3.5 year post update can't believe it's been so long. I still think about revision rhino sometimes, but it doesn't affect my quality of life, just my vanity lol. I also think about facelift because I have lower face sagging due to age and loss of mass from masseter Botox and accusculpt. however, I'm not in a rush to do these things and am still waiting to find the right doctor.

Well gang, it's been one year since my operations so this'll be my last update on this thread. A summary: very satisfied with eyes from Dr. Chang of Wannabe, they were exactly what I asked for. The scar from DES is just a thin light line and I have no issues whatsoever threadlift was okay for a month or two but didn't last. save your money for a facelift, unless you're just looking for a temporary lift for a wedding or special occasion acculift along jawline did slim my jaw a bit, but my issue is not fat, it's just sagging due to age. i'm 30 this year :') pretty satisfied with fat graft. I feel that the right amount of fat was retained on my forehead and temples undereye fat repositioning also looks good. i never have hollows under my eyes no matter how tired I actually am not satisfied with nose from Dr. Jin of Premium Nose Clinic. the tip is still bulbous, and it actually healed slightly crooked. this might've been my fault for getting hit, but the result is the result. i feel that i have too much nostril showing, and it feels like the tip dropped too much and/or there's supratip fullness. i don't know what the exact issue is, but i'm not pleased with it. Overall, I'm very pleased with my experience and results with Wannabe. I would probably go back there if I felt that they would be able to do a good job with revision rhino, but I don't feel that's their specialty. I'll be looking into revision rhino, not necessarily in South Korea, but I may just also learn to live with it. My photos this time around were super low effort with my cell phone front camera and I'm tired, but this is pretty much what I look like Hope this helps someone make the right decision, and I'm still on KKT to answer questions (KKT: Chubbybun).

Hi @strawberrytea! Sorry for the late reply Speaking personally for my results-- I honestly don't see much of a result from the Accusculpt/threadlift combo, and I'm not really sure it was worth it. during the first month, my face was very swollen and I wore a compression band for >6 hours a day, longer if I could tolerate it. I felt like I looked like a pumpkin during this time by the second month, the swelling went down but I had limited range of motion in my face, specifically from the threads. I would feel a sharp painful tugging sensation when I smiled or opened my mouth wide. I couldn't even laugh without it hurting! However, my lower face did look slimmer during this time. by the third or fourth month, I felt like the threadlift wore off. I had my range of motion back, but I noticed my jowls/jawline reverting back to what it previously was (rounder, lower), although with slightly less volume (since the Accusculpt removed some fat). I don't feel I can recommend this combination of procedures because the results were VERY temporary for me. It's possible that getting more threads (I had 8 Mint threads, 4 on each side) or your personal physiology might produce longer lasting results.

Forums are a good starting points (even purseforum), but you just have to be wary of which posts are legit and which are from promoters. Usually, in-depth posts with detailed descriptions of consultations at multiple clinics, along with a fair (not excessively praising) evaluation of the poster's clinic of choice, are what I look for as "legit" posts. For me, the most helpful thing that I did while researching clinics was to reach out to people who had personally gone to my clinics of interest over KKT, and ask for their experiences. Try your best to get on Kakao , there are so many resources available through those chat groups. Be prepared to read them almost constantly for months, and reach out to people who've personally gone to the clinics that you think would be a good fit for you. The Kakao chat groups favor smaller clinics and a more independent approach, but there is always the "flavor of the month" and cycles of popularity for various clinics. It's a bit more quiet nowadays due to the Covid19 lockdown/quarantines, but there is still alot of good info (as well as some bad info) floating around. Here's my KKT. If you message me, I'll try to add you to the 2020 Rhinoplasty group if you're not in it already https://open.kakao.com/o/sCHi1WSb

I agree with smilingmonkey! Consult with alot of clinics and see what they suggest, and compare to each other. When I did this, I asked questions like "what procedures do you recommend for me to achieve _____?" rather than asking for specific procedures. One thing to keep in mind is that they may have different suggestions when you consult in person compared to online. Pictures can only show so much, and you should have the in-person consultation with the doctor who will be performing the surgery (rather than just the consultant). The doctor should have the best idea of what procedure will work to achieve the result you ask for. My personal opinion is that it's more important to have a skilled, experienced, and ethical doctor who understands the result you're going for, rather than for you to have an exact idea of what procedure you want ahead of time.

another B&a from more recently. still not keen on the selfie game. front view nose seems to be refining but not much change in the last month. I think I've lost some of the effects from threadlift. if I did another procedure in a couple of years, it might be some sort of face lift for the lower half of my face. wondering if I should keep up with the massater botox or not SORRY GUYS, I'VE FAILED AT LABELING, THE MIDDLE ROW IS ACTUALLY 1 MONTH POST but it's not letting me replace the file ahahaha T_T
-
thank you! Yes, if I had bundled everything with Wannabe, they would have done everything on one day. Rhinoplasty still as the last procedure though
-
yeah definitely, I only check KKT every few days so my response might be delayed, but I'll do my best to get back to any questions https://open.kakao.com/o/sCHi1WSb

hey Bruh! thanks for your update and keeping us informed on your healing progress! I can barely see the slant that you mentioned (I wonder if it's due to slightly more internal swelling on one side than the other?), and your eyes are looking gorgeous isn't it crazy how fast time seemed to pass in the last few months? every week seemed like an eternity to me in the period immediately following having PS, and now it seems to flow together alot more. I'm glad to hear that you are giving it time to settle!

thank you! funnily enough, I gained weight after the surgeries. feel free to message me on KKT with any specific questions and I'll try to get back to you. going alone was not too bad for the procedures that I had done. I think if I had something very invasive like double jaw or any type of bone shaving, I would want someone to be with me during recovery. but the most invasive procedure I had was rhinoplasty, and it was manageable to get around on my own. I definitely stocked up on food and drinks before the surgeries, though. Before getting rhino, I had planned out meals and bought enough food for 5 days post-op, but I ended up being well enough after 3 days to go out and eat at a restaurant I did ask the clinics to help me get taxis back to my airbnb after the surgeries since my Korean speaking ability is exactly 0. Otherwise, I got around using the metro!

wow, your consultations and posts have been SO thorough, thanks for sharing!

thanks for the feedback, everyone, it's appreciated I went alone and I was physically fine during the recovery, but the mental and emotional side was a bit tough. I was in contact with my good friends basically all day, and that made a huge difference. I think if you feel like you have a good remote support system, you should be alright. Dr. Jin's fees are quite high-- i think he is quite busy and it'll be hard to negotiate. if you can bring all cash, you may have some leverage as I think he prefers cash payment. feel free to reach out to me via KKT or discord if you have more questions about fees

Also, here's a quick B&A for those who don't feel like looking at 5000 pictures my "before" pictures are probably not the most flattering pics of me, but that's okay... I'm currently 5 weeks post-op for nose, and 6 weeks post-op for everything else. I went into this journey with the idea that I wanted to look more like my younger self, but with some improvements so far, my friends and colleagues have told me that I still look like me, but... a little different. lots of them had a hard time identifying what I had done, or whether I had anything done at all Overall, I'm pretty happy with how things have turned out so far: I'm very pleased with my eyes and undereye area. Jaw area still feels a bit swollen, but it's definitely slimmer than before. Right now my smile is slightly asymmetrical though Nose is my biggest insecurity right now. It's been the slowest to deswell, and Dr. Jin told me that it will probably take a long time since I have thick skin. Since I had autologous rib cartilage implant, that will take longer to heal than an alloplastic or even donor cartilage implant. I wish my nose were smaller, but I know it'll take more time before it gets to its "final" appearance Rib cartilage harvest site was pretty painful for the first two weeks, but is basically unnoticeable now. I started running and doing calisthenics and yoga again this week, which have felt great
