As of yesterday it was exactly day 4, and today is day 5!
Day of surgery: More than pain, I felt disoriented and really thirsty. I think I kept asking if I really couldn't drink water. The surgery started at 2:30, and when I woke up I think it was around 4. I went alone, so I don't know the exact time. After I came to my senses a bit, I grabbed my phone, spaced out, and I think I got home around 6. After getting home, I was hungry, so I ate pumpkin porridge, gargled, took my medicine, and went straight to sleep.
Days 1-3: My lower lip swelled like crazy, hurt, tingled, and it was a whole mess... I could really feel it continuously swelling, but I hated the swelling, so I walked a lot, wore the compression band, and kept moving around while eating pumpkin porridge and juice. Until day 2 I didn't take off the compression band, but on day 3 I had to go to school, so I took it off briefly to go to school, then kept wearing it afterward. Still, my lower lip was swollen, so I couldn't pronounce words properly and it hurtㅠㅜㅠ
Day 4: Since I kept taking walks and went to school and talked, I can visibly see the swelling in my cheeks going down a bit, but my lower lip is still swollen and I look like a fishㅠㅠㅠㅠ I look like someone who got filler done badly... People around me say my voice still doesn't seem back to normal, but I think it's just because my throat and salivary glands are swollen. The lower jaw area feels itchy and tingly, but more than that, from the incision area to my lower lip is so, so, so, so swollen that it feels like it might burstㅠㅠ
