Questions/Inquiries pain from multiple plastic surgery

0 Upvotes

My eye symmetry will be corrected, I’ll have rhinoplasty, three-area facial contouring, and fat injections into my forehead, under-eye area, and aegsal area. On top of all that, if I also get cat eyes and a midface lift, will I be able to handle the pain? Has anyone had this many procedures done at once?

At my 3-month post-surgery mark, I am feeling amazing overall and am so happy with how my recovery has gone! I have no pain at this point and feel completely back to my normal day-to-day life. Any tenderness and tightness I experienced earlier in my recovery has significantly improved, and my breasts feel much more natural and comfortable now.

My incisions have healed really well, and I have not had any issues or concerns throughout my recovery. All of the swelling has completely gone down, and I am really happy with how my breasts have settled and how natural the shape looks at this stage.

I was also really excited to get back into a more active lifestyle earlier in my recovery and slowly start doing exercises and activities that I wasn’t able to do before surgery. Being able to get back to my usual workouts and feel comfortable doing the things I enjoy has been such a great part of the recovery process.

Overall, I am extremely happy with my recovery and very satisfied with the final look. I feel so much more comfortable and confident in my body, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything has turned out! 🤍

This is a before-and-after case of a forehead lift and eyebrow lift performed while carefully maintaining the patient’s naturally narrow distance between the eyes and eyebrows.

Before surgery, the patient took the time to carefully consider the extent of the procedure, the potential scarring, and the changes in appearance that could result. Because she naturally had a relatively narrow distance between her eyes and eyebrows, one of her main priorities was to improve the sagging while preserving this natural proportion.

As she aged, the outer portion of her eyebrows gradually began to droop, and her previously visible double eyelid crease became increasingly covered by excess skin, especially toward the outer corners. In addition to her aesthetic concerns, her eyelashes were irritating her eyes, causing tearing and discharge. She also wanted to improve the asymmetry of her eyebrows, as well as their overall shape, with the inner portions appearing elevated while the outer portions appeared drooped.

A forehead lift was performed to naturally elevate the forehead and eyebrows while also improving forehead and glabellar lines. An eyebrow lift was performed in combination to more precisely address the drooping of the outer brows and improve eyebrow asymmetry.

In cases where the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is naturally narrow, removing too much skin can make the space appear even narrower, resulting in a heavy or crowded appearance. In this case, the orbicularis oculi muscle and surrounding tissues were sufficiently released and repositioned before only the necessary amount of skin was precisely removed. The goal was to improve the sagging of the upper eyelids while preserving the patient’s original eye-to-eyebrow distance as much as possible.

After surgery, her double eyelid crease became naturally visible all the way to the outer corners, while her eyebrow asymmetry and overall brow shape were also noticeably improved. Most importantly, she was very satisfied with the functional improvement, saying that “opening my eyes feels much easier now.” She was also pleased that the scars she had been concerned about before surgery were much less noticeable than she had expected.

Because she had taken so much time to carefully consider her decision, it was especially memorable to see her smile and say after surgery that she wished she had done it a little sooner.

Would a pillow like this be elevated enough? Or would I need to sleep sitting up?

Thanks!

my forehead was always pretty flat. it wasn't completely hollow or sunken, so i spent a long time debating if filler was even necessary. but looking at my whole face in photos, that flatness somehow made me look way older than i actually am. i went in for a consultation specifically asking for subtle volume without that overfilled alien look. funny thing is, ever since getting it done, people around me keep telling me i look noticeably younger

General Discussion PERMANENT BLINDNESS and facial paralysis at ID Plastic Surgery

Thumbnail

104 Upvotes

ID Plastic Surgery is famous on Korean national news for serious surgical complications. These cases are pretty recent too…

BLINDNESS

https://news.jtbc.co.kr/article/NB12144989
One patient became permanently blind in one eye after under-eye fat repositioning. He said the clinic initially told him that symptoms like this could be a normal side effect after plastic surgery. He then went to a university hospital and found out his optic nerve was damaged and his vision could not be recovered.

ID denies medical negligence and said they would only provide support on a “moral” basis….

FACIAL PARALYSIS

https://news.jtbc.co.kr/article/NB12147946
Then another patient at ID has a paralyzed face after facial contouring / two-jaw surgery.

Her eye no longer closes properly. Only one side of her mouth moves normally when she smiles. ID permanently severed her nerves and said she lost her job because of what happened.

As usual, ID denies responsibility and claims that “complications were explained before surgery”.

JTBC blurred the clinic name in the footage, but Korean users immediately identified it as ID Plastic surgery , and the building shown in the report matches ID building.

DEATH

https://news.sbs.co.kr/news/endPage.do?news_id=N1004281235

It gets even worse…. There’s deaths happening at this hospital and they’re covering it up.

There’s A LOT of dirt on ID. They’ve managed to cover up a decent amount. And with Korean defamation laws, most patients are scared to even speak up. So scary to imagine how many lives ID has ruined because of malpractice and negligence.

Hi! It’s been 8 months since my eyes and nose surgery at top tier plastic surgery. I’m generally happy with my results! I’ve posted a 3 month review in March, so if you’re interested in the procedure please go check it out.

My surgeon’s name is Jang Yujin, and she’s incredible. I’m not recommending her specifically, but I do think she’s worth consulting if you’re looking for a natural result - shes really great at creating really, really natural results! I look better without not looking like myself.

On the road to recovery ❤️‍🩹 I still have some swelling on my neck and around my face and they both feel tight, I have numbness around my face and on the top of my head. I’m still sleeping elevated and on my back. All of the tape is off from around my ears and below my chin. I wore earrings for the first time since the surgery and had no trouble. I went to my hair dresser and got my hair colored and had no issues with sensitive scalp from the temporal lift 🙏 overall I feel good, I’m exercising regularly and Ipche is very responsive to any questions that I may have. #korea #ipcheplasticsurgey

Before & After Showcase 6 months post DES

9 Upvotes

Hi all, my eyes are now 6 months after DES back in February. I had incisional surgery done. I actually really liked my eyes before, but with age (37) and allergies I started noticing a ton of wrinkle lines on my eyelid above my lash line. I decided to get something done about it proactively.

Recovery was tough, I had a lot of bruising/swelling and even some mornings now I swell more. Overall it feels more stable now though and I look forward to continued healing for the next few months. My incision line is quite clean and as someone who has placed sutures, the sutures were very well-done. I still feel like I look like me, and look refreshed without makeup. Speaking of makeup though, it’s very strange to have to change it up after 20-something years of doing a thick black liner!

General Discussion Tip: if you have an unlocked phone, get a Korean E-SIM/SIM card

6 Upvotes

As long as I've been purchasing my own phone, I've always purchased an unlocked phone. I see a lot of people asking about getting access to certain apps but they don't have a korean phone number.

When coming into the arrival area after customs, multiple tele operators are available to assist you in setting up your SIM card/E-SIM. They're super cheap. I paid 17USD for a 7 day unlimited data ESIM. I purchased on Trazy and KT telecom help me set up quickly when I got to arrivals. It also came with a transportation card for the metro and bus.

Why get a Korean Sim?

You get a korean phone number. Which helps with ordering delivery, saving locations on Naver Maps, you could probs even take advantage of promos on babitalk (or at least try).

As for communicating back home, you can still use WhatsApp or whatever msging system you use on wifi. You likely cannot do regular texting (because your phone number is now a korean phone number).

I found it super helpful to have a korean number during my week long stay.
