Cheekbone Reduction & V-Line Surgery
4,263Right After Surgery (Day 0) I had been wanting to try facial contouring for a long time. At first, I thought that I had sunken temples so I visited a clinic for temporal fat grafting. However, after the procedure, my face became wider and bigger and it was not the result I desired.
Looking at my pictures before surgery, my cheekbones were high and my cheeks were wide. I really hated my face shape and I wanted to go for a face contour surgery. For almost a year, I conducted searches on hospitals at home and overseas but the surgery prices were ridiculously high.
And then, I found NOWME. I must have been terribly lucky. NOWME caught my eye because it is a specialist clinic.
It specializes in oral and maxillofacial surgery unlike general hospitals which have all the other departments. Therefore, I contacted the clinic's interpreter at once and even had my electronic medical visa made within 3 days. It was extremely fast!
The moment I got my visa, I bought my plane ticket and set off for Korea immediately. Upon arriving at the clinic, the interpreter accompanied me through a couple of tests. Next I took a CT scan and the doctor explained the surgical procedures to me.
I went for the surgery the very next day. Today is the first day after surgery. The surgery ended in the afternoon of the 15th.
I am very satisfied with the results. The doctor has, indeed, the same aesthetic sense as I have.
