Beyond satisfied
WORTH IT
Hey everyone! So, it's been almost 8 months and I can't describe how happy I'm! I have no regrets and beyond satisfied with how everything came out. Some people asked me about any nerve damages or skin laxity. Hopefully, I have none! What can I say? It definitely worth it and I feel really lucky that proceeded this surgery with such a brilliant doctor! Very thankful to Dr.Oh for his amazing work!

Zygomatic Bone Reduction Surgery with Regen’s Dr.Oh
Went to TL but the doctor couldn’t promise me the result I was looking for, so I found Regen. I didn’t actually plan to proceed it there, but once I met Dr.Oh I realized I won’t meet anyone more experienced or skilled. Before meeting him I thought v-line is actually a surgery that I want but Dr.Oh explained me that the issue wasn’t actually in my jaws or chin, it was all about my cheekbone.
I was quoted around $8k and was also offered a 20% discount for making a deposit, so my final price went down up to $6.5k. I wasn’t in hurry, as my final exams were about to start, so the surgery was booked few weeks after my actual consultation. A day before the surgery day I came for a medical checkup, it didn’t take me long, just about 30-40 mins. My surgery started at 4pm and I had to start fasting 10hrs before, so my last meal was at around 6 in the morning. [my advice – eat some meat with carbs before your surgery as after you’d feel super weak]So, I arrived Regen at around 3pm. [I lived in Korea and actually didn’t have any troubles in speaking Korean, so I also had an assistant who spoke Korean. The reason why I choose Korean speaking consultant was because Dr.Oh himself speaks English quite fluently, so I decided I’d be better to have everything in English] I met the consultant, we signed some documents and headed to 14th floor, where she showed me my recovery room where I was supposed to rest after the surgery. Once I changed my clothes and washed my face the assistant received a call from the operation room and we headed there. She stayed with me up to the moment when I knocked out. [although, the surgery itself last only about 2hrs, I was under anesthesia for around 5 hrs and when I woke up it was already night]I didn’t feel any pain only lot of discomfort, so I could go home few hrs after the surgery [normally, there’s no need for hospitalization and I was told that if I want I can stay, but I decided to go home] First week flew very hard, I was very swollen, opening my mouth was difficult and sometimes even painful. On the 7th day I came for my first after the surgery follow up. After making few cts and xrays I met Dr.Oh. he said that my recovery was on track and nothing to worry about. After 14th day once stitches were removed, swelling gradually began to fade away. I wasn’t allowed to eat hard food, but I did eat some and was a little nervous as I didn’t feel all 100, so I asked Dr.Oh to check and he said that my left side should be fixed again, he said it wasn’t a big deal tho…That time a was a little scared but anyway it was fixed and everything healed quite quickly. So, my tip here is that eating hard food few weeks after your surgery may not be a good idea!This coming Saturday is gonna be exactly 3 months post op. I feel great [will upload some of my pics for you to take a look] there are none strange or unnormal feelings, no functional problems. My cheek area was numb for about 2 weeks but everything is totally gone. I’m glad that chose Dr.Oh, he’s the best!

Your results look amazing thanks for sharing. I am interested in getting zygoma reduction @Regen in March 2020.
TNX!!! Are you excited? :) Don't worry, Dr. Oh is the best so far :)
Thank you @inthemind for a detailed review and tip on not eating hard solid food for 3 weeks. No bulgogi for me then for 3 weeks. Your result is outstanding. I am getting zygoma reduction witj Dr Oh in January. Really reassuring to also read local.Koreans chose Regen too.
Thank you MissOrange and good luck! He is the best :)
I just checked the Korean association of plastic surgeons and it looks like Dr. oh and dr. Lee are both suspended ! Anyone can go to the website and check his credentials! http://prskorea.co.kr/English/mobile/index.asp
I can’t believe he is still operating his hospital and he is suspended
How dangerous
