Hi everyone,
I am now week 7 post op from cheekbone reduction and here to share the progress in healing.

The incision marks by my sideburns have faded a lot since using the scar gel I bought in Korea. Now I can tie up my hair and go out fine

There is still some stubborn residual swelling in my lower cheeks when I smile, which can last up to six months. However nobody can tell I've had surgery by now. My face looks skinnier than before, but the swelling in my lower cheek makes the face a bit more bottom heavy than before. I'm not too worried about that as it will go away eventually.

I have mentioned before the positive effects that I noticed from the surgery, such as having a narrower face and enhancing my other features like making my eyes appear larger. As the swelling goes down my face looks more balanced and slimmer but also longer. I have a diamond shaped face. At first I thought my protruding cheekbones made me look tough and older, and surgery can make me look a lot younger, but now that my cheekbones are reduced I see that my my face looks more feminine, but not younger nor older after surgery because after my cheekbone was reduced, it made my face look longer than before too which makes it look older, but the softer facial contour makes me look younger, so it kindof balanced out.

I still have a slight diamond shape face, but the cheekbones do not look harsh anymore. Im glad my previous face shape is retained yet enhanced through the surgery. People just think my face slimmed down. I'm glad that some of my cheekbones are kept because it keeps some volume in my face which is important to looking young. Overly reduced faces will look long, flat, thin and old, and it's important to know that once the bone structure is reduced its hard to fix it back. As you age, your facial bones will naturally get smaller. You still need bone to support the structure of your face, and can add more volume by fat graft or implant, but won't be the same as bone.

For aftercare, I am still wearing the compression mask at home. I was instructed to keep wearing it for 3 months when possible. I've gotten used to it but I do look forward to the day that I can just go without it.

I am still taking 1000mg of vit C and a bunch of other vitamins like ALA and MSM as recommended by another cotter to help with nerve healing, anti-inflammation, and as an antioxidant.

After this surgery I realized there are so many things that could have gone wrong such as sagging, asymmetry, over reduction, etc. Beauty is also subjective so it is very important that you have clear communication with the surgeon and have the same idea of what is beautiful.

Bone surgery of any type will be obvious and will alter the balance of your face. I am happy that I went with a more natural surgery. A big overhaul could have made me much prettier, but it could also carry just as much risk of me not liking it. My results didn't give me a "perfect" face, but I'm happy with the natural results and subtle improvements.

Thank you for you update on your procedure. I'm glad to here that everything is going as planned and that you are happy with your outcome. It means a lot to see you play the risk and reward on what you want in a procedure and going for what you think is beautiful, and not what the doctor thinks. I'm going for zygoma reduction, and I have no idea how to go about telling them how much I want reduce. Can you explain how you told them? did you present a picture of a celebrity and said you wanted something similar? Also, did the swelling reach towards your eyes? I heard that there was an option to go through the buccal mucosa (the inside of the mouth) to get cheek reduction, what made you get the sideburn route? THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I can confirm that doing v-line or jaw surgery together with rhinoplasty is a total nightmare! It's hard to breath already with the severe swelling in the mouth and in addition the nose is blocked, it was really anxious sometimes.. like I was gonna be choked any minute

can i ask what jaw surgery you have done? and where? how do you like your results?

Thank you for that information. I think I will be getting a mini vline..? We'll see when I get there. I'm going to consult with the doctor hoping that is a go for me to get all those done. If others can do it, I think I can manage. Thank you so much for the concern and I really do appreciate it I think the vline can't really do much for my nose. I don't have a typical asian nose, i have a hump and a weird butt tip, lol. So a rhinoplasty and vline is a MUST! are you going to korea? or have any work done?

By the way guys...

Which Samsung clinic is the one that's really popular with the locals again??
Is it Samsung Line or KSamsung or SamsungPS ..Which Samsung? This is confusing. I don't know which branch they may be talking about coz I think they're all different. Also, What do they specialize at?

Hey HushBeauty, I'm thinking to visit Korea 13 August, wondering if you are still planning to go as well? Perhaps we can buddy up?

Yay! I got my nose done with Doc Sung of JW.

How was it? What anaesthetic did you have? How long did it take for you to recover? I am going without telling my hubby. I have only a little over 2 weeks...not sure how the scare will heal....who took care of you afterwards?

Just received response from [email protected]


We recommend REX and MVP , cos they are the best recommends from patients who had surgeries there before. With quality surgery skill and fees.
We charge airport pick up fee and translating fee. Airport pick up is 85,000-90,000 won, translate is from 40,000 won for 4 hours .
If you need after surgery care , will charge 100,000 won per day.
We have korean and Chinese staffs, depends on our customers.

What are your thoughts? So far JW has most positive feedbacks...so confused right now...my first nose job epically failed so I'm very skeptical...

I totally forgot, but does anyone know any plastic surgery clinics that specialize in making people look like "ulzzang?" Anyone ever get love bands? if so, did you get implants or did you get a filler?
