based on my experience, the surgeon is absolutely right. I used to have severe nasolabial folds before getting buccal fat removal, because gravity pulled the fat down. The nasolabial folds practically disappeared when I got rid of my buccal fat. However, the removal of buccal fat caused slight sagging on the corners of my mouth.

Interesting. Also it's a good reminder not to overdo the midface FG since if the skin can't support the added fat, it could sag.
Today's post is on smile analysis. Some report difficulty smiling post rhino (that happened to me too but got better over time so be patient). Another mentioned that we may see big cheeks but others don't. This got me thinking. I went to asps in apgujeong dehydrated on the morning of my scheduled op at mvp in Feb of this year to get an opinion on facelift but the asps consultant had a look at my face and said I was not a candidate?! Also got refused facelift by Dr Amir in the uk? Why am I being refused facelifts in person? Maybe because I smile when I see them as I am so happy getting surgical opinions? When I smile my whole face is lifted naturally! lol. And maybe they see apple cheeks and not big wide cheeks? Maybe I need to smile more and stop looking for faults.

I have had buccal fat removal too @viamala. I would love to understand why we get sagging at the mouth corners. I noticed in old photos I had this even 2 years ago before korea. Will do research. Really happy to now understand why some have deep nasolabial folds and why some don't.
Today's post is on how misleading Instagram clinic b&a photos can be. One clinic likes to post double chins with the patient pressing the chin against the body with miraculous afters. Sooooo I decided to see if I could recreate a hideous double chin with sagging by pressing my chin against my sternum and then clicking selfie. Yikes really ghastly. Then I took a selfie of my normal face, ie took my chin off my chest...wow amazing non surgical transformation!
Now read this summary of potential complications I found on another site. https://cosmeticjourney.com/forum/t...oblemscomplications-with-face-bone-reduction/
Shocking read. Bone surgery is not to be taken lightly and do not fall for instagram clinic b&a images. Find real patients and ask for 1 year follow ups.

Hahahaha.
This is so funny.
But yes! I do that sometimes... however, i will refrain from doing it as i am scared of double chin!
That reminds me of this:
While it's funny to joke about we've seen clinics who actually do tricks like that to make the patient look worse in the before pics so the after looks that much better, it's so shameful and deceptive I can't believe they actually stoop to that level. If a clinic made me pose like that, I'd run out the door as imagine if they later use such a picture against you to prove the surgery outcome made an improvement?
Omg @Gats that is such a hilarious video clip on camera angles! Here is a b+a clinic photo on instagram of a girl pressing her chin down like I did and then the dramatic after with her chin up. She uses hair to cover up most of the right side of her face in the after so it is not an exact before and after surgery. Also in the before she is wearing many layers of clothing to bulk up and in the after has a thin v neck t shirt.

Good gawd, Fresh has no shame. I went to look at their website to see if they do that there too, omg check out the top of their double chin surgery front page: http://engfreshps.com/170
It's laughable. In the side profile shots, that gives away how a change in neck position can exaggerate your appearance. I hope people out there are sensible enough to see through these tricks:

Wow, I had no idea there was this kind of difference in face widths! I’m Chinese and did your face measurement technique and my face is 12.5cm. Maybe this is why it never occurred to me growing up in the US in a Caucasian neighborhood that face widths could be so different. But like others have said I don’t think small faces necessarily constitute beauty. There is so much more to the equation!
For those who face Sophie's choice over whether to get zygoma reduction to reduce the facial width, a simple solution and one I use is cosmetic spectacles. Here is an example of how it creates a perfect golden ratio face just with a pair of glasses.

Today's post is on comparing like with like. Ladies we often look and compare our no make-up face to clinic afters and celebs on instagram with full professional makeup with contouring and false eyelashes, studio lighting, professional hair stylist and sometimes even elongate their bodies in slanted mirrors. I know I do this with Han ye seul ( see ig photo) and have to chide myself as professional makeup and lighting can create her extraordinary beauty. I need to find a bare faced photo of her instead or compare myself with full make-up with contouring and hair professionally styled. Remember to compare like with like.
Another observation is that cheek reduction/augmentation is cultural! Here a Brit has her cheeks augmented with dermal filler yet we Asians would prefer her before cheeks and some reduce their cheekbones to achieve it!
As an aside I have booked blonde highlights for Friday for £60. Finally going to try blonde the professional way in my quest to look more like Han Ye Seul.

I am now studying how to make my face look slim in selfies. I would be the girl next to Han ye seul with my wide 15 cms face. Studying Han's pose she uses hair on one side to cover some of her face and the finger gesture to hide the other side of her face. She also tilts her chin down so her forehead appears bigger and lower face smaller. And false eyelashes make her eyes pop next to the girl with no false lashes. Fascinating. So if you take a group photo, remember her photo modeling tips!
Am getting excited about trying blonde professionally in 2 days. No more diy disasters wrecking the colour and condition of my hair.
