape, and the manager also carefully explained the precautions before surgery and post-op care. I came alone on the day of surgery and was discharged the same day, and because the hospital atmosphere was warm, kind, and not cold at all, I was able to finish the surgery without feeling scared or lonely.- Swelling by week1 week: Swelling throughout the temples, side cheekbones, philtrum, and cheeks2 weeks: After stitch removal and follow-up care, swelling in the temples, side cheekbones, and philtrum went down a lot (cheeks remained)3 weeks: After follow-up care, the cheekbone swelling went down and I felt a slight sagging in the cheeks4 weeks: The sagging feeling disappeared and even the side-cheek swelling was neatly resolvedNow at week 4, the big swelling has all gone down, so the line is so neatly refined that I wonder if it can get any smaller from here. More than anything, the asymmetry and cheekbone protrusion that made me look fierce have been corrected, and my impression has truly become softer. If you’re looking for a place with both safety systems and contouring expertise, I recommend Ark.
