Huirong’sMake Over Story(Before)
Hello! Let me introduce myself first. I’m Chua Huirong from Singapore. I’m a chosen
person as blogging ambassador for Shiseido’s Majolica
Majorca for 3years, Clubcouture ambassador 2010, the199shop ambassador,
Porcelain face spa, Chez Vous hair salon and last but not least-resident
blogger for myfatpocket.com for 3years long.
Now, are you wondering why I am writing this?
I would like to tell you how my life has been
changed after I met Item plastic surgery clinic.
The biggest reason why I decided to visit Item
clinic was my overbite face line.
Actually many people around me are surprised or
shocked about it.
Some said “You don’t need!!
WHY?!”
WHY do I want to do the surgeries??
I’ve
been bothered with my overbite since young. There are people in forums calling
me “overbite girl” and it’s not very nice of them
If it’s
just strangers calling me “overbite”, I don’t mind it. But even my own friends
make fun of me about it and my parents do that sometimes... You can’t imagine how stressful it is.
I know I’m
overbite, but i don’t want to be reminded about it
constantly. Usually I would smile or laugh along because it’s true but deep inside in my mind… i feel a
little sad. If we are all given a choice, we all want to be born beautiful or
handsome right?
My overbite isn’t that obvious on photos but it’s obvious in
person.
Some of friends said “A little overbite is cute!.” I guess they
are sensitive individuals, trying to be nice and tactful with their words.. I
really appreciate it. Overbite around 3-5mm is normal but mine is around 7-8mm,
hence mine is really NOT cute. It is skeletal overbite caused by
the position of the jaw and the underlying skeleton, braces cannot fix it. Jaw
surgery is required to physically move the jaw and so to prevent the
protrusion. However, it is expensive and invasive procedure. I have a friend
with 11mm overbite, did it and shared his experience with me, it sounds really
painful and I don’t think I’m
ready for it.
I
found this picture in the website and gave me an idea that fixing nose and chin
can help the overbite face line.
Next
concern is my BIG FAT NOSE!
Even
I put make up, it still look so big and fat! I feel like to punch it.
My
side view, can you see the hump on the nose?
It
is so obvious.
I
have natural high nose bridge though, the nose is too long and quite droopy.
Another
concern is my eyes.
I have heard several times that I look different
or tired without putting eye liner! In fact, my ex-classmates ask if I was sick
when they saw me without eyeliner & concealer.
Since that time, I don’t dare to go out without eyeliner (unless it’s somewhere near by). I know it may sound crazy to many of you
because people always “think”
that i have big eyes. It’s not true!
Here’s
the truth. The eye makeup and contact lens helped my eyes to be brightens up!
For your information, my left eye has always
been much bigger than right eye.
Even with light makeup done by makeup artist, it
is super obvious right?
Other area of concern..
Do
you see the flat spot on my forehead?
I know I look okay with makeup on but I want to look
okay without makeup as well.
Some
told me that I’m naturally pretty, i don’t need it. Thank
you for your kind words..
But
makeup really does wonders.
These
few photos were taken when i had makeup on. Without makeup, it is worse!
My
ex-boyfriend and some of my friends used to tease me when i remove makeup. They
asked me “where’s Huirong? Who are you?”
Moving on!!
On the very first day in Korea, I went to Item
clinic to get a consultation with doctors.
Item clinic is located in very good area.
I was greeted by the friendly staff who speaks
English.
While I was waiting to see a doctor, I was
really excited and nervous!
Finally I met the famous doctors in person!
The first doctor I met was Dr. Kim Jin Sung.
He spoke English to me, there’s no communication barrier
He even drew out the diagram of my original nose
shape from side view and the new nose shape that he’s going to make for me.
The following consultation was with Dr.Chung
Woojin. He was very friendly and his smile made me feel comfortable and he
speaks English very fluently. I felt really comfortable to talk to him.
Dr.Chung was very friendly and patient. He drew
diagram to explain to me about partial incision that he will make for my eyes,
to balance the size of my eyes and making them look more define.
Then he explained about fat graft.
He pointed out my flat forehead, hallow temple
and cheeks. The fat graft will make my profile look more 3D.
Grafting fat on the chin will make more complete
result for my overbite face line.
And It is going to help for V-shape looking!
YEAH!!
Summary
1)
Rhinoplasty (removing nose hump + tip
reshaping of droopy tip using my own nasal septum + alar reduction)
There’s obvious nose bump on my nose bridge that will be removed. Doctor Kim has also pointed out my droopy nose tip, Hence tip-plasty is required. I’ve been complaining about how big my nose looks on my face, so yea.. alar reduction is going to make my nose base smaller .

As i have relatively high nose bridge, doctor suggested me to keep my
nose bridge the same height otherwise it may look too drastic.
2) Double
eyelid (partial
incision method)
As I naturally have double eyelid but it’s not balanced and it’s not define enough,
hence i look “sick” or “tired” without eye makeup. Doctor suggested
to balance it up using partial incision method with no scaring and the chances
of it disappearing is low
3) Fat-grafting (forehead,
temples, laugh line, cheek, chin, eyelid)
Fat is obtained from the thigh, it is then purified carefully before
re-injecting it with needles into the areas requiring augmentation.
I want to get rid of “dark patch” on my forehead. And as we age, it’s unavoidable to look tired. I want to regain my youthful look by getting rid of the sunken cheeks, laugh lines and the unevenness of the overall face shape, hence fat graft is the answer to it. The amount of fats that remains (usually only around 50%) works like fillers and it last.

(After)
Please
do not freak out. It is really not painful as it looks.
My
surgery started at 11am and the surgery was done at 3pm, It took only 4hours.
The
swelling and bruising are lesser than I expected.
However, the swelling starts on the next day.
This
ice pack was given by Item clinic. They putting ice pack would help the
swelling a lot.
It is more swollen compare
to the first day, Isn’t it?
The
third day is the worst. Definitely it is going to be the ugliest state in my
entire life.
Everything is OFF!!
I
was super duper happy!
I
heard the pumpkin soup helps to reduce swelling and I think it works.
I feel it is getting
better. J
I was able to cover the
bruises with concealer.
I’m
sure you can see the difference.
And I’m
back to the daily life 2weeks after the surgery.
This is how I look right
now after I’m back from Korea.
I really love to take
picture of myself.
I am not stressed at all from
the overbite looking anymore. hehe
Sometimes I even forget if
I had a surgery because it looks very natural.
I really appreciate to
Item clinic not only for the best surgery skill but also their kind staffs and safe
surgery procedure.
I love Item plastic
surgery clinic!! ♥♥♥
