I had two facial contouring procedures and rhinoplasty on March 17~ I went in around 10 and came out to the recovery room around 4.
I didn’t have swelling, and maybe because the anesthesia hadn’t fully worn off, I barely had any pain anywhere.
As the anesthesia wore off, my face felt like it was throbbing ㅠㅠ Having to sleep sitting up was hard, and I barely slept.
Day 1 after surgery From then on, I started swelling a lot.
By day 2, I really couldn’t even open my eyes, and my mouth was swollen tight, it was a mess.
On day 3, after removing the nasal packing and taping, the swelling went down a lot~
Since I made sure to take painkillers 3 times after surgery, the pain wasn’t too severe~
From day 4, it was to the point where I didn’t need painkillers. There’s still a lot of swelling, so I’m wearing the compression band, but the compression band is hard ㅠㅠ
On day 5, it’s hard to open my mouth, so I’m only eating liquid foods, but I’m thinking of trying porridge.
They say your throat hurts because it’s general anesthesia, but for me, I barely had any throat pain~ I hope the swelling goes down quickly~ Please share any great tips for reducing swelling~~
