Hello all. I have a honest experience with my facial contouring in Korea. First off recovery is not 2-4 weeks. It takes a whole year to deswell. I’m post op 6.5 months and I am still swollen and I cannot open my mouth fully, I have numbness to my chin, lower lip and lower gums. I still find it difficult to chew. Expectations, do not think you will be coming out looking like a k-pop star. You are enhancing you. I believe many pictures are doctured and make-up does wonders. That being said it is not an easy process. You can’t eat anything for weeks. You mouth will open maybe a pinky finger in the first month post op. You will look really strange. All the people who are working there will say that you look great but you look like a monster. I had my eyes done, vline jaw, genioplasty, zygomatic reduction and a face lift. The doctors knew I would have saggy skin and I’m glad I got the face lift or I’d be dealing with saggy skin 100%. When you take the underlying structure of you Facial bones the skin that was leveraging on the bones needs somewhere to go. I got 10 cm of skin cut off and re-put on my face. So they aren’t trying to up sell you, they are speaking the truth. Pain was more like uncomfortable. I’m still patiently waiting for my full results. I’ll tell you there is a phase where you will get depressed and think wtf did I do to my face. They never tell you about that. If you guys have questions let me know I will respond. Remember 1 full year to see full results. I still feel my face looks like no shape or structure at 6.5 months. Those YouTube vloggers are paid to say it only takes one month to recover. That is a load of BS. I’m still swollen at 6.5 months. So be in it for her long haul. The whole thing cost me 24k USD. It’s not cheap but cheaper than North America and the docs know how to treat Asian faces. Am I happy with my results? My answer is I have to live with my decision. I wasn’t ugly to start off with so, I do regret it but no turning back now.
I'm sorry that you're not happy with your results :/ I had v-line, zygoma reduction, sliding genioplasty and a chin implant put in at GNG in May and I'm extremely happy with my results and I'm really thankful I did the surgery. I was told with my age and skin type I didn't need a face lift and I'm glad I didn't get one because I have no sagging whatsoever but that differs person to person so everyone should definitely ask their doctors if they believe they will have sagging. I do agree that the process and results differ with everyone but for me I noticed that swelling 'looked' gone around the 3rd week (my swelling decreased DRASTICALLY around this week) and I didn't really have anymore noticeable swelling after the first month and a half. I also agree when you say you won't look like yourself for the first few weeks like AT ALL. The third week was a HUGE turning point for me as that's when my 'face' started coming back. It's definitely a process. I'm 5 months post op with be 6 near the end of this month and all of my swelling 'to me' is completely gone. I have no more numbness as I did the first few months around my chin and cheeks and I feel as though I've completely healed. So I definitely think the healing process is different for everyone. But all doctors will tell you full results come between 6 month to one full year.
Numbness is what I fear about fc, along with nerve damage and infection or worst case scenario sepsis of course
Hope it never happens..Where did you have your surgeries done?
Also how old are you, if you don't mind, so they suggested a face lift as well?
Are you getting any treatment for the numbness and swelling? I think magnesium and vitamin b complex help with the nerves, have you tried them?
Thank you for sharing.

They give you plenty of antibiotics profolactivally post-op that you are supposed to take for 2-4 weeks so sepsis is probably unlikely. If you do go and get it done I recommend at least 2 weeks in Korea. If you have major pain, redness, fever and pus then that is a sign of local infection that can lead to sepsis.
They do a CT scan so they can see where exactly the nerve lies on your chin area so if you go with a good clinic then they will tell you the risk benefits. I am in my 30s but I looked 25 pre-op. I can show you before and after pics and tell you which clinic I went to via wechat do you have an email I can send you my wechat ID?.

Thank you very much!
Do you regret it because it is such a long and lengthy process to heal? I also got it done but in LA and I don’t look that much different. Topping it off my surgeon didn’t do a good job so my attempt at evening out my jaw is a fail. I was thinking of going to Korea to redo it, but wondering if the cons outweigh the pros.
Hi PaperbagprincessD, I regret it because I feel it wasn’t necessary. The thing about revisions is once you start and you possibly won’t like the result you may keep going back to fix it. There are many stories and many girls I know who have done their noses and now look like Michael Jackson’s nose. So yes you must weigh out your pros and cons. If there is assymetry that you feel is fixable then make sure you go to the right clinic in Korea. Use one of those docfinder.com so you can find the best doctor at jaw revision. I’ve read many stories or Facial sagging on here and other forums in which they do not account for bone structure being altered and then excess skin. Aging a person significantly. Then it’s do you get a face lift of thread lift. The thread lift only lasts a year. Plastic surgery is hit or miss. Just because it’s Korea doesn’t mean they can fix what the other doctor did. I’m not trying to be negative. I mean my results are good they just aren’t what everyone says they are. Everyone is different yes but let’s be honest craniofacial surgery sustains quite an injury as bone, muscle and soft tissue is manipulated. 1 month recovery is quite absurd. Unless someone had a major square jaw. Swelling takes a full year to heal. So if you are going to do this surgery then you have to be patient for results. 3 weeks recovery is not practical. You can’t evej open your mouth fully st 6.5 months post op. A full recovery is full results including the ability to open your mouth pre-op.
Hello @SooJinS
I'm about same age as you and i'm interested in fc/2jaw. Thank you for sharing your experience, i'm leaving next year and still am weighing my options about what procedures that suit me. It's a long deliberation really, since i just want to get it done once and i would be upset if i do revisions within 3years down the line.
I will pm you if you don't mind
