Before <before surgery> After <1 month after surgery> After <6 months after surgery> After <6 months after surgery> After <6-month postoperative scar> It has already been over 6 months since I had a stem cell facelift. Time really seems to fly. It feels like just yesterday that I walked into the operating room feeling nervous. At 6 months, I am still just as satisfied as I was right after surgery. Before surgery, should I call it the midface? As the cheek area sagged, I developed wrinkles around the mouth, my facial contour collapsed, and that area where the face and neck connect... jowls? That area had also lost elasticity and drooped. As I kept aging, even when I managed it with lasers or thread lifting, I couldn’t stop the sagging. So after thinking about it for a year, I had surgery at The Regen on the recommendation of a younger acquaintance who had a facelift first. The swelling was worst on day 3. From day 5, I still had some bruising, but I covered it with makeup, covered the surgical area with my hair, and went out. They removed stitches on day 7 and again on day 14, and they also did the stem cell treatment. Until the stitches were removed, there was a pulling sensation, but it felt like everything was being lifted tightly. After that, even when making facial expressions, it felt natural and there was no pulling sensation^^ The incision area was quite long, so I was very worried scars would remain, but after receiving the stem cell treatment and managing it with scar ointment, there are no bumpy marks and it has become clean. Until 1 month, it can feel awkward to tie your hair up with your ears showing, but once you enter the 2nd month, it is completely fine. Of course, there can be individual differences^^ People around me keep saying the surgery turned out really well, that I look younger, that I became prettier, so every day feels happy, and I feel like I am becoming even younger. And I feel like my mind has become younger too! I really thought I was someone who worries a lot and recovers slowly, but the surgery finished well, so I feel really good^^
