(procedure on Zygoma, Mandible and Chin Lengthening to achieve a small and V-line face shape!)
I always hated my big and squarish face shape which makes me looks masculine and less feminine. After much consideration and envying others for so long, finally I decided to make the most extreme change of my life! A Smaller and more V-shape face – it has to be: Zygoma and Mandible for a “Baby-V” makeover!
Soon
after I made up my mind, I started doing my own research and understand
that both Zygoma and Mandible is a consider a major surgery as it
requires General Anesthetic (GA) during the procedure and the recojvering
process may take up to months! That is a lot of patience though! (LOL)
Well, knowing that these are no-joke procedures, as an ex-patient of ITEM, I am filled with confidence and believed that I can fully entrust myself to ITEM again so I contacted ITEM to schedule for my face to face consultation and surgery with their facial contouring specialist – Dr. Kim Jin-Sung. ITEM Staff are very friendly and helpful to furnished me with the PreOps DOs & DON’Ts to prepare myself for the trip!
On 12 October 2016, Wednesday was my consultation appointment. A very professional and bilingual consultant, Ms Evelyn attended to me. I underwent CT Scan, the needful medical check-up and blood test. Well that is just a “warm up” for my “Big Day” tomorrow! Soon after, I had a face to face consultation with Dr Kim Jin-Sung. After understanding my concerns, Dr. Kim suggested that I should lengthen my chin as well to get the ultimate desired results. Why not!?
A
Precise CT SCAN Before Surgery ~ A computerized tomography (CT) scan
combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles and uses
computer processing to create cross-sectional images, or slices, of the
bones, blood vessels and soft tissues inside your body. CT scan images
provide more detailed information than plain X-rays do.
On my very “Big Day” - 13 October 2016, Thursday, I am all ready for my extreme “Baby-V” makeover! My final face to face consultation with Dr Kim Jin-Sung, after making some markings on my face, Dr. explained to me once again that he will be performing Zygoma (Cheekbone Reduction), Mandible (Mandibular Contouring) and Chin Lengthening (with my own mandible angle bone)! How nice, I do not need to have any implant for my chin!! I am so ready to get “knock-out” and can’t wait to see how I look when I’m awake! (LOL)
AFTER SURGERY
Wow, the bandages and tubes gave me a shock when I regain conscious! (LOL) I look like “an alien”!! But I was told the tubes are necessary so that it could drain out any excess blood and helps in recovery. Feeling groggy still and I have to stay one night in clinic for observation. (Great!) As there will be professional nurses around so I don’t have to worry much ^-^. Time to time, the nurses will come and check on me and take my blood test as I encountered nose bleed, which is normal and happens on some patient after surgery, so I could not sit upright to avoid the nose bleed. And with the tubes, it is abit uncomfortable to sleep though. Also, I am on liquid diet. A lot of pumpkin juices and shakes… what a good chance to slim down ya! (LOL)

Yeah!! This morning finally got the bandages and tubes removed! Feeling so much better without the tubes and here’s how I look now…
Live: PostOps – Day 2 (15 October 2016, Saturday)
Lying on bed, sleeping at 45° causes some minor shoulder & back aching but overall, I woke up feeling FRESH! The swelling have subside a little, the jaw is still experiencing slight pressure.
I didn’t have my teeth brush today but I have rinsed my mouth thoroughly with mouth wash.
I can’t wait to get out of the room for some shopping!!
Live: PostOps – Day 3 (16 October 2016, Sunday)
YAWN!!! Happy Sunday!! Today is Day 3 of my PostOps and everyday I am so eager to see how I look after a night of
rest. But in fact I did not really sleep well last night as I have
slept sideway and now is like OUCH! (what have I done man!) (LOLx)
Well but still glad to see that my swelling went down and bruises
lighten! My ice pack efforts did paid off! My mouth still hurts a
little since I'm not able to open-up so I actually guggle my mouth in
between before and after every meals! Ya! I know, sounds so Singaporean
right 
😆but its definitely better to be "kiasu" than being feeling filthy 😑

Live: PostOps – Day 4 (17 October 2016, MONDAY)
What a perfect weather! Its about 17 degree in Korea and totally fits into the Monday Blue mood when I woke up this morning, LOVE the cool weather sooooo much!!
Feeling OUCH OUCH on the hairline area because I have slept sideway again subconsciously!! LOLx
Day 4th after surgery, bruises turning greenish daily but swelling looks slightly more as compared to yesterday. Could be due to the sideways sleeping posture. But I must say I am impressed with the Rejuran Healer effect, my bruises turns out not as bad as I thought and my complexion and pores has improved a lot!
Lotsa of patience required at stage though is not easy. But I must say having a Strong and Positive mindset is very Important too to help speed up my recovery! I'm so grateful and blessed to have my BFF here with me! Thank you so much buddy!! Luv and Hugz XOXO
Live: PostOps – Day 5 (18 October 2016, TUESDAY)
终于等到第五天啦！！Today is the 5th day after my BIG DAY, it’s really a blessing that I have went through the toughest 5 days and I went to ITEM Clinic for review this afternoon and had my wound clean-up and bandage removed.
I have never knew that sleeping straight is a challenge to myself despite placing pillows on my left & right for support but still… I managed to turn sideway while asleep!! I experienced a little OUCH on my hairline. I will challenge my sleeping pattern with more pillows tonight LOLx
Some of my stitches got loosen this morning but I am not worry as I knew that the stitches are dissolvable. The sweet nurses in the clinic gently cleanse my wound and I don’t feel any discomfort at all.. Initially I was a little worry over the cleaning part. 白担心了一场！Apart from thorough cleaning, the nurses removed the bandage on my jaw area.. PHEW!! another relief!! 现在我可是轻轻松松呀！
The most exciting part is that I am able to start having soft food, chew gently.. fish, mince meat and so much yummy food I am able to consume now.. I am looking forward to have more solid food in another 2 weeks time.
I noticed less swelling & better complexion (Thanks to Rejuran Healer!)
Item Clinic has created a Miracle for me!
Thanks ITEM Clinic!
MILLION THANKS to Dr Kim Jin Sung and not forgetting to thanks my buddy who is with me throughout this period!!
Live: PostOps – Day 6 (19 October 2016, WEDNESDAY)
Today is Day 6th after surgery already! How time flies ya and I'm soooo
gonna miss the cool weather and nice food here as we are leaving for
home in another 2days time!!
My jaw makes me feel OUCH OUCH
OUCH today! Likely due to over tightness of the facial compression
garment yesterday. LOLx I thought by wearing it tighter can helps to
have a more v-line effect 😅 but it's proven that this mindset is wrong!
😂 The compression garment gonna wear for at least 8hrs per day so
best is to wear it comfortably! My bruises is recovering well by
getting greenish each day. As for my swelling, I do learnt something
new!!! Avoid drinking water after 10pm can helps to prevent
water-retention which will makes the deswell effect more obvious the
next day!!!🤓 very observant right!! Lolx
Now I'm gonna go out
for "gai gai" again to distress and prepare myself for tomorrow! My
stitch-off day!! Sounds scary huh?? I thought so too!!!
Live: PostOps – Day 7 (20 October 2016, Thursday)
Another round of exciting moment again!! It's stitch-off day!!! Gonna
remove the staple for my Zygoma stitch!!! Oh my!!! Just come to think
of it makes me sweat man!! I'm gonna go for a good shower and good meal
before heading to ITEM clinic!!!
Wow! After few hours at clinic, I feel so refreshing now!! Did
high
frequency treatment for deswelling, vitamin ionic treatment for
whitening and removal of dead skin tissue treatment! My skin now smooth
like baby skin!!! Totally forgotten about the mild staple off pain
earlier on!! OMG!! I'm so in love with myself right now!!
I'm really glad that I did my surgeries with ITEM clinic. A clinic that I will recommend it to all my friends. Great service, great surgeon, great advisor, great staff and environment!
Stay tuned @itempsglobal for my daily LIVE post back in Singapore!!!
Live: PostOps – 2 Weeks (27 October 2016, Thursday)
Time passes so quickly and its been 2 weeks since my BIG DAY with ITEM Clinic! I am back to Singapore and back to work since Monday.
My Baby-V is getting more obvious as the swelling subsided quite a lot
after the last treatment I did at clinic on my stitch off day. I'm so
glad that I took the professional advice from Dr Kim Jin-Sung to have my
chin lengthen using my own Manibular Bone... I'm so in loved with my
chin effect!!
Everyday, I'm so eager to see myself in the mirror
for a more contour and define face shape!! A daily morning booster to
kick start my day ya!!! I also noticed that my pores and acne
scars are less visible with very smooth complexion! All thanks to the
miracle healing power of REJURAN! Yeah! Now I can be a proud #noedit selfie queen!!! LOLx
More picture & information coming to your way! CHEERIO!!
Live: PostOps – 3 Weeks (3rd Nov 2016 Thursday)
Back on track to my usual pace after a tremendous change 3 weeks back!
I'm recovering very well! The stitches inside my mouth seems to have totally dissolved despite the minor pressure on my jaw which restrict my mouth movement and I have to continue to eat slowly and gently just like a lady!! 
😁 I also noticed the contour of 'burger face' 汉堡脸 is getting more and more contour everyday 
😂 and ya that is my new nickname given by my friends! "Hamster" LOLx. Well, the nickname doesn't bother me at all, in fact I love how I look now and I am so much in loved with myself!! Coz I know I'm transforming into 我梦寐以求的鹅蛋in no time!!

Live: PostOps – 2 Months 3 days
(16 December 2016, Friday)
Another busy month past!! Sorry for the late posting due to festive season. Today marks my PostOps 2 months 3 days already!!! How fast right! I'm recovering so well!
Hmm... the only impact is that i can still feel the "pressure" on my jaw especially every morning when I woke up and also the tightness on my cheeks and chin. The "pressure" feeling is more like water retention though. No other pain, aching or swelling so far. Consider myself lucky! ^_^
Oh ya, I'm also able to 'open' my mouth big to chew food and eat as per normal again! Just in time to enjoy & feast in this holiday season!
Do you see my vline getting more obvious on my 2nd month PostOps? Haha I'm so in love with my face shape!
