Before-before-before after-after Because of the nature of my job, I meet a lot of people, and I often heard that my first impression wasn’t good, so I think I worried for about ten years, since my 20s, about whether I should get plastic surgery. Back then, it wasn’t common for men to get plastic surgery, and I wondered if I was doing something unnecessary, so I hesitated. But these days, quite a few middle-aged men also get plastic surgery. I thought, “You only live once, so why worry about what others think!” and started looking into it seriously.
It was easy to find reviews from women and younger men, but it wasn’t easy to find reviews from people around my age. I was also so busy with work that it was hard to look into hospitals, and while my wife was actively searching for hospitals for me, I felt oddly bittersweet? hahaha I felt awkward going in and out of plastic surgery clinics alone, so I went to consultations with my wife. After thinking it over and over, I ended up having surgery with Director Oh Jae-yoon at a plastic surgery clinic with many male surgery cases. Actually, I had only been thinking about getting my eyes done, but my wife kept saying, “Since you’ve made up your mind, just doing your eyes won’t be enough for you…” -_- so I ended up doing a full renovation: eyes + nose + lifting. For my eyes, I had fat removal + ptosis correction + epicanthoplasty, and I also had bulbous nose correction + nasolabial angle correction, and even completed a midface lift. It was major work, so I think I was at the hospital almost all day. Maybe because it’s still only week 2, the swelling is quite significant. Still, the bruising seems to have gone down faster than I expected. I’m still a bit awkward wondering if this is really my face, but I think my wife likes it even more than I do. With a bit of exaggeration, she says I look more than 10 years younger. Is it similar to how men feel when they buy a new car? haha I and the people around me say I look like a different person, and I’m satisfied, but I don’t know how it looks to others. Director Oh really made one person be born anew. I’ll take good care of myself and leave reviews from time to time so this can be helpful to men around my age.
