Wednesday 7/29 (day of surgery) - Surgery at 11, discharged at 8, took prescribed meds with honey water in the evening, wrote a review It’s literally just as I wrote in the review, so pass Cold compress, slept sitting on the sofa
Thursday 7/30 (day 1 after surgery) - Removed taping, disinfected intraoral stitches, removed pain-control IV, swelling injection, laser, took CT photos and scheduled follow-up (Saturday (day 3)) They said I was less swollen than expected! They said because they worked close to the eye bone, there would probably also be an effect of reducing the temple area. Actually, during the consultation I was going to do temple reduction surgery too.. but I had a hair transplant, so I felt burdened by a scalp incision and didn’t do it..ㅎㅋㅎ Breakfast/lunch/dinner: prescribed meds with honey water, cold compress It hurts a bit if I don’t take medicine. Took Tylenol about twice, 500 mg*2 Hungry ㅜ Slept sitting on the sofa with cushions supporting my head and back
Friday 7/31 (day 2 after surgery) They told me to come for aftercare today too if I could, but going from Haeundae to Seomyeon was too much of a hassle and I couldn’t manage it, so I gave up Rested while cleaning at home Breakfast/lunch: prescribed meds with honey water The compression band was pressing the area in front of my ears, so I had been living with tissues tucked in there, but it hurt so much that I loosened it a bit and stayed that way..^^ Cold compress And seriously....... I was so hungry that in the evening I ordered pho with my boyfriend, and because it wasn’t very swollen up/softened, I cut it into pieces in the bowl and swallowed it.. Ate Bibigo pumpkin porridge haha I mixed spicy sauce into the broth and ended up with my whole mouth sore, and my esophagus almost got irritated too. It hurt ㅜㅜ Spicy food is really not okay I like spicy food so I thought it would be fine.. Since there’s no sensation, it’s even more not okay Still, I was happy.. I can’t chew, it won’t chew Cold compress After dinner, took prescribed meds + iron magnesium D (one of the supplements I usually take)
Saturday 8/1 (day 3 after surgery) Morning honey water + prescribed meds My ears hurt, so I took off the compression band and slept elevated, and I got super swollen
Went to Seomyeon for CT follow-up and to see the director He said, huh, why are you so swollen today? I said my ears hurt so much that I took off the compression band, and he said I did well It showed perfect union, and the director was complimenting himselfㅋㅋ When I said, pardon..? he said he had done the surgery so well..ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I also said, well... I thought you would be good at it lol (I meant it) My biggest concern after cheekbone surgery was whether that firm cheekbone feeling from before surgery would be the same after surgery, and whether aging would occur As for the surgery, I just.. trusted him lol
He said my eye bones were thicker than men’s After comparing all the CTs, I really wondered why they were so thick The width was definitely corrected He told me to start warm compresses from today Honestly, there is no pain right now.
Went to the treatment room on the 8th floor and got a swelling injection They did a lot of swelling laser treatment for me. I’d only seen her twice, but she remembered me. There’s someone who is extremely kind, a bit plump with short permed hair.. I don’t believe in swelling lasers, but whether it was because of the injection or the laser, when I got home and looked in the mirror, the cheekbone area, I mean the rounded part, had gone down quite a lot, so I was like oh.. Still, the bruising, swelling, and upper-lip swelling are enormous
Lunch - pumpkin porridge + prescribed meds + calcium magnesium D
Cleaned the house with bleach, disinfected, ran the washing machine sanitizing cycle, and while ventilating the house, I went to Kyobo to buy gift wrapping paper, bought it, came home, wrapped the gift, finished cleaning, and for dinner!! Ottogi pho cup noodles (soaked until as soft as possible) + pumpkin porridge + prescribed meds + Aronamin C Plus (supplement I usually take)
I’m trying taking one supplement at a time.. When I was only drinking honey water, I held back because I thought putting supplements in my stomach too might make my stomach hurt, and now I’m trying them when I eat something like a meal
I poured a little cup noodle into a small bowl at a timeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋand drank itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I wondered what I was doing. Be careful with the temperature, I still don’t have sensation Honestly, reality hit me Why am I doing this.. But usually until day three it’s milk, thin rice gruel, or honey water, so my condition seems kind of okay..?
Still, there seems to be a lot of swelling left..
The director said the bones would start to fuse from the one-month mark I said I laughed a lot yesterday, is that okay?ㅜㅜ He saidㅋㅋ it’s okay, and told me not to open my mouth too wide He said hard foods are not allowed
I have an old-lady palate, so I don’t like tough foods
That’s it .. I wrote this while doing a warm compress I want to get the sideburn stitches removed quicklyㅜ You can see them even with a mask on..! Maybe I should let down some baby hairs..
It’s been 3 days and it’s healing well, so they said I can wash my hair starting tomorrow With my head tilted back, yes Tomorrow I’ll cover my whole face and go for a drive
That’s all..
