It's been roughly 4 years.
Since I was young, I had no complaints about my facial features, but I had a complex about my wide face shape, and as I grew older, the asymmetry became more severe, so I got contoured.
Compared to before the surgery, my sense of cheek is slightly worse, but
things like opening my mouth wide and smiling are no different from before the surgery. Recovery after surgery went smoothly.
I have some doubts about sagging cheeks. Normally it's not noticeable at all, but when I'm under subway lights, the shadows around my cheeks and mouth are a bit strong. However, this also varies greatly depending on the condition, so it is unclear whether it is aging or a side effect.
I'm not really that worried about my sagging face, so I'm not too worried about future changes.
However, I think I recklessly had the surgery because I couldn't overcome the memories of being judged because of my appearance when I was young, and I regret that carelessness.
I just wanted to be average, but I didn't want to look particularly pretty, so I barely dressed up even after the surgery. I think I desperately wanted to feel reassured that my appearance would be less flawless.
As I get older and have a career, I think it would have been more in line with my values to use the money to better myself, go on trips to nice places, and help my parents prepare for their retirement.
