It was definitely hard right after surgery, but I've finally reached the one-week markㅠ Like the reviews said, by day 3 I swelled up a lot.. I was a bit shocked looking in the mirror in the morningㅠㅠ I felt pain too.. I endured it while taking painkillers. Especially, I guess I should say my face was throbbing I felt heat, so I used cold compresses all day
On day 4, I was even more swollen, but the pain started to decrease. I diligently used cold compresses and went for a walk in the evening too. My mouth opened more than I expected, so I ate pumpkin porridge from a convenience store. I couldn't wash my hair, so I felt grossㅠ
On day 5, amazingly, the swelling started going down. It really felt like I was personally experiencing the reviews I had read before surgery., Once the swelling went down a bit, I could see each surgical area one by one. The bruising wasn't severe, but I did have yellow bruising under my eyes. Oh, on day 5, I had my stitches removed and got a facial massage. The gross feeling from not being able to wash disappeared all at once They exfoliated, did a face pack, and shampooed my hair tooㅠㅠ I liked that they took care of everything thoroughly.
By day 7, the swelling really kept going down and the bruises faded too. My cheekbones had been a source of stress, but it seemed like the protrusion was gone. Even taking swelling into account, my face shape seems slimmer than before surgery, so I'm satisfied.
I think the swelling will go down more than it has now, and I'm going to keep taking walks regularly.. though it's raining today..ㅎ If you have any tips for recovering well, please let me know ㅎ
