lana_1028 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 today was my face to face consultation with doc Lee at The Face Dental for vline surgery.ive booked a consult with him a couple of months prior through online messaging after reading threads abt their clinic. Actually i was late for our appoinment as i was coming from another consult for my nose. Upon entering i was greeted by the friendly staff and was asked to be seated which gave me the time to look around while getting comfy.its a nice mid sized clinic simply decorated and unpretentious.id say i like the vibe of the clinic. had to do ct scan too before seeing the doc. Didnt have to wait too long and then i met doctor Lee.a very charming, unassuming and funny doc imo.we talked abt the procedure,my issues, what hes gonna do etc and has been honest when i asked abt sagging.he said im gonna have a traditional vline as that was best fitted in my case.and everything we talked abt we already had that during online consult so we moved on to the surgery which is gonna be this tuesday. Once i was done with doc Lee he called his assistant which i forgot to ask the name for the details of surgery etc and then i paid my deposit. Will have blood tests and ekg on monday. Overall, i felt comfortable and confident with Dr.lee even during the online consult that i didnt bother inquiring other clinics after. And meeting and consulting with him in person made me sure abt the clinic and him even more. Ill update this thread once im done with the procedure on tuesday.i can say that i am a bit nervous but my excitement is taking over and im hoping for the best.☺️☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriellaa555 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Hi may i ask what dr said about sagging ? I saw in other thread that you had consultation in namu also. Can you tell more about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lana_1028 Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 He said sagging cant be avoided esp if too much bone was cut as it supports the tissue so he rec acculift or buccal fat removal and i chose the latter. Yep went to uvom and namu for consult too but thats for rev rhino and i chose namu.doc was good but had to translate almost everything in english by Linda.he looked tired and sleepy toobut answered most of my questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriellaa555 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 May i ask why you decide tfd instead of namu for fc ? Are they not so good in fc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriellaa555 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I consider both tfd and namu but what i like in namu is zygoma reduction method without bone cut. Did you discussed this at namu ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lana_1028 Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 I actually didnt consult with namu for tfd altho they did try to “sell” me their fc but i was so set at tfd after meeting doc lee in person and thats before i went to namu for nose consult.i just felt so comfortable with doc lee.

lana_1028 Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 So yeah, i had my vline surgery done on tuesday at 10am. I arrived at 9:30 and the consultant prepped me right away then had me signed all the necessary papers for the op.after that i waited for awhile and doc lee came in.we reviewed all the details we talked abt during consult and then its time.i was kinda nervous but doc assurred e thats theres nothing to worry abt. I know hes telling me the truth so i relaxed. I met doc kim the anesthesiologist in the op room and he asked me some questions while the nurses are bz trying to link those machines to me haha.doc kim told me to inhale/exhale slowly and after a couple of seconds i was already out. Woke up by the nurses voices and feeling so dizzy they took me to my room at the fifth floor.i felt a bit of pain on my jaw but it was bearable but i couldnt talk.doc kim came by later again to check on me and asked if i was sleepy and dizzy which i nodded.he said that its alright and that its gonna pass.i kept dozing off but the nurse kept me awake.doc lee came and told me everything was good and what i was experiencing was normal.after reminding me of the things i need to do he said goodnight. That night was hard as i dont know how to sleep with my face super swollen already.not sure how i did it but i survived the night.i just remember counting the time until it was morning.nurse came to clean my nose and led me to second floor to get another xray.and doc lee came again to check on me and when he was sure i was good he told that i can now go home. Today, i am 3 days post op and theres really nothing much to tell as i am still super swollen i barely recognize myself anymore haha.couldnt wait for the swelling to subside and see my new face shape☺️But eventho im swollen i could see the changes already and im liking it! I just couldnt post pix yet as im waiting for the swelling to go down first. But so far im so happy while still waiting for the final result as doc lee assurred me that everything went well.and i trust him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
