VLine, Chin Augmentation, Zygoma Reduction, Paranasal Implant - P1

Hellooo!!!

Finally here to blog about my surgeries done in Korea at REGEN Medical Group!

In case you don't already know, i did my nose job and fat-grafting at REGEN last year. And i've always wanted to do something to my jawline and zygoma and laughline! So when i decided to head back this year, REGEN has to be my first choice cox the results i had with them were so good.

All the comments i've gotten are usually saying the result is really natural for my nose job and that the fat-grafting makes me look younger even without makeup ^.^ So i have to go back to REGEN!

Very thankful to know that they are also happy to work on my face so off i flew to Korea~!!!

Arrival~ ^.^ Annyeonghaseyo!!!
WELCOMED BY THIS LUXURIOUS REGEN VIP LIMO VAN for overseas clients!!! ^.^
Love how comfortable and spacious it is!!! With television and..
Being able to put your seat back and lie down like a boss haha! I had a 1 hour nap i think!!!
At Regen Medical Group once again ^.^ Happy to be back~!!! Cox i know whenever i am here.. Beautiful magic are about to happen that will change my life for the better.. Forever!
For example.. This is me before my nose job and fat-grafting at REGEN. At this point i only did a alarplasty in Thailand to reduce my nostril width. Which gave me unbalanced nostril sizes. And my whole face (especially forehead and cheekbone area) was generally very sunken, manly and tired looking with uneven bone structure.
This is me 1 month after fat-grafting and nose job done by Dr Lee Seok Jun at REGEN. NO EDIT.
And again.. No edit. I LOVE MY NOSE BRIDGE AND TIP and the results of the fat-graft. Thank you again REGEN ^.^
So yup! I am back again this year to look EVEN better haha.
The recept area kept clean and tidy, comfortable for all guests =) And there's also a cafe where there's someone serving you tea, coffee and other gourmet beverages.. For free O.O
All the doctors from REGEN who specialise in different things and are famous for doing a great job! If you can spot Dr Lee and Dr Oh (the doctor who is going to do my jawline and zygoma surgery!!) they are both super well-recognized for their skills and achievements =) Happy to be under their care!
Super huge holding area for every guest's comfort.
Me chilling and feeling excited while Daisy and Sun (two gorgeous and helpful ladies from REGEN!) sort out the admin part with the friendly counter staff =)))
The consultant look so cute here. Haha. Daisy very focused on listening to what the consultant is suggesting i do.. And then she can translate it for me =)
 
I love Daisy. Whenever she walks into the room, she always greet everyone with a HUGE smile and a bubbly HELLO omg. Super cute lah T.T And she's so pretty with major weet-you-you figure =X Now it's like i am a hamsup. But even Josh agrees with me!!! =O

Whenever she comes in me and Josh be like "Omg she's like a ball of sunshine!!!"

Daisy will be the one answering all the emails and helping you check with the consultant about all your questions before you decide to go ahead and do anything =) So if you have any questions, you may email them to find out more details before deciding on anything!

Yeon at the video camera and Sun at the back! Sun has been a joy to work with and she's helped me coordinated all the arrangement for this surgery to happen =') THANK YOU SUN! And she's so easy to talk to and so ever ready to help out with everything.

I just cannot believe how this whole journey was so easy.. So simple and so.. Enriching.

There were so many things that could be done that i never knew of, until the consultant shared with me. All the little little surgeries you can do to enhance your features, to look younger.. To look more feminine and to look BETTER!

Doing the necessary tests to make sure i am fit for surgery =)) To be honest.. I fear injections more than surgery omg. Lolol. But it was over super fast and painless, so props to the nurses ^.^
Getting X-ray images done with the most advanced machines at REGEN.
And i finally get to meet my doctor this time!!! Doctor Oh Myung June from REGEN!

He gave me a very easy-to-understand explanation of what the surgery is about and how it will be done and answered all the questions i have =))) I find it very assuring when i have a doctor who can tell me what i need and what i don't need to do.

Initially i wanted to have a forehead skin lift to help with my ptosis but he suggested me not to cox this kind of surgeries are for people of a bigger age and my ptosis can be fixed easily with botox on the right places. So i decided to keep that on hold! I totally trust him haha!

Instead he suggested i do an paranasal implant for my laughlines cox he asked me what else am i most unhappy about my face, other than my square jawline, and large chin and protruding zygoma.

So i said my laughlines have been a huge problem for me in real life and in pictures. So after the consultation i am actually feeling super excited and thankful that i am in good hands!

Actually i already know of Dr Oh from all the television programs he has been invited to share his professional opinions about and i've seen how he's changed people's lives for the better with his magic hands! On the famous reality series LET ME IN (LET 美人)!!! Have you guys seen?

You could go to Youtube to check them out. I tell you all first ah, very touching one will cry one =X When i see how their looks and life become better i'd shed tears of joy for them =X And Dr Oh is gonna be one of the chief surgeons for LET ME IN 3!!!

The show is sooooo popular in S.E.A that is it running into its third season.

http://regenglobal.net/index.php
Some of the episodes where you can see Dr Oh haha. Actually there are a lot more but i guess these are the four different concerns. But if you sift through Youtube you'd find a lot more of the cases that Dr Oh and the team from REGEN helped out with =) You can just go to the main page of REGEN website and click where you see the pink arrow to check out the videos.
Thankful to be working with the best =))) He also very kindly passed me some masks for me to use during my recovery stage!!! To ensure that my jaw line maintain a good V-shape ^.^ The masks are developed and manufactured by REGEN and i've tried them, the lifting pressure is indeed awesome.
One with the man who's gonna be working magic on my face =) So humble and easy-going and quite humorous hahaha. But what i am most grateful for is that he is very realistic! He told me exactly what can be done and what cannot be done to improve my facial features overall =)

I am sure we all read from forums and from all our review research about cases where their plastic surgeons promised them everything and did everything as according to what they want.

But the results as promised either weren't delivered or the results are too "fake" O.O

I've had friends who went to do and redo their noses and eyelid suregeries =X Some from Korea, some from Thailand. Usually revision of surgery cost more than initial surgery. But then really it's not about the cost lah.. It's about the recovery omg. I will never wanna suffer two or more times of the same recovery lolol. The thought it just unbearable.

So all i am saying is.. It's your face, it's your body, it's your health at risk so put your enhancement procedure in the hands of a team that really cares for you. A team who knows when to tell you "NO" and who delivers good results after they say YES. A team who serve from the heart. A professional team like the one from REGEN =) I am very very thankful i stick to my choice =)))

One with the girl power!!!
THANK YOU GIRLS!!! For taking care of me through and through =)))

After the consultation and blood tests i check into my guesthouse in Gangnum as well!!!

Another thing i love about REGEN and Big John's Place (my guesthouse)!!! They are both located in Gangnum where all the happening is and is easily accessible!

Arrived at Big John's Place Bed and Breakfast Guesthouse which was less than 10 minutes away from REGEN by foot ^.^ Picture from their Facebook page!

I love the Big John's Place is surrounded with restaurants, cafe, convenience store and there's a huge supermarket just nearby!!! Also love it that all the shopping and happening (cinema and KTV all!) is just right outside (5 mins walk)! So you don't hear the noisy crowd, but you are near them enough to join them if you want to! But when you're at Big John's Place, it's all peaceful and quaint =)))

They only have 6 rooms so if you have plans to visit Seoul, you have to book the rooms quick.

The 6 rooms can house a total of appx 16 people. Some are double room, some are family room, some are bed for let for single traveller =) And there are 3 bathrooms. So you don't have to wait for your turn haha. And yes, it is much more affordable than booking a hotel, of course!

Most importantly.. THE PLACE IS MAJOR CLEAN.

All thanks to the house master and missus, John and Sunyoung =))) They are really good hosts and they make breakfast for everyone everyday! T.T I miss their muffins and cupcakes already.

As you can see here.. My bedroom.. The second floor common area where John and Sunyoung prepared lotsa traveller's guide and interesting leaflet of the one-time classes or interesting things you could do and see during your stay in Seoul. There's also a computer there for everyone to use ^.^ And the last picture is me looking down from the balcony =) It's just so relaxing to be here.
I'd tell you FIVE THINGS i love (and i think you will too!) about Big John's Place!!!

1. SUPER GOOD LOCATION in Gangnam

2. FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL HOUSE MASTER AND MISSUS =)))))

3. House is kept clean and tidy

4. There's always food for everyone hahahah. Breakfast is served so nicely every morning =)))

5. FREE WIFI FOR ALL~!!!

Another thing i love.. THIS SWING =))))) It cheered me up or at least distract me so much during the first week of my recovery. Sometimes i just feel so cooped up in the bandage and with all the swelling.. I'd then go onto the swing and swing around a little and feel better =))
Pretty and simple style for the house! AND!!! Got maple leave!!! Hahaha. It will turn colour in autumn!!! Hopefully by then i get to go back again ^.^
来 act 一个阳光美少女 haha.
Clean and comfy dining area, free wifi, security system, comfy couch. No other reasons not to love Big John's Place haha.
Help yourself to the fridge haha but try to only take what's yours and what's for the house hahaha =X
I love sitting near the full length window panel and just enjoy the sunlight.. Also there's game console, boardgames and the guitar for everyone to enjoy.
Another beautiful angle in the house..
Got to my room! Before it the beds were joined for me and Josh ^.^ Simple, clean and tidy!
My own vanity table and cupboard!
View from second floor ^.^

Anyway i was just really happy everything turned out well on my first day! Went out around the guesthouse to snap some pictures for OOTD feature for my instagram.

All these pictures are not edited for my face cox i am gonna get a new face soon anyway hahah.

At a very unique teahouse. It's like 3 storeys high and everything they sell is so exquisite and pretty.
Got hungry and wanted to snap picture at another coffeehouse so we ordered this. It sucked. The balsamic vinegar for the salad got onto the french toast and it was just really gross. No thanks.
Smile~

Act shock.
BnW on colours~

So erm.. Who still say i don't need surgery for my jawline and zygoma? Hahaha.
I definitely want need.

After picture-taking i bug Josh to let me eat fried chicken!!! Actually there's so many things i wanna eat before i have to fast at 12am! But first on my list is Korean Fried Chicken cox they are the BEST!

At some underground shop at Gangnam where they only serve chicken and beer haha.
My Josh ^.^
JUICY CHUNKS OF CHICKENNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! Omg they are so good. EVEN THE FREAKING BREAST MEAT IS JUICY ONE!!!!!!! HOW!!! I ate like 5 pcs at least i think. There were 8.
ROAR!!!!! Also did some shopping and then went back to the guesthouse!!!
What a beautiful sight =)
And again..
With all the little lights and white bricks, this place is just too pretty!
Muahaha! It was only 11 ish pm so i told Josh i can still stuff in another meal before i fast for the surgery tomorrow! Actually i just need to fast 10 hours before surgery!!!
Went for the fried rice Mich brought us to the last time!!! ^.^ Cheap and good!
MY LAST GOOD FILLING MEAL!!!!! =DDD
Next morning, head for REGEN to have the surgeries done =))) I AM READY!!!!!
Last picture of my old face with Josh ah. Hahaha.
Changed into the surgery robe and get everything else ready before i go for another consultation with the doctor for him to do his markings and all. One thing i am REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF IS..
REGEN gave me a room with the best view of Gangnam!!! And i have all the privacy with my own TV, cupboard, an extra lazy couch for my guest to rest while caring for me and..
My own sink and view =) If you're recuperating in a room like this, i think you will feel better faster also haha.
My face damn stupid one. Always before surgery will have very good skin and somehow look quite chio, like want me to have second thoughts like this. Last year surgery also!!! Suddenly look more cute right before surgery =__=" Hahaha. Don't try to trick me!!!
My name in Korean. It's pronounced as Choo Choo like this.
Last of my square and manly jawline..
Uneven facial contour line and protruding zygoma..
Huge jawline + zygoma + deepset laughlines all in view haha fml. There, also, that's my big and small nostrils with obvious scarring from my alarplasty done in Thailand lol. I've learnt my lesson.
Another side.. From here you can see that my chin is a little.. Too inward cox after the nose job, my nose is more defined and sharp.. That changes how my chin looks overall on my face.

So since i will be having my jawline cut, in the same surgery opening, Dr Oh suggested i move my chin outward by just a tiny little bit!!! Maybe just half a mm or at most 1 mm and that can make all the difference!!! In pictures and in real life.

When Wendy first saw me after surgery, the first changes she noticed from my profile was my chin and she say it's nice haha! I didn't think there will be such a good difference!!!

Last picture of myself..
And with that.. I'm in surgery.. With the team i trust.

A lot of people say i don't need these surgeries..

Of course i don't need them. But i want them. I want them so much for so long they have long become a need for me. Is there a need to wear makeup and look better?

Nope.

Is there a need to buy that branded bag?

Nope.

But everyone is doing it.

So preach it elsewhere please, thank you =) I am happy with my choice and now that it's been a month after surgery.. I can't be happier with the results. My face is so small now and my chin looks so pretty V in pictures!!!!!!! And~ The laughlines are not obvious anymore~!!!

AND!!!!!!!!! BEST PART.

Goodbye zygoma forever. No more protruding zygoma from my 45 degree / side view.

Life is good, life is short. Live as you like~

Will blog next post of the surgery (sorry i say first.. There will be very disturbing pictures cox my lips were so swollen they were unbelievably scary-looking though they actually don't feel that bad) real soon. For now..

A BIG THANK YOU to REGEN MEDICAL for the wonderful experience..

And Big John's Place for hosting me at your guesthouse =)

Everyone just do whatever makes you happy so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. And if anybody choose to do anything that makes them happy, don't go hurt them.

If you have something mean to say, tell your own friends in a bitchy groupchat session, tell your friends over dinner when you see them, tell anyone but the person in subject. Becox i am pretty sure they didn't ask for your opinion =)

Unless you are close to them, i don't think you have any stand to say something mean and think you can get away with it by calling it your own opinion. Okay. There's a reason why it's call YOUR opinion.. You get to keep it unless someone asks for it ^.^


A video i put together to summarize everything for you in case you didn't bother to read everything else haha. Alright! I'd be back with more soon! ^.^
