V.LIF

I recently had a forehead lift and platysma plasty at VLIF Plastic Surgery and am very pleased with my experience. I chose VLIF because they specialize in lifting procedures, and the examples of the doctors’ work all looked very natural which was very important to me.

Pre-op with Bella was smooth and informative. Her fluent English, warmth, and availability for questions made me feel that I was in good hands. The day I arrived in Korea, she was able to fit me into the schedule last minute for an in-person consultation with Dr. Shim. Dr. Shim was very warm and professional, and I felt comfortable and confident in his expertise.

On the day of the surgery, Bella greeted me, and I also met Sae, who assisted me throughout the day. After the usual preparations, I met with Dr. Shim again to discuss the procedure in detail before heading into the operating room. Sae was there to talk me through everything. They waited for sedation until Dr. Shim arrived, and a quick nap later I was done and recovering.

The post-op care was also excellent. Bella and Sae checked in on me regularly to make sure all was well. The first night was a little tough, but by day 3 I was feeling much better, and each day after brought improvement. The deswelling treatments provided in the aftercare were particularly beneficial. Each treatment including the deswelling LED lamp as well as a steroid iv drip- I truly think this is why I experienced a quick healing time. Each visit I came in for post op care, Sae was always there to warmly greet me and offer assistance.

Now at day 10, I’m very happy. Obviously, at only 10 days post op, there’s still swelling, but the results of my forehead lift are very natural, giving me a more youthful appearance and brighter eyes. While I'm still waiting for the full results of my platysma plasty to show, I'm seeing gradual improvements every day.

In all, my experience with V.Lif and Dr. Shim was very positive. The professionalism, efficiency, and care provided by the team were very impressive, and I have no regrets in finally taking the leap after years of wishing to have this procedure done. I highly recommend V.Lif Plastic Surgery to anyone considering any lifting procedure.
