For a long time, every time I smiled, my cheekbones looked too prominent, so even in group photos, it always looked like only my cheekbones were sticking out, and I felt like my face looked wide, which caused me a lot of stress. I was often told that photos taken from a 45-degree side angle looked better than straight-on shots, and naturally, every time I took photos, I started covering my face or being conscious of the angle, so my confidence gradually dropped. So I thought that instead of just worrying about it, I should look into surgery, and I spent a lot of time searching through countless reviews and clinic information. These days, there are so many promotional reviews and exaggerated before-and-after photos that it actually made choosing a clinic even more confusing. In the middle of that, this clinic caught my eye because many reviews said that actual patients were satisfied rather than showing exaggerated changes, and especially because there were many comments saying that the director gives honest and realistic explanations. When I had the consultation in person, it really didn’t feel artificial; they calmly and kindly explained the condition of my face, and they clearly pointed out the surgical scope and direction, so I felt I could trust them. I had the 3-contour procedure done, including cheekbones, square jaw, and chin. It has only been 1 month, so things are still settling, but I can definitely see a visible change. My facial shape feels a bit more refined, and when I smile, my cheekbones don’t protrude like before, so I’m satisfied. However, there is still swelling and a slight stiff soreness, so I’m watching my face change day by day. What I was most worried about was whether my face would sag over time, but for now I don’t feel that yet, and it seems to be holding well, so I’m relieved. To be honest, the recovery process wasn’t easy. Because it is surgery that involves the bones, during the first week I took painkillers almost every day, had a slight fever, and my whole face felt achy and throbbing. The stitches inside my mouth also felt like they were in the way, so it was uncomfortable to talk, and there were many restrictions on eating, so I got by almost entirely on liquid foods. Up to exactly 2 weeks, it was to the point where I naturally thought, “You really need to be prepared for this.” Still, after 2 weeks passed, I gradually moved on to regular food, my condition improved, and my mouth became much more comfortable, so from then on I could feel myself recovering. Before surgery, I worried a lot about whether I would be able to endure it, but now that I’ve actually gone through it, I keep thinking that I didn’t know it would improve this much. Of course, the swelling hasn’t gone down completely yet, so I need to keep watching it, but if it settles well like this, I think I’ll feel certain that getting the surgery was truly the right decision. I’m already satisfied enough now, and I’m looking forward to seeing it improve even more~~
This is a surgical review pursuing a dramatic result.
