earthyong Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Hello im new here i was thinking about to go to korea to have cosmetic surgery but i saw the news about the MERS in korea How is the status??it seems like decreasing but i just want to hear about your opinions
floweryy Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Will shaving bones around the jawline cause drooping in the future? Which technique will not cause drooping? I have a wide face and would like to get a narrower, feminine v-shape.
hj88 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 It depends how much bone you are shaving, how old you are, the condition of your skin etc. I don't think there's a specific technique as such that prevents drooping but obviously go to an experienced surgeon to minimise the risk. As a general rule, the bigger the area being shaved, the greater the risk of sagging as you are removing the structure the holds the skin up.
tari_tigerlily Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 hi hj88 what kind of lifting procedures can one do to prevent sagging from cheekbone and jaw reduction ? preferably something that can be done at the same time. any ideas?
hj88 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Cheekbone is a much higher risk of sagging than jaw. Any doctor that tells you there's no chance of sagging from zygoma is lying to your face. Also, there are many different methods available for the zygoma reduction surgery so make sure you've done your reading and chosen the best surgical method to tackle your particular issue. You can do Acculift or Power V procedures to counteract sagging at the same time as your primary surgery. For more drastic results to counter severe sagging you would be looking at some kind of lifting procedure. Lower face lifts with threads are popular in Korea but western surgeons prefer the full lift lower face lift (where they come in through small insertion along your earline) and remove the excess skin as well as lift. I don't think this would be done at the same time though. Probably once the sagging appears or 6 months down the track etc.
tracylimmm Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Did they draw your blood right before surgery???
hj88 Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 If you are going under GA they have to take blood to make sure you're healthy enough to undergo surgery. Some will do a whole suite of tests (heart, urine, chest X-ray, scan your jaw etc)
tracylimmm Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 has anyone here who has undergone V line noticed that their masseter muscle shrank and got slimmer after surgery?? please help!
hj88 Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Nope. I wish though! It would save me getting botox to slim it down
tari_tigerlily Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 hello anyone can tell me how long does one have to wear the headband after zygoma & vline surgery? e.g. how many hours a day, wear it in the morning or night, how many days or weeks i really appreciate if someone can share this information with me? 😅
hj88 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I think "officially" you wear it non-stop until your bandages come off, then whenever you can for the first month or so. Ie whenever you are at home, or sleeping etc. However, I have found that even 4 months post-op the residual swelling I still have noticeably contracts if I wear my headband overnight. I just pop it on when I get home from work and take it off the next day. This is by no means a requirement though - just something that I've found has worked for me. Also, until now I have had a tiny bit of numvness still in one part of my chin, so contracting the muscle has helped If you don't have any swelling or numbness that's bugging you probably you wouldn't have to bother with the strap this far post-op though.
tari_tigerlily Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 There's just usually not much details about the head strap when most ppl write their reviews. Thank you hj88 😊 you've been a big help.
