I saw a photo of myself that can’t really be edited, and I was so shocked. It didn’t look like a human face. First of all, my lateral cheekbones stick out like crazy, so my cheeks look way fuller than they actually are, and with a recessed chin and deep cheek fat, overall I looked like a puffy bulldog. F*ck~! But it’s not like I have tons of cheek fat either, so I have slight cheek hollowing too. Just a hopeless face shape, honestly.. My eyes are sleepy and small, my nose has been augmented so my midface looks freaking long, and my lips are naturally thick and dark, so overall the balance is ruined. Just looking at it.. ugly. It was truly the face of an ugly person. And with the deep cheek fat, the nasolabial folds looked especially emphasized too.
I seriously considered facial bone contouring, but no matter what, I couldn’t do bone-cutting surgery, so I decided to look into what I could do and researched lifting. So far, the only thing I can really call surgery is nose surgery (deviated septum + nasal bridge + nasal tip + alar base) The rest was just things like Juvelook or exosomes..
I was scared of thread lifting and scared of filler too, but with lasers I thought, okay, let’s try it once, so I looked into InMode and went for a consultation. I was a bit surprised that I went straight into a consultation with the director, but I actually liked that better. I had the director consultation first, then the manager consultation. After looking at my face, they said I do have some fleshiness, but also sagging, so instead of only doing InMode, they recommended InMode and Ultherapy together (I asked for the Botox myself). I just went for it that same day, so there was quite a wait, but I didn’t have any plans anyway, so I got everything done at once.
InMode FX: Maybe because this was first after applying numbing cream, it didn’t hurt much. It felt like briefly being hit with hot air from a hair dryer, then a tight suction and squeezing sensation. Ultherapy: At first I wondered if it was okay, but it wasn’t. This one is low-key insane. It keeps making your body tense up. It subtly tortures you. InMode FORMA: This was an angel. It just felt like someone was gently searing my face with a warm spoon.
I didn’t really time it, but I remember InMode FX being about 18 minutes 30 seconds. Almost 20 minutes? around that? It felt like they were really thorough with it. After that, I didn’t time anything. I don’t know, it just hurt.. The director kept talking to me so I wouldn’t feel pressured, so I also kept rambling about anything. When I came out after everything was done and looked in the mirror, my cheeks and double-chin area were red like I’d been hit.
I don’t know the effect yet, but please let it work well
