<<3-line summary first>>
People I recommend Sure's to 1. Those who want a naturally three-dimensional face rather than a face that obviously looks overly surgically altered. 2. Those who want swelling to go down quickly 3. Those who are sensitive about safety
People I don’t recommend Sure's to 1. Those who compare prices a lot and want to do it cheaply (Sure's seems to be around average to above-average in price) 2. Those who want to shave off as much as possible and have it done aggressively (in my opinion, it may not match the aesthetic Sure's pursues) 3. Those who are resistant to general anesthesia (Sure's always uses general anesthesia) ========================================================== A round face shape that looked especially broad whenever I took photos was a lifelong source of stress for me. I got facial contouring injections and treatments at dermatology clinics, and also received meridian massage, but the effects were minimal, only temporary, and the cost was quite burdensome. In the end, only after entering my 30s did I decide to get facial contouring surgery, and after doing a lot of online research, I went to consultations at about three clinics. First of all, I filtered out places that said they would just make my face small in a way that felt too much like a surgically enhanced beauty. I didn’t want a face that made anyone think, “That face was shaved down!!!”... haha But with Sure's, first, the aesthetic they pursued seemed similar to mine, and more than anything, I was drawn in after reading Director Park Jun-gyu’s blog posts. If you’re considering facial contouring, even if you don’t go to Sure's, please read the director’s blog carefully at least once. You can understand facial contouring more deeply, and it also helps when receiving consultations at other clinics! Anyway, when I had the consultation, contrary to what I thought, he said my cheekbones were not as extremely large or severely bumpy as I expected. He said that since my broad-looking face was my complex, if I could only do one surgery, it would be better to do chin advancement. He said that if the chin is advanced, the face looks longer vertically by that amount, gains three-dimensionality, and the wide-looking impression is reduced. I did both cheekbone reduction and chin advancement, but as a result, if I had to pick the one I’m more satisfied with between the two, it would be chin advancement, just as the director said. My head itself is on the wider side horizontally, and my face was not the type that would become dramatically smaller from side to side just by shaving the cheekbones. (This was something every clinic told me.) Even so, the cheekbone line became softer, and as my chin came forward, my face looked less flat, more three-dimensional, and slimmer. Especially the 45-degree to side-profile line is really, really to my liking. (I think later I’ll just need a forehead lift and orthodontic correction lol) People around me also told me so many times, “Did you lose weight?” “You got prettier?!!” When taking photos, in the past I always stuck only to a 45-degree angle. My face came out too round from the front But around 3 months after surgery, I went on a trip to Europe, and even though the swelling had not fully gone down, I could comfortably take as many photos as I wanted. Even when taking photos with the default camera, I felt satisfied as if a slight beauty filter had been applied... I was already satisfied then, but at around 6 months, maybe because the residual swelling went down more, I like it even more haha Another reason I chose Sure's was that, looking at other people’s reviews too, the swelling seemed less than at other clinics. And actually, my swelling also went down faster than I expected, so from week 1 I just went around pretending I had my wisdom teeth removed lol Less swelling seems to mean there was less damage during surgery, and recovery is faster too, so I think that’s an important point. The final reason is general anesthesia. After searching, I saw that some people prefer sedation anesthesia, but since facial contouring surgery involves an intraoral incision, I thought general anesthesia, where an anesthesiology specialist is responsible for your lifeline(?), was absolutely necessary. Of course, general anesthesia involves intubation, and it’s true that during the early recovery period it was really hard because my throat was swollen from it, tickly, and I kept coughing. But I didn’t want to take on risks during surgery just because I didn’t want to suffer during recovery. The fact that there is an anesthesiology specialist and that the clinic insists on general anesthesia only for facial contouring surgery was also a major reason I chose Sure's from a safety standpoint. It was the biggest surgery of my life and I had many worries, but I’m so satisfied that I think, “What would I have done if I hadn’t done it?” It cost a large amount of money all at once, but when I think about the money I’ve spent so far on dermatology procedures and meridian massage...(I feel like I could do facial contouring one more time They said that at the 6-month visit, they would provide filler service for any areas I felt were lacking, and since before surgery I had been a little dissatisfied with the hollowing under my eyes, I think once I get that, I’ll really love it so much. I don’t know whether circumstances will allow it, but if possible later, I’m also planning to go in for a consultation for a forehead lift..!
