My recovery wasn’t easy, it wasn’t painful but it brought lot of discomfort!
Over the next few months things improved greatly! Although, I was told that my recovery was on track it took me super long to get rid of swelling. I was told that it wasn’t usual yet quite fine after surgeries I got. Also, my chin was quite numb for about 3 months and just recently I began feel it. As 4 months went on I began to really like my face. Now I don’t feel uncomfortable to go out and I became more confident. I think that changes to my face were quite small but they gave a huge difference in my self-esteem.
Overall, I would highly recommend Dr Park Shinki for having both chin surgery and cheekbone reduction. For me, now I realize it was well worth it. I’ve heard horror stories from people getting same procedures, so make sure to find right hands!

Genioplasty with Dr Park Shinki Noticeably Improved my Face
Hi, probably like lot of you I have always struggled with what I considered to be asymmetrical and wide chin. I was 22 years old when finally decided to visit a plastic surgeon about my issue. My parents asked their friends in medicine for recommendations and it led me to South Korea. I found out about Dr Park a board-certified plastic surgeon in Seoul.
At my consultation Dr Park seemed to be very down to earth, likably person. After listening to all my concerns he examined my cts and x-rays I took right before our consultation and then asked if I had ever considered cheekbone reduction. He pointed out to me that one of reasons why my chin looks so weak is because my cheekbone was a bit wider in terms of perfect facial proportions. He said that everything could be done through small incisions from the inside of my mouth. Although I wasn’t too scared of getting several procedures done altogether I needed some time to think about it. After mulling things over for a few days I called his office and scheduled my surgery. The total for both genioplasty and cheekbone reduction was $10,000 all in, including surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, postop care, follow ups, hospitalization, etc. etc.
As my surgery day approached I had to have blood work done to make sure I was healthy and my body was ready for the upcoming surgery. Although, I’m young, I also had to go through a complete body checkup.
On the day of my surgery I arrived an hour earlier to fill out some papers and was taken to my recovery room where I changed my clothes and washed my face. After that I met Dr Park again and headed to the operation room. After I was given an IV I remember pretty much nothing. Once I was awake I remember not being in any pain at all but extremely thirsty. A nurse said that I could drink only 4 hours later. I also found it quite difficult to talk or open my mouth so the first night was very difficult.
Dr Shinki Park came back next morning saying that everything went great and that I needed to be careful with my chin and cheeks for the next couple of weeks. It was then time to go back to the hotel I stayed at.
My recovery wasn’t easy at all. I’m still very swollen and quite embarrassed to go out. I stayed in Seoul 2 more weeks, had 2 followups with Dr and few laser anti-swelling treatments. Most of the time I’m trying to stay at home now as still don’t feel comfortable enough. I was told that would get better after few months still waiting for that.
