Double Chin Removed.
Hello everyone, I wanted to share my experience getting rid of my double chin, and hope it can be of help to others! As a birthday gift to myself, I am having my double chin removed. I have consulted with several clinics and have decided to go with BK Plastic Surgery Hospital located in Seoul Korea. I have decided on BK because I want a clinic that can help me during my stay in Korea, and also a hospital that is safe, clean, and experienced. BK also has some very nice before and after photos on their website, which makes me very hopeful for my results. So far BK has been very good at answering all my questions quickly and with lots of information. I can tell their staff and translators care a lot about their patients. As of now, I have an in-person consultation date scheduled for the 21st, and surgery afterward. I believe my consultation with the doctor will go smoothly on Monday the 21st and I will be able to have my surgery shortly afterward. I do like the shape and look of my face, however, I think my fatty neck and jaw distract from my other nice features. I would love to have a sharper jawline and no double chin. I know removing my double chin will make me feel more confident in my looks. It will help me feel younger and more cute. It is because of these reasons I have decided to move forward with my surgery. I am looking forward to my in-person consultation with Dr. Dr. Rhee Byung Jun. He will be performing liposuction of my double chin with Acculift. It is $1600 per area, and I think I will have both my double chin and jawline areas treated. I will consult a further Doctor and see if treating both areas will give me my desired look, and also to hear his recommendation! Currently, I am very excited! Luckily I am so excited that I am finally getting rid of my double chin that I’m only a little nervous for surgery!
After 7 Days
I arrived home in the USA late on the 28th of May and after my travels had to catch up on sleep. The time change and long international flight had me very tired. Most of my serious bruising had faded within the first week after surgery and now I mostly had swelling to resolve. My life was back to normal and day by day the stiffness in my jaw and neck was improving. I’ve been following the doctor’s instructions, and wear my compression garment at night when I sleep and when I am at home with free time. The compression garment helps. The photos are from the 29th of May, a week after my surgery.

It’s been a little over a month since my procedure. I think the day-to-day healing has slowed down a lot. Everyone at BK has been very helpful and they assure me that I just need to wait for my final results since the healing and tissue takes a long time to adjust. I can see some slight results now, but I hope with more time it will look very well!

finally Long Awaited Results! For a bit, I felt dismayed that I wouldn’t see very striking results. I think my face stayed swollen for a long time after surgery, and the overall swelling and healing were very gradual. By month four, post-op, I was able to see recognizable results. I have no pain, everything healed perfectly. The little scars in the corner of my mouth are still a tiny bit visible, but they are easy to cover. However, the scars near my jaw I can barely find sometimes. Overall I’m very happy with the results. I can tell a lot of the fat has been removed and the skin feels more youthful. It’s not a perfectly sharp jawline, but the results are noticeable and I think my look is hugely improved. I feel more confident now when I take photos. My double chin used to be something I was very worried about, but now I think my self-esteem has improved. Below are some photos I took showing my results. I took some with flash and some without, I was hoping the different lighting would help show my results. My jawline looks very nice, and removing my double chin has improved my profile view.
