IDHOSPITAL

Cha Haeng-Won, 45 years old and came to ID Hospital to have some anti-aging procedures.

ID Hospital: Please tell us more about yourself.
Cha Haeng-Won: My name is Cha Haeng-Won and I am 45 years old. I always dreamed of being a ballerina and took classes since I was a child, so my body is fit but the years have taken a toll on my face and I wanted a change. I wanted to rejuvenate my face so I decided to have anti-aging procedures at ID Hospital.

ID Hospital: Before surgery, how did you take care of your skin? What was your beauty regimen?
Cha Haeng-Won: I was very diligent with my daily skin care regimen. I always used sun screen, took makeup off properly and used products to take care of my skin. I also used eye-cream every night. But aging is a natural process, so I needed surgery to improve my wrinkles and look younger.

ID Hospital: Why did you decide to have surgery?
Cha Haeng-Won: Like I said, through dancing I have kept my body fit, but even though I took good care of my skin, I started to look old, so I wanted to look young again. I wanted to rejuvenate my face and just feel more confident with myself again.

ID Hospital: Which surgeries did you have?
Cha Haeng-Won: When I was younger, I had really full round cheeks and as I got older, my cheek area has lost its volume and started sagging. The doctor told me that I should have a temple lift instead of a mini face lift, as the cheek sagging had to be addressed. I also had full face fat graft to restore volume to my face and under eye fat repositioning to take care of the eye wrinkles.

ID Hospital: How was the healing process?
Cha Haeng-Won: I took some time to heal due to my age, but the process was not as bad as I imagined. Now that all the swelling is gone and I have fully healed, I love the way I look!

ID Hospital: Do you feel more confident?
Cha Haeng-Won: Of course! Even though surgery is very popular in Korea, I did not really want to undergo a complete transformation to look like someone else, I just wanted to rejuvenate my face and look a few years younger. I was always confident, and I just needed a little boost to elevate my appearance which changed due to aging.

ID Hospital: Do you have any messages for women who want to undergo anti-aging surgeries?
Cha Haeng-Won: Having surgery is not a taboo anymore and everyone is free to have surgery if it will make them more confident about themselves. I know that for myself, I needed the surgery and I am glad I got it. Not only has it made me feel confident and beautiful, but it has motivated me to kick start other projects that were pending and make some changes in my life. I look and feel 10 years younger.
