Before the surgery before the previous surgery My purpose when I first visited was my chin tip. I visited for the purpose of removing pins, and had a consultation. I had booked anterior chin pin removal, Rejuran, and Skin Botox at the plastic surgery clinic. After actually receiving the consultation, the questions I had only came to mind after I got home. The person in charge of me was the director, and the director said she had also had her cheekbones done at Girin, so I thought I could feel reassured, and when I got home and thought about it, I decided to have cheekbone surgery together while under general anesthesia. So I called the director and told her I would do the cheekbones together too. When having cheekbone surgery, about the compression band, swelling, meals, etc., I checked my questions one by one and asked over the phone, and she explained each one to me. Since I was going to be under general anesthesia anyway, my thoughts changed to having cheekbone surgery too. I wasn’t scared up until the surgery.
After surgery After surgery, when they woke me up, I was in the recovery room and the right cheekbone area started hurting. When I looked in the mirror, there was bruising under my right eye and it hurt a lot. My stomach felt very uncomfortable and I was nauseous. Until almost day 3 to day 4, my legs had no strength, and it was hard because phlegm and coughing came out little by little. On days 2 to 3, blood kept flowing from my right nostril. Almost none came from the left, and clotted blood came out. Currently, clear nasal discharge is coming from the right side, and I’m only wiping what runs out. When it comes out while I’m walking outside, I sniff the nasal discharge back in;
What is currently uncomfortable is that when I eat soft foods, the right side starts hurting. When I opened the left side of my mouth, it was okay, but on the right side, when I opened my mouth, the right side hurt, and it hurt when I ate on the right side. (rice gruel)~ Even just staying still, it feels like it hurts. On the left side, the area around my eye also feels stinging and seems to hurt. So right now, for the best possible result and recovery, I’m almost not opening my mouth. Even now, I’m just having bread that melts in my mouth, and I’m eating only rice gruel. These days there are many things I want to eat just by smelling them, and it’s not good because I can’t eat them. After surgery, I suddenly had a lot of random thoughts and felt fear, anxiety, etc. Because I couldn’t open my mouth, my face was very swollen, and the area from the cheekbones to the sides of my eyes hurt, so all kinds of thoughts came to me. It has only been a week, but I found myself thinking that I hope I recover quickly.
Things to prepare in advance before cheekbone surgery?!! Eat everything you want to eat as much as you want before surgery!! For people who work, about 3-4 days of truly comfortable rest is needed!! (The standard for recovery differs from person to person, but fortunately I recovered and went to work, though as expected, it was hard.) I don’t know how long it will hurt, but take the pain into account!!
