My aunt had been thinking about cheekbone reduction surgery for a while because she felt her cheekbones made her face look wider than she wanted. She wasn’t aiming for a dramatic transformation—she mainly wanted a softer and more balanced facial shape.
She eventually decided to consult Dr. Im Young-min at Very Good Plastic Surgery. During the consultation, she felt that Dr. Im listened carefully to what she wanted and explained what could realistically be achieved with the surgery. She appreciated that the focus was on improving her overall facial balance rather than making a drastic change.
The surgery itself went well from her perspective. The first few days were definitely the hardest because of swelling and discomfort, and she had to stick to softer foods for a while. The swelling gradually decreased, so she tried not to judge the final result too quickly.
As her face healed, she started noticing that her cheekbone area looked less prominent and her facial outline appeared softer. What she liked most was that the change didn’t make her look like a completely different person.
Her recovery required some patience, but overall she was pleased with the result and happy with her decision to have the procedure with Dr. Im Young-min. For anyone considering cheekbone reduction, she would definitely recommend taking time during the consultation, discussing your desired outcome clearly, and having realistic expectations about recovery.
