I had cheekbone reduction surgery today

Before <right before surgery> after <right after surgery> <on the way home> after <arrived home and slept for 5 hours> Today I had soft cheekbone reduction surgery at ㅊㄷㅁㅇㅁㄷㄱ. My surgery was scheduled for 10 o’clock. After taking photos, hearing the explanation, and getting prepared, I went into surgery around 11. I heard the surgery finished within 1 hour, and since it was sedation anesthesia, I woke up comfortably. When I woke up, my face was wrapped tightly in bandages, and I didn’t feel much in my face, but I felt like my head was spinning a bit. I rested for about 1 hour, bought and drank a cup of iced Americano, took a taxi home, and as soon as I got home I slept again for about 4-5 hours. When I woke up, it felt like the swelling had gone down a bit.. I guess I’m not the type to swell a lot. I don’t see any bruising either.. On top of that, my face doesn’t hurt much, and because the bandage is wrapped tightly, only my jaw hurts a little (super uncomfortable). Sometimes my head feels like it’s spinning. Should I say it feels like orthostatic hypotension?? Other than that, I felt so normal that I was confused. I just want to lie down flat, but not being able to lie down is the hardest part.. Maybe because it’s uncomfortable, I just keep getting sleepy. I went into surgery so scared, but I think the surgery ended well. I was worried because I’m older, but I’m so relieved that it actually ended well..
