For many years, Kim Tu often felt a lack of confidence whenever she looked at herself in the mirror. Her face had relatively high cheekbones combined with slightly square jaw angles, which made her overall appearance look a bit rigid and less soft. Although her features were not overly harsh, whenever she took photos or looked at her side profile, Kim Tu always felt that her face lacked harmony—especially when compared to the slim, delicate facial shapes she often saw around her.
The idea of undergoing cosmetic enhancement had been on Kim Tu’s mind for a long time, but it took nearly a year before she finally made the decision. During that time, she spent a great deal of effort researching: reading reviews, looking at before-and-after photos of cheekbone reduction and jaw contouring procedures, and even messaging people who had undergone similar treatments to ask about their experiences. Her biggest concern was not only the pain or recovery time, but also the fear that her face might look stiff, unnatural, or obviously “surgically altered” afterward.
After careful consideration, Kim Tu decided to schedule a consultation at Saigon Venus. There, she was personally advised by Dr. Nguyễn Tiến Huy. From the very first meeting, Kim Tu felt a clear difference in the doctor’s approach. Instead of focusing on a single facial feature, Dr. Huy analyzed her face as a whole. He explained that the reason her face appeared rigid was the combination of high cheekbones and square jaw angles. Based on this assessment, he recommended cheekbone reduction combined with jaw contouring to create a more balanced and softer facial structure.
What reassured Kim Tu the most was that the doctor did not encourage excessive changes or dramatic transformations. Instead, he emphasized maintaining a natural look that would harmonize with her existing facial features and personal expression. After receiving a detailed explanation about the surgical techniques, the procedure itself, and the recovery timeline, Kim Tu decided to undergo both cheekbone reduction and jaw contouring in a single procedure.
In the first few days after surgery, Kim Tu experienced mild swelling, exactly as the doctor had explained beforehand. However, the recovery process went quite smoothly. With each passing day, she could see positive changes in her face: her jawline looked slimmer, her features gradually became softer, and her overall appearance appeared more delicate and balanced than before. The transformation did not happen suddenly but progressed gradually, which helped Kim Tu feel more comfortable and confident throughout the recovery process.
After about one month, although the final result had not fully formed and there was still slight swelling around the jaw area, Kim Tu was already quite satisfied with the current outcome. Her face looked more balanced, the cheekbones were no longer sharply prominent, and her jawline appeared more refined and natural. What made her happiest was the reaction from people around her. Everyone who met her was surprised by the change. Many complimented her for looking prettier and more harmonious, yet they could not tell that she had undergone cosmetic surgery. Some simply assumed that she had lost weight or that her face had naturally changed over time.
Throughout the entire recovery period, Dr. Huy closely monitored Kim Tu’s healing process and carefully guided her through each stage of post-operative care to ensure stable and safe results. The support team at Saigon Venus also regularly checked in, providing detailed reminders and instructions, which made Kim Tu feel well cared for and much more at ease.
At present, Kim Tu is still waiting for another three months for her face to fully stabilize and reach the final shape. Nevertheless, even at this stage, she already feels that choosing cheekbone reduction and jaw contouring was the right decision. Not only has it changed her outward appearance, but it has also helped her become more confident in communication, more comfortable taking photos, and more positive in the way she sees herself.
For Kim Tu, this was not simply a cosmetic procedure. It was an important milestone that helped her step into a new chapter—one where she feels more confident, gentle, and harmonious with herself.
