I had contouring done a few years ago. Back then, it was fine, but at some point, every time I took a selfie, my face started looking chubby again… Especially my double chin became so noticeable that it was incredibly stressful. I thought I had gained weight, so I tried contouring injections and Botox several times, but they didn’t give me the results I was hoping for, which was a bit disappointing. I even looked into liposuction and tightening the muscles under my chin, but after reading reviews about side effects, I just didn’t have the courage to go that far. Then I turned my attention to thread lifting, and after hearing that the recovery was quick and less burdensome, I thought, “This might actually work for me,” so I went to Apgujeong Miracle Clinic. The reviews were good, and I saw Dr. Park Jong-hyun’s name mentioned a lot, so I chose that place. From the very beginning of the consultation, I felt a difference. Instead of just saying, “It’s fine, you can do it,” they really listened to my concerns about my facial structure and explained the direction and number of threads in detail. The way they described how to shape my jawline and cheeks made me feel at ease, thinking, “This person is really considering how to do this.” The procedure was done with 16 threads of Quill, and I was under sedation, so I don’t remember much of the process. It felt like I just lay down and then got up? Afterward, there was a slight pulling sensation and some swelling, but it wasn’t too severe, and I hardly had any bruising, which made me feel reassured when I looked in the mirror. By the next day, I was already able to go about my usual activities. A few days later, I really started to notice the difference in my jawline and cheeks. The double chin, which had been particularly bothersome, was the first thing I noticed improving. My cheeks seemed to lift slightly, and I felt my overall appearance became clearer. Every time I looked in the mirror, I thought, “I’m glad I went through with this,” and I felt a strong sense of satisfaction overall.
