Forehead Lift and Volume SMAS Lift

Before <front view before surgery> Before <side view before surgery> Before <front view after surgery> Before <side view after surgery> I had a forehead lift and a volume SMAS lift. As someone who was encountering plastic surgery for the first time, I chose this clinic through recommendations from several acquaintances. The main reasons were that the director had a lot of experience (I thought choosing someone very experienced was most important after seeing that plastic surgery is difficult to reverse if it goes wrong and stories of people suffering from side effects), and that they personally record and show the entire surgical process. After entering my 50s, I had many concerns such as sagging skin and increasing wrinkles. The main reasons I chose the lift and volume SMAS surgery were that recovery is fast due to minimal incisions and the surgical area is not visible, and I wanted to create a younger, more lively image with a slimmer facial shape rather than the existing look that appeared like a square jaw. I also judged that, compared with doing it at an older age, I would have a longer period to show a more beautiful appearance, and that recovery would be faster than if I had surgery when I was older. Right after surgery, I had some headache and vomiting symptoms, so I took antibiotics and painkillers regularly. There was also a lot of swelling, and because swelling moves down from top to bottom, it came down in the order of the eye area, facial line, and neck. In my case, bruising and swelling lasted longer than I expected. (The director had told me in advance that my skin is the type where bruising and swelling do not go away easily, so I waited patiently.) To calm the swelling and bruising, I have been getting proper rest, taking light walks, and steadily drinking pumpkin-red bean tea and the like. Now that 1 month has passed since the surgery, my wrinkles have smoothed out, the contours of my face have become more defined, and I can feel that I look more lively and younger. I have also received many compliments from people around me saying I look younger and that my skin has changed, which gave me confidence, and I think I have become able to show a brighter and more positive side in daily life.
