I’ve always really disliked my face shape, so I kept wanting facial contouring surgery, and this time I had it done at a clinic in Gangnam! Today is day 6, and I want to share what I’ve felt over these 6 days.
First, from day 1 to day 2, I thought I wasn’t that swollen, but it was the period when sleeping was the most uncomfortable and I felt like I was going to die. I had rhinoplasty at the same time, so I couldn’t breathe through my nose at all. After sleeping for just 2 hours and waking up, I would think, “That was a good sleep.” Because I had to breathe through my mouth, my throat hurt a lot, like I had pharyngitis, and bloody phlegm kept coming out. I didn’t even think about food, and I barely ate one soy milk a day just to take my medicine.
On days 3-4, the swelling was truly enormous. Every time I looked in the mirror, I felt like I was going to cry, and I felt very depressed. Still, maybe because I got a little used to it, my appetite came back, so I ate a lot of custard cakes, porridge, Jolly Pong, and things like that melted in milk. At night, breathing was really, really uncomfortable, so I couldn’t sleep even more and kept waking up at dawn. It was an uncomfortable period.
On days 5-6, the cheekbone swelling gradually went down a little, but it was still puffy, and when going outside I absolutely couldn’t go without a mask. My speech is still slurred, and my mouth opens only wide enough for one finger horizontally. My appetite is huge, so I’m melting and eating things like Ssalddobap and soup.
I hope the swelling goes down quicklyㅜㅜ
