It has been a while since the surgery, but while organizing my cloud storage, I saw old photos.. They looked so different from recent photos that even I found it fascinating, so I’m leaving a review First of all, my overall face shape was like a peanut, and among that, I think my cheekbones made up the biggest part When I was young and didn’t know anything, I thought that if I pressed my cheekbones hard, they would go in lol So habitually, I would press my cheekbones hard with my fists and even got bruises before I also tried things like cheekbone injections in my early 20s, but I never saw any effect.. haha I paid quite a lot for them too lol Even up until then, I had never thought about facial contouring surgery, but then I went to the dentist and had a CT scan taken, and wow... Seeing it on CT made my protruding cheekbones even more visible Do you know that episode of Infinite Challenge where Yoo Jae-suk goes to the dentist? It was like that lolololol I thought it wasn’t my face... From then on, I got hit hard by reality about my face shape, so I searched a ton for facial contouring surgery vlogs and blog reviews, and since I happened to have some money saved up, I got surgery somewhat impulsively.. Even though the decision to have surgery was impulsive, as someone with severe safety anxiety, I couldn’t just do it anywhere, so I chose the clinic by checking the director’s experience and review photos, and going in person, including multiple repeat consultations at places I had visited Among them, the clinic where I had surgery said real-time monitoring was available (at the time I had surgery, there were some issues with shadow doctors in plastic surgery) and they also said the clinic was well stocked with emergency medications and things like that, so I viewed it positively When I came to my senses, I had paid the deposit and was lying on the operating table.. The director also didn’t add unnecessary talk and was the type to say only what was truly needed surgically Even when I got greedy and asked, “Should I do 3 types?” he clearly said something like 2 types would be enough, which I also liked Pain after surgery? Honestly, it has been a while since the surgery, so my memory has become somewhat romanticized, but if you told me to go back and do it again, I don’t think I could, seriously lol From the second day onward, it did get noticeably better, but those one or two days were really.. more painful than when I had COVID, and even though I kept drinking water, I was thirsty, so it was hard Also, I tend to have a bit of a strong appetite, so it was hard having to eat only soft foods and grain shakes and things like that for a while.... At the time, I really wondered how I ended up going through this suffering, and thought maybe I should have just lived with the face I was born with, and every day I would vent my anxiety on apps or plastic surgery communities and such But humans are creatures of forgetfulness.. lol Looking at the photo comparison like this, Hmm.. I am definitely in a “I’m glad I did it” mood I didn’t have the pins removed separately, and when I went for follow-up, I checked on CT how the bone had been shaved, and even to me, who knows nothing, it looked like it had been shaved cleanly So far, I don’t really feel any sagging and there’s no discomfort either Now I often just.. forget that I even had facial contouring lol It just.. feels like this is my face now lol
