Hello :) I'm writing this post to organize the procedures I've had so far and share them with members!
First, my original face shape was.. a severe receding chin U-line + broad face + lots of cheek fat Ever since high school, I used to go around saying I definitely wanted contouring surgery, that I'd shave my cheekbones and jaw and do everything.. But now I hear a lot that my face is small and my face shape is pretty, so I feel really good ㅠ
1. Jaw Botox - I've been getting jaw Botox consistently no matter what from age 21 to 25, <once every 6 months>. I really saw a lot of effect. For people whose square jaw is due to bone, there's no helping it, but for those with a lot of muscle mass, I can say for sure it works! The products I get are Botulax and Innotox, those two.
2. Chin filler Among the petite procedures I've had so far, I can say without hesitation that I think it was No. 1 in effect. I basically had no chin at all, and it was truly a perfect U-line, but after getting chin filler, I was so, so satisfied. Since it definitely became a V-shape, my face shape improved, and it gave me a somewhat more mature image? That's how it felt!! Recommend!!!
3. Contour injections The effect probably varies case by case depending on the clinic, but I think I've had contour injections about 10 times...^_^... But unfortunately.... There was absolutely, absolutely no effect haha. I just threw money away. After that, I haven't even looked at contour injections for years.
4. Orthodontic treatment Hmm.. It's a bit ambiguous whether this belongs in a petite procedure review, but I feel like it helped improve my face shape. I had protruding teeth + snaggle teeth, and after extracting 4 teeth, I heard that my teeth became straighter and my face gradually became slimmer, so I think I definitely saw an effect, so I'm writing it for now haha.
5. Shurink I've had it about twice, and the first clinic I went to was much better. The price difference between clinic 1 and clinic 2 wasn't much, and they were similar, but at clinic 1, the aesthetician did all the cleansing for me, and I could feel that the doctor did the laser really meticulously. Afterward, they also applied cream and did a soothing pack. As for the effect, after about a week? I could see elasticity improving and sagging skin lifting and attaching upward. But it wasn't dramatic ㅠㅠ I'd rather try Ultherapy later. In contrast, at clinic 2, I had to wash my face myself in the washing room, so my clothes and sleeves all got wet and it felt uncomfortable ㅠ The director's procedure was really...ㅋ so careless.... It didn't even hurt. It felt like they just brushed past me ㅡㅡ sigh, annoying ~ After the laser, they didn't apply anything like cream or a pack, and I just went home as is... ㅋㅋ Of course there was no effect either ㅋㅋ
6. Under-eye aegyo filler People say if you get under-eye aegyo filler, you look like a plastic-surgery monster or a caterpillar, things like that, right? But I think that happens when people with very protruding foreheads, high noses, pointed faces, or already very flashy facial features also get aegyo filler, and then it feels like they become plastic-surgery monsters. In my case, the only surgery I've had is my eyes, and overall my face is plain. But my midface is long ㅠ For sure, when someone with a long midface gets under-eye aegyo filler, it does help compensate. I saw a huge effect after getting aegyo filler, and my image improved too, so it was a procedure I was really, really satisfied with. One thing to be careful about is: when it seems like even a little bit of the aegyo has gone down, if you get small amounts often, it sags down.. It sags unattractively, almost like under-eye fat has formed, so even if it's inconvenient and costs more, when getting it again, I strongly recommend dissolving it all first and doing a new procedure :)
7. Nose filler I originally had a high nasal bridge and a slightly long nose with a hump. For this kind of nose, realistically, rhinoplasty is the answer rather than filler.. But I'm still scared of surgery, so I tried filler first. Only with the feeling of improving the hump! But interestingly, there was definitely a difference between doing it and not doing it haha. I met an older acquaintance after a long time, and when she saw my nose she was like, huh??? Did you get surgery??? .... And even people meeting me for the first time said my nose was high so they thought I had surgery, and they didn't even notice it was a hump nose! But since nose filler is still filler, as time passes, it doesn't have that initial procedure feeling anymore ㅠ So if I get the chance later, I want to get rhinoplasty haha.
Writing up to here is surprisingly tiring haha. Anyway, I hope this helps even a little ~
