I scheduled 5-6 but only went to 3. No if you cancel ahead I think.

 

I did my BA on Saturday and go to work on Monday. Don't worry! The pain and discomfort is quite bearable.

 

Thank you

I took many days off for FC in Seoul so I cannot take days off now. Also I did it on Saturday so I had Sunday off For the first night & 2nd day I think the pain is from the BA, I had 2 drainage tubes for my BA too which made it more uncomfortable (my sister didn't have this for her BA - I think it depends on the doctor). Lipo pain feels like muscle pain when you go to the gym after a long time so it's bearable. Today I feel a lot better, mainly just uncomfortable because of the tight compression band for both my breast & belly. The pain is unnoticeable now.

 

Thank you! I'm from VN! My sister did her BA many years ago in Thailand and said it was not painful at all so I didn't expect pain at all. Also I thought FC would have been the worst but TBH it can't be compared haha. The first night was tough. I woke up every hour because of the pain. 2nd night (last night) was better - I could sleep until the morning. Back to work today still painful but it's bearable today, plus I took pain medicine.

Thank you!! I remember you also want to do many procedures at once. Good luck !!

 

*little update: I DID MY BREAST LIFT + IMPLANT (250cc) + LIPO (belly + love handle + back) YESTERDAY HERE IN MY HOME COUNTRY. YAY.
I couldn’t wait until the corona is over to travel to SK hehe. I think it’s been 30 hours since operation. I was discharged from the hospital 24 hours after. The incision is around my nipple. With the breast lift it cannot be done under arm. It’s very painful guys. I think I could feel more pain with this procedure than with FC but anyway I’m so happy. I think I’m done with my PS journey (for now). Haha.

 

Sorry I'm not really comfortable sharing photos For multiple surgeries at once, I think it mostly depends on your decision. I think waiting may give better result as you can see if you need it or not, but doing all in one save a lot of GA time which also is good (?) Plastic surgeries are a bunch of hard decisions haha.

 

May I ask where is the incision for thigh lipo? Is it in the back or front?

 

Yes, totally a glossy balloon for 2 weeks haha. I only did zygoma + vline, no fat graft. I'm only at 3 month now so I haven't seen any sagging or dropping yet, so I haven't consider any other procedures. Right now I'm just trying to do good skincare & massage for my face to improve its elasticity as the swelling goes down, like how people treat their belly after pregnancy. Hehe. When I asked before some clinic even refuse to do other facial procedure at the same time with FC, saying that I have to do separately and at least 3-6 months apart

 

After I did my zygoma surgery, my face was swollen and a lot bigger than normal so my skin was very tight, very glowy, like a glossy balloon. As the swelling goes down my skin gradually changes back to its normal state. I think it's better to do acculift after the skin go back to normal or when there is sign of sagging... My skin immediately post op was like the best I've ever seen of it despite the bruises LOL.

 

I'm wanting to do a breast augmentation/breast lift + lipo at the same time. I'm looking for big hospitals/clinics that do multiple surgeries and have in-house anesthesiologist. I'm looking at Dream, ID, View, and JW. Does anyone have any other recommendations? I know that these clinics have some bad reviews here, so I'm a bit worried. If you had good/bad experiences here please share
Also, my plan is to do BA + lipo for me and anti-aging surgery (SMAS lifting) for my mom, preferably during the same trip. I had my eye on Regen before but again, due to the bad reviews, I'm thinking again. So any clinic recommendation for her anti aging surgery would help too!!
Thank you!

 

May I ask which surgeon you're set on? I'm also wanting to do lifting with no implant, but I don't like the scar. I checked View's website yesterday and they can do the incision around the nipple if the breast sagging is not too severe, but TBH i'm a bit skeptical about View with all the drama people shared on this forum...

 

I'm also interested in doing breast lift but am a bit worried about the scar. Did you do your breast lift?

 

I think buccal fat is the fat on your cheek hollow only while facial lipo can be anywhere like the cheeks, chin, neckline and jawline. With buccal fat removal they make incisions inside and remove it (like taking the whole piece/fat pad out?) while for facial lipo the fat is vacuumed(?) out. Sorry IDK the right word.

 

I did not experience neck swelling, only a little yellow bruise from week 1 to week 2. Did you see other doctor in your country? If the swelling is still severe at 4 months, maybe consider seeing a doctor who can prescribe some medicine for you if it helps. Hope you'll get better.

 

I don't know for sure but before I did my zygoma surgery, I did some research about buccal fat removal too. It seems like the fat gives your face youthfulness. Removing it makes the face hollow? Like when you do the fish face to contour your face when doing make up... Not sure if you see what I'm describing. Of course many people like having their face like that, it gives the skinny impression. But I saw many many people say that it makes them look older.

 

Glad it was helpful.

 

I considered him too but he was away when I was in Korea for consultation so I just skipped seeing him and had surgery at another place. I dodged a bullet. So so sorry this happened to you. Do you have any plan next?

 

OMG this is horrible. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I saw so many good reviews of Regen & Dr. Oh before, only recently did bad reviews show up. So unethical of him to always do things that the patient DIDN'T want to do!!

 

Personally, I think you look very pretty. I did rhino and facial contouring, I like natural results.
I did my rhino very long time ago and didn't do much research about it, but I really like the proportion of your nose. Is reduced alar = smaller nose? If I were you I'd like the tip a little bit higher and that's about it.
I don't think your cheekbone is a problem. I don't think you should do anything about it (I did cheekbone surgery but my cheekbone is way bigger and way more prominent). I also don't think your jaw is big. Your face is already sooooo smalllllllllll. The no make up front face pic looks like the jaw is a little uneven, but it might be just the chewing muscle because you chew a lot on that side and not a bone problem? So yeah I don't think you need jaw surgery, even though MAYBE a vline surgery may even your jaw a little (if it's really uneven and is a bone problem) - but it will be just going from a 9 to a 10 and not worth such a big surgery I think. Not very necessary.
I have no experience with double eyelid surgery, but I think if you do it do it very gently. It seems like you already had double eyelid, just not very clear.

 

You look so much younger

 

Sorry, I'm not very comfortable sharing my photos on the internet just sharing my clinic's name for OP's consideration. But there was a girl who had vline surgery a few months months before me posted her pic here on the forum though (pretty sure she's a real patient because we talked since a few days post op of her and still talk until now - 3 months post op of me and maybe 6 months ish of her?). Maybe you can search for her thread.

Thank you Good luck !!

 

I hesitated so much too. Deciding is a hard process and also a very important one. Hehe

 

In my country, unless I die or my health is severely damaged in someway, there wouldn't be much I can do about being botched anyway; so I'm not really worried about that. The most I can do is maybe get some of my money back? I'd rather trust that an experienced doctor in the kingdom of plastic surgery can deliver a good result for me than going to a doctor in my country only because it's easier for me to get my money back if things go wrong... But this is just my country. If you live in US there might be more to consider.

 

Personally I think that even if they don't plan to increase their prices, no business would promise that they will keep their price the same for sure in the future. I work in a totally different field but our quotations always say that the price is valid for a short amount of time only.

 

Congrats! For how long did you take Accutane?
