It hasn't been 24 hours since surgery
Overall, I'm doing okay lololol I did all 3 facial contouring procedures My face is, as expected, very swollen
At first in the recovery room, I didn't even know when I fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes, I was in the recovery room again lolol They didn't say they were going to start surgery, so I didn't even know I had surgery lololololololol I wasn't nervous, which was so nice
And for pain, during the first hour I thought it would be nice to get a painkiller injection, so I called the nurse and asked if I could get a painkiller injection, and they said the hospital doesn't have painkiller injections It's a hospital with no inpatient rooms at all (same-day discharge) So I said, ah, if you don't have one, it's okay, and just slept
Why didn't they tell me not to sleep for two hours..? I didn't hear anything about releasing gas or anything like that So I just slept hehe There was no blood drain either, so I slept really well
After sleeping for an hour, it was very manageable But because of lip filler, my lips swelled up huge, so my mouth wouldn't close and I couldn't speak properly The director and anesthesiology director came in and out a few times, told me the surgery went well, patted my head, and left Both of them are such sweet guysㅠ Some people say they get hurt because this director says a lot of very T-like things during consultation, but since I'm extremely T, I liked that his personality was very clean-cut After surgery, there are no sweeter guys than them
Before going into surgery, I repeatedly asked the director to shave as much as possible wherever possible, and for the cheekbones, the director also said it would be okay to set them in a lot, but for the jaw, he said there wasn't much to touch and that he wouldn't shave much His style is firm^^ So when the nurses were giving me injections before surgery, I again asked them to please, please tell the director once more to shave a lot.. and the nurses conveyed it again lololol But after surgery, he said no chance^^ asked if I wanted to end up with a dog-like jaw Instead, he said he shaved all the chin tip area that needed shaving up to the nerve line, so I liked that. I trust the director
Then they gave me ice cream and pumpkin porridge, but my mouth wouldn't open, so I barely ateㅠㅠ My throat was more tolerable than I expected too, so I didn't ask for water until they gave it to me
I thought, if the pain is this much, it's doable? But I did get quite sleepy So I kept sleeping on and off hehe No nausea or anything from general anesthesia at all I get motion sickness really easily, so why was that So I took the subway home
I guess pain really varies by person. I went in totally prepared, but it wasn't like an elephant? More like the feeling of a large dog stepping on me? My cheekbones don't hurt at all
But it does hurt a tiny bit more now than right after surgery At this level, it's fine fine
I have all sensation in my lips, and tooth sensation is good too I think the director is really good at surgery As he left the recovery room, he said, "I told you I'm good at surgery~" and left, so I gave him a thumbs-up
I'll know after taking off the bandage, but overall I'm satisfied
Oh, and I was going to ask this: they told me to take off the facial compression band at 3 a.m. now??? After that, they said not to wear the compression band ㅇ.ㅇ I'm happy about it, but is this okay.. How many days does everyone wear the compression band
