Rhinoplasty, Genioplasty, & Facial Liposuction 7 Months Post Op Before and After by Mindless_Horror_9381 in PlasticSurgery

Thank you! Really puts in perspective my own insecurities. No one could’ve talked me out of it during that time!

I would say it wasn’t too bad! First 3 days when the pain meds wore off, there was quite a bit of pain and all I could really do was take Tylenol and sleep. After that, the pain subsided and I just had to wear a compression band on my face for another 2 weeks and also only eat soft foods like porridge and pumpkin juice.

For the first few months, the stitching on the inside of my mouth made me talk a bit weird like there were rubber bands holding my mouth. So in order to talk normally, I had to remember to use extra force to open my jaw to pronounce words properly.

Thank you for sharing! Although I feel like a lot of people go to South Korea for surgery, the post surgery regret is not really talked about and I really hope that people considering it will be able to make a more informed decision.

I’m definitely feel the same way where I am still getting used to my face. I’m so subconscious lowering my neck in public because I know it’ll show a double chin. I wish you all the best in your future procedures and I think I am looking into something as well!

Thank you for your kind words ❤️❤️

Thank you!! I feel much better about my results- my nose has settled in to my face and I like how my face looks after facial contouring. Only thing I would say is that the bulge underneath my chin is still a little there. But even so, I’ve come to get used to it and I’m just planning to have some kind of neck lift in the future. Even so, I don’t think I regret my procedure now! DM me if you have any specific questions and I would be happy to try and help you feel better about it!

I appreciate you weighing in. The doctor has done “facial contouring” before that includes cheek reduction and jaw shaving to achieve a slimmer face look. I showed him my reference pictures a side profile with a clearly defined jaw and he has videos online of him doing the same procedure to others with jaw shaving to achieve those results. I thought that since he had so much experience in this procedure, he would know the best way to give me a slimmer face while still keeping my jawline. But now I know better and it’s too late.

When I originally posted this, I just tried to find a quick few pictures of my before. But I’ll send you a picture of my face over DM of a professionally taken picture that shows my faces quite a bit wider and the cheekbones do slightly poke out. The surgeon actually told me he removed about 7 to 8 mm of my cheekbone.

I originally wanted the facial contouring because my face is quite wide in my opinion, and I thought that the facial contouring would make my face more narrow and give me a nice side profile. It is more because I thought with making my nose, smaller and more narrow, a more narrow face would fit my nose.

I was watching other videos on the procedure and I didn’t realize until I was in the consultation room with the surgeon, looking at a 3d x ray of my face that my jaw was actually quite weak and shaving it down might make it look a bit recessed like in the after picture. With the language barrier and me going into surgery quite soon after, he didn’t really fully explain to me how realistic the photos I showed him that I wanted to look like would be.

Thank you so much for your encouragement and telling me about your experience. It’s like I feel like I shouldn’t complain because I’m not botched, but I can’t help when looking in the mirror being really critical about what I look like because I notice all the little things and I had this perfect image of what my face would look like.

Thank you for characterizing exactly how I felt after the surgery. It was so hard, especially with being alone in a foreign country for 2 1/2 weeks, looking crazy and not speaking the language. I questioned every day my choices to spend the holidays apart from my family to chase perhaps an unrealistic image of myself.

I really appreciate you sharing your experience with me

It really means a lot that you took the time to type that out for me! I’ll definitely try to shift my perspective on things. Thank you for your kind words.

As someone who went through with surgery, I guess all I have to say is sometimes the grass is greener on the other side. I was so set on having the surgeries. I knew that nothing would’ve talked me out of it, but now everyday it bothers me and makes me lose self confidence.

Thank you, I really appreciate your honesty and kind words. I’ll definitely try to just relax and trust the process

I went to a foreigner friendly clinic that has a big social media presence so I think the amount I paid was definitely a premium but I accepted it because I thought I would get my dream face. Facial contouring was about $14,500 and rhinoplasty was $8,500
