The face dental experience

[honii]

Sorry to be asking more questions - but when you consulted online, who did you talk to? I used kakao and I am talking to Olivia, but I thought that I should be talking to Dr Lee

The v line surgery comes with a risk of sagging no matter who you are. Because you’re cutting away bone structure that supports your skin, muscles and fats on your face.
Even if someone does not sag immediately after surgery, that person would sag earlier/faster than without the surgery!
I know it sounds sad but this is something that comes with the V line surgery. Only go for the surgery if you have accepted the side effects~

Hi, thank you so much for writing this review. I am also seriously TFD for facial contouring.

May I ask if TFD has an English speaking consultant ? Because in my experience dr Lee answered my kakao inquiries himself, I’m very surprised because all other clinics I contacted, it was the consultant who answered

I spoke directly to Dr Lee! Did you contact them through the kakao ID on their website?
Olivia might be an external agent who might charge you an additional fee! Be careful(:

You’re welcomed!
Dr Lee replied to my messages himself(: which is one of the plus points that made me choose them!

I have gained so much knowledge and information from others on this forum that I thought it’d only be right to share my experience.

I am typing this as I’m preparing to leave Seoul, I was here for a total of about 3 weeks and underwent eyelid surgery (for my right eye) at JK and V-line surgery at the face dental.

I came to Seoul alone and was skittish and frankly quite scared. But i wanted to fix the asymmetry in my right eye and my jaw. I always had insecurities about asymmetry that was compounded by comments from others that I only looked “pretty” from my left side.

I underwent my (right) eyelid surgery before the V line surgery at the face dental. Which resulted in many issues with changing the schedule with Dr. Lee. However, he was always very accommodating and understanding even though I gave the clinic so many last minute changes in my consultation timings.

The consultation with Dr Lee made me feel safe and assured that I was in good hands. He has a very warm and friendly personality, I also felt assured because I was able to contact him directly through kakaotalk instead of through a consultant.
I ended up keeping my zygoma bones due to Dr Lee’s recommendation that I did not need the surgery. Which I greatly appreciated as it showed me that he truly cares for his patients and not just the money.
The clinic has a homely feel, most of the nurses can speak basic English and Dr Lee is very fluent in English. So communication was okay.

The hardest part about the whole process was waking up after surgery.
It was so difficult to wake up from the GA, my head felt like it was spinning and I don’t even know how to describe the feeling in my throat.
If you’re considering getting this procedure please be mentally prepared for the discomfort and pain of being unable to drink water for 4 hours after the surgery.
It doesn’t sound like much, but it was the most torturous thing I have experienced.
Thankfully the nurses on the floor were so kind and attentive, they kept checking on me.
I felt much better about 3 hours in the recovery room and was even able to take the subway back to the hotel in the evening!

The swelling peaked at about 3/4 days after the surgery and I looked normal (just chubbier from the swelling) at about 1.5-2 weeks after the surgery.

I love that I was able to see Dr Lee about 5 times after the surgery. I had so many uncertainties and questions and it felt reassuring to be able to see him personally.

I’m not sure if I covered everything about my experience, please feel free to ask me any questions.

I stayed for 3 weeks! and landed in Incheon airport!
The clinic didn’t pick me up from the airport~ I researched beforehand on the buses that would take me to my hotel

I’m interested in going to TFD for v-line as well as I have a square jaw. So brace that you’re going alone! I want to find someone to go with for the same procedure as I live in the US. Thank you for the tips!
