Before before before before after after after after after after The reason I decided on cheekbone surgery Since I was young, my constitution of not gaining weight even when I ate and my naturally large cheekbones were complexes for me. Whenever I looked in the mirror, the broad-looking facial shape caused by my large cheekbones and the resulting hollow cheeks always bothered me and stressed me out.. People around me often said things like, “You should eat more,” “You look sick,” and “You look like you have a strong impression,” so I ate a lot and tried gaining weight too,, I also heard that fitness or exercise is the best for low self-esteem, so I worked out hard, but a complex doesn’t go away easily.. So I decided to have cheekbone surgery!! Rather than living with constant stress, I thought it would be better to get cheekbone surgery! So after a long period of thinking, I ended up getting cheekbone surgery~
The reason I chose Iyu Oral was first because I found out about it through a friend, and it was the hospital my friend recommended! Unlike other hospitals, they focus mainly on bones such as facial contouring and double-jaw surgery, and compared with the doctors and consultants at other hospitals, they explained things in more detail and better. When I asked questions about the surgery, they answered right away, so I trusted their expertise about bone more haha
Day 1 after surgery The swelling was worse than I expected…. The director said the major swelling would go away around the 1-week and 1-month marks, so all I could think was that I wanted that time to come quickly..
Day 2 Only a little discomfort when swallowing? remained, and I felt like I was gradually getting better than I expected
Day 3 When I woke up in the morning, my eyes and face felt heavy, so as soon as I got up, I applied cold compresses. It felt like I was more swollen than yesterday. They said I had to keep wearing the compression band consistently until day 3, so I was doing it, but the swelling was seriously at its peak Still, they said I only needed to endure a little longer, so I held on..
Day 4 Compared with the first day, it seemed like a lot of swelling had gone down, and the swelling around my cheekbones had also gone down quite a bit, so it felt less heavy. It was a little hard because of the compression band, but I was happy that I could finally wear it with breaks in between…
Day 5 Since I had been eating mainly liquid foods for 5 days, I had no energy, got hungry soon even after eating, and it was already day 5 of not washing my hair. I really wanted to wash my hair and also wanted to wash my face properly and feel refreshed!
Days 6/7 Starting around the afternoon of day 5, the swelling began to go down little by little, and by the morning of day 6, the swelling had gone down quite a lot. The bruising was also improving, so it was gradually becoming lighter and yellowish, and since I had reached my limit with not washing my hair, I just went to a hair salon and got a shampoo. It felt seriously refreshing..
At 2 weeks, I visited the hospital to have the stitches inside my mouth removed~ First, I received a swelling laser treatment, and after that I had the stitches inside my mouth removed and the inside of my mouth disinfected. Maybe because the wounds inside my mouth had healed well, unlike the intraoral disinfection at week 1, it didn’t hurt, and instead it felt refreshing Removing the stitches hurt less than I expected, and other than a ticklish? feeling, there wasn’t anything else.
Now it has been one month, and although the major swelling has definitely gone down a lot, some swelling still remains. They said the bigger swelling will gradually go down from now on, so I’m not particularly worried. Until week 3, I mainly ate liquid foods, but these days I’m eating soft foods that are easy to chew, like bread, rice, and rice noodles, and compared with weeks 1-2, I’m so happy that there are more things I can eat!! Director Kim Jong-yoon said that until the 2-month mark, I still need to be careful with eating and chewing
Even though only one month has passed, I’m really happy that my large cheekbones are gone, and I’m looking forward to seeing how I’ll change as the major swelling goes down!
