On Sunday I had it out with my dad. Right when I thought everything was settled with my parents this little spat happened, it was about whether my mom should come with me to Korea or not. When I first told her my intentions I did offer if she wanted to come, but that was mostly to soften the "bomb" I was dropping on her. I'm not really sure if that worked in my favor or not. Anyway, the entire animosity between the three of us was just so juvenile. I know they're worried about my health and safety which is flattering and all, but having one of them there would literally do nothing. If anything it would just cause more chaos and confusion. Having someone there the day of would be great sure but I'll survive. If in the small chance something goes wrong I'll deal with it because I'm an ADULT!! (the second I typed this mommy came in with my laundry hihihihi)
Anyway, they're finally cool with it now. I expect some more semi-freaking out once it gets closer to the date but nothing like how it was for the past 4-5 months.
On to more plastic related goodness this week I had an epiphany. I...I don't like my forehead. I sent pictures to a friend to photoshop, mainly for fun, and when I was looking at the side profile one of course I looked straight at my nose. cringe and then my chin cringe and then I noticed my forehead....cringe?!?!?
I'm being a bit dramatic it's not like I have a huge dent or like, a noticeably inverted forehead but if I can add to it using a relativity simple procedure then why not? If I do end up getting something done to my forehead I've decided to go with fat grafting over fillers/implants. At first I was a little freaked out because the B&A of some forehead fat grafts look REALLY weird, especially on girls.
This is one of the ones I found that I really liked. Ignoring the fact that he got like four other procedures done, the possible photoshop + make up + lighting etc and that id hospital are a bunch of con artists, I think his new forehead looks really nice. The thing with fat grafting is that results are "semi-permanent", because your body absorbs fat. So the end result tends to be quite subtle and more natural looking. It's very common to get fat grafting done again since upwards of 40-60% of the grafting can be absorbed. It depends on the person receiving it and the doctor who performs it of course. I've read some cases where the patient actually absorbed all the fat and they look exactly the same again. I'm confident in the clinics I'm going to consult with so hopefully my results wouldn't end up like that.
So, my current hierarchy of surgeries is
NOSE & CHIN
FOREHEAD FAT GRAFT
LIP REDUCTION
Getting nose & chin no matter what. I probably won't bother emailing my #1 clinic choice right now for inquires on the fat graft, will just talk about it in person. I've yet to have an online consultation with my #2 so I'll just ask them. Getting a fat graft in one area isn't that expensive so of course I favor that over the lips, plus my new chin + forehead would already GREATLY reduce the appearance of my current protruded lips so I'm starting to think it wouldn't even be necessary? I also don't want my lips too small...
"People with no upper lip CANNOT be trusted" - fish cakeLip reduction also isn't a surgery that's commonly practiced in Korea. While researching clinics my choices were minimal because many clinics didn't offer it. Time well tell
*update
Okay I'm pretty sure I don't want a fat graft anymore. Apparently I underestimated how much fat is actually absorbed after the first time. Having to go back for 3+ times...yeah no, fuck that. Maybe I'll start looking into forehead implants
