[Health Column] Top 5 Reasons People Regret Most After Facial Contouring Surgery

 

 

Hello! View Plastic Surgery Director Yoon Chang-woon no see.

 

Facial contouring surgery is a representative procedure that smooths out the facial shape and positively changes the overall impression.

 

However, rather than the difficulty of the surgery itself, there is considerable regret and disappointment left when making a hasty decision without sufficient information or understanding.

 

In fact, there are questions and vivid feedback that I frequently hear from patients in the consultation room, and today, based on these... Top 5 Reasons Why People Regret Facial Contouring Surgery the Most I would like to honestly address this.

 

If you understand just this much before surgery, you can significantly reduce the chances of regret, so please pay attention!

 

So, shall we take a look at the inside story, one by one, regarding what patients actually find most confusing and regrettable?

 

1️⃣ "My face didn't get as small as I thought."

🚨 Just because you go to extreme lengths doesn't mean you will automatically have a dramatically small head like a celebrity.

When considering facial contouring surgery, people often have the expectation that "if I just have the surgery, I'll have a super small face like a celebrity, right?"

 

However, our actual face size is not determined solely by the size of the bones.

 

The volume and silhouette of the face Not only the bones, but also the skin thickness, fat layer, and even the amount of muscle This is because it is affected by complex factors.

 

Therefore, rather than obsessing solely over removing a large amount of bone, you should plan the surgery by considering the overall harmony and balance of the face to avoid regrets.

 

 

2️⃣ "I didn't know the swelling would last this long"

🚨 Not only the surgical procedure itself, but also the subsequent recovery process is all part of the surgery.

Many people are greatly alarmed by the swelling, which is more severe than expected, when they look in the mirror immediately after surgery.

 

Generally, significant swelling subsides considerably and settles within a few weeks after surgery.

 

but Invisible, fine residual swelling gradually subsides over several months. You must keep this in mind.

 

Rather than hastily judging the swollen appearance immediately after surgery as the final result and becoming anxious, it is necessary to maintain a relaxed mindset and patiently observe the recovery process.

 

3️⃣ "I never even thought about sagging cheeks"

🚨 The critical keyword that must be checked together when considering facial contouring surgery is... sagging cheeks no see.

As the volume of the bone decreases, the skin and soft tissues surrounding it shift.

 

In this case, if the original skin lacked elasticity significantly or if there is an excessive amount of soft tissue compared to the amount excised, sagging may occur as the skin adapts to the new facial shape.

 

Having facial contouring surgery does not necessarily mean that sagging cheeks will occur. Individual skin condition, age group, surgical scope There are clear differences in the patterns that appear depending on it.

 

Therefore, before proceeding with surgery, it is necessary to predict your skin elasticity through an accurate preliminary diagnosis and design a surgical plan tailored to it.

 

 

4️⃣ "I chose the hospital based only on the price"

🚨 Facial contouring surgery is a very difficult procedure, so always 'safety' This must be the top priority standard.

Sometimes, people hastily choose a hospital, attracted solely by cost benefits or low promotional prices.

 

However, facial contouring is a highly complex medical field that requires the delicate handling of numerous facial bones, complex nerve lines, and microvessels.

 

Rather than a simple cost comparison Extensive clinical experience of the attending medical staff, in-hospital safety systems, and emergency response systems You must carefully examine whether it is fully equipped.

 

Since this is a surgery to change a facial shape you will have for a lifetime, the criterion is not cost Safety and professionalism Only by becoming this way will you avoid leaving any regrets.

 

 

5️⃣ "I should have been more careful when deciding on my first surgery" 🚨

🚨 The difficulty of facial contouring revision surgery increases incomparably compared to the first surgery.

You decide to undergo revision surgery when asymmetry appears after the first surgery, when the expected improvement is not achieved, or conversely, when too much bone has been resected.

 

Since revision surgery requires precisely correcting the bone structure that has already been deformed and the surrounding tissues that are firmly adhered, There are many surgical restrictions, and it is much more difficult.

 

Therefore, to avoid the difficult process of revision surgery, undergo thorough and careful consultation from the beginning Proceed with high quality in a single, precise plan Doing so is more important than anything else.
