I succeeded with facial-contouring surgery at the clinic I found through an influencer's DM… lol

My face shape had stressed me out since I was a student, but facial contouring is major surgery, so I had only thought I wanted it. As I got older, my fixation on my face shape grew. Experience in facial contouring mattered, but I wanted a doll-like line between natural and glamorous, and diagnoses varied from clinic to clinic: some said two contouring procedures, some added facial liposuction, and some said I needed a facelift (what?). I searched every review, even obscure corners, and after messaging an influencer whose one-procedure cheekbone surgery had turned out really well, I went for a consultation because they said they had paid for it themselves at Cookie. Beforehand I researched the reputation thoroughly. Since many reviews said consultations were short or ordinary, I asked for the last appointment with plenty of time, visited all the other clinics first, then brought my questions and desired photos. (I really recommend bringing lots of questions to Cookie! They do not proactively explain much, but they answer every question, haha.) The thing I like most after surgery is my cheekbones. My face really became smaller once the cheekbones went in. I heard that if cheekbone surgery is not done well, it may not look obvious, and many people end up needing revision contouring. Around one or two weeks after surgery, I saw my CT and the before-and-after difference was clear; the size of my facial bones had changed. They said the square jaw might look less dramatic because mine was a tucked-in square jaw, but I am satisfied because they matched it well with the chin and created a V-line. Even outside the clinic's scheduled checkpoints, they monitor my progress well when I contact them. They also take additional CT scans when requested, allowing checks for fixation-pin concerns and adhesions, so I felt they were not a clinic that simply abandons you. After my face shape changed, my mood and styling changed too. Even people around me who opposed contouring began asking whether they should do it and where my clinic was, lol. If I had spent over ten million won and it had not shown at all, I would have cried my eyes out. Anyway, after three-part contouring, my self-esteem rose tremendously. I love not needing shading when doing makeup, and occasionally getting approached for my number has become routine. I do not regret facial contouring one bit. I am just going to manage myself with small bits of dieting.
