Contest details is at the end of this post!

For now see the last part of the 3-part video first! =D

Of my recovery, stitch removal and final consultation with my doctor, Dr Lee Seok June from REGEN Medical Group Korea.

Thank you, to DocDoc.com.. Now that i am sharing the last post for this journey.. I realise that i didn't grow to be less thankful to them. Like you know when you get used to having something, you just tend to take it for granted. In fact i grow more and more thankful each day to DocDoc for giving me this chance to do something for my face to make myself feel even better =D

I think also cox everyday i recover, i look better hahaha. So i feel more thankful that it happened.

And i am very happy that DocDoc is sponsoring the $5000 cash for my readers becox everyone will stand a chance to have something so big and meaningful happen to them lor. Opportunities like these don't come often. And i'm just happy that at least there's one shot here for my readers also lah =)

Cox most of you all have been very encouraging on instagram and on my blog =') Thank you ah. Of course there are also people who just wanna pull me down lah but..

If there's one thing i've learnt from this whole episode of doing things to my face..

I'd say it's to believe in myself.

Try doing something major to your face, something that is HUGE in your life.. Something that means a lot to you. And then have people telling you everyday that you're making a mistake.. That you look bad and ugly after the surgery.. That you look like so-and-so (all happens so, are people you dislike lolol) and that you are rotten and insecured inside, that's why you need to fix your face etc etc..

Try going through all that and have to go through recovery at the same time.

And sometimes they make you doubt yourself and feel self-conscious about how the people around you think about you. Like one anonymous dude online ask me how does Josh feel to wake up to his wife looking like a different person. Crazy. Josh went through the whole thing with me how can he be shocked. Lol. He see the gradually change and difference from the recovery what.

Shock also everyday shock a bit only cox i everyday become a bit more chioer, a bit more chioer lolol. Kidding lah i don't wanna self-praise too much. All the credit of me looking better goes to DocDoc.com and REGEN Medical Group Korea. Haha. They made it happen for me, i feel like i am just dazing through a beautiful dream.

So before i start showing you the Before and After pictures and pictures of my day to day recovery after removal of stitches.. I just wanna say.. Keep your spirits up, if you're thinking of doing plastic surgery. It is actually a very easy process, more so if you choose to keep it within yourself and your circle of friends and family, especially before the surgery.

On how to handle people who keep telling you that you don't need this, you sholdn't do it, you'd regret it etc etc. All you have to remember is.. Number 1, they are not doctors. Number 2, they are not you and they don't face your face and body in the mirror everyday, several times a day. Number 3, you do whatever makes you feel better as long as you KNOW THE LIMIT. I mean if you're starting to look like a tight overfilled wax face with constant glaring eyes then you probably might wanna consider stopping for a while lah =X

Just.. Have better sense of judgement lolol.

But all i'm saying is.. Believe in yourself. That you can do it.That you CAN do it! That you can recover well and that you will look better than before. I think that is the crucial point.

The results might not turn out to be 100% of what you had in mind but you must understand that the doctors have tens of years of experience in the field and they should know better what suits you best and will make you look best. So give and take a little, so long as it's chioer than before, i think you're doing good already =D Alright! Picture time =DDD Omg i very happy when drafting this post.

Cox all the photos no need to photoshop!!! Only need to pull colour to some of it hahah =DDD

Plastic surgery saves me a lot of time spent on photoshopping, that's for sure.

After removal of stitches
(Day 7 after surgery)

*Please note that my nose is still very swollen and will continue to deswell until about at least 3 months after surgery, AND will only settle into its final form in 6 months.

Before surgery and Day 7 after surgery, removal of stitches. You can notice my facial contour line has smoothen out from the filling of my own fats. Temple and under-zygoma filled to make zygoma less obvious. Laugh lines filled, chin filled to shape for a sharper chin. AND!!! BEST PART, MY FOREHEAD!!!!!!!!! NO LONGER CAN SEE UNEVEN SUNKEN LINES!!!! =DDDDD

You can see the nostrils size difference more obviously after the surgery even though i didn't do anything to my alars this time. The big and small alars and the alar scar are from my surgery in Thailand earlier haha =X It looks more obvious after my current surgery cox the nose is still swollen.

Just look at those jaws and cheeks that is filled!!!!! FAT-GRAFTING IS AWESOME IS MAKES YOU LOOK YOUNGER AND FULLER AND CUTER!!!!! =DDD

Goodbye forever (for at least 3 years i mean lolol) stupid sunken forehead lines. I'll never miss you!

You can note that there's no more hump on my nose bridge ^.^ And the nose bridge has become higher, tip also higher and more defined! =DDD

Softer facial contouring so i don't look so manly anymore =DDD

The fat-grafting will make the face look swollen and will settle in about 2 weeks from the surgery. So when these pictures are taken i am still quite swollen one. But it is definitely better than this...

A bit like a man tyring to act cute with pink polka dot bow and all hahaha. Then the cheekbone and zygoma soooo obvious and forehead soooo bumpy!!! Just too manly and tired looking!

Alright! Last one of the before / after side by side ^.^ I am sure you get it already. Hahaha.

After removal of stitches, we head off to eat!!! Hop into a random chinese restuarant cox we have been having too much Korean food haha. Josh photobombing me.

Us four ^.^ Thank you, to the best 3 people who took care of me everyday during this Korea trip ^.^

Their Zha Jiang Mian.

Some kind of garlic prawn? I was told that i can eat anything after the surgery leh! Except of course food that i am allergic to. It's very different from the usual Chinese way of "no prawns, no shellfish, no sotong" etc haha. So it was quite shiok, i ate anything i want =DDD And nothing happened.

Sweet and sour pork!!! Very different from what we have (which is more like the colour of the prawn above) but taste the same! =D And it's extra crispy cox it's in strips instead of cubes and chunks.

So i got home and then below are my day-to-day recovery pictures after removal of stitches =)

I snap these pictures after i come out from the showers, every day haha. So please try to understand why i never change clothes ah. It's sleeping clothes and i only change it once every 2-3 weeks =X

On about Day 4 i put on eye makeup cox i need to shoot for an advert. Sigh.. NOBODY READ MY DISCLAIMER LINE in the advert that my face and nose is still very swollen and they're all like "You look better before surgery", "You look weird now" etc etc. I am sorry but i 100% think i look better after surgery. Not a single doubt. Lol. Okay maybe i overdo my eyebrow for that advert hahaha.

With only eye makeup. I think the face already look so much better lah please. Forehead and face?!?! Can see not!!! The difference is huge to me!!! And then chin also sharper.

"People are unforgiving" Lolol.

How! Got slowly become better not?

This is how my nose look from a higher angle. I freaking love it. Cox there's a very gradual slope that leads to the tip haha. Not like strong straight sharp like this. So it's more natural i think! =D

From this angle also don't look as bad as before hahaha. Before if i snap picture from this angle, i can just forget about it. I will never post it cox it'd be too angular already! Now it's softer hor??? =DDD

Btw although you see my nose in all the pictures but in actual fact, anytime i can, i keep the nose splint on for about 10 or 11 days in total. It helps to keep the nose bridge in the center =D

On Day 8 i had to snap pictures for another advert and i still look swollen hahaha.

This is about day 7. The self-dissolve thread inside the nose. The outside ones on the columella is removed already ma. And it's healing well as you can see. Just apply the ointment they give you with cotton bud everyday. Very easy one. Stitches inside you can just leave it be, and remove it on the 14th day after surgery but i left it for 1 month and it all dropped on its own haha.

This is from Day 8 =D I thought i look quite alright in this picture leh!! The nose so cute hahaha. WHATWHATWHAT. I GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS NOW LET ME ENJOY A BIT LAH.

Day 11 i had a photoshoot!

And this is after i makeup haha. After nose job really more prefer to snap pictures from side angle. Lolol. It is not going to stay sooooo extra high forever!!! It will settle after 6 months and it'd still be high but not so high. So now must milk it. Lolol.

While waiting for shoot to happen.

And then these are the last few days i document. Cox i feel the fat-grafting have settle in mostly liao!

Picture taken recent with no photoshop on my face =DDD HOW DOES IT LOOK!!!! I THINK I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT LAH!!!!! REMEMBER HOW I LOOK BEFORE IN PICTURES?!

Like this leh!!! Jagged and angular and old and tired =X Lolol.

Now =DDD After Fat-Grafting and Nose Job =DDD I LOVE IT!!!! Gonna spam more recent pictures with no photoshop ah please bear with it.

The "Scared people don't know i got nice nose bridge now" pose. Lolol.

I sent this picture to Michelle and caption it "Angelababy" Lolololol.

And this is how i look 4 months ago =OOOO 走开!!!!!!

And this is how i look on April 10th at a photoshoot for CLEO magazine insert for GUESS ^.^ A lot of people say i look Korean / Japanese in this picture =X Haha. Real one not i ownself say one.

Day to Day Recovery (Nose Job / Fat Grafting Part 2)

5th March was the day of the surgery =) This post is gonna be of my day to day recovery before my splint is removed.. Will show you guys more pictures of my recovery after removal of the splint. But for now, you can see very good results on my face from the fat-grafting. Fat-grafting is da bomb, i swear.

Post 1 is here. Where you can see how sunken, old and tired i look before fat-grafting.

So i'm really doing it!

Thanks to DocDoc.com =))

Couldn't have happened so smoothly without them. Thankful for the coordinators at DocDoc for helping me settle everything with the doctor, consultants etc =)

Actually you can search for the doctors / email DocDoc to ask them to find a doctor to your specifications, like i search through their website and read about how REGEN Medical Group is one of the best (if not the best) in Seoul, that's why i was happy that REGEN is also the one that DocDoc recommended for my surgeries.

So if you have any specification of what kind of doctor you need / country / area you'd like to do your procedures in, you can either use the DocDoc website to search for it, or if you really have no better idea / lazy to read, you can just email to ask DocDoc lol.

Of course if you're in Singapore, you can just browse the DocDoc site to get information easily. But if you want more information about Medical Tourism in South Korea, you can read up HERE =)

The info there help better prepare myself for the trip also =D But most importantly is the DocDoc support team really offered me a lot of help while planning for the trip. So when i landed in Korea, and arrived at the clinic, there's nothing to worry about!!!

At the clinic.. Final few pictures of my old face haha. My skin was doing good lor!!! I wanna get it back into that condition again soon!!! =D

My nostrils is quite unbalanced from alarplasty done in Thailand haha. I deserve it lah. I was thinking "So cheap, don't care just do" Lol. But it's fine, i am okay with it cox not obvious in real life. And you can still see the scar lol. But it's also okay! Cox i have also come to terms with it dee. Lol.

With Michie =DDD This picture is our last picture together before i go fix my face haha.

After bloodtest i go for consultation with my doctor, Dr Lee Seok June. Hahahaha i look ridiculous here. The red markings are where i need fats. I agree. Haha.

Watch the video to see the whole process of the consultation with the doctor, bloodtest, and all.

If you're keen in doing the same procedures or any procedures, i hope the videos will prep you better for it. It's not the surgery that is worrying lor. It's the anticipation that is scary.

I cried a bit in the video what the heck. Can't say i'm touched thou that moment i really felt like "What am i doing! My dad thinks i am the most beautiful already do i really need to do this!"

But hey hey, now-now, that i'm recovered, i think i made the best choice ever to go ahead with it. Lolol. Really is look much awake and less sickly and less tired!!! And look kinda younger also =D

Right after the surgery. I actually don't remember when and where this shot was taken cox i was still pretty much in a daze from the sedation.

Actually the surgery would take like 2 to 3 hours max. But mine took about 5 hours plus in the end cox i don't have enough fats for them to draw lol. So they had to work around it but it got done in the end! =DDD And then becox the surgery time extended, i think they also added to the sedation effective time.. So people usually sleep for 1 hour after the surgery.. I think i slept for 3 hours hahaha.

Not sure if it's cox of the increased sedation or cox i was just really sleeping well. Lol.

I have to warn you a bit first. Better buff yourself up if you wanna do fat grafting lolol. You'd have a much easier time. Cox if they can get enough from either your abdomen (tummy lah lolol) or under butt (the line between butt and thigh, got lotsa loose fats there lolol), they don't have to take from your thigh. But i don't have much at the tummy for them to take so other than the under butt, they also had to draw fats from my back thigh.

Which.. Will end up looking like this, but it doesn't feel as bad as it looks, i promise lol. AND the good news is, your back thigh, are where the fats are MOST STUBBORN. And will therefore stay longer at your face for longer-lasting results!!! Fat-grafting results can last 3-5 years depending on individual.

There. If you notice, there's a small standalone dot, at the bottom, right? That's the point they draw the fats from underbutt. And it's very tiny one!!! Smaller than mosquito bites.

So if you have flabby asses that are very fatty.. As bad as it sounds.. It's great for withdrawal of fats for fat grafting to your face. Lololol. Then you no need to bruise your thighs mah! =D Haha.

Night of Surgery Day

Lolol. Don't know why i look sad here i wasn't. I just really woke up from the daze. When i was previewing this picture i was like "Wah i look so bouncy" Lolol. Don't even know what that means.

Be prepared for lotsa face shots. Haha. Like this you can follow through my day to day recovery ma.

This time there was cotton bud in my nose.

So ah, the whole night you have to breath through your mouth. It was winter time then, weather is really cold and dry. So even in the hotel room, your mouth will feel very dry and.. You might not believe, but your tongue will become crispy one. Lolol. Really. So remember to drink a lot of water.

I am surprised i didn't get a sore throat! I constantly wake up to sip a bit of water. Sometimes i sleep too long i'd wake up to crispy tongue. Haha. So have to keep the water in my mouth until my tongue soften again. Lolol. Kinda like.. Fish maw. Hahaha.

But other than that, you have no pain on the nose job one.

Day 1 of recovery after surgery

Room service breakfast before i head off to REGEN to remove the cotton buds and clean up the wound a bit! =D

After removal of the cotton bud =DDD

Quite excited to see my nose soon!!! Cox i think the tip will be really.. Tippy? Lolol. On the 7th day i'd be able to see it ^.^ Oh if you notice like little clear plaster on my face.. Those are the point where they inject the fats into. It'd recover in less than two weeks and wil disappear. Kinda like pimple.

BE WARNED, NEXT PICTURE A BIT GROSS.

. . . . .

. . . .

. . .

. .

.

So the opening is at the columella. And then they insert the implant after they file off the hump on my nose bridge. Before all that, they'd shave all your nostril hair off. It's awesome. I mean the part about shaving all my nostril hair haha. My nostrils look clean for quite a few days lol.

Pumpkin juice that's great for deswelling ^.^ Also medicines that they pack into morning, noon and night for their patients ^.^

I didn't want to tell the doctor of my allergy to antibiotics becox i don't know which kind i am allergic to and i always just try and then see how it turns out =X I know it's bad!!! But it has never kill me.

Lolol. Out of the many times i took antibiotics, only one time i ended up in the hospital cox throat got swollen also and it became hard to breathe. But other times it's just swollen eyes. Like this. LOL.

So!!! I decided to try it anyway haha. And turns out.......

Day 2 of Recovery

Really got swollen eyes O.O But but but..

You won't believe it but i didn't think that the swelling of the eyes was actually.. Swelling from the allergy O.O I didn't make the link. I thought it was just oh, my face is swollen from fat-grafting.. So i guess maybe some fats from the forehead got to my eyes.

I know, i am hopeless. They didn't operate on my brain, how did i manage to become more stupid after the surgery lolol. So for like the next 2 or 3 more days, i happily took the antibiotics still O.o

Josh went out to get me pumpkin porridge ^.^ It was freaking cold outside that day. Like maybe 2 or -2 degree Celsius i can't remember. He really took good care of me =') Thank you.. =))

Inside got like riceball, and some kind of wheat.. And lotsa pumpkin and porridge ah. I am sure it's very nutritious.. But it's sweet porridge O.O I don't know how to appreciate. Lol.

Day 3 of recovery

Can slowly see the shape of my face and I AM LOVING IT ALREADY!!!!!!!! =DDD Especially the forehead!!! And the chin!!! AND MY CHEEKS!!! All filled up!!! No more sunken hollow parts!

Shit man. If i never take the antibiotics, my recovery pictures will look slightly chioer lol. Without swollen eyes. But nevermind lah, the swollen eyes don't look very obvious, people will just think i am generally bloated lol.

Day 4 of recovery

Ahem.. I feel quite chio on day 4 lololol. Like the shape of the face really looking love!!! BUT..... This is also when people started saying i look like Michelle...... =____=" Lolol.

No offense.. But people do surgery usually want to look like celebrities / models. Nobody wanna look like their bff one okay. Lolol. Oh by the way, i stop taking the antibiotics at night.

Michelle say my doctor might have spotted her on the day of surgery and thought to himself "Oh what a perfect face, i am very inspired! I shall make my patient look like her!" That, or she say the translator might mistook when i say "This is my bestfriend" as "I wanna look like her" Lolol.

Day 5 of recovery

Day 5 i look like Baby Yurou what the heck. Lolol. Not that it's bad to look like a baby but Baby Yurou also not pretty hahahaha. She's the cutest to me but.. You know.

How, really got a bit look like Baby Yurou right. Lolol. Or more like Michelle =( Lolol.

Day 6 of recovery

Face not so swollen anymore =D

Plus i can smile a bit more liao haha.

Day 7 of recovery (Stitch removal day)

Breakfast at the hotel before i go have my stitches removed! =D I LOVEEEEE the salmon!!! Got like deep-fried garlic on top one omg. It was heavenly. I had like 4 big pieces.

Then Mich came to find me to accompany me to remove stitches and for my final consultation with the doctor to make sure everything's okay =D

And this is how i look on day 7. Really super love my face shape now!!!! Sooooo much better than previously, which was all like uneven and angular. Now it's filled and soft! =D

It also soften my cheekbone and jawline a bit i feel!!! =D Look less manly. Will show you before and after pictures soon!!! Stay tuned!!! Cox..
