Sorry for taking so long to blog about my plastic surgery experience. I'm going through a crisis right now. My laptop is down and all my photos are inside. I really regret not back up my photos :( These are best photos i can share with you now. Hopefully my laptop can be fix. I just came back from a havoc holiday. Hong Kong was fun! Party 6 days in a row, lots of eating and shopping. I couldn't work properly for the past few days because my body was way too tired.
Anyway, I've had mentioned in my previous post that i will do a post surgery in this blog post but to avoid confusion, I decided to blog about my post surgery in the next post.
In this post i am going to share with you about my day to day recovery. My surgery was scheduled in the afternoon. I'm glad that they managed to slot me in as i'm only staying for 2 weeks in seoul and they are fully booked. I guess it is the winter season, i was told that the cold weather helps to boost your recovery. There were many locals and tourists(people from China, Singapore, and Canadian etc) at
JW Plastic surgery koreaclinic.
I've had mentioned about the procedure i am going to do in details in my
previous post.
These are probably the ugliest photos I've ever posted.
Without all the make up and thick lashes, i desperately need some enchantment.
After bombarded my doctors with questions during consultation and much consideration, long story cut short, I am going to have Incisional(cut method) double eyelid + Potsis correction surgery (by Dr. Hong Lim Choi), tip and bridge rhinoplasty (by Dr. Man Koon Suh), Full face fat graft (by Dr. Chul Hwan Seul).
Not to bored you with words. Let the photos do the talking.
(Photo taken on post surgery day 7).
This is Emily who is the only consultant that specks English. She is very patience, professional and very strict with us on the aftercare. She also take care of us during our stay in korea. She will message me just to check if i am fine. She even offered to send me home after my surgery. How sweet!
EYES
Resting in recovery room after eyelid surgery.
I have to say that eyelid surgery is quite scary because i am under local anesthesia( i am awake during the surgery). Many of you have been asking me if double eyelid surgery is painful. Depends on individual. For me it is painless process, i felt discomfort when Dr Choi is doing the stitching. I won't lie about the pain as i don't seem the need to.
FATS GRAFTING & NOSE JOB
ZERO PAIN!
I don't know about other patient, both procedure is painless to me. I suppose i had lots numbing injection before the operation start. I felt normal after i woke up from general anesthesia.
I can literary eat and go shopping after my nose job.
See the transformation(left to right):
After eyelid surgery, after full face fats grafting and after nose job.
Some picture of the food i had after surgery. I was so hungry! I had to fast the day before.
Dessert after meal is a must!
My medicine and pumpkin juices(there were more, i consumed some already) from JW Plastic Surgery Korea.
POST OPT DAY 1
POST OPT DAY 2
Tried, ugly, sad.
It was really depressing to see myself like that. I had cottons in both of my nostrils, i couldn't taste any food or drink that i consumed. It feels like i was having a bad block nose. I felt tired and ugly because of the swell on my face. Carry a tissue box everywhere i go because there were lots of mucus.
To avoid infection, cleansing is VERY important. I clean my wound day and night with cleansing water from the clinic. Then gently dry it with cotton bud. Last, apply gel(from the clinic) which helps to close the wound properly.
Agri and i went hunting for food around our hotel. Literary eat from point A to point B.
We ate so much everyday!
POST OPT DAY 3
I feel horrible because i couldn't eat and breathe properly still. I just want to rest in bed.
I could feel my face swelling.
POST OPT DAY 4
Remove cottons & eyelid stitches x Hair wash
I had my eyelid surgery the day before i did fats grafting and nose job. So my eyelids are already on it's post opt day 5. The nurse is very gentle. She goes slow and careful. To my surprise, eyelids were painless. I believe it is Dr Hong Lim Choi's skill. Stitches are very small and easy to remove said by the nurse from JW plastic surgery korea.
I also had the cottons removed so i can breathe from nose and eat properly!
To my surprise, the swell went down so much on day 4. The bruises around my eyes and face turns yellow. I feel slightly better than day 3.
After days of no wash my hair, i finally getting a nice hair wash. JW Plastic Surgery Korea provides 2 free hair wash service to all patient! How awesome!
Then, we had lunch at GANGNAM-GU.
Waffles at Edea again!
Visited dog cafe in Myeongdong which cost only SGD 8 per entry with 1 free drink.
Brunch at MyeongDong at 1am. We couldn't stop eating!
POST OPT DAY 5
