Day of surgery: My surgery was at 10 a.m., so I went to the hospital by 9, changed clothes.. washed my face.. paid the remaining balance, briefly met the consultant and the director, and went straight into surgery They said it was 3 p.m. when the surgery ended,, and that I could drink water 3 hours later, but the problem was that even when I got up to go to the bathroom, I felt nauseated and like I was going to throw up. So they told me not to drink water for now either From 3 a.m.,, they said I had to have the blood drain removed in the morning, so no water again, so I couldn’t drink Everyone said their throat hurt, so I was worried about my throat, but I suffered because of my nauseated stomach.
Day 1 after surgery: In the morning, they removed the bandage, removed the blood drain tube, and stitched the inside of my mouth. It stung They put the compression band on me, so I wore it.. and I was discharged, taking a taxi by myself. My lips were so swollen that I could barely eat only drinkable things... and I took my medicine.
Days 2-3 after surgery: The swelling gradually reached its peak, and my lips cracked with scabs,,,, I could only barely move my mouth.. Every dawn I woke up because my face felt so heavy, so I wore the compression band and walked in place.
Day 4 after surgery: I woke up at dawn again that day and ended up taking one more painkiller.. My condition wasn’t good, and then my period started that day too, so my condition was terrible. I visited the hospital at 12 noon, received the shampoo service, and they disinfected the stitches (sideburns + inside the mouth). But they didn’t remove the sticker on my chin.. They said they’d remove it when I come at the one-week mark~ I wanted to take it off quickly.. And they told me to use the compression band only once at night. They said it can actually interfere with the swelling. * I blended porridge in a blender and drank it like thin rice gruel for the first time *
Day 5 after surgery (today): It didn’t swell more than yesterday, but it hasn’t really gone down much either. The hospital told me not to wear the compression band during the day, so I’m not wearing it,, and since I don’t have bruising, they told me to do cold compresses instead of warm compresses, so I place it on my chin from time to time.. As expected, I woke up at dawn again today,, and went for a walk around the neighborhood at 5 a.m. Since the swelling in my lips won’t go down, even eating porridge is hard, so I’m mostly just drinking things.. I lost 3 kg * Made steamed egg, crushed it with my throat? and swallowed it. The inside of my mouth is very swollen and chewing is impossible lol *
