I had square-jaw surgery two years ago and simply lived with it, but as time passed, my cheekbones began to stand out relatively more and kept bothering me. After deliberating because I wanted a smaller, softer facial contour, I had cheekbone-reduction surgery with Dr. Lee Kyung-min. It has already been two weeks, and it is amazing to see the line becoming more refined every time I look in the mirror. The swelling was quite severe right after surgery, honestly, but I managed it by taking walks consistently for a week and diligently applying warm compresses. As I entered the second week, most of the bruising disappeared, the major swelling went down, and the soft, small contour I had hoped for began to appear gradually. Above all, perhaps because the bones were cut differently on each side according to my facial proportions, the asymmetry was corrected and my overall impression looks much softer and gentler. I like that it does not look awkwardly over-shaved, but rather feels as though only the contours were naturally refined, as if this had always been my face shape. People around me say I look much more pure and that my face has really become smaller, lol. I still have some swelling and need to be careful when eating, but there is not much pain and I have no major difficulty with daily life. So far, I am satisfied. I will have to see how much prettier it becomes once more time passes and all the swelling goes down, but there are no major problems, so I am looking forward to it, lol.
