Went to Work Straight After Double Eyelid Surgery

Image
Real Story: Double Eyelid Surgery I've always been troubled by my tiny and bland looking eyes. Recently, I told people around me that I wanted to get a consultation, and my  coworker recommended  Wonjin Beauty Medical Group.  So I just visited without much expectations, but I loved how the consultation went. I immediately made  a reservation that same day and I felt so nervous and excited at the same time!  During the actual surgery day, everybody was very kind to me  and took care of me after the surgery as well.  After the surgery, the stitches were hardly visible and there wasn't much swelling.  That was the best part because I had to go to work right after my surgery hehe  My friends tell me that the surgery went really well and that they want to get their eyes done too.  I am more than satisfied with the results.  Also, it's been only 2 months since the surgery but I feel that t...

Korean Plastic Surgery that the Chinese Must Be Aware Of 3

[In Min Ilbo] Natural Looking Cosmetic Surgery The trend nowadays in Korea is "natural looking" cosmetic surgery. Compared to the past, people are now less fearful about plastic surgery and it has become a common phenomenon. However, there are still people who want to keep the fact that they received surgery, a little secret.  But can many people be satisfied with surgical results that may or may not look different after surgery? With much research and experience, it does not seem that way. During the consultation, patients say that they would like natural results but on the contrary, after the surgery, they complain that friends and family tell them they do not look like they had surgery at all.  Ironically, patients say they want natural results before the surgery but after the surgery, they want it to be noticeable. The main reason patients undergo surgery is to correct or fix a part of them they dislike, but if the change is not noticeable, then the patients...

Facial Contouring After Orthodontic Braces

Image
Real Story: Facial Contouring  I had orthodontic braces for over 2 years but I ended up losing so much fat on my cheeks that I had to receive fat grafting treatment. After my cheeks became gaunt, my cheekbones look unnaturally protruding so I decided to receive cheekbone reduction surgery.  The shape of my face looked like a skull because of my protruding cheekbones and my gaunt cheeks. It was almost impossible for me to take pictures facing front :( So whenever I would take a selfie, I'd take it so that the shape of my face was not very visible.  When I visited Wonjin Beauty Medical Group, everybody was kind and gave me a detailed explanation about the surgery. They seemed to have a very organized system so I went ahead and decided to get surgery at this clinic.  It has been approximately 2 weeks since the surgery so I still look swollen. But I'm really loving my smooth outline or contour of my new face, and it looks like my forehead we...

What is Instant Nose Surgery?  In Korea, it's called "Kopong" and it is the nose equivalent of a push up bra or fake eyelashes. They are mini self cosmetic surgery equipment to lift the nose so that the nose has a smooth and taller shape.  Some of these self equipment can create double eyelids, make the face slimmer, and even get rid of smile lines next to the nose!

There was a case of a patient who inserted the "Kopong" for a month and then later h...

Breast Augmentation

Real Diary: My husband was against it, but now he loves it!  Before I gave birth, my breasts were not that bad even though I always thought they were somewhat small compared to other women my size. But after I gave birth and began breast feeding, my breasts became close to nothing. I was very skinny, and when my breasts disappeared, it just looked really depressing. I convinced my narrow-minded husband so that I could receive breast surgery.  During the consultation, I asked the doctor to give me full A cups. The doctor and the consultant both told me that full B cups would look good on me and that I might regret it if I get too small implants. However, I thought that since my frame is small, it would look strange if I had enormous breasts. So I had them insert implants that were 235 cc and I'm so satisfied! They look just right on my body and like my natural breasts!  After the surgery, I guess I didn't have that much of a hard time. The surgery was pe...
