I was concerned because my square jaw and cheekbones made my impression look strong, so I got the 3-type facial contouring surgery from Director Lee Ji-hyuk at ㅇㅇㄷ. I’ll roughly summarize what I had done.
Surgical areas Cheekbones, square jaw, chin tip: 3 types
Current condition (1 month post-op) I’m the type who swells very easily, so even though it’s been 1 month, I still have quite a bit of swelling. When I look in the mirror, I’m half worried and half excited, wondering if it will all go down. People say the major swelling usually goes down after a month, but I’m still quite puffy, so I’m managing it by walking consistently. The director said the surgery went well, so I guess I just have to trust that and hang in there.
Hospital impression Since it was a major surgery, I had a lot of concerns, but during the consultation, Director Lee Ji-hyuk looked at my face shape and coordinated well between what I wanted and the line that could realistically come out. His style isn’t just shaving things down unconditionally, but setting the line in a way that suits me. When I went in for a follow-up, the director personally checked my condition and explained how to manage it, so I felt less anxious. It felt like they didn’t just finish with the surgery, but continued taking care of me until the end, so I think I made the right choice choosing this place.
How it feels now Because of the swelling, it’s not the final result yet, but the line I can feel with my hands is definitely different. After 2–3 months, I think it will come out the way I expected. If you’re someone who swells easily like me, I think the answer is to take it easy mentally in the beginning and wait. For now, I’m also exercising lightly, just enough to loosen up my body.
