Surgery performed on October 1 A review from around two months after surgery There are so many plastic surgery clinics, and even choosing a place I liked for the area I wanted to have operated on was not easy. After carefully looking through information from several hospitals and real surgery reviews, the place I chose was One Percent Plastic Surgery, located in Sinsa-dong. The 7th floor was for reception, and the 8th floor was operated as the ward floor. The moment I stepped onto the 7th floor, the distant view of Namsan and the wide-open scenery helped ease my anxiety and calm my mind. First, I discussed the area I wanted surgery on and the direction I wanted with the consultant, then had a 3D scan CT taken and proceeded with the surgical consultation with the director at One Percent. He spoke in a very calm and gentle tone, and I listened as he explained while we talked about the area I wanted and the reasons I wanted surgery. Since I wanted to touch my face as minimally as possible while getting the optimal effect and satisfaction, I decided to do only the square jaw surgery. I could not decide on the surgery that day, and after thinking for a few days, I realized that after the upcoming long holiday, I would not be able to take such a long break to recover. So I called in a hurry and asked whether it was possible to book the date I wanted, but at that time there were no open slots, and they said surgery could be scheduled on a slightly earlier date. In the end, I used three annual leave days and scheduled the surgery for the morning of October 1, including the holiday period. On the day of surgery, even until I visited the clinic and changed into patient clothes, it did not feel real that I was actually having surgery. But everything proceeded very quickly, and as soon as I went up to the 8th floor, I entered the operating room and lay down on the surgical bed. After the IV needle was inserted and inhalation anesthesia began, I was no longer conscious. At some point, I was walking, was guided to the hospital room, and lay slightly reclined on the bed. First of all, my throat hurt so much (probably because of intubation into the airway), I could not swallow saliva, and with the compression band and bandages wrapped tightly around my face, it was hard to breathe. When I coughed, possibly from choking, the nurse in charge of the ward heard the sound and quickly came over to check on me and ask if I was okay. They took very careful care of me until the next morning, so I felt very reassured. As the anesthesia wore off and the night grew deeper, I was tired but could not sleep. In an awkward state where I could neither lie down properly nor stay fully upright, I repeatedly fell asleep and woke up. They said drinking water often would help the sore throat, but swallowing anything felt burdensome. Since I could not sleep, I wandered to the bathroom, got lost in many thoughts while looking at the night view outside the hospital room, and wondered whether the surgery had gone well and when I would fully recover and no longer have discomfort in daily life. Before I knew it, morning came. During the director’s rounds, he carefully checked whether there were any problems and whether I was okay, and told me I had worked hard. Then I received the care items provided by the hospital and swelling care, and they also taught me how to wear the compression band, so I tried it myself. I was discharged after listening to the post-surgery precautions and receiving the paper with the instructions written on it. I used a private room, and it was very pleasant. I even thought I wanted to stay one more day. I think the real start of surgical recovery began after returning home. You do not feel the pain of cutting bone at all during surgery because of anesthesia, but during recovery you face discomfort, pain, and many things to take care of and be careful about. Every two hours, I had to gargle with sterile distilled water mixed with medication, and even after meals, I had to clean the inside of my mouth only by gargling. I also had to avoid irritating foods and could not open my mouth wide. Until the second week after surgery, I think you need to focus on intensive care and pay a lot of attention so that the surgical site heals quickly and recovery is faster. Until the stitches were removed, there were also restrictions on eating, so I waited eagerly for the day they would be taken out. The care system at One Percent Plastic Surgery at intervals of 3, 7, 14, and 21 days also helped a lot with recovery. I had a lot of swelling, and going in to receive care and management was emotionally comforting and very nice. Time passed like that, and I think I had the stitches removed 17 days after surgery. Personally, I think it would be good to continue taking care of yourself for at least one to two months according to the precautions they gave you. Avoid tough, hard, or sticky foods, wear the compression band after work when you have time, and take frequent walks, so that you can also help complete the results of the surgery yourself. When I visited for the two-week follow-up, they showed me the before-and-after photos, showed the position of the jawbone that had been cut and the overall appearance, and said the surgery had gone well. Even just looking, I could see that the previous square jaw area was gone and the face had become slimmer. When I first had the consultation, I had resolved to do only the minimum area, but after experiencing the surgical process myself and looking in the mirror, I did start wanting more. After doing only one facial contouring procedure, I think I understand why they recommend the three facial contouring procedures. The next long holiday coming up is next year’s Lunar New Year holiday, and I found myself thinking that I might do cheekbone reduction then. If I do, I think I will do it at One Percent. Since this is a review written when it is almost two months after surgery, the surgical area has become comfortable now, and I am managing well without discomfort in daily life. I had no complaints about any part of the One Percent Plastic Surgery system, so I was able to leave a satisfied review^^
