No matter how many lifting lasers I had, my protruding 45-degree cheekbones were hopeless, so after searching this community, I had three-part facial contouring with square-jaw reduction, cheekbone reduction, and chin advancement from Dr. Jeong Seong-mo, along with soft-tissue contouring surgery (deep cheek fat removal, facial liposuction, and double-chin liposuction). My double chin had appeared because of filler in the front of my chin, and the skin along my jawline was gradually sagging, while my side cheekbones and 45-degree cheekbones made my face look too wide horizontally, which was extremely stressful. For the consultation, I organized and brought notes on every complex I had before surgery. I had heard that follow-up consultations at [Clinic A] were not available, so I prepared thoroughly. The doctor pointed things out one by one, explained the areas that could be treated within the nerve boundaries while separating bone from soft tissue, and even drew on the CT while explaining. It felt like attending a professor's lecture.. Since I had many questions, I definitely learned more. The consultation at [Clinic A] was, as rumored, very expensive, so I visited several more hospitals, but I realized I was asking other hospitals questions based on Dr. Jeong Seong-mo Maria's consultation. Since I was already going to lie down for surgery, I decided to choose a hospital where I could get a proper result and paid the surgical deposit. On the day of surgery, a friend I had arranged in advance watched the CCTV. When I came out wearing the compression headband, my friend teased me that the surgery would be a success if my face became as small as the headband, but I was shocked because I could immediately feel with my hands that my cheekbones had gone in. During my one-day admission, I had an IV drip, but I felt nauseated and suffered. The on-call doctor was incredibly kind.. So sweet. As for facial contouring, there is definitely a recovery period. The swelling became huge around days 3–4, and from one to three months, my mood fluctuated with the swelling. I worried on and off about whether the bones had fused well. Then, after five months and approaching six months, sensation returned, I could eat more freely, and once the swelling decreased a lot, I would sometimes forget I had surgery. Friends who hadn't seen me in a long time made a fuss asking why I had lost so much weight and whether I had taken Mounjaro, but they had no idea I had had bone shaved Looking at my preoperative photos, I'm satisfied 200%—to the point that I regret not having the bones shaved sooner. For cheekbones especially, Dr. Jeong Seong-mo is simply the answer. I almost regret the time I wasted on radiofrequency and other treatments. Really, get facial contouring done at a place that does it well!
