<Front, week 8><Left, week 8><Right, week 8>Hello, I’ve been a little busy lately.. I should have come back at week 7, but I’m a bit late, so I’m back at week 8 lol It’s just under two months, but I’m living really well without any side effects.
First, I thought people might be curious whether anything is different between week 5 and week 8, so I’ll write down my personal impressions. Honestly, for me, since everyone said their swelling went down quickly... after 2-3 weeks, I honestly couldn’t really feel whether the swelling was going down dramatically.. At week 5, it felt like the major swelling was all gone and only slight residual swelling remained. I definitely still felt quite a lot of swelling inside my mouth.
Now that it’s week 8, I have almost no discomfort, maybe about 90%? I’m relieved there’s nothing like nerve damage, but the remaining 10% is that there’s still a little swelling inside my mouth, so if I pay attention to it, I’m like, huh? it’s still there! That kind of feeling. Now that I’m at week 8, I think hard squid would be possible too.. but I don’t like it that much anyway lol
To write about my satisfaction with the appearance... I couldn’t remember, so I went back and looked at my week 5 photos. Since I see myself every day, I didn’t notice, but from the front, the swelling is worst on the left, and it feels like it has gone down very, very slightly?.. Now I can’t tell whether this is residual swelling.. or whether the skin has sagged
Even before surgery, the left side was a bit bigger, so I wanted to reduce it.. Since the left side still feels big, I can’t say I’m 100% satisfied yet.. But when I look at my pre-op front photo and my current week 8 photo, it does seem like it has definitely gotten smaller.. Still, since the left side is relatively still bigger, I’m worried..
Other things people asked about: For hard foods, the doctor said three months, but I personally think it might be possible at two months.
As for nosebleeds, there are a lot until about week 2 lol Enough that it feels like a hole was made, but by around one month they seem to stop. But they said it’s a normal reaction, so there’s no need to be too scared.
A lot of people ask about the cost. I wrote the cost down. Depending on the patient’s condition, the cost seems to vary. Still, if you’re curious, leave a private comment and I’ll tell you how that cost came out.
And most of the comments were supportive, so thank you so, so much for leaving comments lol I hope everyone is happy, and I really hope things go well for those who are planning plastic surgery too!! Next time, I’ll come back around the final week 10!! Be careful in the cold weather!! Bye
