A while ago, my cousin started talking about how her face looked different in photos than it did a few years earlier. She wasn’t unhappy with her appearance, but she felt her lower face had lost some definition and her skin seemed less firm than before.
After researching clinics in Seoul, she booked a consultation at Soon Plus Plastic Surgery with Dr. Jong Min Lim.
Interestingly, she didn’t go there expecting surgery right away. Her original plan was simply to learn about anti-aging options. During the consultation, Dr. Lim explained how a small chin augmentation combined with a thread lift could improve facial balance and create a subtle lifting effect at the same time.
What convinced her was that the proposed changes were quite conservative. The goal wasn’t to make her look younger overnight but to restore some of the structure and definition that had gradually faded.
The first week after treatment came with the usual swelling and tightness, which she had prepared herself for. She spent most of that time wondering whether the final result would actually be noticeable.
A few weeks later, the answer became clear.
The difference wasn’t dramatic, yet her entire face appeared more balanced. Her chin projected slightly better, and the lifted contours around her cheeks and jawline made her look fresher overall. Even her profile photos looked noticeably different.
The funny part is that nobody asked if she had cosmetic work done. Instead, people kept asking if she had changed her hairstyle, started a new skincare routine, or gotten more sleep.
Now, several months later, she says the best part isn’t the physical change itself. It’s the confidence she feels when she sees herself in photos or video calls.
Looking back, she feels choosing Soon Plus Plastic Surgery and Dr. Jong Min Lim was the right decision for her. The results were subtle, natural-looking, and exactly what she had hoped for—an improvement that enhanced her features without changing who she is.
