It’s been 7-8 years since I had contouring surgery, and I’m eating well and living well. The bones have stayed well together after surgery. I was so worried that I even got CT scans at other dental clinics and plastic surgery clinics, but the doctors said there was nothing wrong and that the surgery had been done cleanly. I can see that too. (It was nice that I could get a CT after surgery) Safety matters more than aesthetics, after all. Aesthetically, my face feels overall more refined than before. I’m slightly disappointed with the cheekbones, but this is good enough. I’m a little disappointed about the 45-degree cheekbones, but they have become naturally a bit smaller, so I’m satisfied for now. For the square jaw, I asked them to leave a little angle near the ear, but there’s no angle. If you want an angle, it can appear depending on the situation if you chew squid Right now I’m satisfied with my jaw too. If there had been an angle, maybe it would have looked wider from the front? So anyway it’s fine now. For the front chin, I said I really didn’t want it too narrow, so I asked them to reduce it only a little, and that request was reflected. At first the swelling was so severe that I was mentally struggling and kept whining to the manager every day, and I don’t know if that manager is still there, but I’m really grateful. I think there was a manager named Ji-hyeon? who was very natural. I might be remembering the name wrong. It was so long ago that I can’t remember the name Being treated in a friendly, relaxed way helped ease my mind a little. In the end, I don’t have any pain after surgery. For the first few years, every time I chewed food or opened my mouth really wide, I heard some kind of joint sound or bone sound, and it was honestly depressing and hard, but strangely enough, it has almost disappeared now, which is amazing. Maybe that was from orthodontic treatment rather than contouring. I’m not sure. Because I became a peanut face almost immediately after finishing orthodontics, so I had contouring surgery right away. Anyway, now when I open my mouth wide or eat, the annoying sound has almost disappeared. Only very occasionally, when I’m tired and open my mouth wide to eat, it makes a sound once in a while. For a few years, I had a sensation around the cheekbone area like touching a cramped spot, but I ignored it and lived on, and now that I think about it and touch it, it seems to have gotten better. That also seems to have almost disappeared. If I stick my lower jaw forward, a slight dimple appears on my chin. When I’m still, there isn’t one. Sometimes people ask me why there’s a dimple on my chin and say it’s interesting.. Whenever that happens, I just pretend I don’t know The facility was a bit small, but I chose this place because I felt there wouldn’t be any surrogate surgery and it would be safe. The director, who explained everything thoroughly while moving CT images around here and there, also gave me a good feeling at the time. I made a surgery reservation and went on the scheduled date, but I had caught a cold and was taking medicine, and my condition wasn’t great, so the director said it could be risky and suggested postponing the surgery first. If this had been a hospital obsessed with money, they probably would have gone ahead with the surgery no matter how risky it was for me. Thank you, Director No Jonghun. I had the surgery about a week later. The operating room didn’t seem great in any way. Maybe there was blood on the sheet film? Something like that. Still, I had the surgery safely and well. When I was hospitalized for one day, the director came at night, looked at me, and left. I think he said it went well, but it was so long ago I can’t remember. The one-day hospital stay was hard. I think I vomited blood. My body is weak, so the nausea was severe and I coughed a lot. About a month after surgery? When I went for a checkup and asked for the CT, they mentioned that the plate on the outer cheekbone had been fixed a little diagonally, pointed out the part that was disappointing, and said if I was worried, they could open just that part slightly and revise it. Asking for the CT and then hearing them talk about that part was a bit much. They should have told me in advance. After that, it was fixed again and became sturdy and fine.
In conclusion, I don’t have stress about my face shape!!! The line I wanted came out naturally and exactly. I asked them to make Kim Tae-hee’s face shape back then. I’m not Kim Tae-hee, of course, but Kim Tae-hee’s face shape was exactly the face shape I wanted. I don’t have pain, I eat well, and my face shape is prettier than before, so I’m satisfied. The dimple at the tip of my chin and the slight 45-degree cheekbone are a little disappointing.. Still, it’s only a little disappointing, and I like it too. It’s just slightly smaller than my original face. The doctor friendliness score is 4 because he just wasn’t very talkative.. He seemed calm. But that doesn’t mean he said unnecessary things. As far as I remember, he explained everything he needed to about the surgery. He’s far, far better than a doctor who talks a lot but can’t operate well, but the part where he came to say a brief hello after I recovered felt a little disappointing? That’s why it’s 4 points.
Anyway, the important thing is that I got the face shape I wanted without major side effects. Honestly, I wanted to stop by once to thank him, but I’ve been too busy just trying to make a living... I’d like to see him again someday. At the time I had the surgery, contouring surgery didn’t seem as active as it is now, but looking back, I think it was a good decision to have it done here back then. These days, contouring surgery is advertised so lightly, as if it’s no big deal, so it seems easy to be tempted. Please research hospitals carefully and have your surgery safely.
