Cheekbone reduction or v-line? How to get a slimmer face?

[uppereastsidechick]

Thinking about to change the shape of my face. It’s too round and when I gain weight it becomes like a “full-moon”. I don’t like the look of a “fat girl” even though, I’m not. Is there anyone who was in similar situation and can suggest which surgery is better cheekbone reduction or v-line?

I think every case is individual. What is the shape of your bones? I got squared face and it was quite noticeable. My jaws were almost the same width with my cheekbone. I’m skinny but too wide cheeks made me look fat on photos. Before the operation I thought the problem was only in my lower face and wanted a v-line and make eyes bigger, but during the consultation Dr.Oh explained that in order to have a more proportional face lines I also need to reduce zygoma. He said by reducing the width of cheekbones, eyes automatically become bigger. My eyes are still same but they look much more impressive

Your face changed a lot! It’s not as same as mine, but cheekbone is almost similar. Maybe you are right and cheekbone reduction would be enough. I really like your results. Your face looks much slimmer than before. Thanks a lot for sharing. When did you proceed it? I see no swelling now and you also look so natural.

Thank you so much It actually was 5 years ago and my results are finalized now, that’s why you see no swelling. Actually, I wasn’t too swollen after the operation, I only got very dark edemas under eyes for while.

Do you remember how the rehab was like? Was it too painful or did you have a lot of discomfort? One girl told me that after V-line she got a felling of terrible pressure on her face, was it same for you?

I don’t actually remember my post-op period in details, sorry it was too long ago I just remember that I had to follow a special diet and that perhaps was the biggest problem. I can’t live without meat and fresh apples, but the entire month I couldn’t eat normal food and everything processed through blender and ate only porridge. Another most markable disability was a sleeping position. I always sleep on my belly or sides and hate to sleep on my back. For about a week after the surgery I slept in a half sitting position to get rid of swelling faster and the next 2 months tried to sleep only on my back. And I also remember me having troubles with washing my hair. My scalp is too oily and if I don’t wash my hair even 1 day it looks dirty. But after the surgery I couldn’t drop my head back or forward and my dirty hair have been torturing me the whole first week

The pain wasn’t terrible otherwise you remember it lol. I suppose it’s useless to ask about prices?

Back in 2013 I think prices were different but if you are seriously interested in more details leave them an inquiry

Yes, I firmly decided to proceed a v-line or cheekbone reduction but I think, I need to search a bit more information. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and pics, you look gorgeous!

I had a plastic surgery on my face, now I look completely different and have no regrets. It was about 2 years ago in beauty fix clinic. Professional, knowledgeable and 5 Star staff! Now I want to get rid of the black circles under my eyes.

Heard having surgery is the best choice if you do hate angular face. I'm kinda scared though lol

Hi Everyone,

I've been in several forum doing tones of research on different types of surgery. Like anyone else, going to different thread post for the surgery that I would plan to do in the next couples of months. I started my first research for double eyelid revision in the year 2011 because i failed them couples of times. One of the forum that feed me much information about plastic surgery in Korea is Soompi forum. Now I would like to contribute my shares of bit of surgeries result and my plastic surgery journey to this forum. It will be too long winded for me to write my full experience here for each clinic that i ever been to. I will briefly summarize the surgery that I had done and the place that i had visited. I had wrote down my satisfaction level of each of my surgeries.

Attached is my before and after surgery face photo. Do not hesitate to pm me any questions, I'll be most willing to share if that helps on your research.
