I’ve always been the kind of person who thought plastic surgery was something for other people—not for me. But, as I hit my late 40s, I started noticing some changes in my face that weren’t exactly flattering—sagging around my jawline, wrinkles in places that didn’t use to have them, and that tired look that no amount of sleep seemed to fix.
At first, I brushed it off. But over time, it started bothering me more. I didn’t want to look “young” necessarily, but I wanted to feel like my face matched my energy and how I felt inside. So, after a lot of research and many months of consideration, I decided to go for it.
I’d heard that Seoul was the epicenter of plastic surgery, and I’d read some glowing reviews about 1mm Plastic Surgery. Their philosophy of making small, precise adjustments to achieve natural results really spoke to me. I didn’t want a dramatic change—I just wanted to look refreshed, not “done.”
I booked a consultation with Dr. Eon Rok Do at 1mm Plastic Surgery. From the very first meeting, I felt completely comfortable. Dr. Do was thorough, asking about my concerns and explaining how he would approach the surgery to ensure a subtle yet rejuvenating result. He also introduced me to Dr. Hong Jin Kim and Dr. Young Su Na, and the team’s approach was clear: they wanted to enhance my features, not alter them.
The surgery itself was relatively smooth, and I stayed in Seoul for about two weeks for recovery. 1mm has an excellent post-op program, so I was regularly checked on by the medical team. They made sure I had everything I needed—from medication to follow-up appointments. The healing process wasn’t as bad as I’d feared, and the results were incredible.
Recovery Timeline:
- First Week: Swelling and bruising were expected, but the staff made sure I had the best care. By the end of the week, I was already seeing some positive changes.
- Week 2: Stitches were removed, and the swelling started to subside. I could go out with a hat and sunglasses and feel totally fine.
- Month 1: By the time I hit the one-month mark, the final results were starting to shine through. I felt more confident, younger, but still me.
And that’s the beauty of what 1mm Plastic Surgery does—they don’t aim for the over-the-top, tight look. Instead, their focus is on making sure that you look youthful but natural. My face looks so much more defined now, but I haven’t lost my ability to express myself—no stiff, frozen looks. I can still smile, laugh, and raise my eyebrows without any issues.
If you’re considering a facelift in Seoul and want natural results that enhance your features, I wholeheartedly recommend 1mm Plastic Surgery. The team—Dr. Eon Rok Do, Dr. Hong Jin Kim, and Dr. Young Su Na—is experienced, professional, and, most importantly, dedicated to giving you results that feel true to you.
