Currently day 1! The marks on my face are from the compression band! ➡️ Why I did it I’m 160/46 and have a slim body type, but ever since high school, whenever I took photos, my face would always come out looking flat and wide.. My face isn’t even big, but I always lived with this complex, wondering if it was because of the extra fat on my face or because my facial bones were really large!
Then this year, my sister and I seriously debated whether I should get jawline contouring.. But it was so expensive cost-wise, and from a surgical standpoint too, since it’s a procedure that puts a lot of force on the face, I just couldn’t make such a reckless decision..
➡️ Why I chose ATOP As it happened, my close friend had cheek fat liposuction at ATOP, and after seeing how much prettier she looked, I think that’s what made me decide to go ahead with liposuction!
➡️ Consultation review It really was a stroke of genius, what I thought was a square jaw was not bone but all fat;;; I really think CT is extremely important.
Fortunately, my hyoid bone position was high and in a very good place, and below that, above and below the jaw muscle, the total fat thickness was a whopping 17 mm.. The sides of my cheeks were also all fat..
The director and the doctor were on exactly the same page, and they only suggested what was truly necessary. I’m so happy there was no overtreatment.. They said they wouldn’t do fillers or lifting on my face, only liposuction, and that I should just get Botox for the square jaw. That’s how I ended up getting 15 cc and 10 cc from both cheeks, plus 70 cc from my double chin ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
My sister and I were giggling while looking at the facial fat amounts on CT, but once I was standing in front of the operating room, I was scared and shaking..
➡️ Atmosphere at the clinic Since I was nervous, they kept saying nice things to help me calm down, and before the surgery started they made sure I wouldn’t feel anxious.
It was my first time under deep sedation, so I was scared, but before I knew it I was like, "Why isn’t the anesthesia kicking in?" and then I fell asleep ㅋㅋ I didn’t even dream once, and then suddenly I woke up lying in a recliner.
➡️ How I feel after surgery It’s only day 1 right now, but I removed the tape from my face, went to the pharmacy today to buy saline solution and gauze, disinfected everything and put on DuoDERM, and I’ve been cleaning my mouth and wearing the compression band while doing cold compresses very diligently since yesterday,
my sister and I keep looking at my face and being so amazed.. There isn’t a single bruise.. I did this without telling my parents, and I don’t think they’ll ever find out ㅋㅋㅋ
I usually get bruises even from InMode, so it’s so surprising that there are no bruises with this.. My jawline is so pretty that I keep smiling to myself ㅋㅅㅋ I’m really looking forward to day 7ㅠ
Oh, and the compression band and cold compresses are the most important!
But an older sister I know said she had it done here, and for her, she got a jaw complication.. It really seems to vary from person to person....
