Before and after, before and after. It has been 2 weeks since I had a minimal-incision SMAS volume lift, fat grafting excluding liposuctioned fat, and deep cheek fat removal at 345 Plastic Surgery.
One day I looked at a photo and noticed my jowls were sagging, so I had consultations at several clinics during that time. At 345 Plastic Surgery, the consultant gave the first consultation, and then the chief director personally gave the second preoperative consultation. Even the parts I was still worrying about until the day of surgery were calmly discussed with me again so I could feel at ease, so I proceeded exactly as I had been advised at the first consultation.
I'm now at week 2 and I'm very satisfied. On the day of surgery, after the surgery I went to the pharmacy, bought the prescribed antibiotics and topical ointment, and came home. I followed exactly the postoperative precautions the clinic gave me. The swelling was worst on day 2, but on day 4 I went to a hair salon, washed my hair, wore a mask, and went outside. On day 10, I only had bruising along one jawline, and there was no bruising on the opposite jawline. After about ten days, the bruises had almost all disappeared. Now that it has been 2 weeks, the swelling has almost all gone down too.
After the surgery, people around me ask if I've lost weight, but they don't know I had surgery, and they only realize it if I tell them, so I really like that.
I'm not that old yet, but after seeing the jowls on my face, I suddenly made up my mind, and I think having the surgery was really a good decision. I feel so good every time I look in the mirror.
I also chose my surgery clinic and decided on surgery while reading reviews here, and it was a huge help, so I wanted to leave a review too.
This review is a surgical review pursuing reconstruction.
