In my 20s, I had facial contouring, and side effects like cheek sagging, a witch-like chin, and jawline laxity started appearing one by one. So at age 40, I had a facelift, and it has now been exactly 4 weeks.
The swelling was not as severe as I expected. With my wide face, by week 2 I looked more or less human, and from week 3 people didn’t really notice. I did develop some scar tissue around the cheek area and temples, but they say this is temporary, and that having no scar tissue means the surgery wasn’t done well…
Anyway, whether it’s scar tissue or swelling, it’s nothing compared with my previously collapsed jawline, and although the scars are red, they are better than I had worried. Ah, a few days ago I drank a few glasses of wine.. the swelling.. I thought I had gone right back to day 2 after surgeryㅜㅜ It’s not over until it’s over, so don’t let your guard down.. I realized I absolutely have to stay away from alcoholㅠㅠ
When I think of the money I spent doing other things with the mindset of “I’m still young, why would I…” ugh… If the side effects are severe, getting a facelift right away is the way to save money.
But research carefully and go somewhere that truly specializes only in facial lifting. Because this place only does this, the dissection range, fixation, suturing skill, and basic facilities... everything seems to be at least above the minimum standard. The price is slightly higher for the director than for the associate director, but my principle is that when I don’t know well, choose the more expensive option, so I had it done by the director. Ah, before surgery, I had tried to get by with thread lifting and liposuction, and that seemed to be handled exclusively by the associate director. That associate director was very kind and good, and it seemed to turn out well, but because of the limitations of the procedure itself......
