Complete Facial Transformation: Rhinoplasty + V-Line + Eyes in One Trip

This review covers my experience getting multiple procedures done during a single two-week trip to Seoul. I had rhinoplasty, V-line jaw reduction, and double eyelid surgery all performed at Dress Plastic Surgery Seoul. This is a detailed account for anyone considering combining procedures.

My Background:
I am a 28-year-old Korean American woman from Los Angeles. Growing up, I always felt self-conscious about my flat nose bridge, wide jaw, and monolids. After saving for years, I decided to invest in myself and get everything done at once in Korea.

Why Combine Procedures:
1. One recovery period instead of multiple
2. Cost savings on travel and accommodation
3. Results that are harmoniously planned together
4. Taking one extended leave from work instead of several

Pre-Surgery Planning:
I started planning six months before my trip. I had video consultations with three different clinics before choosing Dress Plastic Surgery Seoul. What sold me was their comprehensive approach - they showed me 3D simulations of how my face would look with all procedures combined, ensuring the results would be balanced and natural.

Day-by-Day Surgery Schedule:
Day 1: Arrived in Seoul, checked into recovery accommodation
Day 2: Final consultations, pre-op tests, and measurements
Day 3: V-line jaw reduction surgery (2.5 hours under general anesthesia)
Day 4-6: Recovery from jaw surgery at the clinic facility
Day 7: Double eyelid surgery (1 hour under local anesthesia)
Day 8-10: Combined recovery
Day 11: Rhinoplasty with rib cartilage (3 hours under general anesthesia)
Day 12-14: Final recovery and follow-up appointments

The Procedures:

V-Line Jaw Reduction:
This was the most intensive procedure. They reduced the angles of my jaw and shaved down my chin to create a softer, more V-shaped face. The swelling was significant - I looked like a chipmunk for the first week. But by day 10, I could already see the improved shape emerging.

Double Eyelid Surgery:
After the jaw surgery swelling subsided somewhat, I had my eyes done. They created natural-looking creases that suited my face shape. This was the easiest recovery of the three procedures.

Rhinoplasty:
Using rib cartilage for a more permanent and natural result. They raised my bridge, refined my tip, and narrowed my nostrils. The surgeon was meticulous about creating a result that would complement my new jaw shape.

Recovery Experience:
Week 1: Hardest week. Liquid diet only due to jaw surgery. Face very swollen. Slept elevated. Took prescribed painkillers.
Week 2: Started eating soft foods. Eye stitches removed. Nose cast removed. Could see dramatic changes despite swelling.
Month 1: Back in LA working from home. Still some swelling but presentable with makeup.
Month 3: 80% of swelling gone. Friends started noticing I looked refreshed but couldnt pinpoint why.
Month 6 (now): Final results visible. My face is completely transformed but still looks like me - just a better, more balanced version.

Total Cost Breakdown:
Rhinoplasty with rib cartilage: 8000 USD
V-line jaw reduction: 7500 USD
Double eyelid surgery: 2500 USD
Recovery accommodation (14 nights): 1200 USD
Post-op care and medications: 500 USD
Flights from LA: 900 USD
Total: approximately 20600 USD

US equivalent would easily be 40000-60000 for these three procedures combined.

Tips for Combining Procedures:
1. Plan for at least 2 weeks in Korea, ideally 3
2. Have someone with you for the first week if possible
3. Book a recovery accommodation with kitchen access - you will need soft foods
4. Bring entertainment - you will have a lot of downtime
5. Follow ALL aftercare instructions religiously
6. Take before photos - you will forget what you looked like

Was It Worth It:
One thousand percent yes. The transformation has boosted my confidence immensely. I look in the mirror and finally see the face I always imagined I could have. The planning and recovery were intense, but having everything done at once was the right choice for me.

For anyone considering multiple procedures, Korea is absolutely the place to do it. The surgeons are experienced in planning comprehensive facial transformations, and the results speak for themselves.
