Very Swollen After V-line in Seoul

WORTH IT
Does it worth it? It’s been a week since I got v-line at banobagi hospital. Dr. Park said that being swollen the first 2 weeks is okay but I’m still worrying. I can’t even open my mouth to yawn. Really difficult to strain my mouth muscles to talk or chew and even swallow. My throat is still very swollen and the feeling is like I have a flu and it’s aching. Has anyone experienced the same postop as I’m having now? I just wonder if its ok? I’m following all the instructions I was told at banobagi and continuously visit my consultant and Dr.Park for after surgery treatment and management control. I’m leaving Seoul in few days and hope I’ll feel better… I don’t regret about proceeded surgery but I’m a bit concerned if everything is going ok (?) I’ll attach some of my pics here, so you can see what I’m talking about.

I think it is normal. Most ppl did not expect so hard recovery as there is almost no real reviews in internet. I mean they are real but skipping the reality of first 2 weeks recovery.

so good so far?

Can’t say that I’m all 100% satisfied as I’m still swollen but I think the result now looks much better. Hopefully, I don’t experience the same discomfort I described in my previous review. I still can’t eat whatever I want but try to exercise my mouth muscles every day as I was told to do at banobagi. Although I’m still experiencing some numbness in my lower face, from time to time I feel slight tingling which is a good sign, as far as I know. All in all, I feel way better and hope the improvement will continue. Thanks everyone who's interested in my recovery :)

great result?

3 months post op. My results are beautiful. I could finally get rid of swelling and numbness is completely gone. My mouth opens just as it did before with no complications, difficulties or discomfort. It is still a bit hard to yawn with fully open month but I’m working on it. The healing went pretty good even though I was very swollen the first 2 weeks. Overall, the entire experience from consultation to after care was positive. Being 3 months out, I have no pain or sagging issues. Very thankful to Dr.Park for giving me the result I wanted. I think my face now looks more balanced and all my friends and family liked my results. Feeling very happy and satisfied so far. Cheers!

Do you think you would have achieved that with lipo on the chin?

Hi, did you have a sagging issue?
