When I looked at selfies or photos my friends took of me, my square jaw stood out too much, so I had a consultation at Cookie and got two procedures done. Honestly, Cookie has so many reviews and is such a famous clinic that choosing the clinic wasn’t difficult, but I’d say 70% of what made me decide to have surgery was the consultant, because she did such a great job during the consultation. In the early days after surgery, I was so swollen, like I’d been hit by SpongeBob’s square beam, that a mask was essential. But with ice packs and wearing the compression band, I think from the one-week mark I was able to go around without a mask. Maybe because my square jaw and cheekbone lines had been refined, from the 2-month mark I started tucking my hair behind my ears instead of always using it to cover my face lololololol Honestly, from then on I wasn’t paying attention to swelling or anything like that and was living with high satisfaction. But now that I’m at 6 months, I understand why the consultant told me that residual swelling would continue to go down even after 6 months, because now it feels like there’s no swelling at all. There isn’t even 1 bit of discomfort, to the point that I forget I even had surgery lolol I’m genuinely grateful that facial contouring surgery itself could give me this level of satisfaction.
This review is a surgical review pursuing a natural yet defined look.
