I had a crazy V-lifting (thread lifting) procedure done, and the clinic is Apgujeong Miracle! To get straight to the point… when I looked in the mirror after the treatment, there was no swelling at all, which surprised me! I had a slight puffiness when I woke up, but it was just that—so I thought, “Huh? What’s going on?” My cheeks were lifted nicely, and the lines were clean, which really impressed me. I used to feel stressed about my sagging cheeks and uneven jawline. I knew I wouldn’t be able to consistently manage laser treatments because of my personality… So I decided to go for a sure thing with thread lifting instead of multiple laser sessions! I heard that Apgujeong Miracle pays a lot of attention to not accentuating the cheekbones, which caught my interest since I have slightly prominent cheekbones. During the consultation, the staff was really friendly. It didn’t feel generic, like “Everyone does this,” but rather tailored to my face shape and concerns. I mentioned my cheekbones and sagging cheeks, and the doctor assured me that lifting those areas would be effective, which put my mind at ease. I even said, “Please lift it quite a bit; I really dislike sagging skin.” They explained that while there might be a slight pulling sensation at first, it’s worth it for lasting results, and they adjusted accordingly. The procedure was done under local anesthesia, and I could hear everything around me, which made me think it would be scarier, but it wasn’t as bad as I expected. The doctor chatted with me during the process, which helped me relax, and there were even dolls to distract me! I was pretty calm since it wasn’t an invasive surgery, so I didn’t feel the usual surgical anxiety. What was fun afterward was when friends saw my face and asked, “Did you get facial contouring? Did you get bone surgery?” But honestly, I didn’t touch my bones at all; the only thing I did was the crazy V-lifting at Apgujeong Miracle! With the area below my cheekbones filled in, my cheekbones actually look less prominent, and my jawline has a nice V-shape, which might give the impression that I had some bone work done. Overall, I felt that the clinic provided thorough care, which I appreciated the most. From the procedure to the explanations, they really considered the patient’s perspective.
