Bom Maru Clinic

I had two fat-grafting sessions at a trendy clinic and my face kept getting puffier; when I smile it looks like I’m wearing a mask. Friends joke that I’ve turned into the “steamed-bun spirit” from Journey to the West. Repair journey: Diagnosis: The doctor at Bom Maru ran an endoscope and found all the injected fat was clumped under the skin and inflamed. On the spot he decided on “fat aspiration + autologous-fat reshaping.” Surgery: The lipo stung a bit (my hand twitched during the local), but as he worked he said, “Look, this chunk is hard as stone—has to go!” Recovery: When the gauze came off I gasped—my face was a whole size smaller, though still slightly bumpy. After three RF-tightening sessions it now feels soft and squishy, and even my mom asked, “Have you been secretly dieting?”

Girls, I have to spill! Last year in Korea, I got talked into three syringes of filler for my cheek apples—ended up looking like steamed buns! Three clinics back home couldn’t fix it until my bestie dragged me to Bom Maru… Repair journey: Consultation: The director ran a handheld ultrasound over my face for ten minutes and said the filler had clumped and was mixed with talc (the cheap junk shady Korean shops use). He booked me a dissolver package and soothed me: “Don’t worry, we’ll melt it in three rounds.” Procedure: Laid down, got numbed with a needle thinner than a mosquito’s leg. The dissolving felt like dull pressure—totally bearable. I sat up and half the apple had already deflated! He said, “Tomorrow it’ll be even flatter.” Recovery: Day 3—face like a puffy pig, but it felt softer! Day 7—swelling mostly gone; still a bit loose, but no more dumpling cheeks! Now I’m on skin-boosters for tightening—my smile lines are finally back!

It was about 5 years ago when I got my first thread lifting done by Dr.Lee. The outcome was surprising and beyond my expectation. I have been a fan of him ever since. If you are looking for a face lifting expert, Dr.Lee is the one! The clinic is conveniently located near Garosu boulevard. It’s a boutique style clinic, and it may be slightly difficult to find the place tho cuz it’s in the middle of the busiest area of the town. It’s located on 3F, and facing Two Some Place.
