It is almost week 5 since I had cheekbone surgery. Last time I left a review up to week 3, but there have been some changes since then, so I am writing again.
I was really worried because the cheek hollowing became severe. This part is still there, but it has faded, so it is to the point where I do not really pay attention to it..? It is still hollowed thoughㅠ
The swelling is almost all gone now, but my temples are still swollen, and the scars near the sideburn area have faded a lot, but they are hardened like scar tissue. They say this takes a few months ㅠㅠ Until last week, I could hear faint clicking sounds, but now I do not hear them, and my mouth opens very comfortably!
As for the effect, my face has become smaller, but because of the temple swelling, I do not know if it is a dramatic change yet. When I take photos with the basic camera, my face comes out looking softer..? But cheekbone surgery itself does not seem to reduce the size of the face; it just seems to refine the line. I did not have much 45-degree cheekbone prominence, and my side cheekbones were the stressful part, so I am not sure about the 45-degree effectㅠ Also, since my face is naturally very round, doing cheekbone surgery has not made it slim or anything haha. If you have questions, please leave a comment or send me a message. I was anxious until the one-month mark too, so I came into this community every day and wrote posts, but time really is the medicineㅠㅠ Do not be impatient. During the recovery period, it is natural to look worse than before, and to look like you gained weight. The effect gradually appears from about one month later, so do not worry!
