WORTH IT
I'm not confortable posting pictures of my entire face, but I understand so well the importance of real before- & afters.

This picture below is perhaps not super clear, but it's 100% unfiltered and without any make up. It's about the contours of the jawline and the cheeks, so it should give you at least an idea what to expect.

Best of luck!

Before and after: to remind myself how it used to be

I really dislike going on pictures, so I uploaded my current passport photo. There I can really see the difference.

Shortly after this picture was taken (about 5 years ago) I had buccal fat pad removal. As you can see in the very first pic (right before surgery) that also made a difference.

The acculift, facelift and facial contouring at Braun were done absolutely phenomenal. Still healing, but I again regret not having this done 15 years ago.

thanks for sharing. please kindly share the price, dear! my impression is that korean surgery clinics price gouge foreigners. is that accurate?

Can you feel the screws in your face? Thank you

Thank you for your kind replies! I don't know for a fact if foreigners get to pay more than locals. Of course, I heard the rumours, so I hired a translator to negotiate. I was not used to that, because I was born and raised in a Western country.

I was asked not to mention the price, but I do have a tip, from my experience: be open and honest upfront about your budget. This really helps.

As for the other question: I do not feel the screws at all :)

Thank you for your kind comments! I do not feel the screws at all.

Very happy they are there. My chin and cheekbones feel just as 'strong' as before.

I was kind of worried before about that too, but so far I can only say I'm very happy with it.

Not very useful story if not mentioning who your surgeon is.

6 weeks post up: still very happy!

6 week post up:

-Minor swelling (mainly on the right side)
-Incisions are getting far less visible
-Chin is still a bit numb (as expexted)
-The rest of my face is not numb, to my surprise. Starting to feel it again slowly.
-Mild hardness at the cheekbone area
-No pain
-Can brush my teeth with a normal toothbrush again
-Can chew again but not biting an apple kf course
-I don't have to sleep with extra cushions anymore

I've posted a photo. 3 Weeks after this surgery I also had a lipline reconstruction at Deesse Clinic. So my lip shape looks slightly different.
