I've been curious about getting a thread lift and similar treatments, but I was a bit skeptical about lasers since they always seem to give just a fleeting effect. So, I decided to do some thorough research, browsing reviews and going for consultations everywhere, almost like a lifting nomad, until I finally ended up at Apgujeong Miracle. I had heard a lot about it over the years, and I was told that Dr. Woo is known for performing procedures with minimal swelling and side effects.
Honestly, my biggest concerns were about getting dimples and having my cheekbones look overly prominent. I found plenty of reviews discussing those issues, which made me worry a lot, but after going through with the procedure, I wondered if I had been overly anxious because I experienced none of that. I was really nervous that my cheekbones would look more pronounced, but instead, they seemed more refined. It felt like I was unnecessarily dramatizing things on my own!
I opted for the Crazy V-Lifting, and I didn't just get the lifting; I also had Botox for my square jaw. My jaw muscles are quite developed, so I thought just a lift wouldn't be enough, and I suggested doing both. This combination really suited me... It felt like the lifted areas, along with reduced muscle mass, made a bigger difference. Of course, this is just my personal impression.
The swelling lasted about two days, but it wasn’t overly noticeable—more like the kind of look where someone might ask, “Did you drink last night?” It was at that level, and I was able to go about my daily life without any issues. I went to work just like any other day. After a few days, people around me started saying things like, “What did you do? Your face looks more defined,” which made me feel secretly proud.
The time I spent searching and worrying at first wasn’t wasted because I could really sense Dr. Woo's delicate touch. Even though I was anxious and asked a lot of questions, he calmly explained everything, and he seemed genuinely attentive to my concerns about dimples and side effects.
Anyway, the excess skin was lifted with the Crazy V-Lifting, and with Botox for my jaw muscles, people said my appearance looks a bit different. It feels like I’ve done something, but I can’t quite say what, just that “you look really good these days.” Every time I hear those comments, I’m reminded that choosing Apgujeong Miracle was a great decision. For those with well-developed jaw muscles like mine, considering a combination of lifting and Botox might be worth thinking about!
