Did not go with Girin, but chose Face Dental

WORTH IT$9,500
I did not go with Girin afterall, I chose Face Dental Clinic in Seoul. I had vline, genioplasty and double jaw surgery, I felt my results were somewhat subtle, and I was hoping for something more dramatic. I have a low nerve in my jaw and I was informed I could not remove any more bone. My face is shorter and my surgery was done safely. I felt that if I was going to do major surgery like double jaw, the best clinic would be a dental clinic and I am glad I chose that. I had swelling that lasted for months and I drank liquids for weeks until I was able to eat very soft foods. The recovery process with a surgery like that is quite long.

I am planning to have surgery this summer at Girin...

I am planning to have surgery this summer at Girin Clinic for V-line for entire mandible and chin, zygoma reduction, chin augmentation, fat graft to forehead and cheeks, acculift and ptosis revision for my eyes.

I chose Seoul, Korea because I feel that there is a higher volume of surgical procedures in the areas that will address the issues with my features that I have. I have spoken to other doctors in the United States and the prices are exorbitant and the results varied. I feel that my chances for the results I am looking for will be better in Korea.

I have a very strong jawline and chin and it gives me a masculine and harsh appearance. I have a stronger jawline than some men I have met and it really bothers me. It is like Jennifer Aniston :( and I simply do not find strong features like mine attractive. My nickname used to be butterface (nice body, ugly face) and I would cry about it. It sucked to be known as that person. I am no longer going to be bound by my own insecurities and I am going to do something about how I feel about my appearance. Some may disagree with this decision and say to me I should just accept my looks, but I chose not to.

I am hoping for a dramatic change to my appearance and I want to look beautiful with soft features and feminine.

I will put some before and after photos up, but I will blot my eyes out, because I do want some privacy. Since surgery will not be until a few months from now, I will return in 6 months with the results of my makeover.

Please wish me luck everyone! I am very excited and optimistic about this.

I went to The Face Dental Clinic. I had vline, genioplasty and double jaw surgery. I chose this clinic because I felt double jaw surgery would be best with a dental clinic. My face is shorter and looks more proportionate.
