Before<Before>After<After>After<After>Hello I think many people worry a lot in the early stage after surgery, so I’m writing a few words based on my experience. When it had only been a few days after my surgery (45 + side cheekbones), I practically lived in front of the mirror every day. I think I worried the most before the bruising and swelling went down. Because of the swelling, I wondered whether the surgery had gone well, and I couldn’t make out my facial line. The hardest things after surgery were sleeping while sitting up, feeling frustrated because I couldn’t open my mouth well, and not being able to eat delicious food? But I think from week 4, I ate pretty much everything except tough foods. The swelling steadily went down until month 6 (even around months 2-3, people around me said something looked different), and after that, I think it settled into the face I have now. Opening my mouth and things like that feel so natural that I forget I even had surgery, so I’m not conscious of itㅎㅎ It’s been a long time since the surgery, but I don’t have cheek sagging either. I had thought that even if the surgical effect was subtle, I just wanted it to be done safely. As a result, it wasn’t dramatic, but more like it improved naturally and well? That’s how I’d put it. For those who haven’t been long since surgery, don’t start by worrying too much about whether the surgery went well or failed. (If there are noticeable abnormal symptoms, definitely go to the hospital..) If, when you went in for follow-up, the bone was healing well and all that, from then on it’s a battle with swelling and time, so spend your time with a positive mindset.
