Did not go with Girin, but chose Face Dental

I did not go with Girin afterall, I chose Face Dental Clinic in Seoul. I had vline, genioplasty and double jaw surgery, I felt my results were somewhat subtle, and I was hoping for something more dramatic. I have a low nerve in my jaw and I was informed I could not remove any more bone. My face is shorter and my surgery was done safely. I felt that if I was going to do major surgery like double jaw, the best clinic would be a dental clinic and I am glad I chose that. I had swelling that lasted for months and I drank liquids for weeks until I was able to eat very soft foods. The recovery process with a surgery like that is quite long.

I am planning to have surgery this summer at Girin...

I am planning to have surgery this summer at Girin Clinic for V-line for entire mandible and chin, zygoma reduction, chin augmentation, fat graft to forehead and cheeks, acculift and ptosis revision for my eyes.

I chose Seoul, Korea because I feel that there is a higher volume of surgical procedures in the areas that will address the issues with my features that I have. I have spoken to other doctors in the United States and the prices are exorbitant and the results varied. I feel that my chances for the results I am looking for will be better in Korea.

I have a very strong jawline and chin and it gives me a masculine and harsh appearance. I have a stronger jawline than some men I have met and it really bothers me. It is like Jennifer Aniston :( and I simply do not find strong features like mine attractive. My nickname used to be butterface (nice body, ugly face) and I would cry about it. It sucked to be known as that person. I am no longer going to be bound by my own insecurities and I am going to do something about how I feel about my appearance. Some may disagree with this decision and say to me I should just accept my looks, but I chose not to.

I am hoping for a dramatic change to my appearance and I want to look beautiful with soft features and feminine.

I will put some before and after photos up, but I will blot my eyes out, because I do want some privacy. Since surgery will not be until a few months from now, I will return in 6 months with the results of my makeover.

Please wish me luck everyone! I am very excited and optimistic about this.

I have read great things about Girin Clinic's doctors. The before and after photos are convincing in that they are natural but dramatic at the same time. So far communication between myself and the office has been helpful and I am looking forward to my consultation day. EDIT: I chose The Face Dental Clinic and not Girin. Realself will not allow me to make the edit to what physician I ultimately chose.
