Fat Grafting and Acculift at April31

WORTH IT
Today I would like to share my experience with fat grafting and acculift at April 31 clinic in Seoul.
I was really bothered with my hollow cheeks and excess weight on my jaw, so I decided to resculpt my facial shape with fat. I went to a couple of different clinics in Seoul for consultation, but i liked the consultation at april 31 the most. When i came in, there was no waiting time and i could immediately see dr. Kim who specializes in fat grafting.
What i liked about the consultation is that dr. Kim explained what he thought was the most suitable for me in regards to my age and previous surgeries. He didn't try to pressure me into getting any other procedures that i didn't ask for, and overall the consultation seemed quite smooth. I decided on april 31 that day, and planned my surgery for the next day.
So the next day I came into the clinic, signed some papers, changed into surgery clothing, took before photos and went into the surgery room. Fat grafting and acculift is done under sedation anesthesia, which is my favorite kind of anesthesia. When it starts kicking it, you feel very calm, and then you're out.
When i woke up i barely felt any pain, mostly just some discomfort. I stayed in the recovery room for about an hour, and then Christy, the English speaking consultant, brought me my medication and helped me to get a taxi back home.
Honestly, acculift and fat grafting are quite minor procedures so i felt great that day, so i just did some things around the house, ordered some food and relaxed.
The next day i had to come in for a checkup, everything was fine, and from there on it's just a waiting game until the swelling goes down.
I had my third and last appointment a week after my operation date. Dr. Kim came in to check on the healing process, i had the stitches removed and i did laser treatment to help with the deswelling.
At this point it's 1,5 weeks after my surgery, and i can't say anything yet about the result because I’m still very swollen. I am hopeful that the swelling will go down soon and I will be satisfied with the result. But in regards to the whole experience at the clinic I will say that I am satisfied. Whenever i had questions i got quick responses from Christy and even though i don't speak Korean I felt quite comfortable with undergoing the procedures, so overall a great and easy experience!

April 31 of last year? Confused because you said you’re only 1.5 weeks out.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I'd love to see your before and after photos, do you have any to share?
