Last year, for our anniversary, my wonderful husband gifted me a life-changing surgery—my facelift, neck lift, platysmaplasty, and face fat graft. It felt like a dream come true. I had been concerned about my aging appearance for a few years, especially as I was turning 50, but feeling like I looked closer to 60-70 really took a toll on my confidence.
I had my consultation with Dr. Choi Jae Ik, who speaks English fluently and really took the time to explain everything. He recommended a few procedures, and, well, I ended up getting them all done together (lol)! Honestly, the decision wasn't easy, but I’m so glad I took the leap.
The recovery process had its moments, of course. The pain was manageable, and the swelling was definitely uncomfortable at times, but with some painkillers, I could sleep through the nights, which made all the difference. I also did some Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) because my blood circulation wasn’t the best, and it really helped speed up my recovery.
Now, 5 months post-op, I’m amazed at how far I’ve come! The swelling in my temple area has improved over time, and while I know it will take a bit more time to fully settle, I already feel fantastic about my results. My sagging skin is finally gone, and I feel like I’ve reclaimed my youth. It's been such a rewarding experience, and I couldn't be happier with how things turned out!
