A review of cheekbone surgery from someone who had prominent cheekbones for 40 years, before and after My cheekbones had always bothered me, but I was too scared to even think about surgery. Then earlier this year, I happened to see my face in a photo, and I looked just like Rapunzel's stepmother. From that day on, I immediately searched for cheekbone surgery and decided on a hospital right away. I wanted to have the surgery as soon as possible too, so I asked the hospital, and everything moved quickly, and I had the surgery on February 2.
On the day of surgery, I was in such a good mood. Thinking that I was finally ending things with these cheekbones, I was not even nervous. The moment I woke up after surgery.... Hell I was so cold and in pain.. When I said I was cold, the nurse brought a heater and directed the warm air under my blanket.. I saw an angel♥
From day 3, it was a battle with swelling. I did cold compresses all day, and at week 2, I was praised because they said I had surprisingly little swelling.
Now that 4 weeks have passed, it actually feels like the swelling is worse than at week 2.. I think the cause is food. Until week 2, I only had shakes and porridge, but after my week-2 appointment I started eating regular meals, and with the sodium, the swelling seems to be getting worse. I had no pain except right after surgery. I sometimes feel a tingling sensation, and I am thinking of it as a sign that the nerves are coming back.
I asked for a smooth face shape rather than dramatically straight cheekbones.. and even now at 1 month, I can definitely feel the change. I am really looking forward to how I will look in 6 months.
