My Facial Contouring and Rhinoplasty Before and After in Korea

The Plan I Worked Toward

I had been thinking about facial-contouring surgery at Made Young since the previous summer. Once I made the decision, I worked part-time and saved carefully until I was finally ready to return to the clinic.

My procedures included cheekbone reduction, oblique-osteotomy square-jaw reduction, rhinoplasty, and fat grafting. I wanted my facial shape, nose, and volume to feel more balanced when viewed together.

Why I Chose to Combine the Procedures

I had visited other clinics after deciding to have surgery, but I felt most comfortable with the level of detail in my Made Young consultation. Since several areas could influence the overall impression of my face, I preferred having them assessed as part of one plan.

Why I Returned to Made Young

The careful explanations and individualized planning were the main reasons I returned. Made Young’s official materials describe facial-contouring plans based on the patient’s bone structure, soft tissue, and overall proportions. Its rhinoplasty information also emphasizes planning the different parts of the nose in relation to the face.

I also liked knowing that the clinic had a separate aftercare center. Because I was having facial contouring and rhinoplasty together, continued postoperative support was an important part of my decision.

Preparing for Surgery and the First Week

Before surgery, I completed an electrocardiogram, X-ray, and blood test. I am normally nervous about needles and medical procedures, but the staff checked on me closely and helped me feel supported through the process.

After surgery, I stayed at the clinic for one night. Because I had undergone rhinoplasty and facial contouring together, breathing felt inconvenient during the early stage. The most difficult part for me was being unable to eat the foods I wanted.

The Day 1, Day 6, and Day 8 photographs show how much my appearance changed within the first week. Swelling was still present and did not disappear all at once, but I began noticing it settle more clearly after the initial days.

From Two Weeks to One Month

I continued visiting the clinic for swelling care and follow-up appointments. The two-week photographs still show an active recovery stage, while the three-week images document the next step in that gradual process.

By four weeks, I felt that much of the more noticeable swelling had settled. At the one-month point, my appearance looked natural enough that people around me often said I looked prettier but could not immediately identify what had changed.

That subtle response made me especially happy. I had changed several areas, but I did not want any one feature to look disconnected from the rest of my face.

What I Could See at One Month

The one-month photographs and later selfies helped me appreciate the overall direction of the result. I felt that my facial outline looked more refined and that the changes to my cheekbones, jaw, nose, and facial volume worked together rather than competing for attention.

How I Feel Looking Back

Saving for the procedures and waiting for the right time required patience, so reaching the one-month stage felt especially meaningful. I was happiest when people noticed that I looked better but could not immediately tell what had changed. That natural overall impression was exactly what I had hoped for.

Based on my personal experience, I would recommend Made Young to someone considering facial-contouring surgery. The detailed consultation helped me feel that my different features were being considered together, while the regular follow-up care made me feel supported after surgery. I also appreciated how kindly and attentively the staff treated me throughout the process. For me, Made Young offered the combination I was looking for: thoughtful planning, careful aftercare, and a result that felt balanced rather than overdone.
