Many people are looking into thread lifting, right? I actually wandered around a lot before finally deciding on Apgujeong Miracle. It wasn't my initial choice; I ended up going there after consulting at over five different places. So, I did my fair share of comparisons. The order of my thoughts might be a bit jumbled, but the thing that stressed me out the most was the swelling. As a working professional, I really dislike it when it shows. I can’t take too many days off either. But after the procedure, my first thought was, "Huh? It’s not swollen at all?" I have a photo taken on the same day, and I could say it speaks for itself... I usually don’t swell much, but I expected some swelling from the thread lifting, and I was surprised at how much less there was than I anticipated. I just did some cold compresses and went back to work the day after next, and my daily life was hardly affected. When it comes to the results... I’ve never been that impressed with any procedure before. I usually think, “Well, that’s just how it is.” But this time, while looking in the mirror, I found myself saying, “Oh...?” Especially with the jawline and double chin, my overall facial contour felt so much cleaner. I was worried my cheekbones would look too prominent, but it seems they’ve been nicely balanced, which was surprising. When the doctor mentioned during the initial consultation that my cheekbones might appear smaller, I honestly had my doubts, but after the procedure, my reflection was so different it felt a bit awkward. There were several reasons I chose Apgujeong Miracle. One was that they specialize in lifting and have dealt with a ton of cases for a long time. I really wanted to go to a place with a lot of experience, especially since it involves inserting threads and there are concerns about stimulating the inner tissues. I thought a lot about that, so I focused on finding a doctor with extensive experience. I heard that Dr. Woo has appeared on Fox TV in the U.S. and has even taught techniques to doctors who work with Hollywood actors, which made me feel reassured that this place is credible for lifting. Plus, they only do non-incisional procedures, which seemed to lessen the risk of tissue damage. My biggest fear was that something would go wrong inside where I couldn’t see it. I can't skip the design aspect either. I was really worried that my cheekbones would look bigger. But during the consultation, the doctor analyzed my face and explained in detail how and where to pull to avoid making my cheekbones look larger. It felt like they were very thorough in their planning, which made me trust them. After the procedure, I didn’t feel like my cheekbones were more pronounced at all; rather, it felt like my face shape was nicely refined, which was a relief. The procedure itself went very smoothly. As I mentioned, there was hardly any swelling, and I could go back to my routine right away. Most importantly, seeing visible results was the biggest factor for me. For those who’ve done their homework and compared various thread lifting options, I think you’ll understand why I chose this place. After refining my face shape, I feel a boost in confidence and a rise in my self-esteem compared to before. I’m really grateful to Dr. Woo.
