This review features an actual patient of VIEW Plastic Surgery and is published with the patient’s consent.
Introduction
For years, I had several concerns about my facial appearance, including a lack of volume, a double chin, tired-looking under-eye areas, and facial contours that felt less defined than I wanted. Rather than undergoing major facial contouring surgery, I hoped to achieve noticeable yet natural-looking improvements through less invasive procedures.
After researching Korean plastic surgery options, I visited VIEW Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul for a consultation. What ultimately convinced me was the surgeon’s honest and highly detailed approach. Instead of recommending unnecessary procedures, he carefully explained which treatments would provide the most effective improvement for my concerns both now and in the future.
This review documents my experience with facial rejuvenation in Korea, including forehead fat grafting, thread lift, face liposuction, and under eye fat reposition surgery. If you’re considering plastic surgery in Korea and want natural results with minimal procedures, I hope my experience will be helpful.
Why Did I Choose VIEW Plastic Surgery in Korea?
I visited VIEW Plastic Surgery to receive a consultation regarding several facial concerns that had been bothering me for a long time.
One of the first things that impressed me was how efficient the entire process was. From consultation booking and registration to examinations and surgery scheduling, everything was handled through a convenient one-stop system. As someone with a busy work schedule, I really appreciated how much time this saved.
The hospital itself was much larger than I expected. Located in Gangnam, Seoul, it felt very organized and professional from the moment I arrived. While waiting for my consultation, I noticed quite a few international patients as well. Seeing patients from different countries made me realize why VIEW Plastic Surgery has become a popular destination for both Korean and overseas patients seeking plastic surgery in Korea.
The consultation with the surgeon was particularly impressive. He immediately identified the areas that were causing my concerns and clearly explained which procedures would help improve them. What surprised me most was that he didn’t simply recommend surgery for everything. Instead, he explained which treatments would provide the greatest improvement right now and even discussed what types of procedures might be beneficial many years later as I age. His honesty actually increased my trust.
Some of the procedures he recommended were things I had never even considered before, but the explanations made complete sense and helped me better understand the direction of my treatment plan.
After the consultation, I felt confident enough to schedule surgery right away. After all, you can’t trust your face to just anyone.
The surgeon’s honest advice, professionalism, and realistic approach were the main reasons I ultimately chose VIEW Plastic Surgery in Korea. I hoped that a relatively simple combination of procedures would create the maximum possible improvement, and I was excited to begin my journey.
How Was Recovery 3 Days After Facial Rejuvenation?
Last Wednesday, I underwent forehead fat grafting, thread lift, double chin liposuction, and under eye fat reposition surgery at VIEW Plastic Surgery.
When I arrived on the day of surgery, the hospital was already busy early in the morning. It reminded me again that this is a large-scale plastic surgery hospital with many patients.
Sometimes people assume that larger hospitals may not provide personalized care, but my experience was completely different. Everyone I met—from the front desk staff to the recovery room nurses and operating room team—was incredibly kind and supportive.
Right before surgery, I met the surgeon one final time. He carefully reviewed every detail and thoroughly explained the surgical design, including where the incisions would be placed. I remember hearing the operating room staff telling me that I would soon fall asleep. The next thing I knew, I had woken up in the recovery room and the entire surgery was finished.
Interestingly, I wasn’t very swollen immediately after surgery. Most of my swelling appeared gradually over the next day or two. I’ve been taking photos every day to track my recovery, and I can already see visible improvements as the swelling slowly decreases.
I’m looking forward to having my stitches removed and seeing more of the final results as the bruising and swelling continue to improve. Hopefully I’ll be able to enjoy this summer with a much more confident appearance.
What Changed During My First Week of Recovery?
My first week finally passed, and I returned to the hospital to have my stitches removed.
One concern I had during recovery was a slight unevenness around my temple area. Since I had specifically asked for a stronger lifting effect during my thread lift procedure, the surgeon explained that this was caused by the interaction between the thread lift and the newly grafted fat.
Naturally, I was worried at first and contacted the hospital several times during the week. Each time, the staff patiently explained what was happening and reassured me that it was part of the recovery process.
During my appointment, the surgeon carefully released part of the area by hand and even told me that I could come back before my one-month follow-up if I remained concerned.
That reassurance alone made me feel much more comfortable. The nurse who removed my stitches was also incredibly kind. She carefully explained what type of aftercare I should continue, how bruising and swelling would improve, and what to expect during the next few weeks.
She also mentioned that a significant amount of fat had been removed from my double chin area and that I could look forward to noticeable improvements.
That definitely made me happy. My next follow-up appointment was scheduled for one month later, but even at this stage, people around me were already telling me that my jawline looked much more defined—as if I had undergone facial contouring surgery.
Hearing those comments made me incredibly excited. The goal from the beginning was to achieve the maximum improvement with relatively minimal procedures, and it already felt like that goal was becoming a reality.
Could People Already Notice the Difference at 2 Weeks?
It’s hard to believe that two weeks had already passed since surgery. During this period, I noticed a small protruding area beneath my chin, so I visited the hospital again for an examination.
Just like during my consultation, the surgeon explained exactly why it had happened in a way that was easy to understand. He recommended radiofrequency treatment to help the area recover, so I received the treatment that day. The staff member who performed the procedure was both thorough and extremely kind.
By the two-week mark, most of my major swelling had already disappeared. The bruising had improved to the point where it could easily be covered with makeup. I was also finally allowed to wear contact lenses again, which made daily life much more comfortable.
Interestingly, people who didn’t know I had surgery started saying things like:
“You look prettier lately.”
“Your facial contours seem more refined.”
“Your face looks slimmer.”
Some people even asked if I had done something because they could tell that something had changed. That felt incredibly rewarding. One of my favorite changes has been my forehead fat grafting result.
More than the front view, I noticed a dramatic improvement in my side profile. Even though I didn’t undergo rhinoplasty, my profile looked cleaner and more balanced because my forehead now had better volume and projection.
The overall effect felt very natural. As the weeks passed, I felt more confident that I had achieved exactly what I wanted a noticeable improvement through minimal procedures. My satisfaction with the surgery continued to grow every day. I also want to thank all of the staff members who consistently treated me with kindness during every visit.
Now I’m just waiting for the remaining swelling to disappear.
Was One Month Enough to See Real Results?
It’s hard to believe that an entire month has already passed since surgery. Recently, I met a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time. The first thing she asked was what I had done because my face looked noticeably better. She even asked me to recommend the hospital.
That made me feel incredibly happy. Several people have commented that my face appears slimmer while simultaneously looking fuller and healthier. The biggest compliment I’ve received is about my forehead.
People keep asking what treatment I had done because they think it looks so natural and attractive. What’s interesting is that my overall appearance hasn’t dramatically changed. Instead, people tell me that I simply look more refined, polished, and refreshed.
That’s exactly the result I wanted. Looking back, I genuinely feel that I achieved maximum improvement with minimal surgery.
At my one-month follow-up appointment, the surgeon was pleased with my progress and told me that everything was healing very well. The fuller forehead has also completely transformed my side profile. Before surgery, I rarely took side-profile photos because I lacked confidence. Now, I actually enjoy taking them.
The firmness underneath my chin following face liposuction has also softened significantly over time. This experience has taught me that patience is truly one of the most important parts of recovery.
Whenever I had questions after surgery, the staff always responded kindly and professionally. Every visit felt comfortable and reassuring. Most importantly, I’d like to thank my surgeon for helping me achieve such noticeable improvements through a carefully planned combination of procedures rather than unnecessary surgery.

Which Procedure Made the Biggest Difference After 3 Months?
Hello everyone!
Three months have already passed since my surgery, and my recovery now feels completely finished. To be honest, I’ve become so used to my appearance that I often forget I even had surgery.
However, whenever I take photos or videos, I’m reminded of just how much my appearance has improved. Up until around the second month, I still had some concerns and was careful about things like drinking alcohol. Recovery was still on my mind.
Now, I’ve returned completely to my normal lifestyle and daily habits. One thing I’ve noticed is that friends I haven’t seen in a while often tell me that my face looks brighter and healthier. That made me realize just how effective my under eye fat reposition procedure has been.
During the first couple of months, my favorite result was definitely my double chin liposuction. These days, however, the under eye fat reposition surgery has become my favorite procedure. Before surgery, I relied heavily on concealer because the hollow and tired-looking under-eye area made me look exhausted even when I felt perfectly fine.
Now, my complexion looks much brighter even without makeup. I no longer feel the need to cover my under-eye area every day.
Thinking back, there were moments during the early recovery period when I regretted the procedure because of swelling and the temporary inconvenience of not being able to wear contact lenses. Today, I honestly recommend under eye fat reposition surgery to people around me. If you’re bothered by tired-looking eyes, this procedure can make a surprisingly big difference. I’d like to once again thank my surgeon and everyone at VIEW Plastic Surgery for helping me achieve these results.
Did My Results Continue Improving at 4 Months?
Four months have already passed, and my current appearance feels completely natural to me now. In fact, when I look at older photos, my pre-surgery face almost feels unfamiliar. The procedure that continues to impress me the most is under eye fat reposition.
Before surgery, I constantly looked tired without makeup. I used large amounts of concealer every day just to hide the hollow appearance beneath my eyes. Now, those concerns have improved dramatically.
People no longer ask me if I’m tired. Although I still feel slightly shy about showing my bare face, I think that’s something many women can relate to. Even with minimal makeup, I can see how much brighter my under-eye area looks.
My double chin liposuction results have also continued to improve. What’s especially interesting is that I’ve actually gained a little weight since surgery. Normally, any weight gain would immediately show in my face.
However, because my jawline remains well-defined, people don’t notice any difference. That alone has made me appreciate the surgery even more. The difference between before and after surgery has become obvious enough that I’ve started recommending these procedures to close friends.
Could I See a More Defined Jawline After 5 Months?
Five months have now passed since surgery. Pain and swelling disappeared long ago, and my current appearance feels completely natural.
One thing I’ve noticed is that the tissue beneath my chin, which initially felt firm after the liposuction procedure, has now softened considerably. Recently, I’ve lost a little weight, and I feel like the surgical results have become even more visible. Interestingly, I notice the improvements more in photos taken by other people than in my own selfies.
These days, I feel comfortable taking photos with the regular smartphone camera without relying on filters or special angles. Even though I never underwent facial contouring surgery, my facial lines appear significantly more defined.
For people who want noticeable jawline improvement but feel hesitant about facial contouring surgery, I would confidently recommend the combination of thread lift and face liposuction. I would also highly recommend under eye fat reposition surgery for anyone who wants to improve a tired-looking appearance.
Was Combining Thread Lift and Fat Grafting Worth It?
Six months have already passed. The pain and swelling disappeared a long time ago, and I’ve become so accustomed to my appearance that I often forget I had surgery. Until recently, there was still a slightly firm area beneath my chin.
I assumed time would eventually solve the problem, and thankfully, that turned out to be true. Over the past month, the remaining firmness has improved dramatically and now feels completely natural. When I take photos, the improvement from my under eye fat reposition procedure is especially noticeable.
People no longer tell me that I look tired. My thread lift results have also remained strong. Since multiple threads were used, the lifting effect has continued to provide excellent facial contour definition. As long as I maintain my weight, I genuinely feel like I can enjoy many of the visual benefits people associate with facial contouring surgery.
That makes me incredibly happy. If there’s one thing I’d strongly recommend to others, it would be combining thread lift and fat grafting. The two procedures complement each other extremely well and create a balanced, natural-looking result.
How Do I Feel About My Results 7 Months Later?
Hello everyone! It’s already been seven months since my surgery. Recently, I visited my surgeon again for a follow-up appointment.
Since I had been living comfortably without any significant concerns, I had almost forgotten about the surgery. However, I had a few questions and thought it would be a good opportunity to check my progress.
The surgeon warmly greeted me and asked how I had been doing. He carefully examined each surgical area and even asked if there were any discomforts or concerns before I had a chance to bring them up myself. That level of attention and care left a lasting impression on me.
At this point, I feel completely comfortable with my appearance. There is no pain, no swelling, and no recovery-related inconvenience. My under eye fat reposition results have brightened my overall appearance so much that I no longer need to use concealer. Friends who know about my surgery often tell me how natural and successful the results look.
Without hesitation, I can honestly say that this was one of the best investments I’ve made this year. The improvement in my jawline has also given me significantly more confidence whenever I take photos. Looking back on this entire journey, I’m incredibly grateful to my surgeon and everyone at VIEW Plastic Surgery in Korea for helping me achieve such natural facial rejuvenation results.
Thank you for giving me a version of myself that feels more confident, refreshed, and comfortable every day.
