For reference, my weight was the same before and after contouring. Doesn’t it look like I lost a lot of weight after surgery? I did lose some because I couldn’t eat during recovery, but once I could chew, it came back quickly lol. So my actual weight is almost identical, but it’s amazing that my overall build can look smaller just because one facial bone became smaller. I used to have a large face and an average body shape, to the point that my nickname was Chupa Chups, but now the overall balance finally feels right. If you asked whether I would do contouring again, I would have said no in the early postoperative period. My face was swollen and tight, it hurt, I couldn’t eat properly, and I couldn’t immediately see a difference.. lol. But if you ask me now, I would say I’d do it even if I had to go through recovery again. Honestly, the uncomfortable period isn’t that long, and if I can live without worrying about my face shape semi-permanently, not doing it would be a loss lol. I had cheekbone reduction, long-curve mandibular contouring, and genioplasty, and I have no regrets about doing all three. At first I worried that my image would change too dramatically and wondered whether I should really do all three, but the doctor said my face was likely to look disproportionate without all three, so I did them. As you can see, if I had skipped even one, I probably wouldn’t have gotten this slender doll-like line.. lol. Anyway, it was bone surgery and the biggest surgery I’ve ever had, so I was scared and very nervous. But after doing it, it was no big deal. I’m not bragging and my memory isn’t beautifying it; looking at the result, it was worth doing lololol.
