After <1 month after 2 types of facial contouring> Before <before surgery! My cheekbones were developed toward the front of my ears> Hello.. It has been such a long and difficult month! The hard time that felt like it would never pass has passed.. As you can see in the photos, my posterior cheekbones in front of my ears were developed At first, I went around for consultations intending to do only the cheekbones but 2 out of 6 places recommended doing 2 types, including the square jaw They said my cortical bone wasn’t especially large, but if I only reduced the cheekbones, it could look relatively more protruded., And they said 2 types are normally the basic option? So I thought I’d suffer all at once and did 2 types Cheekbones + cortical bone resection
First, my current condition is that the swelling has not gone down completely but it remains plump around the lower cheeks~ Still, compared to week 1, I’ve totally become human... In week 2, I had the stitches removed and my gums were all wrinkled The nurse said that would smooth out with time... but it’s still the same Someone said theirs had been cut off, so I’m a bit scaredㅠㅠ As for opening my mouth, if I put two fingers together upright, they just fit in I’ve also kept practicing opening my mouth The important thing is sensation It has been a month, but sensation has not returned even 1% From under my right eye to my upper lip, it feels completely like someone else’s flesh When I went to have the stitches removed, I told the director and they said it would come back... that it was because it was pulled during surgery but it’s still the same... The inside of my mouth feels completely anesthetized.. It also took 3 weeks for the bruising around my eyes after surgery to go away Swelling was the biggest challenge I kept walking around and drank five pouches of pumpkin juice a day, divided up My face changed day by day Later, the swelling gradually moved downward, and it also went down more slowly The swelling is going down unevenly too, so the two sides of my face look different.. lol It still needs to go down more, but time will be the medicineㅠㅠ
As for eating, now I can eat everything except things that are extremely tough I haven’t tried things like gopchang, but I can eat most meats! Except ones that got cold and tough They said it takes a month for the bone to fuse, so I think I still need to be a bit careful... Sometimes if I chew too hard, the cheekbone area hurts...
Still, my face shape has definitely changed, so I’m satisfied.. But the side effects are so hard..ㅜㅜ My face is numb too My expression when I smile is unnatural, and one side of my lip is slightly drooping If it comes back with time, that’s a relief, but it’s still the same so I’m scared..... sob sob For those who haven’t been long since surgery, I hope reading this brings even a little comfort.. I was also really struggling until week 2.. It was mentally hard too Because of the swelling, every time I looked in the mirror, I seriously wanted to tear my face off But after the hard time passed and the swelling went down, people also say I got prettier... so I’m somehow enduring the side effects... Strangely, my eyes seem bigger than before too Maybe they look bigger because the sides are reduced.... People around me said that too Now the happiest thing is that I don’t have to Photoshop my face shape when taking photosㅜㅠㅠ
Let’s stay strong ㅜㅜ To become prettier, we have to endure pain, Still, as time passes, I think we’ll be able to overcome everything I’ll also hang in there until the day when the swelling goes down more and sensation comes back... Fighting!!!!!!
