My PS Experience in Korea

[Hanhahh]

Hi, I’ve recently undergone a lip lift, corner lip lift, and tip plasty at Retmus and wanted to share my experience! 

 

A lip lift is something I have always considered doing. So when I came across Retmus and read about how they specialized in lip lifts and the technique that Dr. Chung uses to minimize scarring, I immediately thought it was time and booked my consultation. 

 

My consultation was thorough and pretty straight forward. Dr. Chung recommended for me to do a tip plasty, upper lift lift, and corner lip lift. For my consultation I hired an english interpreter. Even though the doctor speaks and understands english, you’ll still need an english interpreter. So I hired an interpreter for my consultation, surgery, and stitch removal day. 

 

For my surgery, I was really nervous and anxious. But at the same time, I was excited for the change. I remembered going to sleep and waking up from surgery. When I woke up from surgery, I felt great! I had no pain and experienced no side effects from the anesthesia, so I was really happy and grateful.
As for recovery, I didn’t feel any pain. Just a little bit of discomfort from the tension and pressure between the nose and mouth area. I was also advised to wear a nose retainer as much as possible for six months. 2 weeks post-op. My lips and nose is still pretty swollen and numb in some areas. The scar is slowly healing. I can’t fully close my mouth or make a lot of mouth movements yet. It’s still difficult to smile and laugh. It will take some time and I still have a long way to go. Slowly but surely. Everything is healing pretty nicely Overall, I am really happy with the results!
