* Beyond the level of crying skin... (attached photo)
At least 6 months due to the folding phenomenon. (Additional explanation at the end)
To alleviate this, the doctor put in a filler as a make-up, but... the orthodox facial lift specialist is all over the place.
So I tried to melt the filler... but the doctor refused as an excuse for allergic shock. I actually refused treatment because I was in a bad mood
** If I could turn the time back to 3 weeks ago, I would like to return it to before the surgery even if I had to pay 10 million won.
1. Counseling process (August 17) Perhaps
because it was a new hospital, the inside (recovery room/operating room) rather than the outside (information desk/waiting room) looked a bit hectic. Rather than a neatly organized feeling... A feeling of having an assortment in a hurry?
* From the first day of counseling, I heard him swear at a certain patient. Calling the police, etc.. I thought this part was a little strange, but I just got beaten up by the gullible part, saying that he did it well without any problems.
(1) He showed great confidence in the technique of square jaw behind the ear, and heard that not only osteotomy with a long curve, but also cortical osteotomy with square jaw behind the ear, was possible.
(2) Of course, I thought positively in that there was no incision in the mouth and sedation was performed.
2. On the day of surgery (11/1)
Due to personal circumstances (liposuction), she underwent surgery approximately 70 days after the consultation date.
The atmosphere inside was still untidy.
It was a pity that the place to recover is done in a recovery room that can accommodate 2-3 people. It wasn't a closed space, it was just covered with a simple curtain.
When male/female were present, they were advised to change clothes in the bathroom.
The operating room was also a mess. It is true that I was a little worried when I saw the messy environment in the operating room.
---
The nurse was kind, but... when the anesthesia broke in the operating room, it was quite noisy. It was an atmosphere where 3-4 people chatted like this and that.
--
I got the feeling that I wasn't organized yet.
3. Surgery progress
(1) 11/1 (same day)
Maybe it was because the SMAS lift/lifting was performed at the same time as the square jaw behind the ear and the lower face.
I knew that the square jaw behind the ear was 7 days, but it was 14 days.
This is a part that I can understand to some extent because I did the smas lifting at the same time.
However, this part... I think it is a part that needs to be compared to the mouth incision and various parts to inform the patient in advance. Especially for patients who care about quick recovery, I would like you to consider that removal of stitches is a big factor that affects daily life.
I heard the surgery went well. Maybe it's because it's been a while since the hospital opened... There was no cluttered atmosphere and system.
Of course, I can't check my face properly due to the pressure dressing yet, so I'm going to write a review step by step.
(2) 11/2 (Day 1)
Visited for dressing removal and disinfection.
I can definitely feel that my contours have improved. I had a complex about my side profile, but it has definitely improved. Even taking into account the swelling.
I didn't expect much nasolabial folds because it was a lower face lift.
However, since it was still the 1st day, the area behind the ear and chin was very swollen, so I could see the skin around the left ear was weeping.
It felt like it was pulled tight enough to noticeably improve nasolabial folds. Since these symptoms were not seen right after the surgery... He said that the swelling would be removed and it would get better over a month.
* What I am concerned about is improving nasolabial folds through an incision behind the ear. I think maybe.
In order to temporarily cover this part, a separate action was taken.
--
In fact, wouldn't a lower face lift require a skin incision? I used to think If you pull the area with your hand, it is because the flesh/skin has a lot of folds.
This is not a problem of Smas exfoliation... Actually, it is also a part that I inquired at the hospital in advance because I thought I would have to cut off the remaining skin.
--
There is pain in the suture part of the ear.
(3) 11/3 (2nd day)
I can feel the swelling rising. I heard that it usually peaks on the 3rd day, and then the big swelling subsides quickly... I guess I'll have to take that into account by tomorrow.
Because of the incision behind the ear, there is no swelling in the middle of the face, and only the lower face is swollen.
(4) 11/4 (3rd day)
Swelling increased a lot. The lower duct is swollen longer than the cheekbones. It looks like something to see.
The part where the flesh was folded around the ear due to smas lifting is still noticeable.
The pain subsided slightly in the suture part of the ear.
You can feel the swelling subside exactly after 72 hours. I thought it was a bit harsh, but I think that was the peak.
---
Swelling is a common case in all square jaw surgery, so I don't really care about it, but I think it is necessary to revise the expression that daily life is possible after 2 to 3 days after the square jaw surgery.
In fact, at the level of cutting only the angle below the ear with the square jaw behind the ear and suturing it right away, the surgery will take less than 30 minutes, so it seems that recovery is possible after 3 days.
However, considering that mini-lifting was performed in parallel with the long curved square jaw and SMAS exfoliation, it seems that the operation time and recovery period will inevitably be that much longer.
However.. Is the incision behind the ear such that a light walk is possible from the next day? There is no big problem with eating.
---
(5) 11/5 (Day 4)
I went to make a progress report.
The swelling is at its peak, beyond the double chin, something extra thick under the chin protrudes like a toad's neck. hard.
He said that the fold in the skin on the ear was because the skin was pulled tight without making an incision. He said that he pulled that much for symmetry.
As a temporary measure, the filler was injected to slightly reduce the awkwardness, but I didn't feel much.
He said that you need to think for up to 2 months for this symptom to be alleviated.
Since this part interferes with daily life, I will have to cover it up from now on... I'm worried...
First of all, by the time the stitches are removed, the big swelling will have gone down... Realistically, whether or not a method of incising the skin of an orthodox facial lift is necessary. I'm thinking of consulting.
Since the CEO is trying to solve the problem with a sense of responsibility, I plan to wait and trust it a bit more.
(6) 11/6
The pain is much gone.
A regular meal is also possible.
However, I had a toad-like double chin, which I didn't have before, but I dismissed it as swelling and passed on... but when I touched it, I felt something hard.
In the case of bone surgery, I saw a video that sometimes the latissimus dorsi tendon muscle falls down. That's why they say it looks like a toad or double chin... I'm worried that this might be the case.
I hope it's a temporary symptom caused by swelling...
(7) 11/7
I
can feel something like a tough muscle under my chin, which makes it look like a toad's neck. I wish it was just swelling.
The director said that it was still the 7th day, and that he would give me an injection for swelling, so he plans to visit.
(8) 11/10
I don't think recovery or return to daily life is particularly quick because it's a square chin behind the ear. It still looks more than 1.5 times bigger than the existing face with a flat square jaw on the toad neck.
Recovery is slower than those who underwent square jaw surgery through intraoral incision. The recovery was quick for other surgeries, but for the square jaw surgery... it was really painful to look in the mirror.
(9) 11/12
On the 11th day, the swelling subsides, but it is finally noticeable. The folds of the skin are still the same... but it's fortunate that you can feel the original face shape returning.
At first, I knew that the swelling would go down very quickly because it was a square jaw behind the ear. I think I was more disturbed.
If the operation time for the square jaw behind the ear is not 30 minutes, but about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and if the smas peeling is carried out separately and the lifting is performed.
?want.
(10) 11/15 The
stitches were removed. The swelling has also improved a lot.
If there is a cosmetic problem after watching for about a month on the darker part, the director decided to take a separate action.
* 11/19 (a red flag that he will sue for defamation)
The symptoms of skin folds are resolved unconditionally, so he told me to stay in this state for about 6 months.
Because of this part, he always covered it, or people looked at it, he told me to just think of it as a ritual swelling.
You said that if it can't be resolved within 6 months, you will take additional measures.
I saw this condition at another hospital and first saw that the swelling subsided for about a month, and I was told that if the skin fold was still expected to remain, I would have to incise the area and cut the skin.
It is a very reliable hospital, and the cost of the operation is considerable. I am also concerned about the new scars left on the front.
---
You said that if you write a bad story in a review, you will sue for defamation.
A filler was placed on the skin fold, and doctors who focused on other facial lifts were very embarrassed about this temporary treatment and shook their heads, requesting that the filler be removed.
Then, at first, he refused treatment... He mentioned the shock caused by an allergic reaction when removing the filler, and today he said it was impossible.
In the past, CT scans taken here before surgery were erased.
I barely made an appointment to remove the filler and left the hospital... but the hospital's response is very strange.
