Before after afterAfter having cheekbone surgery, starting from one year after the operation, an unpleasant sour, aching pain began to appear intermittently. The hospital where I had the surgery said it was a natural phenomenon that can occur during the recovery process, and that sensitive people may feel this kind of pain more easily. I lived for 7 years thinking maybe I was just sensitive, but afterward the unpleasant sour aching happened more often, and after visiting neurosurgery and various hospitals, I received the opinion that I should try removing the fixation pins, so I began looking into fixation pin removal surgery.
I saw many comments saying that because quite some time had passed since my cheekbone surgery, it would be difficult to completely remove the fixation pins. I wanted to completely remove the fixation pins that could be the cause of my discomfort, and while looking for a hospital specialized in facial contouring and fixation pin removal, I found a plastic surgery clinic.
First, I met with the consultant and discussed my surgical history and matters related to fixation pin removal. She spoke kindly and warmly, so I was able to talk comfortably throughout the consultation. After that, I met the director, and it was good that he explained the surgical method and process in detail and also told me about the current condition of my bones. I was able to resolve all my questions.
When I visited the hospital, overall it was clean and quiet, which I liked. Also, all the staff were kind and helped me feel comfortable during the consultation and surgery, which was good.
Currently, there is throbbing pain around the cheekbone and surgical area, but I don’t have the sour aching feeling like before. After recovering more in the future, I hope both the throbbing pain and the unpleasant sour aching pain continue to stay gone. Swelling was the worst the day after surgery, and then it went down quickly, so it didn’t interfere with daily life.
