Before<before surgery><1 month><2 months><4 months>I was often told that my impression looked fierce and that I looked like a Mongolian woman. I disliked how my face looked long and how the midface seemed emphasized, so I went for a consultation thinking it might improve if I reduced my cheekbones. The director said my chin tip was short and set back, and that because the mandibular angle below the ears was on the long side, my midface looked emphasized. My cheekbones looked even biggerㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ My overall face looked long tooㅠㅠㅠ For a case like mine, they recommended 3 facial contouring procedures. Since my face already looked long, I honestly worried a lot about whether it would be okay to lengthen my chin tip. If I increased the length as the director said, would my face look shorter...? I was anxious, so I even went for a second consultation, but looking back now, I think I did well to do the chin tip.
After about 2 weeks, most of the major swelling was almost gone. It goes down much faster than expectedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I’m now 4 months post-op. I don’t have any sensory discomfort, just a slight pulling sensation. There is still a little swelling left around the chin tip!
I thought my face looked fierce because of my cheekbones, but when I actually had the consultation, unlike what I had thought, it turned out to be the feeling coming from my eyes. Because my forehead looked narrow and square in terms of facial proportions, I also had a forehead lift together with the contouringㅠㅠㅠㅠ For my eyes, I had already done ptosis correction, double eyelid surgery, and lateral canthoplasty before, so there was no need to define the line further; I just had the forehead lift to make the impression of my eyes look gentler. After having the surgery myself, I feel that the contour line is important, but the feeling of the eyes also makes up a large part of the face. My impression has become much softer than before, and my face doesn’t look long anymore, so I’m satisfiedㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
