Somehow, it’s already day 16.. I had cheekbone reduction, long-curve square jaw revision surgery, and chin setback!
Time is passing so slowly.. The swelling started making me look somewhat human around day 10.. Since then, there hasn’t been any major change yet.. The areas beside my mouth are puffed up like Dooly.. and my temples are bulging? a bit. Because of the mask, it doesn’t really show, so I can go around without much trouble.. Oh, yesterday on day 15, I went to get the intraoral stitches removed.. They said a little pus was coming out near my left molar, so they removed all except three spots.. After the Lunar New Year holiday, I have to go back to remove the remaining three points.. When they removed the stitches, I teared up.. They held my mouth open with something like an ice cream stick, and my cheek/mouth corner? hurt so much I thought I’d die... ㅜㅜ Until day 10, I was really thorough with water rinsing and brushing, but after day 10 I got lazy and just let it go, and this unfortunate thing happened..;;;;ㅠㅠ As for eating, I really wanted meat so badly that from around day 8, I ate boneless lean chicken by shredding it into tiny pieces like feeding a baby puppy and swallowing it.. Yesterday, I tore up a lot of pork belly and swallowed it like that too.. I’m still scared to chew haha, so I can’t chew hard yet. People around me still don’t say it looks much better than before because of the swelling.. I also have bruising on my face.. ㅠ My mouth and under my chin are all tight and numb.. I haven’t been able to do warm compresses much, so I’m trying to take lots of walks, and I’ve been sleeping sitting up for over 2 weeks.. If I sleep lying down, my eyes are definitely swollen in the morning too..
And I heard radiofrequency is good, so I bought a medical high-output radiofrequency device.. I’m planning to use it once every 2 days.. I only bought it yesterday, so I’ll use it for about 2 weeks and leave a review on whether it works. And the uncomfortable? things are: The 45-degree cheekbone area next to my eyes hurts when I close and open my eyes tightly, frown, or make big facial expressions.. My jaw also hurts when I yawn. haha The whole jawline hurts slightly when I touch it.. My chin tip is always numb.. and on my lower lip, the right side feels a bit numb and has no sensation.... So sometimes food or water rinse slightly leaks to the right side.. It’s only been about 2 weeks, and it’s not like I’m extremely uncomfortable, but for things like eyes or nose, the shape pretty much appears after about 2 weeks, while facial contouring takes a long time.. so it’s a little boring.. haha I hope the swelling goes down quickly so taking photos becomes fun~~
