Ahreum’s Real story
Name: Ahreum, Park
Surgical Area: Mandibular jaw reduction, Cheekbone reduction, Chin augmentation, Hair line transplantation
Part 1: Before the surgery, her story
“Although my face seemed slim from the front, my profile was wide”
I always got more positive comments than the negative on my appearance, but I had an issue about my self-image. Something I could tell no one! It was my hair line and facial structure.
Although my face is on the slimmer side, my cheekbones were too prominent that my face seemed so wide in every picture.
Also, from the front my face looked alright, but my profile looked really wide because of my prominent jaw angle.
Oh and what else? I looked so plain because I had no chin! Only the ones who know these problems can understand how I felt.
Part 2: Before and after the surgery, her story
Part 3: On the surgery day, her story
“I didn't feel tense because I had a thorough instruction of the procedure”
When I first arrived, the reality that I’m getting my surgery didn't kick in.
But after I got my 3D-ct scan, I started to get nervous and scared about the operation.
When I realized it’s a scary operation I’m undergoing, it was harder for me to loosen up.
I decided to have my hair line transplantation a month after my facial structure surgery.
I can’t show pictures of the results from the hair transplantation yet because it takes a bit more time.
Because I wanted to get more painful operations out of the way, I decided to get the facial structure surgery first. I was really thankful because the surgeon checked everything thoroughly with me and explained the procedure in detail.
Part 4: One week after the surgery, her story
“If you can bear the first 3 days, the swelling will go away soon”
The day after the surgery, my face was so swollen that my double eyelids were about to disappear. I was told it wasn't serious in comparison with other patients, which was surprising. My face was like a balloon!
Although I’m pretty dull with pain, it hurt so much. The incision I had above my ears for the cheekbone reduction throbbed, I could taste the blood in my mouth, couldn't open my mouth wide… Before the hose was removed from my mouth, I couldn't stand the pain. I was so relieved to come back home.
Part 5: Two weeks after the surgery, her story
“My prominent cheekbones are gone!”
The major swelling in the facial area went away. Although the puffiness usually goes away quickly for me, the area around my cheekbones was still puffy. You can see my cheeks in the picture.
But as you might have noticed from the pictures, the cheekbones aren't prominent anymore and draw a smooth line.
Can you see it?
Before, I never liked any of my pictures because my cheekbones were very visible and my mandibular jaw was too prominent. But now I like to take pictures even with puffy cheeks!
Part 6: four weeks after the surgery, her story
“Front and profile, I’m confident with both!”
It’s already been a month since the surgery!
There are no sign of swelling, maybe some minor puffiness I can’t even tell.
I feel like this is the final result! And everyone around me already thinks I’m fully recovered.
Even when I take pictures from all angles, see the change in my face line?
My mom says because my face became smaller, my eyes look bigger and my nose seems sharper.
When I take pictures now, my facial shape is so pretty that I can frown and still feel good about my looks.
Part 7: After the surgery, her story
“They say they can’t tell why but I look much more beautiful”
Could it be because my eyes and nose are naturally mine? People don’t know I've had facial structure surgery, so they tell me they can’t tell why but I look better.
They ask if I've lost weight, if I go to a dermatologist or receive special massages… Recently I’m hearing all kinds of questions about my looks!
I preferred incisions and reductions because I personally can’t stand the idea of silicone implants.
Although it was tough right after the surgery, with all the swelling gone and the bones in place now, I feel so natural with them! I like how my face looks so small.
Part 0: Before and after the surgery, her story
Thanks to the smaller face, my eyes look bigger and nose sharper! I wasn't confident with my profile but now from any angle, “I love taking pictures!”
