I underwent square jaw surgery, zygoma and front...

I underwent square jaw surgery, zygoma and front chin surgery (facial contouring) at DA Plastic Surgery in South Korea. I was considering having facial contouring surgery done for ages as I had square jaw and I did NOT like the way I looked. I always hid my square jaw with my hair and avoided taking photos.
DA Plastic Surgery's head surgeon, Dr.Lee Sang Woo is famous for facial contouring surgeon and after a consultation with him, I decided to undergo surgery.
On the day of surgery: I went in at around 9AM to the clinic and got changed into robes. I was so nervous but the nurses there calmed me down which helped a lot. I saw the doctor before going into surgery and he explained to me what was going to happen and where he is going to operate etc. Then I went into the operation room and I remember it being very clean and cold. I was so nervous then but the anesthesiologist came and asked me some questions and I went straight to sleep afterwards. I woke up few hours later and I was groggy as anesthesia hasn’t worn off 100% and I wasn’t in pain but I was feeling chilly and dizzy. I was also very thirsty but I couldn’t consume water for 4 hours!! That was the worst part. After that I stayed overnight at the clinic and I just slept and slept.
Swelling wasn’t bad on the day of surgery but after 3~4 days, it got extremely worse. My cheeks and lips were all swollen and I couldn’t even open my mouth. It was horrible. I consumed pumpkin juice which apparently helps de-welling and I walked around a little bit and swelling decreased but very slowly..
I went to the clinic on the 3rd day to get my stitches removed and I remember the nurse being really friendly. I asked a lot of questions as I am nervous about everything but she was very kind to answer all of them patiently. Stitch removal didn't hurt that bad.
The worst part of it all is that you cannot eat solid food!!! That's the worst part of jaw surgery. And you can chop food into little pieces or soak it in liquid to make it less hard.. I think I lost a lot of weight after surgery due to this.
I am currently 1 month post op and everything is great so far. Swelling went down rapidly after 3 weeks, and I LOVE seeing my slim jaw line, front and side! No more hiding my jaws with my hair!
I do NOT regret my decision to undergo surgery and I would recommend DA Plastic Surgery for those who are thinking of getting facial contouring surgery.

Dr.Lee is famous for facial contouring. He was well mannered, answered my questions thoroughly and he did not try to over-sell. He only recommended necessary surgeries and explained to me in detail what the procedure was going to be.
