Angela's Beauty Diary
Before going to Korea
I wanted a more slimmer face so I was
looking into getting a v-line surgery. I’m from the states and here, face
contouring surgery is not something common. That’s when I found out about View
clinic in South Korea. I emailed the clinic and from there on I was
corresponding with a consultant at View every day until I decided to fly to
Korea! Throughout the whole time, they were very informative and helpful with getting
me ready to travel there. I knew for sure that I wanted to do a surgery
involving slimming my face but was also open to other options. I first wanted
to get a consultation before making any decisions!
Consultations
When I arrived at View clinic, I had three
different consultations with three different Dr. One was to consult about face,
the other for breast augmentation and last for fat grafting. I also got all my
pre-op check done. It was a very busy day but I was excited for the surgery!
At the end, I decided to get v-line
surgery, reducing the angle of my jaw and slimming the chin and repositioning
it, for a smoother facial line. I also decided to get breast implants because
I’ve always wanted a bigger chest size. Dr. Yun Chang Wun, my surgeon for
breast augmentation, was known to be the best breast surgeon in Asia, so I also
was confident that it would turn out great.
For the choice of implant, I chose to go with Motiva implants. It had
the most natural look and feel out of all the ones that I felt.
Day
of the surgery
On the day of the surgery, I made sure to
avoid eating/drinking for 12 hours prior to surgery. I was very nervous, but
was more excited to see how everything would turn out!
Post-Surgery
My face was so swollen. Since I had face
contouring surgery I was told to continuously apply ice pack on my face for at
least the first three days after surgery, so that’s what I did! I also couldn’t
eat any hard food for the first couple weeks so my meals all consumed of soft
food.
My scars all healed up nicely. However, I
still had some swelling left on my face as V-line surgery usually takes 6
months to a year for all the swelling to go down. But it wasn’t that
noticeable.
I had my photoshoot exactly one month
after. It was so fun and exciting to see the “new” me! I got some great shots
from the shoot. Here are a few:
11 weeks’
post op
It’s now been almost 3 months since the surgery.
You can now see the definition coming into my face and seeing the “V” form. I’m
so happy! I went to a cosplay show recently and I tried on a costume for the
first time with my new look. When I saw myself in it, my first thoughts were
that I finally looked the way I wanted to look for such a long time. The vision
of the surgeon and myself combined is showing more and more every day. View
clinic and the staff there has been so helpful. Whenever I had any questions I
would message them and they messaged right back. They were very encouraging
even throughout my healing process, they’ve been a life savior. I’m just so
happy and excited to see my final form which is coming up in a few more months.
This whole year, is a year of looking at the changes of my face in the mirror
and liking more and more of how I look like, which is a very exciting thing to
look forward to. So, thank you so much View clinic!! Wouldn’t be here now
without you.
