When I arrived at Braun, I was fascinated by their tall building, and the atmosphere there was so great: clean, tidy, and comfortable! Esther was my client manager and she was so helpful. I filled out the forms related to my medical history, took photos before the surgery, and got a CT scan of my face and also a blood test! Imagine doing this in America, every single step is going to cost you lots of money! After that, me and Esther went to the studio to do some photoshoots of my pre-operation photos and take some food. It was definitely one of the most extraordinary experiences in my life!
We went back to Braun and had a consultation with the doctor. I met Dr. Lee Ji Won, who specialized in doing lifting procedures. Although he spoke in Korean, Esther did a perfect translation for me and let me know clearly about every part of the surgery procedure. Dr. Lee accurately addressed my every concern and answered my questions professionally. I also met Dr. Kim for Blepharoplasty. Dr. Kim was so confident about the surgery and told me nothing to worry about. And then I knew why Braun was so famous worldwide – because of their experienced doctors and satisfying services.
On the surgery day, I followed the pre-surgery instructions provided by Braun and fasted for quite a long time. The doctor came and had a final consultation with me, having a final surgery design on my face as well. Then I was put to sleep with the anesthesia and I had no idea when I fell asleep...
When I woke, I was so surprised that the surgery was already over. The nurse brought me to the recovery room and I felt a bit uncomfortable with my dry throat. The nurse told me I was not able to drink or take a nap in the 6 hours after surgery. I felt a bit dizzy but way better as time passed. By the time I could drink water with a syringe, my dry throat felt way better too. Esther instructed me on how to take the medicine and use the ice bags during my recovery, thank you so much!
So everything went fine in the first few days. When I first got out of surgery, my toenail was bothering me, and then it went away my tailbone, my throat, and a headache were bothering me in sequence. The blood drains and blood bags were removed, and I went to Bukhansan, a mountain in Seoul, for a walk and it helped with the deswelling a lot! Shout out to Braun for providing me with shampoo and deswelling laser treatment, I felt so much better after that!
As you can see, most of my bruises were gone after a week. One week later, I went back to Braun for the post-operation check-ups. The doctors told me that my scratches were healing well and all I had to do was wait for the result. I was so surprised that I didn’t feel pain as I was so worried about the pain before the surgery. Every time when I looked in the mirror, I could see my lines were getting more apparent, my wrinkles were gone and my eyes were more open. That kept my spirits up even though the recovery was quite challenging for the first few days!
