It has been 3 months, so I am writing a review of that time.
Day 2 - Falling asleep was the hardestㅠ My throat was swollen too, so even swallowing water was hard. After about a day, a very slight sensation came back to my lips. Even when a cup touched my lips, I could feel, ah, a cup is touching my lips, I can feel myself drinking water. Before discharge, the hospital took very careful care of me, so I was discharged safely. After discharge, I went for light walks and kept doing ice packs while I was at home.
Day 3 - I felt tingling along my jawline and thought I would be more swollen tomorrow, so I slept while doing cold compresses. When I woke up in the morning and looked in the mirror, I thought, how pretty am I going to become to be this swollen? Because my jawline was being compressed tightly, the tight feeling in my jaw was considerable, and my lower lip naturally protruded more, but it was dry, so I applied Vaseline!
Day 4 - I was more swollen on day 4, and the swelling around the cheekbones came up, so it was hard. Both sides of my eyes were bruised, and my eyes would not open at all. I desperately wished time would pass quickly, and I also wondered if the reason the swelling was not going down was because I was not walkingㅠ
Day 5 - I felt the swelling go down slightly. My mouth would not open, so in my case I carefully had only pumpkin juice and water.
Day 6 - When I woke up in the morning, it felt the same as day 5, and the swelling had not gone down. After going to the hospital and having the bandage removed, I felt alive again.
Day 7 - I did feel the swelling gradually going down. I could brush my teeth, and chewing became more comfortable. My cheeks felt like I was holding candy in them. The sensation in my lower lip and chin was dull.
One month - A lot of the swelling had gone down, and I could see that my face shape had become noticeably prettier than before! Still, my cheeks felt swollen, and the sensation in my right sideburn and temple area, which had been numb from earlier, had not fully returned yet, but I did not regret having the surgery. Heh After surgery, from when my mouth would not open, I felt my lips had shifted to one side, so I told the director. The director checked my progress carefully and reassured me, saying it would come back and I did not need to worry. As the director said, by one month after surgery it had improved a lot. When I do my makeup, the surgical areas hurt a little when tapped, but I can feel them gradually getting better. Except for these small pains, I was satisfied starting from the one-month mark! I became able to pull off any hairstyle, and even when the wind blows, I do not mind it. It feels like even that wind is blowing in to make me stand out.
3 months - My face shape has changed noticeably, so I am freely doing the hairstyles I want without covering my jaw and cheekbones. As time passes, my contour becomes more defined, so I am spending happy days! The sensation in my jaw and cheekbones, and pain such as when opening my mouth, seem to have almost become dull. Compared with before, there is a little discomfort, but compared with right after surgery, it is very comfortable! When applying makeup, tapping my face with a puff used to hurt, so I did it gently, but now I am happy that I can pat firmly haha It has only been 3 months, so I guess I will know more as more time passes, right? lol
