Milk’s Real Review | My Face Contouring Experience in Korea: Forehead Lift, Fat Grafting, Zygoma Reduction
Forehead Lift, Fat Grafting & Zygoma Reduction Overview
My Story Before Surgery
Hi, I’m Milk from Thailand, and I’d love to share my facial contouring journey with you. I had always wanted a more feminine facial line. After a lot of research, I decided to travel to Korea and undergo three procedures at once: a forehead lift, fat grafting, and cheekbone reduction.
For me, it was not just about looking prettier. It was about feeling more confident and comfortable in my own skin. I am truly happy with my decision, and I hope my story can help others who are thinking about doing something similar.
“What is Zygoma Reduction?”
Zygoma reduction surgery is a facial contouring procedure that focuses on reshaping the cheekbones, which play a key role in the overall width and structure of the face. Traditional cheekbone reduction techniques often involve cutting and removing bone, which can lead to unwanted side effects like skin sagging or hollowing over time.
At ThePlus, Dr. Kim offers a safer, more natural alternative. Instead of cutting and removing bone, he uses a precise rotation and repositioning technique to bring the cheekbone slightly inward and forward—creating a slimmer yet balanced facial contour.
“This non-invasive, bone-preserving approach minimizes the risk of sagging and helps maintain your skin’s natural firmness,” explains Dr. Kim. “In most cases, this advanced method delivers excellent results without the need for aggressive bone removal. For patients with larger bone structures, we carefully tailor the rotation method to ensure the best possible outcome.”

Why I Chose ThePlus Plastic Surgery
One of the biggest reasons I chose ThePlus was that I was able to talk directly with Dr. Kim Taek-gyun from the very beginning. A lot of other clinics I contacted only let me speak with their consultants or coordinators first, and it just didn’t feel personal or reassuring.

But with ThePlus, I could explain my concerns and ask all my questions directly to the doctor who would actually perform my surgery. Dr. Kim really listened to what I wanted and created a surgical plan that felt tailored just for me.
Recovery Journey
I can honestly say the process was easier than I expected. Here’s how it went:
My face felt a bit swollen and tight, especially around the cheeks and forehead. I had some bruising around my eyes, but it was not too bad
I actually looked more swollen than I did the day after surgery, but there was no pain at all
I tried wearing light makeup, but the swelling was still noticeable
Finally, the swelling started to go down. I could see some changes in my face shape
I started getting compliments, even with just minimal makeup. The lifted forehead and slimmer cheekbones made a big difference
There is still some swelling, but I can clearly see the results now and I am very satisfied. I cannot wait for the rest of the swelling to go down
My Story After Surgery
One month after surgery, I feel like a new and better version of myself. My forehead is smoother, my cheeks look softer, and the sides of my face are slimmer in a very flattering way!
I am really happy with the results and so grateful to Dr. Kim and everyone at ThePlus. From the first consultation to the recovery process, everything was more comfortable and supportive than I expected.
Before & After Result
From before surgery to one month after. The change is clear but still looks natural, and I feel like this is the face I was always meant to have!
