<August 25 (beauty filter camera)><August 25 (regular camera)><August 21 (beauty filter camera)><August 21 (regular camera)>Before<Before facial contouring>Before<Before >After<After>It feels like just yesterday that during weeks 1~2 I was going around asking about this and that because of all my worries and anxiety, but I’ve already reached the 1-month mark, so emotionalㅠㅠ To be exact, it’s one month + 1 day
#Days 1~3 Honestly, I’m not sure the surgical area itself hurt. I wondered if I’d lucked out with no pain, but my throat and both sides of my lips hurt so much.. My mouth often tears even during dental treatment, so it was a familiar pain, but pain is still pain. Meanwhile, on the 27th I tested positive for COVID / my period started Worst condition.
#Days 4~8 The swelling is still.. bruising is slowly coming up too.. I couldn’t go for walks because of COVID / my period, and maybe because of that, it felt like the swelling had stopped improving.. Endless cold/warm compresses at home. After eating only liquid foods, in the evening I calmed my sensitivity with ice cream.
#Days 9~13 Released from isolation, but just in case, I had a consultation with the director on the 17th floor where there were no people. After the first stitch removal, the swelling started going down faster. The contour seemed to show a little, and I carefully tried porridge and regular side dishes. Endless walking / compresses
#Week 3 Compared to last week, the types of foods I could eat increased, and except for things like makchang, gopchang, and daechang, I could eat most meats, and also webfoot octopus and snacks. Teeth? Gum sensation seems to have all returned, and I’m slowly going back to my pre-surgery weight. From this point, I used a regular toothbrush
#Week 4 I can fit about three fingers in my mouth. I can eat tangsuyuk without peeling off the fried coating. Compared to week 3, the deep cheek bruising has faded a lot I tried skin makeup, and I can cover the remaining bruises. The swelling is at the level where, if I don’t say anything, people ask whether I had my wisdom teeth removed
#1-month visit on the 25th Even though I don’t know how to read CT scans, it looked so smooth and well-set that I could say there was almost no secondary angle. They trimmed the square jaw as I requested, keeping the lower mandibular angle as much as possible for the most natural look, and I’m most satisfied with the cheekbones
It’s only just week 4, so there’s still swelling, but I had so little fat to begin with and cheek fat was only something I dreamed of, so I’m actually grateful for this amount of swelling At the very end of week 3, I finally dyed my hair the black I wantedㅠㅠ Once the contour was refined from my broad, flat-looking face, my facial features that had been buried came alive, and my facial surface area and nose size? The overall proportions balanced out, and I’m really satisfied with that! To the point where people ask if I got my nose done too
#Sensation / Care If only the sensation in my chin tip returns, I think the major nerve-related parts are almost recovered? I’m still walking for over 30 minutes, doing warm compresses, half-body baths, and drinking over 3 liters of water (instead of pumpkin juice). Thanks to that, even my skin has improved, and I plan to keep doing it. It depends on the person, but water seems better.
