First, on February 26, I posted in this community that I was going to get cheekbone surgery, and now I’m back after exactly a month and a little more! I wanted to write a review about how it went, so here I am! First, I had 3 mm and 4 mm moved in on each side, and 5 mm for the side cheekbones! Right after surgery, the swelling did seem pretty enormous, but I could feel the line had changed from then, and as the swelling went down my face became slimmer. At the same time, since I was eating a liquid diet, my diet was forcibly controlled, so I even lost weight and my face became totally yes~ lol They said I can now carefully start regular food, so I’ll gain it back though haha.. First, even though it was non-fixation, I wasn’t too worried about nonunion. (The director has quite a lot of experience and said there have been no cases of nonunion during that time, so I wasn’t too worried!) But my biggest worry was what if the effect was too subtle. Even just looking at it, I could see my cheekbones had reduced a lot, and the before-and-after CT photos showed a big difference too! It’s exactly the line I wanted without being too excessive, so I’m satisfied! I said I wanted to avoid a full doll-like line because it would look too obviously done, but I still wanted my cheekbones to look much smaller, so I was being picky like that.... The director said cheekbones don’t necessarily look smaller just because you shave off a lot; balance is important. Even if you reduce only 1 mm, if the balance is done well, moving it in just a little can make the face look much more three-dimensional! He said that confidently, and I think he did it well to match my taste. I had a lot of worries at first, but in the end, it was a surgery I’m extremely satisfied with!
For reference, they said this hospital’s name changed starting this year, so keep that in mind if you’re going! It’s not ㅊㄷㅁㅇㅁㄷㄱ, it’s ㅊㅁ!
