I had soft cheekbone reduction surgery. It seemed like a lot of people were curious about it, so it was a bit difficult for me because I didn't have any information before doing it. So, I am writing this in the hope that it will be of some help. Price: It has now been 3 weeks since the surgery. Well... first of all, an important cost. It's hard to tell you exactly how much it costs because I know you can't post it on the internet . Is there an original cheekbone reduction surgery done inside the mouth? I think you can think of it as that kind of price. About twice the price of quick cheekbone reduction surgery without discount? I think you can look at it like this. There is a counseling director. Please kindly explain. You pay a deposit, get a CT scan, and then on the surgery date, you consult with the doctor before surgery and hear various precautions, etc. Hospital environment: The nurses, counseling director, desk staff, and even the doctors are all friendly. The surgery is performed under sedation. I was a little nervous at first, but I don't really worry about things like procedures, acupuncture, or surgery, so it was okay. Surgical method: I heard that this surgical method involves cutting the bones in the front and back of the cheekbones and then pushing them in. It is said that peeling is minimized by making a 3mm incision on the front cheekbone (slightly inside 45 degrees) and a 3mm incision on the sideburns. So, I heard that there was no or little cheek sagging, and that it was the safest surgical method and that it did not take a long time (what I heard). I heard that incision scars may disappear to the point where they are not noticeable after a month or two (depends on the individual), but if not taken care of well, they can last for more than a year. Benefit? : However, what is the difference between the director's consultation and the doctor's consultation in terms of effectiveness? The director said that the results are still satisfactory for 45-degree angles and side cheekbones. I didn't say anything exaggerated or anything like that. The doctor said it was working, but others thought she had lost some weight? My impression has become much softer. You said something like this. I'm not saying it's not effective, but the cheekbone surgery made that person's face look so much better. It's so awesome? He said that if you have this much expectation, you may be disappointed. (The counseling director also said that in the case of cheekbone reduction, it is difficult to expect dramatic changes like the nose and eyes.) After surgery: After surgery, you recover in the recovery room with a bandage wrapped around your face. I even remember waking up in the operating room. Haha anyway, I wrapped the bandage like that for about 2 rounds and then took it off. During this period, if you lower your head a little, your nose will bleed. For your reference, they tell you not to bend down as much as possible, but they say that if you do, your pupils will get bruised and there will be severe bruising around the eyes . So, I will eat a liquid diet for a week (I drink pumpkin porridge, soft tofu, drinks, milk, protein shakes, etc.). I was told that it would be a good idea to remove the stitches a week later and start eating regular food 3 weeks after the surgery date. What was really difficult for a week was that I sleep with a low pillow, but my neck hurt from sleeping with the pillow high. I like to eat, but I had to drink all kinds of things, I could n't chew, I got bruises, and my face was swollen. It was very difficult. It's so uncomfortable. They say I have to be careful about what I eat for two months, so I have to be careful about what I eat in the future, so I think this is probably the most difficult thing about cheekbone surgery. However , this is not just the case with soft cheekbone reduction, it is the same for all cheekbone reductions (the doctor emphasized again and again that post-surgery care is very important) and there is no scar in the mouth, so I think soft cheekbone reduction would be better in that respect. I did. Because of the swelling, you may need to apply a cold compress for a few days. After that, you need to apply a warm compress for bruises or something like that. The hospital's instructions said to take turns starting after a few days, so we took turns and made sure to walk for 30 to 1 hour a day. Since it was winter, I think the cold compress had an effect. Haha, but the swelling lasted for a long time... Now that it's been 3 weeks, a lot of the major swelling has gone down. I'm still eating food without chewing it. Some minor swelling still remains. In addition, there is a phenomenon where the swelling goes down and looks like sagging skin, but when I asked people who had other cheekbone surgeries about this, they said it was swelling. They say that swelling comes from the top down... I believe that too. When I look in the mirror now, I can't tell because of the swelling, but the 45 degree angle has become a bit softer. At the hospital, they said a lot of side cheekbones were added. (When I went to remove the stitches) But when I looked at it subjectively, it seemed like it was getting softer... and shrinking... but it was hard to really feel it . (Because the swelling still remains and I see my face every day??) First of all, I heard before the surgery that it would be difficult to see a completely dramatic effect because the size was a bit 45 degrees and the side cheekbones were not big or big, and I had high expectations after seeing advertisements and such. I think that’s also why. First of all, the doctor said that a lot was put in, and the director also said that it would look better as time goes by because the swelling is gradually going down, but if you look at the 45-degree cheekbones as a standard, for example. >I feel like this kind of clown has become like this. When I look in the mirror. ) This means that a 45-degree cheekbone appears. I am also looking forward to seeing some posts from people who have had soft cheekbone reduction surgery, saying that it gets better as time goes by. Once you have surgery, it is clear that it is effective. However, in many cheekbone reduction advertisements, the cheekbones are really big! I would like to say that I don't think it has the same effect as those of celebrities who have had slimmer faces. To achieve such an effect, I think it would probably be necessary to use the original cheekbone reduction method, which involves making an incision inside the mouth. A surgery that does not seem risky, a slightly faster recovery period since it is not an incision inside the mouth, the burden of general anesthesia, and concerns about sagging cheeks. I decided on this surgery after looking at these aspects, and looking at the results of the surgery itself, I am somewhat satisfied. (If you look similar to me, I recommend this surgery) However, considering the price and the hassle of post-surgery management (even if you make an incision in the mouth, the inconvenience of management will be similar), if you want to see a more dramatic effect, try the original cheekbone reduction surgery. We recommend. I don't have the talent to write, so I wrote this in a hesitation, but I hope it will be helpful to those who are thinking about cheekbone reduction (soft cheekbone reduction).
