I originally didn’t lack facial volume, but after losing 8 kg on Mounjaro, the areas beside my cheekbones and around my sideburns became especially sunken. I was happy that my body got slimmer, but losing weight in my face too made me look older T_T. Especially in side-profile photos, the shadow beside my cheekbones was so dark that I looked like someone wearing a lot of old-fashioned contour blush. After seeing a photo my friend took, I felt I really couldn’t live like this, so I looked into fillers. But I was terrified when I heard they could migrate to other areas. I had known about Sculptra for a while, but I was also scared because I had read that collagen injections could cause nodules if done incorrectly T_T. Still, I thought Sculptra, which fundamentally builds collagen, would be better than filler for my skin, which had lost a lot of elasticity. I learned that hydration matters, but the doctor’s skill in naturally building volume exactly where you want it is truly important. So I mainly looked for plastic surgeons rather than dermatologists, and luckily there was Able Room Clinic right near my workplace!!!!! Naver lists it as Able Room Plastic Surgery. I heard the director personally handles everything from consultation through treatment, so I went straight there, but was turned away because it was appointment-only and had to return on the weekend after booking T_T. Anyway, I’m the type who thinks it’s important to have a doctor who will continue to take responsibility if a problem occurs after treatment. I trusted the doctor because they had many years of experience in both surgery and procedures, and the reviews were excellent. They seemed to have been famous for Sculptra for a long time. During the consultation, they didn’t just look at the hollow areas; they also reviewed photos and accurately pointed out that the area beside my cheekbones was especially sunken, making my facial line uneven and making me look older, while the volume in other areas was fine T_T. That was my complex area. I have now had two sessions, and the effect is amazing T_T. Honestly, after the first session I couldn’t see much difference and felt depressed, so I went back separately for a follow-up. The doctor reassured me by explaining carefully that collagen regeneration does not happen that quickly and that I needed to wait and observe. That was the period when my appearance anxiety was at its legendary worst. After the second session, the hollow beside my cheekbones blended much more naturally, and the shadow in my side profile was greatly reduced. Once the uneven areas were smoothed out, I looked much younger, and honestly younger than before I lost weight, lol. This clinic is famous for performing a lot of Sculptra, and apparently there are grades given to doctors who perform many Sculptra treatments; the doctor was a Master. I trusted them, but I never expected to like the result this much. So far, I’m completely satisfied. I plan to have the final, third session after Chuseok. If you lost weight with Mounjaro or Wegovy and ended up with a peanut-shaped face like me, I highly recommend it. It feels like my own cheek fat was put back into that area, and they said my skin texture would improve too. My elasticity really has improved, so much that I feel sorry for myself over all the worrying I went through.
