It’s day 5 after square jaw surgery, mandible contouring, and chin tip surgery. I’m more swollen than on day 1, and my chin area has become square lololol I take photos every day to see the swelling go down and check the results, but wow..... seriously lololololololol I can’t bear to look at themㅠㅠ I haven’t even changed clothes... everything feels like a hassle... I can’t really do outdoor activities, so I can’t go out during the day, and I’m embarrassed tooㅠㅜ so I walk for 2 hours at night.
For food, I’m not eating rice; I’m eating things like steamed egg custard (cooled down), castella (melted/softened), ice cream, soups, and porridge. I’m also gargling often. They said food shouldn’t get caught in the stitches, so I gargle, but even this is hard. I want to brush my teeth really thoroughly. So frustrating.
I have to wear the facial compression band diligently for a month, but it feels stuffy. But right now, if I take it off, it feels like my jaw is going to spill downward? Anyway, I don’t like taking it off because it doesn’t feel supported.
Ah! Around when will the swelling fully go down? Because my jaw area is swollen, my nose looks really bulbousㅠㅠㅠ Now that my nose looks bulbous too, seriously, what even is this... I want the swelling to go down quickly. That was my day 5 review!! I should take photos again today after a 2-hour walk.
