As of today, it’s day 3. I had a retruded chin + long chin + very prominent cheekbones. My square jaw wasn’t severe enough to really need touching, but they shaved it down a little to match my chin.
I’m the type who usually doesn’t even say I’m in pain, doesn’t go to the hospital, and kind of enjoys(?) pain, but facial contouring was... oh my god.
On the first day, I couldn’t sleep at all, and the reviews saying you wake up every 10 minutes or every 30 minutes are true. Yesterday was somewhat better, but because of phlegm, I kept waking up worried I might die from apnea while sleeping ㅠ (I started snoring)
I don’t think the swelling is that severe. My lips close well, and I can speak well too! It’s just that the pain is so bad ㅠㅠㅠㅠ The cheekbone area doesn’t hurt at all, but the square jaw and front chin areas hurt a lot ㅠ My sore throat is also severe. I’m taking Tylenol.
Yesterday (the day after surgery), I went to the clinic, got a swelling injection, and received care. Tomorrow I’ll remove the taping myself, and next week I’ll get the stitches removed!
I hope the swelling goes down quickly.
