LIFE Plastic Surgery: Hair Line Hair Transplantation - Minjung's Surgery Diary

 
 
 

Hairline Hair Transplantation

create smaller and prettier face.

 
 
Who am I?
Name: Minjung Lee
Age: Born in 1987
Surgery Date: 2012. 11. 27
Desired Surgery: Problem area is large forehead
Surgery Information: Hairline Hair Transplantation

Hair Line Transplantation? Do you have Balding spot? Hey guys, my concern is not a balding spot!

Because I originally have wide forehead, I have never put my hair back.
I decided that I want to do hair transplantation. When I say I will be doing hairline surgery, 100% of dialogue goes on like this.
Me: “I will be getting hair line transplantation surgery.”
Friend: “Do you have balding spot? How bad is it? Let me see.”
Me: “I don’t have balding spot! It is just a hair line transplantation.”
Friend: “Why would you get that kind of surgery when you can just get a bang?”
 
For most people, this kind of is not much big of a deal.
 
But for me, if the wind blows, I am worried that my forehead might be exposed. If it’s hot out, I worried that my bangs get wet. If I go swimming, I don’t know what to do with my bangs. It seems like not much of a big deal. But people that have complex regarding wide forehead, it is a big issue.
 
Many don’t understand my deep concerns or worries.
 

Expectation, I am going to meet new hairline!

As usual, I came into the clinic with bangs covering my forehead. Today, my friend followed me to make sure I will be okay. After coming into the clinic and while preparing for the surgery, the PD interviewed me.
 
 
“How did you decide to get this surgery?” “How do you feel?”
I am not so used to being interviewed and kept saying I am sorry. Then the PD kept saying that is okay. Everybody is a little shy. Hopefully, if I can get a chance next time, I can do a better job of being interviewed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Expecting brand new hairline! It is now happening!

1 day after the surgery: Simple shampoo really impresses me!

I heard some people sleep really well right after the surgery. But I was so concerned about transplanting and transplanted area that, even though I had no pain, I kept waking up due to sleeping position. Even after waking up, I feel more tired than being well-rested-_-;;
Today, I wore hood jacket not only because it is cold, but also because I want hide the hair that I wasn’t able to wash. I went straight to the hospital, then got my hair sanitized and shampood. The nurse hair washing skill is as good as gangnam beauty salon hair specialists. I was cracking some joke asking her how to shampoo to feel this good. Can shampooing feel this good?
 
 
 

10 days after the surgery: Going back to the hospital for stitch out

 
 
Today I got back to the hospital for stitch out. The doctor had a look at my result, and said I am all healed well. So, I should be able to take out my stitches. The redness on the transplanted area is almost gone but the feeling on my scalp will take a while for it to come back. Also, by next week, the transplanted hair fair will fall off. My forehead hair will be gone, but the new hair will grow back. I cannot wait for that day^^.

3 Weeks after the surgery: Transplanted hair started falling off^^



Little by little transplanted hair’s scab started falling off. The disadvantage is that as the scab is falling off, my forehead looks a bit messy. But because this is the first step after the surgery, all this process is really interesting to me.
 
As I heard last time, when I wash my hair, the transplanted hair is falling off little by little. Now new hair is not growing just not yet, but I know this is just a sign of healing, just like scabs^^
 
 
 
 

3 months after the surgery: New soft hair is coming out~

3 months since the hair transplantation surgery, all the transplanted hair all fell off and by last week. Now along my forehead line, smooth new hairs are growing.^^
 
I was a little concerned up to 1 month after the surgery because I couldn’t feel my scalp fully. But when I talked to doctor about this, he said it will go away after a while. 2 weeks after going to the clinic, my sense on the scalp seem to have come back.
 
Many people after the hair transplantation are concerned about transplanted follicle falling off all together. Luckily for me, I already knew preventive methods so I had no fall out.

4 months after the surgery: Hey guys, are you sure my hair looks natural?

My bangs grew out much more than I expected. Now that my bangs are grown out, my forehead definitely looks smaller, and makes my whole face much smaller.
 
Last week, I even went to sauna with my friend. They completely messed up my hair with the excuse to see how natural my hair transplantation looks. Before the surgery, I was very easily irritated just by them lifting my forehead. But now, I can ask “Are you sure my forehead looks natural?” with confidence.
 
All my friends say I look natural. One of my friend is an experienced hair-dresser, and even she says she wouldn’t have noticed my hair transplantation.
 
 
 

Just my changing hairline, my image changed completely!

 

 
I went to the East coast for my best friend’s wedding. On the way back, my friend suggested stopping by the ocean, so we did.
 
Before the surgery, I didn’t like coming to the ocean, because my hair went crazy because of the wind. I would not get out of the car and watch my friends have fun. But this time, I was forced to get out of the car-_-;
 
 While I was taking a selfie by the side, I realized that now my forehead looks natural, so I do not have to worry about covering my forehead. Yoohoo.
After uploading my pictures on facebook, my friends kept pressing like button and commented that they are envious of me. As a woman, I think it is always good to here that I look pretty. My face looks small and I feel pretty so whenever I look at the picture, I feel good~!^^
Now that biggest complex of my life is gone, my life feels so different and new.
 
Thank you, Dr. Se whan Rhee for making small and pretty hair line. Hopefully, next time, I can visit the clinic with small presents^^

LIFE Plastic Surgery: Yoon Sook's Anti-aging Life changing experience



Whether you are old or    young,
you always want to be beautiful!

Who am I?

Name: Yoon Sook Kim

Surgical Area: Saggy facial skin, deepening nasolabial fold, eye wrinkles, sunken face

Surgical Information: MACS(Minimum Incision Face Lift), Paranasal Augmentation(Aristocrat Sugery), Fat Injection, Botox

 
 
 
 
 
I want to be beautiful again.

When I was younger, I used to hear that I am pretty very often. Wherever I go I used to hear my skin looks elastic and I look young.

Then, WHY do I feel old all of a sudden?

The wrinkles got deeper, and I feel as though my skin on my face is getting droopier. Then all the attention towards me has been less and less.

I have spend large sum of money to buy cosmetics that are said to be good for wrinkles, but those weren’t very effective. And even if I get massage, it only lasts temporarily.

While I had no interest in plastic surgery what so ever, I suddenly visited a famous plastic surgery clinic and have gone around to ask for my friends’ opinion. Then I chose Life Plastic surgery.

I also told about getting surgery to my daughter, and she gave me a lot of moral support.

Now that I have my family’s support, I want to be beautiful again!

 

Doctor, please bring back my youthful look.

Because I am so old, I feel embarrassed to be sitting here at the waiting room.

But the nurse came sat beside me to explain to me what the process is going to be like thoroughly.

Dr. SeHwan Rhee especially, really carefully examined my face and explained to me kindly, so I really want to thank him.

From my skin condition to texture, he really examined one by one carefully. He said, “I should do this and that.” I am very shy so I was worried that I might not be able to ask every question I want. But he created such comfortable atmosphere so I felt like I had a great chat afterwards.

First my saggy skin is going to be lifted, sunken area here and there around my face will be filled with fat grafted little by little naturally. Also, my deep nasolabial fold will be corrected thorough aristocrat surgery.

Also, the doctor said, wrinkles around eye and glabella will be fixed with botox..

I don’t have much knowledge about plastic surgery. Therefore, I am a bit concerned if I would be able to go through all this procedures at once. But I believe and hope that my face will be a lot better than now.

 
Restart of my youth! I believe I can be more beautiful than my 20~30s!

3 days after the surgery: I feel very unused to this kind of appearance now, but I feel good.

I look like an alien because of swelling.

But now I that I look at my swollen face, I realize, more and more that I really did get the surgery. I believe this is all a part of the process and is very natural.

Because of the swelling, I can hardly open my eyes. I got some lifting surgery, and wrapped up my whole face, so all my family member get a good laugh out of me whenever they visit.

I remember doctor telling me one week after the surgery is the hardest time. I will be doing my best to bear this situation and patient wait for my face to heal.

7 days after the surgery: How is it possible that I feel much younger already!

One good thing about being old is that you are not as embarrassed.

Because of the compression bandage, everyone tell me to stay at home. But I feel a bit stuffy just being at home, so I go out and about here and there to meet my friends. As long as I have my hat, I am not shamed. I go out and about proudly.

The swelling has gone down dramatically. There is continuing pain by the ear incision area but it is bearable. As the weather got warmer, it is itchier and I feel more stuffy and uncomfortable, but I will do my best to bear with this period of discomfort.

2 weeks after the surgery: All my friends say they want to do it too.

 
Just by lifting saggy wrinkles and injecting fat to where there needs to be volume, my face got much smaller. Before, I used to think my face is big. But now that I look at it, that was not it. I think it was all wrinkles. Now all my friends say they want to do it too.

So I brought handful of business cards and brochures from the clinic to give away to my friends. As if I am promoting the hospital as an employee. That’s how much I am satisfied with the result.
 
 

1 month after the surgery: I laugh more often than before.

Now people tell me, unlike before, I look very like a modern city woman. So the way I dress is different and everyone tell me whatever I wear, I look more elegant. I feel good about this.

I thought after getting old, I would never be able to hear people say I am pretty. But now, I am hearing that I look pretty. My family members are also supportive and happy about the surgery result so I am very cheerful and happy. Before, there used to me many things that has been stressing my mind, but now, I hardly have things that stress my mind or makes me frown my face. Perhaps it is because I look more lively and young. Now I feel as though I can do anything with joy, and I laugh a lot more.

Brand new me! Brand new life!

Wherever I go after the surgery, nobody looks at me as my real age. Most take me younger than my actual age by 10 years. So, I am happy to go out and meet people.
Before the surgery, I was depressed because of my appearance, and didn’t want to go out of the house and didn’t want to do anything.

After hearing so many reviews about how much prettier I got, I exercise more, meet more people and laugh more.

LIFE Plastic Surgery: Latin Hip Up - Bora's Experience

 


Bagel Girl Bora’s

Sexy Hips Project!
Name: Bora Im
Age: Born in 1986
Surgery Date: 2013. 03. 11
Surgery Area: I am sick and tired of flat butt
Surgery Information: Latin Hip-up

 

 

I also have body complex of my own
I finally did it.


My friends say I am tall and thin and have nice body, and call me a bagel girl aka a baby face with glamour. Well.. I am not complaining about that.

But, one of my biggest body complex is my body line from the side. Whether I wear skirt or pants, I look like I have no butt what so ever, From the back to hips to leg, it has no volume, and my friends are not that crazy about my butt. The truth is because I do not have good butt, I don’t look that good.
So after years of consideration, I decided to get hip up surgery and made a reservation.
“Why would you even get a surgery on your hips?”, my friend would ask. But I work as a model, so it is kind of a big deal for me to look good in any kind of clothes.
Often times the even the celebrities like Taehee Kim and Jihyun Jeon have body-double for commercials for those who have nice leg or nice butt.
One thing I realized while getting consultation from multiple clinics is that there are actually quite many people with same kind of concerns. The doctor said I am not the only one with this kind of issues. Thank God, I don’t feel alone is this big journey to get surgery. I am hoping for the best result of my brand new hips!
 
Starting from today, I am the lady with sexy butt~!
Today is the day of surgery. For hip up surgery, they say I need to be hospitalized for two days. Therefore, I packed my bad last night and have been fasting since last night. I am so freaking hungry and tired. After the final consultation with the doctor, I will be going into the surgery room.
I hope it is not painful, and I hope I can recover fast. Crossing my finger!
After the surgery when I was waking up from the anesthesia, I was so freaking cold! If I would have known I am gonna be so cold, I would have brought my comfy socks.. geez! Is it just me? I hope I am not alone on this boat. I feel like my butt is extremely thick and a bit sore. But what is worse than the after pain, is that I have to remain lying on my stomach. So my lower back is killing right now. Also, I have to have urine tube and blood pack with me by my side. Therefore, it is quite in convenient. My excited and hopeful mind set is all gone, and now I am thinking, why did I decide to get this surgery? As I said, I need to be hospitalized for 2 days for hip up surgery. The nurses are very caring and do their best to make me feel like home. But still.. I would rather be at my home.

 
 2 Days after the surgery:
The fact, only I didn’t know: You are very used to surgery. So you are recovering very fast.^^
Now, I am finally going to my home sweet home where my puppies are waiting. 2 nights and 3 days, it is a short time when you think about your daily life, but now that I just got back after the surgery, it feels like forever. In the morning, the nurse came in to take out urine tube and linger. Now my body feels so much lighter.
I wish she took out my blood pack…but I guess I will have to bear with it a bit longer.
Once the nurse went out I got up and started walking. Holy, I walk pretty good!
Usually, those who get hip surgery have to practice walking and limp a little but I don’t have none of that. Who would have known that I am very good with surgery and the recovery?
 
 7 Days after the surgery: Blood Sack Removal
Soreness and pain that bothered me when I wake up and fall asleep has almost faded. Walking is so much more comfortable. But, my butt is really tied up tightly, so when I get up in the morning, it is swollen very much. Today is the first day back to the clinic after being hospitalized. They say depending on my condition, I would be able to get rid of my blood pack today, and I did. Yes!

The doctor said of all the people that got this surgery, I am the fastest to take it out. I guess my body is good at recovering from the surgery. The feeling I got from taking the blood pack is not painful, but rather a bit messy and dirty or unpleasant I must say.
How can I say… stitching up where there was blood back is painful. What did they tell me in advance?!:(
Next week, I will have to come in for stitch out. I can’t wait!

 
14 days after the surgery: Stitch out
Today is the day of stitch out.

Gradually but finally, it is time to say goodbye to this bothersome compression bandage. From today, doctor told me it is okay to sit down.
 
But still, it is uncomfortable for me to sit down for a long time after the surgery. They took out the stitch about half way.

Now that I don’t have compression bandage with me I feel so free. I want to take rest of the stitch out asap so that I can take sure in nice and hot water!!! Ah~~~I feel so dirty haha.



1 month after the surgery



It has been exactly one month since I the surgery. When I think about it, for surgeries, once you undergo the pain, it is a matter of bearing the pain and discomfort. Now the discomfort after sitting has gone away quite a bit. There is still feeling that there is something foreign stuff in my butt a little bit.
 
If I think about how I wasn’t even able to sit down after the surgery, I would say this is much more comfortable. I feel like the swelling on both sides of my butt cheeks are going down unevenly, but I am not too concerned about it.

Time will heal everything, and now is the time to wait.

At the clinic, they told me one month after the surgery I should be able to sleep on my back. But I am so used to sleeping on the side, and it is more comfortable for me anyways.
 
 2 months after the surgery
 
It’s been 2 months after the surgery. Time flies!

Now when I try to walk or run, or even lie down, I have no problem what-so-ever. I can say it feels the same as before the surgery.
But, sitting on a hard chair without a cushion is still a little bit uncomfortable. But it is much better than before. Hopefully, as time goes by, it gets more and more comfortable. Uneven swelling on both cheeks is even now. They seem to be in perfect proportion. Thank God.
The main reason why I wanted to get hip-up surgery, which was to look good in any kind of clothes, especially in jeans and skirts is satisfied. Now I feel like my hips look natural. The implant is a bit still firm but much better than before. Let’s wait a little more!! No pain, no gain^^

 
Lovely~~~ at every 360 degree angle, I feel satisfied about my body!
 
Whenever I work ( I am a model), I feel as though there are freedom in what I can do. As a model, I feel the happiest when I am in front of a camera being photographed.

Before, I wasn’t so confident about my side and back side picture taken, and posed straight on the front. But wherever I pose, I feel more confident. So now, I am super duper happy about it~~~^^

Whenever I wear new clothes it looks good on me. I cannot smiling~^0^
Perfect volume.. If before hip up surgery, my upper body and lower body is unmatchy, now I have perfect S-line I have always wanted~!^^Yoo-hoo~
