Hi everyone I will be sharing my experience for my facial contouring with TLPS which took place on 8/3/2016. I did some research on facial contouring and chose to go with TLPS, I saw online(TLPS website) That they had no accidents for facial contouring for the past 16 years and they don't use any shadow doctors. These info are not found on their website anymore I don't know why. So I met my consultant Melissa on the 7/3/2016. Talked to her about my face and she suggested that I should do my cheeks and do a chin implant. Which is what I initially wanted. After talking to melissa for a good 15 minutes or so we moved up and did a 3DCT scan and met Dr.Choi. The doctor suggested that I do cheekbone reduction(Not sure if it's quick zygoma or 3D zygoma) long curved jaw reduction and T osteotomy & sliding genioplasty(move my chin forward to hide my protruding mouth).At that time they have a promotion of 7.77KRW for jaw/cheek/chin surgery. And through the 3DCT scan I noticed that my jaw is pretty uneven so I agreed with his recommendations. I was quoted 8.5mil for the surgeries, did not bargain/negotiate and agreed on the price. Did blood test, heart test and urine test. Melissa told me I had to fast starting from 7AM the next day. So I did. Arrived at the clinic for surgery and waited for abit coz they had to get me to sign some contracts which I did not get to keep. So after the signing of the contracts and the consultants and nurses constant assurance that everything will be ok, went down to basement(their surgery levels) They tied me up and after a while I was put to sleep, next moment I opened my eyes, the surgery was over. Felt super sleepy right after the surgery and I couldn't walk properly so 2 nurses helped me on my feet and got me to the bed on their surgery levels(Same level where I had my surgery) to rest and one of the chinese consultant kept telling me to stay awake as I was really super sleepy and felt like closing my eyes, so after about 15minutes I was wide awake and the chinese consultant brought me up to level6/7/8(I forgot) to rest for the night. I kept coughing and felt like vomiting for 3/4 times. The next day I was discharged and they had a car to send me back to my hotel. Up to this point I was unable to close my mouth and kept drooling(with blood). Melissa told me the first night would be the worst but really the 2nd day was the worst for me. Thought I was gonna die and I texted everyone in my family that I love them and etc..And i cried like a little b1tch from the replies I got from my brother (I feel like a girl now thinking of it. So much drama haha). But really it was really really bad because I couldn't drink water properly and couldn't take the meds, drooled all over the bed sheets of my hotel and used tons of tissue. Was not able to reach melissa as she went to japan and her phone was not working. So the 2nd day was really the WORST for me. But I just kept trying to sleep and come the 3rd day I felt much better, forced the medications down and I really felt alot better throughout the day. So day 3 I had a appointment with TLPS and the car came to fetch me from my hotel again. they removed a layer of the bandage and gave me a removable band to wear. That was all for the appointment and I went back to my hotel on my own. Day 4, Feeling ALOT BETTER. Day 5 too. Went to the grocery store to get some water. And today is day 6. And again, I feel good. Basically from day 3 onwards I felt better everyday. So tomorrow I will be going to TLPS again to remove the bandages. That's all for now and if you guys have any question please feel free to ask me and I will be happy to answer them. I am rotting in my hotel!

Hi chewfishoils, thanks for the detailed review. It has been helpful. I did vline and fatgraft a few years ago and I am very happy with the results. I am keen to do zygoma reduction now (regret I didn't do together with vline), and planning to go Korea in Nov.

Hi yungyiyung, PZH is very good for the healing. You have to take it the night before the surgery (if i rem correctly) cos I had my surgery done in the morning. And I had little bruises after I did vline. I also took pumpkin drink.

If you are going to TLPS, try to get Melissa as your consultant as she took good care of me though i'm pretty fussy. I'm glad you liked your results. And I wish you the best for your zygoma reduction. I will do another post here for the post op and CT scan tomorrow / the day after when i arrive in my country. I hope that will help you with your research more

Hi just saw this so sorry for the late reply!
-I'm fine thank you! Still in korea now as I missed my flight. So now checked into a hotel near the airport.
-I would say 60% swelling but I cannot really judge or tell you exactly the percentage. The cheeks are still swollen
-I've met him about 3 times after the surgery, 1 time he came in to see me and left pretty quickly and 2 times he sat down with me to answer my questions.(I asked to meet him another time yesterday, so if I didn't ask to meet him again, it would be 2 times)
-Yes, did the CT scan the 2nd day before I was discharged from TLPS.
-Yes I managed to survive The worst part is the day when i was discharged. After that was ok. So i would say only weak for 2 days. And I brought oat meal and milk for food. Also went to get tofu soup(I eat it with rice, just add the rice into the soup and eat).
-Er.... You can nap anytime/anywhere you want no problem, getting the surgery won't result in difficulty taking a nap
-You cannot take a shower/bath for 7 days
-I went out 3rd day after surgery but didn't go really far because I still have bandage on my face and I don't like people giving the *look*
Hope this helps!

Hello! The doctor did not mention any sagging in the future but I will check with him during my appointment today and will get back to you

Hi there, doctor choi said I won't have any sagging because my skin is not very loose. Melissa told me if there were to be sagging they will tell you before hand to arrange for liposuction. Hope this helps!

Hey! Where did you do your v-line and fat graft?

Would you mind telling us a bit more? For example, if you notice any sagging from the v-line or any other side effects, for the fat graft, if there are any lumps, how many top ups you had etc..

Thanks

 

[oceanbelle]

Hi, I did mine at ID. I love fatgraft, and I topped up after 2mths cos the doc said it would be more lasting. It lasted for about 1.5yrs. There were no lumps. It's natural and makes you look younger.
Yes, there is some sagging along my jawline and I think this is unavoidable prob due to ageing and weight loss.
Hope this is helpful.

Hi, I can't exactly remember the cost of the surgery cos it was a few years ago. I only took PZH before the surgery as the doc will also prescribe medicine to u. My bruises were gone in less than 2weeks and swelling totally gone in 6mths.

Can I ask if you can sleep on your side after surgery? Probably not I guess... But can you ever sleep on your side after facial contouring? Or you have to sleep on your back for the rest of your life? Sounds like a silly question but I'm a side sleeper lolz

Hope u are recovering well ^^ How long does it take to recover/swellings to go down from day 1? I am thinking of getting my jaw and chin reduced, will I have to cover it up with makeup for a long time?

What is the worst part of recovery period? (I understand if u dont want to answer this sorry.. just panicky myself! I am in good health but scared it will feel long!)

Get well soon
