Has it been a little over two months? I had orthognathic surgery and contouring done with Dr. Hwang Chang-heon at Ailumi around that time. I’ve been taking selfies again lately, and it suddenly came to mind, so I thought I’d share. Honestly, at first… I was like, "Why did I do this?" It was that level of doubt. Breathing was tough, and my face was all swollen, so I just lay there trying to hold onto my sanity. For about a week, I seriously thought, “Is this how people live?” I must have thought that a hundred times. But once that period passed, things got a bit better. Now, I can wear makeup and meet people without any problem at all. I’ve been taking selfies again, and it seems like the swelling has gone down quite a bit. My midface definitely feels slimmer. I can feel that my face is smaller compared to before. The hospital says that the swelling hasn’t even gone down halfway yet, but I’m comfortable with how I look now, and I hope it all settles down soon. I think my expression and eye shape have changed a bit too. There’s a softer vibe to my face now, and that’s what I’m most satisfied with. Every time I look in the mirror, I think, “Well, at least it was worth enduring this.” As for eating… I haven’t quite returned to my pre-surgery habit of devouring everything with enthusiasm, but I can eat without any issues—just being a bit more cautious. Looking back at the notes I made while researching on the internet about surgery, I realize that my current state is way more comfortable than I had imagined back then. It’s a world of comfort. The reason I decided to do it together is that my face was uneven, and I had a celebrity I wanted to resemble. I realized that just doing contouring wouldn’t be enough. So, I thought, “Since I’m lying down anyway, let’s do this properly all at once,” and went for both orthognathic surgery and contouring. During the consultation, I saved pictures of Karina and a celebrity I liked to show them—I said I liked that kind of look.
