I actually hesitated to do fat grafting at ID because ID is known as a specialized hospital for facial bone surgery, so I had a doubt on their fat graft.
But, I realized that I was wrong as soon as I had the surgery. I’m very satisfied with the result!
I actually had 2 sessions of fat graft. The first session was done in October and I returned to Korea for the second session in December. They told me to come back for the second session no later than 3 months after the first one.
From the third day of the first session, I started to have swellings and bruises but it was hardly swollen and I had no bruise after the second session. Dr. Young Tae Seo who was my doctor, said that the major swellings usually begin to reduce from a week after surgery. My forehead became so natural about 2 weeks after surgery.
I used to hate my forehead because it was too flat but I got my confidence back on my forehead now!
It was my first time undergoing a plastic surgery so I was very nervous but all of staffs at ID put me at ease. They were very kind and helpful.

Thanks for the review, your result looks great! I have a few questions. After surgery, did you go back for daily deswelling treatments or anything like that? What percentage of the fat from the first surgery would you say was lost 3 months later (before the second session)? For the second surgery, did they use the extra fat saved from the first surgery or did they do lipo again? How many weeks do you think you should schedule to stay in Korea if you're doing fat graft?

Hi! I didnt need any deswelling treatment because when you get fat graft, the area where you put the fats should not be touched by anything! hmmm I think I lost 30-40% from the first one. They took out the fats as much as they could at the first surgery and stored the rest of fats for the second surgery. That's why they wanted me to come back within 3 months after 1st surgery, otherwise, the stored fats will be thrown.
Thanks for sharing with us! I'm so glad you love your results. :) Have you been getting a lot of compliments?
That's wonderful! Do you feel like you're fully recovered?
