- First, the reason I decided on facial contouring surgery was that I was always dissatisfied with how broad and flat my face looked whenever I took photos, and when people first saw me, I had received feedback that my first impression looked strong, and that rather than a feminine image, I looked masculine, so I decided to have surgery to improve that. I had always been unhappy with my face shape, so I tried dieting, InMode, Shurink, facial contouring injections, Liftera, and many other lifting treatments, and I also tried an M-shaped forehead hair transplant, but none of them were a fundamental solution. I had already received surgeries and procedures for my eyes, nose, mouth, and forehead, but I judged that to have a feminine image, a soft face shape had to come first.
-So I started researching online first, and my own criteria for choosing a hospital were 1. Plastic surgery specialist 2. One-director clinic 3. A hospital specializing only in facial contouring 4. Whether the director would reflect my requests as much as possible 5. An anesthesiology specialist on site 6. Whether they would listen well to my questions without dismissing them 7. Whether the director could create a natural but glamorous line
After narrowing it down and narrowing it down, and after going to consultations at a total of 10 hospitals rumored to be famous for facial contouring over 2 months, I met Director Kwon Jae-hyun, who matched all of the list above. I told the director the face shape I wanted (like actress Shin Se-kyung), and he explained in as much detail and as kindly as possible which areas should be operated on and how for that. Honestly, while going around to 10 consultations, I met quite a few directors who ignored the patient’s questions and tried to do things their own way, but the only person who listened to each of my requests and carefully told me which areas would be good to improve was Director Kwon Jae-hyun!
-I went alone for the surgery, but even immediately after surgery, everyone at the hospital took such good care of me that I was able to have the surgery without any problems. Right after surgery, Director Kwon, Manager Hwang Sung-won, the anesthesiology director, the operating room nurseㅡ, the on-duty nurse, and even the counter managers all came by and carefully cared for me, asking whether anything hurt, whether anything was difficult, and whether I needed anything, so I was very grateful. In particular, even after Director Kwon Jae-hyun finished his last surgery, he came by again and brought me an ion drink, and even though I was in pain and out of it, I was genuinely moved Even if I had to have surgery again, I would definitely do it at Soda. On the first day, I didn’t have much swelling, but from the second day, the swelling slowly started to come up. But Director Kwon must have operated so delicately that there weren’t many bruised areas either (I think his hand skills are that good), and by one week, a lot of the bruising had gone down, so I went home on day 8, and none of my family members knew I had surgery. People who have actually had surgery will genuinely relate to this part. You’ve probably seen in reviews that when directors rummage around roughly during surgery, the swelling and blood bruising are tremendous, but Director Kwon doesn’t touch unnecessary areas, and just like his personality, he seemed to operate delicately and carefully, cleanly doing only the necessary parts. For food, until about day 3 I only ate liquid foods, but in between I also soaked things like castella in milk to eat, and until week 3, I mainly ate soft foods. For swelling care, I consistently took the 3-piece set of swelling-control medication and walked 2 hours every day, so the major swelling went down quickly. The radiofrequency care provided by the hospital was also very helpful. Warm compresses often also help a lot with swelling. Now that I’m at 3 months, unless it’s extremely hard food or something like a hamburger that requires opening my mouth wide, I can eat most foods. I was really worried about when I’d be able to chew food, but time solves it all, so please don’t worry too much!!
-My satisfaction with the surgery is the highest. As I said above, even if I could go back, I would choose Soda Plastic Surgery. There is still candy swelling, but since my face shape has definitely changed, my masculine image has changed a lot into a gentle, mild image, and because the line looks soft from any angle, I’m satisfied when taking photos too. I also had forehead fat grafting done at the same time, and because I was so worried I might end up looking like a dinosaur, he repeatedly reassured me he would make it as natural as possible, and in reality he made it natural and pretty, so these days I hear so often that my forehead is pretty. An unexpected effect? If I had known in advance that face shape could influence a person’s image this much, I regret that I should have done it sooner, even a little younger And because of the fat grafting, I also had stitches on my thigh, and the director personally checked and removed the stitches on my face and inside my mouth one by one, while for an area that could feel a bit embarrassing, like the inner thigh, a female nurse removed them, and seeing that, I really think Soda is the only hospital that provides such detailed care. I’ve had quite a lot of cosmetic surgery, and once surgery is done, there are really many places where aftercare is terrible, and there were hospitals where I barely even saw the director’s face properly after surgery, but at Soda, consultation-surgery-aftercare-progress checks all went through the director, so I felt that I was being cared for that much. The hospital facilities are clean themselves, with no unnecessary routes, and rather than a cold-feeling large hospital, it has a cozy and comfortable atmosphere, so even the moment I lay down on the operating table, I didn’t feel very nervous and felt comfortable. From satisfaction with the surgery to the hospital facilities, the information desk managers, the people in charge of aftercare, and the operating room nurses, everyone cared for me, consulted with me, and operated on me so kindly that I wondered how they could be this kind, so these days I’m strongly recommending to friends around me that if they’re going to have facial contouring surgery, they should definitely go to Soda. If my family or my daughter were to have surgery, I think I would tell them to go to Soda. That’s how trustworthy it is and how high my satisfaction is, so I have absolutely no regrets about my choice haha Since facial contouring is a major surgery, I hope you do it somewhere safe with reliable aftercare like Soda!!♥
