Hi Secret,
When we have V-line procedure, we have to wear the compress garment afterward, right? Is the compress garment interfere with the fat grafting result? I want to do nose, cheekbone and fat graft. Base on my research, we cannot apply any pressure on the fat graft are. But when I ask this question, the clinic reply to me said that it's not a problem, I can do all at the same time. I'm confuse.

hi mina,
When i did v-line in beautyforever they didnt let me wear facial compression garment they said it delays deswelling, i know 2 people from october's group whom i met and did their surgery in the clinic they did v-line and full face fat graft at the same time.

you need several sessions to make it permnant, some ppl get it right after one session depending on how fast ur metabolism is.

Actually lenna my recovery was considered fast comparing to other patients as per my translator/friend and the clinic. the bruising under my eyes from the nose surgery took around one month to lighten but I can say there are still some color that didnt go away (septoplasty was tough surgery) and my facial swelling from v-line was subsided just a bit on day 10 but my face looked "normal" or maybe as round as how it was before the surgery. my doctor said the longer it takes to cut the chin/jaw during the surgery the bigger the swelling and the longer it'll stay but that also depending on each body and how it was prepared before the surgery. my v-line surgery took only 50 mins. only shaving, no t-cuts or screws, therefore less trauma and damage to the tissue so less swelling. but I admit I also did what it takes to reduce swelling as soon as possible, things like: limiting salty food, walking, keeping myself hydrated and drinking fluids, deswelling massage from the clinic was amazing and that gave me shocking result after just one session and I believe it helped to deswell faster.

Wow your v-line was done in 50minutes, mine took about 3 hours! I had mine 4 days ago. But mine had T-osteotomy and screws put in, so I don't know how long the actual bone-cutting took. Still, I guess my swelling will take longer to subside than yours then.

Anyway congrats on your successful surgeries! I think u must be quite a strong person, because a lot of pple complain about pain from V-line and Especially from the lipo to extract the fat for grafting, but u seem to be able to handle all that really well. Best wishes )

heyy girly thank u!!!
i guess ur v-line took longer becuz the method is quiet complicated, my doctor only shaved the sides without cutting or adding screws. I wish u speedy recovery with no complications pls take ur medicines on time and dont forget to gargle after every meal for atleast a month and hang on there thank god u r over with this surgery and u just have take good care of ur health and nutritions and wait for the result i've been thru hell first few days but yes I didnt expect that I had a higher pain tolerance than I thut and yes I did have pain on my thighs from the liposuction that was for the fat graft and it lasted about a month.

Hi makemeup, I dont know the name of the injection becuz they only told me that it helped with faster recovery, im guessing it could be a stronger type of antibiotic injection? im sorry but I didnt ask them. and I cant be sure if it helped at all becuz I tried to do a lot of things to heal faster like drinking protein and taking healing vitamins etc.
I posted a side view and front view pics of my nose 2 months after surgery, before surgery, my nose was very bad, low tip, hump, and deviated septum. View attachment 2419521

Thank you for sharing your success story. Your nose is already perfect just after two months, I would love to see the result after 6 months or even at 4 months. Do you know how many mm of your implant? Besides ear cartilage, did the doctor use septum cartilage to built your tip? Is the implant used to raise the bridge or to smooth out the bone shaping?
How did you chose the two specific clinics to visits? I assume that you must have done a lot of research and have confident in those two. Did you finalize your clinics base on good reviews, B & A photos, etc....?
I've been researching for quite sometime now just to have a nose revision and still get stuck with decision making. I appreciate any input that you can share.
You are so brave and I hope to hear from you soon.

Hey how are you doing with the recovery

 

[sadcupcake]

Wow, your nose looks perfect now.

It has been a while i have not logged in, Im happy to finally be here to share with u my PS jorney that took place last october. i need to mention that im no good in writing stories nor good in english so forgive me if i mispell any word and if i miss a point or if you want to know a certain detail u can always ask me and i'll answer any question as soon as possible. please do not send me any PM or ask about my kakao ID. i'll be on the forum every day so i'll reply within 24 hours.

i was not happy with the way i looked and whenever i look at myself in the mirror i feel surprised because i 've always imagined myself looking differently, way different than what i originally looked like in reality. Im half asian and half arabian. im in my mid 20s, never felt happy or confident in my teenage years, i thought i looked either too old or either too young, used to have a round chubby face weither i gained weight or lost it. my nose was crooked and i had a hump and tip was too low. forhead was boney and my lower face always looked too full. i looked weird!!!! no contouring or magic makeup tips could hide my insecurities. i was one of those girls who swore to never go under the knife, not that i was against plastic surgery or gainst the ppl who done it, i was just too scared to even think of going thru the pain so.. i wasted alot of money (almost more than what i paid for my surgery) on cosmetics and creams trying to fix my problems using (non invasive methods) but nothing has helped, until 3 or 4 yrs ago i took the idea of plastic surgery the other way and actually decided to do it.

sooo.. i've been educating myself alot before planning this surgery and finally earlier this year i have managed to pull a loan to make this dream finally come true! so i was mentally ready for all the risks and complications that might come from this surgery and financialy ready too! but i was worried of going alone to a country i have not been to before and not knowing the language which makes hiring a translator a must to do, and i was also scared to end up dying from infection if (god forbids) a complication occurs while i rest in my hotel with nobody beside me. i was searching for translators and came up with few andcontacted them, i personally didnt feel 100% ok about them but that was just me.. after some time i learned that most translators take very high commissions from ur surgery price explains why forigners pay soo much while locals pay way less. i thought i was gonna end up with them any way thinking i dont have another choice since most clinics in korea dont have english translators but until a close date to my trip i couldnt choose any of those translators, and then i met Aeri online. I never met her before. but she was nice and she was speaking fairly good english. honestly i thought at the begining that she was bound to one clinic so i didnt ask to hire her as my translator but we continued to talk about other stuff and we became friends. i only recieved a good vibe from her so i was comfortable with her. i eventually i asked her if shes committed to one clinic and she said no so i asked her if she could be my translator and she agreed. i also believed that she doesnt take any commission beside translation fees and i felt happy about my decision. altho i still didnt know which clinic to go with until i was in korea. i only made appointments with 2 clinics, Girin and Goowonsesang (beautyforever).

i arrived in seoul on 27 sep, Aeri was with me on kakao messenger all the way ever since i landed, she was providing me all the info i need and told me where to rent phone and wifi egg and which bus to take and how much to pay, she wrote me messages in korean to show them to people if in cases i get lost or needed help. things went smoothly and i arrived in the central of seoul on time to go to my first appointment with Girin clinic.

My opinion about Girin clinic is that.. the female reciptionists looked really cute and pretty, consultant lady was really really cute!! Place was too small though.. doctor was nice. and seemed smart.. and they qouted me very good price for all the procedures i wanted.. 13 milion won. the reason i didnt go with them is that i didnt like the idea of having only 1 doctor to perform 4 procedures (v-line, complete nose reconstruction, acculift and fat graft), v-line and nose septoplasty surgery are two major surgeriesa nd prefered to have each one with a specialist. so i decided that i didnt want to go with girin and went to beautyforever.p for a consultation.

i arrived there and met the consultant who greeted us with warm smile. my translator did the talk since she knew already what i wanted to get done, i met with 2 doctors, dr cho for facial contouring, and dr lee for nose, acculift and fat graft for my cheeks and forhead. i liked both doctors and i felt that i would go with this clinic. we discussed the price and the lowest they could give me is 17.5 mil, i was okay with the price because i expected to be charged much more knowing that most clinics charge double for forigners but what disturbed me is that i had to wait for 3 days to do the surgery. plus i needed to pay some amount to book for surgery date (i forgot how much i paid exactly) but it was not full amount because i only brought with me 10K usd in cash. and they would charge 10% more for tax if i paid with credit card. so i agreed to pay in cash and managed later to transfer the rest of the money to Aeri's personal bank account and she has withdrew them and paid the clinic on surgery day.

this is turning into a novel so i'll try to say whats important and keep it short and informative. stayed at aeri's house for nearly one month in korea, she lived outside seoul but it wasn't very far and transportation by subway and bus was rather easy. before coming to korea i have shipped to her house some of my protein powder, vitamins and medical pillow, as u must sleep with ur head elevated for few days right after surgery, went around seoul and did some shopping to prepare myself before surgery day on october 1.

the surgeries i have done were:
- v-line (no t-cuts or titanium screws).
- nose septoplasty and rhinoplasty: deviated nasal septum correction, droopy tip correction with ear cartliadge, hump removal, otestomy, I shaped silcon implant, alar base reduction.
- Acculift: jaw line and double chin.
- Facial fat graft: upper cheeks and forhead.

i stayed one night in the clinic on surgery day and was discharged at 5 pm next day, had a bad experience with one of the nurses so they tried to make it up for me giving me free injection that would help me recover faster worth 300 usd. overall i was satisfied with the doctors work and the consultant. but 1st 2 days after my surgery were hell. i dont remember having pain from v-line or nose, maybe i had some pain but i felt the most pain on my eyes from breaking the nose during the surgery and that affected my eyes and caused them bruising that slowly faded with time. i also felt some pain from acculift and on my thighs where they extracted fat to implant them on my forhead and cheeks. but they were minor pain. i had no problem with my nose and v-line. i could easily eat and talk normally on day 5. i lived on porridge and protein shakes for first few days and started eating meat and solid food 1 week later. had my worst swelling starting day 3 till day 6 then it slowly subsided and i think i looked normal 3 weeks post surgery.

please do not ask me for my before and after pictures. after so much thoughts. i decided i cant post my pics online or send them to ppl i dono. if u happen to hire aeri, u may look at my pics in her phone, she has all my before, during recovery, and after, i wont mind u seeing them, but i appologize again i wont be posting or sending pics online for privacy reasons.


Thank you for your being so informative and sharing your experience with us. I am new to this site and I have been very interested in the v line surgery to reduce the width of my face. I've always been very self conscious of the my wide shape. Everm and banobagi are 2 of the clinics I'm looking into. And also beauty forever since you talked about it. I would need a translator also so I would like to know how I can get in touch with aeri. She sounds like a very caring person and she took really good care of you. Did you ever look into everm or banobagi.
