DEPRESSED! Jaw/chin Surgery - South Korea, KR

$17,000
Three months ago on April 13, 2016, I flew to Seoul, Korea, to have v-line (jaw/chin reduction) surgery. I also had a SMAS facelift. I did this because I was very depressed over how "fat" my face was. It was quite the ordeal and I was excited to see the results a few months later. Well, I'm not at 3 months post-surgery and I still look the same. The surgeon thinks I need to wait another 3 months but how much more different will the results be in another 3 months? This is what I need to know - and they are very reluctant to give me an answer. Can any professional tell me what to expect in another 3 months? Will I still have this double chin? Will my cheeks still be this fat? I wanted a slim face, and this is anything but! I was told I have thick skin, and if that's what's keeping my face fat - what are my options? Thank you so much for your advice. I am willing to fly anywhere in the US to get further procedures to achieve the look I'm after. (I don't think my jaw can get any smaller though!) I have included the before and after x-rays as well as the most recent picture of my face. As you can see - my face looks fat and EVERYONE says I look exactly the same as I did before. Is this normal after $17,000 worth of surgery????

That's a pretty invasive surgery. I wouldn't be surprised if the swelling takes a whole year to fully subside. In the meantime you could always try Botox into the masseter muscles. Maybe your main problem is over-developed muscle there.
And you look nice, try not to be so hard on yourself :)

So how do you really look now?
It seems expensive what you did. I mean more then usual.

Well, I read it better now. There are many places in Europe you could try. I mean try for real with a successful result. However it also genetics you have to understand. What is you nationality? Filipino? Even if a result can be achieved you have to live like a skinny girl from that they on. Trust me I know. I have been different all my life. Money not well spend will not give you happiness. You can write to me here if you want.

You don't know and are giving misinformation. I have seen ppl face slim down after this surgery. What's the point of telling her it's genetics when plastic surgery is clearly to correct what you don't like about your genetics.

Money well spent will give you happiness... Just to find someone who is not a crooked dr

I too have a round face whith thick skin. From your photo I can tell you at this stage I think you would benefit from loosibg weight. I have skinby legs an always teied to get more weight and it just went on my face! As i accepted my legs and git back to my skunny old self, my face look great!! Do not have more procedures! You will ruin your face! I had buccal fat removal and regret it. In a couple of years my face gotl so much older, i look tired!! It is realy not worth it! And btw, yes! You will see more results in 3 months! If you manage to lose also a few poubds, you will be amazed. Do it healthy! Healty food and gym! Hope this helps. Pm me if you have more questions.

She has NO weight to lose at all. Telling someone of her height and weight that is irresponsible. Everyone loses weight from different places and if she listened to you, she could lose weight from anywhere but her face and end up with an eating disorder. If weight loss was the issue, the doctors would have told her to get facial lipo. They wouldn't have cut into her bone.

I think she doesn't know better. I'm not trying to be mean but I don't think her intent was malicious.

you’re very kind but n Korea, plastic surgery surgeon don’t think for patients. they’ll cut into anyone if even if it’s obvious that they don’t need the surgery. I’ve knew this before thy messed up my face and I even found out more after.

If this is your pic you look beautiful, you don't need anything changed?

It seems that there's nothing wrong with your bone structure but your body fat percentage. There are people with very low weight but high body fat percentages aka skinny fat. And they have more fat deposits even though they're very light in weight or look small in clothing. Recommend you work out with some weight training to tone up muscle and reduce fat. I had a really chubby face and started weight training and healthy dieting, only lost 5 lbs but my face is already a lot smaller. You have a beautiful face, don't worry and be patient.

You're wrong... She needs a real v-line surgery and exercise n will not make her get the results she wishes to achieve

Judging from the scans yourr jaw is slimmer as the borders hace been shaved quite high. Dont stress about abit of chyb in your cheeks you will age vetter than everyone else. Youre lucky
