Face and Neck Lift in my 20s by Dr. Yun

A few years ago I had a v-line jaw reduction surgery at a different hospital in Korea, and about a year post op I had some extra skin and fat around my chin and neck, and just overall I wanted a better profile. I consulted with a lot of different hospitals in Seoul but most doctors suggested that I do only a thread lift to fix the problem, which I did some research on and I know it's very temporary and not a dramatic difference. Finally I met Dr. Yun and the kind staff at View! They suggested I get a neck lift to fix the side effects from my v-line, and it would be a big and much more permanent result which is what I was looking for. I also got a fat graft from another doctor at View which I'll write a separate review on later. At this point I'm 2 months post op.
I had my consultation, blood tests, chest xray, pictures and everything done on the same day. The hospital building is hugeee and clean, and has a ton of people working there. There were a lot of other foreigner patients, including caucasian patients like myself which was reassuring since a lot of clinics in Korea don't have experience with doing surgery on non-Asian faces. I met with Stacey who is the manager of View, and she discussed all the side effects and how my surgery would go.
The english consultants Leighton and REEEEE helped me through the whole process of getting ready on my surgery day. They even held my hand when I got my IV in since I'm terrified of needles which was super sweet! I ended up having my surgery on a saturday and it lasted for over 6 hours. When I woke up my face was already really swollen so I couldn't see how my result was for quite a while after.
After surgery I stayed in a recovery room overnight. I was super out of it from the anesthesia but I do think I got a little sleep. The next day Dr. Yun came in the morning to check up on me. He said I still had a lot of swelling so I had to keep my drains in for another day. I didn't have much pain, but the big swelling just felt really uncomfortable and I honestly didn't do much for the first week other than half pay attention to youtube videos.
I stayed in the VIP room at View, which is like their own hotel within the hospital building itself. It was actually really nice and so convenient to be so close since I had a lot of post op appointments. There was a lot of hot water and fast wifi so I was really happy.
Getting my drains hurt, actually kind of a lot. I didn't have any other pain during the whole process other than that. I also got a single staple put behind my ear where the incision was but that surprisingly didn't feel like much. I got my hair washed at the mini salon (which is actually INSIDE OF VIEW) which was really nice, since you're not allowed to get your face wet after the surgery for a while. After the 5 day mark (and after a deswelling treatment) I was feeling loads better and my swelling went down significantly. Even getting my stiches out after 2 weeks wasn't bad either! Overall I was very happy with the treatment of the staff, the professionalism of View, and my result from Dr. Yun. :)

During the first 2 weeks of recovery, I started to look very normal with not a lot of bruising. Just a little on my neck but that was the only thing, which was easy to cover with makeup. Even at the 1 month mark, I had quite a bit of numbness on the sides of my face near my ears incisions. At this point my stitches were removed so I've been continuously using scar gels since.
