I had a weak chin and my profile view was not the best. I decided to get zygoma reduction and v-line with Dr Kwan. I am only 21 days post today and I am still swollen a little but I dont feel any pain. I stopped taking my pain meds the second week after my procedure. I am sleeping sitting up and have been since the day of surgery which is very uncomfortable but worth it. So far I am very happy with my results, feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my best to answer them. I still have two months to fully see the ending results so I am very exciting to see what I will look like.

Wow looks great! Was the zygoma part not really painful though? You have that perfect eye / cheek curve thing going on now so even if it was totally worth it! How does reduction work if you felt ur chin was already weak though? Wouldn't the v line make it smaller? I never knew about these procedures until realself, giving me ideas aaaargh! Ha

Hey, lol ok so the zygoma reduction I really needed. My cheekbones were really high and projected waaaay too much so. To get the desired look I wanted I know I had to get that done regardless. I had a week chin before and getting the v-line included getting a chin implant and sculpting my jaw line. It took me two years to go through with this so take your time lol I'm still really swollen even 21 days post but I'm already happy with the results I see. I hope that was helpful:)

Ah cool yeah definitely don't wanna rush into this stuff so good u took ur time and got it done safely - I have read a lot of crazy stories about people going to Korea and getting lost with the language barrier and tons of other patients and high volume surgeries. So defos glad to know it can be done in the states! I don't know if i could deal with the sleeping sitting up though lol - i tend to face palm :-)

Did Dr Kwan join the cheek bones with plates and screws to hold the cheek bones together? Have you got CT scans of your current cheek bones?

Looks great! well done! could you please keep up posted on your skin situation - ppl say zygoma reduction may result in skin sagging.. so far you look amazing!
