Before <Before surgery><10 days after surgery><1 month after surgery><Most recent> It’s been over 7 months since I had cheekbone reduction + square jaw reduction + chin-tip surgery!
The hardest part for me after surgery was general anesthesiaㅠㅠ When people who had surgery said their throat hurt like it was being torn apart because of the general anesthesia, I honestly didn’t think it was a big deal... but once I actually woke up from general anesthesia, my head hurt so much and I felt nauseousㅠㅠ lol Maybe anesthesia doesn’t suit my constitution, but it was really hard for me.
Until day 3 after surgery, my whole face was swollen, so that was really tough, but aside from that, thankfully there wasn’t anything especially difficult during the recovery process. Of course, until about 1 month after surgery, I felt tightness around the cheekbone area, but after around 2 months it naturally went away. Now I can open my mouth to some extent too! Of course, I still can’t open it really wide haha
Honestly, the hospital where I had surgery was a bit expensive, so I thought about it a lot because it went over the budget I had in mind... So I did consider having surgery somewhere a bit cheaper, but I thought that if facial bones are handled incorrectly, it could be irreversible, so I had the surgery at the hospital I felt most drawn to.
Thankfully, the results came out well and I don’t have any other side effects, so I’m very satisfied. I’m also happy that the area I had a complex about for a long time has been resolved haha I know a lot of people look into facial contouring when winter comes, and I hope everyone has a successful surgery.
