Warning against chin/jaw liposuction and Acculift

I know The translators were annoyed when I voiced my concerns (since I had a lot). I didn't have a good feeling about them and should've trusted my instinct. I'm really glad that you like the result of your surgeries! You did the fat transfer in Brazil? Thank you so much! I will try to remain positive, and I hope that a good clinic will be able to fix my issues.

I did Fat Transfer Butt lifting in Korea (a.k.a Brazilian Butt Lift) and I really love it!
I've never heard about the name of clinic I did surgery, but quite good tho

Hey forumers, long time lurker here and first time posting after a disheartening experience with chin/jawline lipo and Acculift. I'm 22 and had this procedure done a couple of months ago, and I highly regret it I came into the consultation only wanting to get rid of my double chin, but the hospital insisted I had a lot of face fat and chubby cheeks and talked me into getting my jawline/lower cheek/chin area lipoed as well. I did have chubby cheeks but I didn't mind them at all, and people thought I was 16 all the time because of my baby face. After lipo, I look older and tired; my face looks more flat and dull, and loss of volume actually made my face look bigger... People tell me I look older (I know I shouldn't take those comments to heart but before this, all I got were compliments on how young and pretty I was). The surgery changed my entire face shape and I literally look like a different person and not an improved version. I guess I'm writing this because I want to warn you guys against taking fat away from your face. I guess sometimes we all get greedy and want that "flawless" look but honestly, do your research and know exactly what improvements you want, and don't let hospitals tell you you have more areas that need to be fixed if their aesthetics aren't in line with your own. Before the surgery, I took a look at the B/A pictures of this lipo procedure, and I can honestly say a lot of the after results looked so much worse and older than before. Yet I still went ahead with it because I trusted the results with be good. I asked the consultants whether lipo would make me look older, but they reassured me again and again that it wouldn't. The surgeon saw me for no more than 2 minutes through the whole thing (consultation, surgery, post-surgery). I have no one to blame but myself but being stupid and not insisting on exactly what I wanted, and for not listening to my gut feeling. I can't believe I took away my natural fat when people pay for fat grafting for the baby face effect I used to have. I don't know what to do now. I lost all my confidence. I look in the mirror and I don't see myself. I'll definitely have to get fat grafting done now Sigh... I know this entire thread probably sounds vain, but I'm sure some of you would understand, as we only have one face and we have to live with it. I'd be thankful for any help if anyone has had experience with fat grafting to the lower cheeks/buccal fat area. Thanks for reading!

I am so sorry this happened to you but thank you for not only posting your results but about your mindset when you made the decisions. I can identify with a lot of what you're saying because I currently have very chubby cheeks and it bothers me to no end. This a problem I have had all my life which was worsened by getting injectable fillers (dissolvable but I haven't yet because it is the only thing making my face look younger because I have the paradox of fat cheeks and volume loss around it) and I have since been obsessing over acculift or vaser lipo to have some but not all of that volume taken out. Are you comfortable sharing pics or the clinic name? Please DM me at least the clinic name.

Btw, are you going to consider fat grafting to repair the situation? I heard stem cell grafting lasts well.....

One more thing! They suggested buccal fat removal as well and almost insisted on it, but thankfully I never even considered that procedure before and flatly refused. I don't think it's a good idea for anyone. Loss of volume around the buccal area will make your face more flat and dull and older looking. I haven't lost hope yet though... I stuffed cotton balls inside my mouth where I had chubby cheeks and BAMN, I instantly looked young and cute again, and my face shape actually looked smaller. Puffing out my cheeks has a similar effect too. So I guess having a "small face" isn't all about the V-line. You have to take face shape angles and volume into consideration too. At least I figured out what procedure I'll be needing now.

Also, I don't think chin lipo in itself is a bad idea. I just wouldn't recommend lipo anywhere above the jawline. I don't have a double chin anymore, but I would undo this procedure if I could.

I am thinking of face lipo but am early 30s. What do you think? Also please pm me the name of your clinic. Did they offer to fix their horrible job?

@sunnysnow Hey you can try to add some dis-solvable fillers first to see if you like the effect of adding fat back in.
Fillers don't last long (especially the Hyaluronic acid ones) and if you kinda still like that chubby cute look, you can possibly consider another fat grafting once you have saved enough? People age and expectations change..I'm sure you will find a way to improve... *hugs*

You mind if I ask your clinic?

 

[nikkiay]

Hello! Would you mind sending me the name of the clinic as well? I totally how it feels when this kind of result came out but I always think there is a solution to deal with problems.

Hi, I did BBL at Pretty Body Clinic in Seoul

 

[singitsing]

Can I ask what clinic this was?

 

[archonei]

@sunnysnow
I'm sorry this happened to you. It sounds like the consultant/translator is ignorant about what you wanted in the first place. What about the dr though? Could you go back to the dr and speak to him directly about this problem? I know that he didn't take his time before but if you go see him again he might be able to rectify the mistake. But if you don't plan on going back there, I wish you best of luck on finding good dr and clinic that could fix it. Please find a dr who will listen to you thoroughly and not just a few minutes..

Hey, my situation is exactly the same as yours. I also used to have chubby face and went to Fresh clinic to remove my double chin only. However, the consultant insisted for me to get acculift for whole face. And just like you i regretted it as i look age as well. Not only it changes my face shape, but i still have my double chin as well and my face look sunken. I tried to pout my cheeck and i like it when it looks chubbier and thats why i am also planning to get fat grafting and also acculift again to have more face definition.

When are u planning to go korea again? Pm me so we can exchange info

 

[glowie]

which clinic??

 

[phoebebuffey]

So you got jawline, chin, and lower cheek fat removed - does that mean "jowls" or more like puffy cheeks?

I'm getting facial lipo so I'm a little worried by your post haha. But there are a lot of B&A's of facial lipo that I feel make the person look better but not older... do you think you got too much fat removed?
