Zygoma type 1, a record of me rambling to remember it by

Even when there are lots of reviews for contouring types 2-3, there are only a few vlogs for zygoma type 1, and I couldn’t find anything that clearly wrote out the pain or what you must not do afterward (maybe I just couldn’t find it), so this is just a rambling record for myself to remember by. ------------------------------------------ From the front, it looked fine, but when I smiled or turned my head to the side, the 45-degree cheekbone that stuck out was insanely stressful. I agonized over whether to do my cheekbones or not more than 10 times and booked a consultation, but I was too scared to touch bone, so I canceled it But then someone I knew said, “You’d really look prettier if you just shaved a little off your cheekbones,” and I got hooked on that line and immediately booked again The first hospital was factory-style. I had counselor - doctor - counselor consultations, and the doctor even made PPT-like materials. Still, I don’t think I was really drawn in.. The price was good, and since it was factory-style I figured they’d have a lot of surgical experience. I thought, cheap is nice ~ and got persuaded by the counselor enough to even put down a deposit (I didn’t end up doing it at this hospital). The second hospital might have been a one-doctor clinic? Maybe both the counselor and doctor just didn’t match my style, so it didn’t leave an impact.. The third hospital was also counselor - doctor - counselor, and the doctor explained everything carefully and said he was confident I’d definitely see a change afterward. Most of all, a friend had cheekbone surgery there and the before/after difference was obvious, so it was the strongest candidate. Honestly, I’m just ignorant about plastic surgery and lazy about researching, so I ended up having surgery where my friend went. The technique and recovery period vary from person to person anyway.. ---------------------------------------- On the day of surgery, the doctor came into the operating room and, after looking at the photos I had sent (my desired look), said my lower eye socket bone was thicker than expected, so a high-L osteotomy would be needed I didn’t really know what it meant, but I just thought they’d do it well the way I wanted.. It was an incision at the sideburn and inside the mouth, so the hair at the sideburn area was shaved off -face condition- After surgery, I was so swollen that I could feel my cheeks puffed up There wasn’t pain yet, but I couldn’t open my mouth at all, and I had no sensation in my upper lip, nose, cheeks, or eyes. My face was wrapped in a compression bandage and I was wearing a face strap, so it felt super puffy.. When I got home, my face started swelling even more. Both eyes turned into triangular squinty eyes like a weak little character. Shit. I didn’t want to look in the mirror, but I kept looking all day Meals / I just put food in my mouth with a teaspoon and swallowed it. Lunch: pumpkin porridge after I got home from surgery Dinner: woke up in the early morning and ate Bonjuk vegetable porridge, the smoothest porridge (came like soup) After eating, I just kept doing water -> gargle. Still too scared to brush my teeth. Looking in the mirror, I could see a ton of bruising under my eyes and blood in my eyeballs. My upper lip still had no sensation. The cheekbone area felt kind of numb and had this unpleasant pain. The face strap was so damn uncomfortable that I just took it off and slept Wearing the face strap made it feel even more swollen, so whenever I remembered, I wore it for about 2 minutes and took it off, living like that. Maybe three times a day? Basically, you can assume I didn’t use it I asked the hospital and they said I had to wear it on the day of surgery. And I smoked an e-cigarette right after surgery. Day 1 - -face condition- Even more swollen than yesterday. My eyes were extremely puffy and the bruising was severe, purple I suddenly regretted getting contouring.. it’s too miserable I was so sad thinking I wouldn’t be able to eat for a while because I couldn’t open my mouth. I went to the hospital and had the incision inside my mouth disinfected. They checked whether blood had pooled They pressed on my cheek to drain the pooled blood. It was really painful. My gums felt numb and the pain was awful. Meals: breakfast pumpkin porridge, lunch vegetable porridge, the smoothest porridge! Couldn’t hold back and smoked two Relx They said I could brush my teeth with a baby toothbrush, so I plan to brush before bed.. * Medicines prescribed at the pharmacy * New Vein, two packets morning and night each day * Pumpkin red bean tea * Herb Chalk * On the Dot One Minute swelling medicine * Niar swelling candy I’m just stuffing in everything that’s supposed to be good for swelling and I’m still insanely puffy. They say days 2 to 4 are usually the worst for swelling, but why is time moving so slowly;; * The day right after surgery: disinfection inside the mouth, swelling shot, laser * On day 4 including the surgery day, I have to remove the compression bandage at home by myself * One week later I have to go to the hospital to remove the stitches inside the sideburn and mouth, so I booked mine for 8 days later! I’m so, so bored that I’m writing this. I should probably gather the 3rd and 4th day and write those too
