Hi All,
Just wanted to share my long FC exp. Its been a journey so I don't think i can make it short and sweet ..
I always had wide cheekbones protruding lateral not frontally, and wide chin. Got teased since toddlerhood for having big face from parents/relative and definitely grew up with a bit of a complex. My face did not go well with my petite athletic frame. I never thought to have fc surgery growing up bc I felt it was so invasive and sounded scary to me plus having no support from friends/family to do this at the time, I don't want to be judged or thought of as insecure. And honestly, I didn't know there was even such thing as FC, I don't think it was heard of until later..
In 2007, I decided to do something about my cheekbones and found a doctor in LA, Dr. Charles Lee from Enhance Med, that seem to specialize in asian beauty. I got suckered in to do a "push-in method" cheekbone reduction and lipo at lower cheeks area. I went for it bc it didn't sound that invasive and I really wanted a smaller slimmer face. I spent 11K, swelled like a pumpkin for over a month and the result was ineffective, NOT worth it, no change! Maybe 10%, change if that. Mind you, at the time internet search on PS was not very advanced. I was pretty ashamed of the whole ordeal. That was soo much money to me, I was young and I really wanted to forget it ever happened..My secret fail! I then, had a negative feeling about PS and didn't dabble into it again til many years later..
