In the end, I was satisfied with the surgery and the staff were kind. But before and after the surgery, the director rushed to finish the consultation quickly and completely shut me down when I mentioned worries or questions about side effects. There was a lot of bleeding during surgery, so the swelling on one side lasted a long time. During recovery in the recovery room, the doctor slammed the door and left, and that still bothers me.
Still, luckily there were no major side effects and the surgery ended safely, so in the end I was more or less satisfied and I'll leave it at that, but the doctor's attitude left a bad feeling. Even so, the staff were kind, so they seemed to cover for the doctor's lack of warmth and those kinds of things.
For the 45-degree cheekbone, I liked the shaving method because it involves less dissection and less volume reduction, so it seemed like sagging would be less severe. The cost for that method was also within my budget at the time, so I chose it. But as you can tell from the director's column, the attitude of trying to shut down responsibility for side effects, and the way they rushed to end the consultation and gave you attitude when you asked questions, were both not good.
