Hello my name is Jess, and i am 27 years old. One thing that really bothered me was the fat on my cheeks, i got chubby cheeks and double chin, it did not look good while taking pictures and i need to use filters to make my face look slimmer. I heard a lot of time about plastic surgery and the best place to get it done is in Korea. But Korea has got a lot of clinics and huge hospitals. It took me almost 1 year to research what surgery is good for removing fat and then decide where should i do it.
I was a bit confused in between two places GNG hospital and Fresh. I had consultation on both of the places. Finally i decided to go with Fresh as Dr, Hong is a perfectionist for doing surgery like Acculift. I also saw some reviews on realself and other websites with clients happy with the results and all there before after pictures. I researched quite a lot about acculift. As its small surgery and almost all the clients with satisfied result i thought to go for it.
So finally on Jan 2018 i visit Korea my first time. I had my surgery at Fresh. Moon (consultant) helped me a lot right from the start. She answered all my questions. And she is very caring and sweet. I am happy that i choosed Fresh to do my surgery.

Hi Rana400, thank you for sharing your pictures! You look amazing and I'm really surprised there are no bruises at all! How are you now? Could you tell me down time?
February 2, 2018
Hi Caroline, its been 2 weeks now all my bruised have gone and the swollen as well. Right now my tissue where i did the acculift is harden. As it is on the healing process. The doc said it normal and for the best result i need to wait atleast 6 months.

You look AWESOME!! I was considering cheek reduction and chin reduction as that is what a lot of clinics tell me I need but every time I feel my face I feel like I have a lot of fat on my face and just getting rig of it and putting in right places could help a lot. I'm happy I came across your post. The Dr did a wonderful job!

Second Review for my experience of acculift in Korea.

Jess400
Hello everyone, on this review i want to share my experience after acculift. My procedure was really quick like 30mins. I woke up in my private room. and i was wearing a compression mask covering all my face. i took like 1hour rest and was okay to leave. They gave me some medicines and a protein bar. I took a taxi back to my hotel. That night i only had soup and had my medicines. my face wasnt so painfull at that time. Nxt day i went back to fresh, i had deswelling injection and light treatment which they told its for healing faster. I had this treatment everyday for 5days after acculift. I wasnt swollen on the first day but after i got sweling a bit painfull. 7th day i had my stiches removed. Now it been already 2 weeks, all my swollen and bruised is gone. Right now my tissue feels tight and hard. as what the doctor told me, and thats absolutely normal. i massage my face every night to get rid of the hard lump faster. it will take me 6month to finally see the result. i am doing great, keeping pticence and waiting for results.

Hi Jess400,
You are so lucky to get this done. I have the same problem I am 5ft 2in 110 lbs. Even when I was 105 lbs I still had very very chubby cheeks. Can you please share your after pics ? Also was the acculift done on your mid cheeks, apple of the cheeks too? Did you have skin tightening too?
April 10, 2018
Woooow, your 2week post acculift looks beautiful. I would like to get the same thing done. Can you please message me in my inbox? I would like to know how you planned the trip to your PS in korea.
