I am almost at 6 months post op from ID. For the first 5 months, I regretted having the surgery because I didn't like my face. But suddenly, at six months, I'm happy because my face looks much better. It took me six months to heal and I'm still healing. I had the "works" done and I stayed two nights at the ID after care facility. My rating of the after care department is maybe 3 stars, if that. But it was acceptable. All in all, I believe they gave me what I was achieving for. It was expensive but I got special guest privileges, like pickup and drop off services and after skincare, which were very nice indeed. Going to ID has had its ups and downs, but lately there's a lot more ups. I'm older so it took long to heal.

 

Hi itsumobaby. What's happening with your case these days? Are pursuing a fight with ID? I am going through surgery mishaps from ID hospital, as well. They took a lot of money from me but didn't deliver as promised. I asked Dr. Park three times if he was sure that I would be beautiful and younger after the surgery. He assured me with a "yes" each time. I'm not more beautiful and I look older and more tired after surgery. Now, the consultant suggests I go back for more procedures. When I asked if it would cost me more money, I got no reply. I wouldn't go to them for anymore procedures anyways even if it was free. They gave me a thread lift that did absolutely nothing for me except give me swelling for 3 months, and the full face fat graft that I paid for was only administered into my forehead which BTW has all re-absorbed except for the uneven patches of fat remaining. The two jaw surgery and V-Line were done too aggressively making the skin on the entire lower region of my face to sag like a St. Bernard dog. My mouth is permanently turned downwards. The Zygoma reduction was done unskillfully so I have big fat cheekbones in the front of my face. I am now looking for a facelift, necklift, lip lift specialist just so I can just look normal. Trying my best to make sure that my next surgery doesn't leave me looking even worse.

 

Hi Motherhen, thank you for reading my story. Sorry it was so long. I do get wordy Hehehe. I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you by Dr. Kwon. I was shocked. I so wanted his caring, skilled expert hands to fix my issues. I went through his blogs and he seemed to have good knowledge on patients who have had aggressive bone contouring like me. He was able to point out many issues that I was experiencing. It made me feel relief that someone understands. His fees were very reasonable too. But after the way he treated you, I am perplexed! I feel that I need his expertise but now I don't know if I can trust him.

I will contact you by kakaoTalk. Thank you.

 

Yes, I think you're right. I think he withheld the information so I won't worry about it adding more headache to his day.

The tissue elasticity for us older gals is most troublesome it seems. My surgeon did not say a thing about it. I had concerns about it and asked prior to surgery but he, with a straight face told me that a V3 thread lift would take care of that. I didn't worry about it. The combination of the aggressive jawline contouring, setting my lower jaw back 8mm, and my poor old skin, I turned out making me look even older. I now have this constant frown and crumpled up chin. It has gotten better though. I just have to always be purposely smiling to hold up my sagging jowls. It was far worse in the beginning and got better and better.

 

What happened with your facelift and where did you go?

 

Thank you for writing to me, MrsKing. Being in my late forties now, and since my kids are mostly grown, I really had been looking forward to following my dreams of getting back some of my lost youth and beauty and to finally pursue my life goals. This desire had been lingering in me for a while. I had my first child rather young and so I didn't have the freedom to enjoy my youth much. I was always a mom first. Then, after having four children with my childhood sweetheart, he decided that the family life was not for him and deserted us. When I finally got the chance to start "fixing" myself, I felt that I took my time researching for the best. When I thought I found it, I was so happy. I got a facelift, browlift, liposuction and other procedures in Beverly Hills. It was expensive but my thoughts were; the surgeon's in Beverly Hills, he has been in business for over 20 years, he's triple board certified, he's got excellent reviews... he's got to be good! And I suppose he was good for some, according to his reviews. But he certainly wasn't good for me. I was treated horrendously after surgery. My liposuction wounds were left un-dressed. Yes! He left all of them open on my back! I was draining everywhere. My clothes were soaked and I was shaking like crazy because I was freezing. (I went in at 6am and I woke up from surgery in the evening. It was dark!) The doctor was nowhere in sight and the two nurses were standing over me fighting to dress my wet body into my zip-up hoody and sweat pants, so they could hurry and go home. Then, they both picked me up by my arms and carried me to my caretaker's car, which BTW, I had to scream for them to stop before throwing me into the front seat, so that I wouldn't destroy her car upholstery with my blood soaked back. They quickly grabbed the floor mat of the car and threw it on the seat, before throwing me on top of it. That wasn't the end of it but I'll cut it short to say that my complete results from most of the procedures, were terrible. This happened in November, 2012. I was very depressed and became recluse.

Then, I discovered ID hospital and the jaw bone contouring craze. I went back and forth with their consultant online for about six months and even went all the way to Korea to meet Dr. Park face to face. I had a cross bite, under bite, uneven bite, asymmetrical face, long face, wide face, you name it, I had it. He told me that I should do this, this and that and assured me that I would look young and beautiful. I was totally sold. So, then later, I went back to Korea with tons of money and had the surgery. I realized that I had made a mistake immediately after surgery, when I took my side profile picture. Swollen or not, my lower jaw did not look right. It was receding way too much. However, they kept telling me that my surgery was successful and told me to give it time. I am now going on five months. Originally, I had wide cheekbones but they were cut and moved to the front of my face. They look too big and long on my face now. They moved my lower jaw back too much so now I have a receding chin. They tilted my upper jaw forward, making the space between my nose and upper lip too long. They cut too much bone off my jawline and chin, so now, all the extra skin leftover, looks like I have no jawline at all under my ears, and my neck skin sags more. My newly developed double chin skin is bulky and uneven. The corners of my mouth are turned downwards and my jowls make me look like a St. Bernard dog. I look older than I did before surgery. When I contact them, they tell me to wait. First it was 30 days, then 3 months, now it's six months. I'm sure, next will be one or two years. I also had the thread lift and fat graft. The thread lift results are completely non existent and the fat graft has mostly re-absorbed except for some bulky unevenness on my forehead.

Before surgery, I wasn't gorgeous but I had my moments where people have told me that I was beautiful. I was told often that I looked younger than my age. After my botched surgery in Beverly Hills, my face looked the same except I wasn't happy about the visible scars (and non-existent browlift results). But now, after ID, I look older and not at all beautiful. They took my money and completely destroyed me! And judging by their email correspondence, I'm pretty sure they have no intentions of helping me unless I pay more money.

Still, I'm determined to live the life of my dream. I've been researching specialists for facelift, necklift, browlift, smile lift and Rhinoplasty. After my jaw surgery, a nose job is necessary because it is now out of proportion with my face. I had really hoped that Aone was the place that would finally do it for me. I have been going back and forth with the emails but now after reading posts in this forum, I'm scared that they're just another commercialized factory. I can't afford another heartbreak from heartless surgeons. I now just want to look normal but I'm scared that the next one will leave me looking worse.

 

Maybe you're right about fat graft being done locally but as far as surgeons locally or abroad, I've lost all faith. I've had many surgeries locally (USA) and in Korea. What I read on this forum about Aone is exactly what I experienced at ID Hospital after giving them tons of money in the hopes of, after raising four kids alone, to finally living the life of my dreams. Instead they destroyed what beauty I did have and then they couldn't be bothered by me anymore. They even had the nerve to tell me to come back to pay more for more procedures. Locally, was no better. Before ID, I had a facelift, browlift and liposuction among other things in Beverly Hills. Again, I dished out tons of money, the surgeon, Harrison Lee, gave me less than acceptable results and he couldn't be bothered with me. Now, I'm just looking to repair this sagging lower face of mine so I can have a little dignity when I face people. I had my hopes up for aone but I am hopeless one again.

 

I had Aone at the top of my list to get my facelift, browlift, smile lift and fat graft, after getting my face destroyed after two jaw, V-line and Zygoma reduction at ID hospital. Too much bone was removed and the skin in my lower face sags very much. I thought I finally found a sympathetic and skilled surgeon to finally give me what I was looking for but after reading your posts, it appears that he is exactly the same as Dr. Park at ID. While I was reading your account of how he was so humble in the beginning, to how he couldn't be bothered anymore afterwards, I almost thought I was reading about ID.
