My face was originally round and broad from side to side... Both my lateral and 45-degree cheekbones protruded, so from the front my face was basically a festival of empty space I was always busy hiding my cheekbones with my side hair whenever I took selfies. Since I was going to have bone shaved anyway, I wanted to transform completely into a slim, doll-like line that clearly looked refined.
But I was also afraid that shaving bone indiscriminately for a doll-like line could create a pointy chin or cause the soft tissue to sag, so I did a lot of research. I went to Cookie, which had many doll-line reviews, for my final consultation, and the reviews saying they did not push excessive procedures were true lol.
After looking at my CT, they precisely pointed out the angles of my 45-degree and lateral cheekbones and realistically explained how much they could move them inward. They said they would fix them tightly upward to prevent sagging. For the square jaw, they said they would reduce the front width with a long-curve reduction and cortical osteotomy, while making the chin tip slim. I felt they would meet all my needs for the refined line I wanted while strictly respecting the bone safety limits, so I decided to do it there.
Honestly, because it was a three-part procedure, at first my face looked like it might burst from swelling, and I became obsessed with when the swelling would go down. After a month, the swelling suddenly dropped, and now it is genuinely one of the surgeries I’m glad I had.
The protruding lateral cheekbone curves were completely smoothed out, making my face narrower overall. The jawline naturally retains a slight angle beneath the ears, then falls neatly into a V-line all the way to the chin. It came out exactly like the refined doll-like line I wanted lol. As my face shape became smaller, my features also looked much larger. These days, I can sweep all my hair behind my ears without feeling stressed at all when I look in the mirror. Director Jeong Seong-mo did an amazing job creating a clean line without sagging or a step-like jaw transition...
