Real Selfie

Chris’s Surgeries in ID Hospital Korea Real Review

Before the surgery

I’m Chris. I’m Belgian and working in Thailand. As a communications coach I’m used to being in front of a lot of people.

Whenever there was a camera around though, I often saw my confidence level drop because of my appearance. I felt that how I looked no longer matched the lively person that I am!  So, yes, I could keep on spending a lot on clothes and hoping the camera would catch me at a good angle or I could tackle the root problem.

As so many straight, Caucasian men do, I was wrestling with the thought” Isn’t surgery just for women? What will my friends, family, clients say?”

I can tell you that out of over well more than 200 replies and comments I’ve received; only ONE was negative, and it was from someone that was already born with handsomely good looks. Lots of people do a makeover surgery, and there is absolutely no need to hide it. People appreciate your honesty, so do what you believe in and tell the world about it. If surgery will increase your happiness in life, DO IT!

The surgeries I had are as follows:

• Upper eyelid surgery


• Nose tip surgery


• Jawline augmentation


• Chin correction


• Mini lift + fat removal

 

1 week after surgery

I was not allowed to wash my hair or shave for a few days for the stitches to heal. My face was still swollen and bruised from surgery but I didn’t feel any pain at all. It’s been less than a week and the creams, cold/hot packs help a lot to reduce the bruises.

 1 month after surgery

I’ve already returned home for over a week and the bruises are fully gone. It’s getting much easier to shave now as well. My jaw muscles are working overtime as there is some added weight (jaw and chin) that they’re not yet fully used to. I’ve stopped looking in the mirror every few hours and don’t consciously think about my jaw or chin anymore. The stitches have been removed a few weeks ago and all has healed perfectly. I can let my sideburns grow again.

 

2 months after surgery

I restarted my workouts 2 months post-surgery! It will take a few more months until the end result is visible but the shape is already looking great. I can move my jaw more easily too!

I’m very happy with the results and it hasn’t even been two months! The best results will show 3-6 months after surgery. The most important benefit besides looking younger: increased confidence.

I’m very excited about the results and they will even improve over the months to come. I especially liked this weekend when one of my new friends told me: “I remember that we met before months ago at an event, before but you looked much older than now!”. Worth it!

I’m really happy about the results and I know it’s still getting better each day. Best decision of my life! Thanks to everyone at ID Hospital!
