yeh i just made this account so in 3 more days i will post a new thread on my consultations to the 5 clinics i visited in seoul and the procedures i selected and why. Feel free to send me ure photos as i may be able to direct you somewhere .

Also i should mention that the only way at the moment to safely tweak soft issue is with acculift. The only other method is to cut it but thats dangerous as it may alter how your facial tissues sit, cause internal scarring which can lead to bumps in the face etc. Lipo only removes facial fats and not the soft tissue. Im quite excited to use acculift. Lol the thought of shrink wrapping my face from the inside seems like a great alternative to the cutting.

i dont know of any jaw reduction methods that retain the bone structure of the original jaw but changes the width. Maybe they have new procedures now? My jaw reduction was performed 6 years ago so im hoping there has been improvements which may aid you.

With the 3d facial scan, tell them to make you a cd. They will charge you a bit of money for it, nothing significant. Then pass on your cd to the other surgeons in your consultations. The staff tend to be a little incompetent as those at reception and the translators are only trained in directing you to the right departments and convincing you to have your procedures done there. So if you raise concerns of multiple xrays, cts scans they will just say its safe and not to worry. Absolute rubbish. Its not healthy to have multiple scans within a short period of time. So yeah, request a cd so you can show the other surgeons. Thats what i did.

Hi K Couture,

Thank you for your insightful posts.

I was actually wanting to PM you, but given I'm a new member this is not possible.

I'm a guy. Have a wide face and chubby cheeks (am not fat in general). I had buccal fat removal few years back and am not happy with the results. The fat came back and now there is a minor asymmetry on one side. I've also had botox treatment, but it can add up here (3 treatments per year at >1K each time).

So I was thinking about going to south korea, having my wisdom teeth removed. Jaw muscles and bone shaved down. Im interested in your thoughts on this?

Ill be keeping a keen eye on your thread. Good luck with your surgery.
