After I remembered using this community as a reference before surgery, so I thought leaving a review too might help, so I'm writing! The photos were taken on day 8 First, I had surgery last Monday, a week ago, and time passed faster than I expected
For supplies, the place where I had surgery gave me a care kit(?), so I didn't separately buy things like a tongue cleaner, baby toothbrush, ice packs, or a compression band. What I prepared was pumpkin juice, New Care (this is seriously the tastiest and the best), and I bought porridge too, but making it at home saved money and tasted better. Oh, and paper cups and teaspoons are absolutely necessary! I also used toner pads very usefully because I couldn't wash my face for a week
On the day of surgery I stayed hospitalized for one day, and the facilities were nice and it was a private room, so aside from my body feeling exhausted, it was okay. I was extremely thirsty, and I drank water 4 hours after surgery lol This was really hard And it hurt a lot, but honestly sleeping was the answer. I kept sleeping and waking, sleeping and waking, and when I woke up I just went back to sleep because it hurt The next day they removed the blood drain, and it was really over in an instant, but I can't forget that feeling,, chilling and strange,, When the anesthetic gas was leaving after surgery or when I was getting antibiotics(?), I felt nauseated and like I would throw up, but thankfully I didn't. Phew^^ And the nurses and the director were super kind,,, I absolutely do not regret choosing this hospital. Since people might misunderstand me as a broker, I'll keep the hospital name private
After discharge, I came home and just slept, drank New Care, ate porridge, and rested well. They say walking a lot is good, but it rained too much until day 3, so I couldn't go out. I only walked back and forth at home
Day 3-4: it really hurts, but the swelling is also incredible I just ended up thinking, time, please pass quickly,, Is there even any point to drinking pumpkin juice and walking?
Day 5-6: it was fascinating to feel the swelling had gone down, but I was still swollen. My face was taped too, so I couldn't go anywhere except right in front of my house If the compression band felt too stuffy, I wore it and took it off on and off
Day 7 (sideburn stitches removed + facial taping removed) I wore a mask and briefly went around here and there Once the tape stuck to my face was gone, I felt like I could live lol When they removed the tape, seriously, without even 1 bit of exaggeration, it was the worst pain I experienced after surgery. Like enough to make me tear up? Seeing my face after definitely removing the tape made it feel real that I had surgery. Even though I was swollen, my cheekbones were gone and my jaw had become round. Good I wanted tteokbokki so badly that I cut it small and ate it lol sob
Day 8: definitely, walking a lot made the swelling go down a lot In the evening I put on makeup and met a friend, and they said I looked much younger and it turned out well. Because of the intraoral stitches, eating is uncomfortable and smiling is hard, so I want to remove the intraoral stitches quickly too
The pain that remains now is from the intraoral stitches, so I'm taking painkillers every day My cheekbones are okay, but my jaw is still swollen, so it hurts a bit when touched, but it's still bearable I'm worried because they say removing intraoral stitches really hurts
Still, I absolutely don't regret having surgery, and what I think now is that if you're thinking about facial contouring, doing it even a little younger is best Of course you should research well and decide carefully, and since there's a saying that cheap things are cheap for a reason, think it over if it's too inexpensive I've done my nose twice, but I don't think I could ever do facial contouring twice lol
