Great Results from Deep Place Face and Neck Lift, Lower Blepharoplasty and Fat Grafting

I recently underwent a deep plane face and neck lift combined with lower blepharoplasty, endodyne forehead lift, and fat grafting at Girin Plastic Surgery in South Korea, and I would like to share my experience.

I found Girin Plastic Surgery via a Reddit thread about Korean cosmetic surgery clinics. I compared prices, responses/consults and positive reviews from previous patients. Girin had positive reviews, although more for eye-related surgeries than facelifts, but they were also not overhyped by social media and influencers only, which always gives me pause. Their prices were also reasonable, although I was willing to pay more if necessary.

I opted for this specific combination of procedures to achieve more permanent solutions to address sagging skin and volume loss. I was looking for more permanent results, as less invasive techniques were no longer working for me and felt like a waste of money. The deep plane facelift is renowned for its natural results, which is what I was aiming for. I am still a bit worried about my eyes b/c they still don’t look like me, but all information about my surgery says that it will take at least 3 months to start to see the symmetry correct and see a more natural result.

The surgery went smoothly. The surgical team was professional, and I felt well-cared for throughout the process. The bedside manner in South Korea is a bit different from American doctors, but the team is experienced and professional. I experienced some nausea and pain on the first night, but the nurses were attentive and took care of me all night long, even when I needed more pain medication at 3:00 AM.

The healing process has been more intense than I expected. On the first night at the hotel after surgery, I experienced severe pain due to a lack of clarity regarding the pain medication. It wasn't explained that it was in a separate package thoroughly before I left the clinic, which caused severe pain on the second night. The situation occurred because I was leaving the clinic at a very early hour on Sunday, which was outside the interpreter's working hours.
The English-speaking interpreter was incredibly helpful in translating information and facilitating communication with the medical team on the days following where I didn’t experience any excessive pain any longer. The healing process can be scary, but the team has been responsive to any questions I have, providing reassurance and support throughout.

I did notice some asymmetry around my eyes, which I was told is normal at this stage of healing. Although it's a bit concerning, the staff emphasized that these issues usually resolve as the swelling decreases.

The response from the team has been exceptional. They were attentive and took my concerns seriously. I felt reassured after bringing up my worries about the asymmetry, and I appreciated their thorough answers and encouragement.
Overall, I'm pleased with my decision to choose Girin Plastic Surgery. The results are promising, and I am optimistic about the final outcome as I continue to heal.
