It has been one month and two weeks, and I keep thinking about when I’ll be able to eat bone-in chicken feet..
As for swelling, only the big swelling that made me look like Anpanman has gone down. My face is still plump now, so it feels like I got facial fat grafting.
When people say the swelling goes down after about 2 weeks, they mean the really big Anpanman-like swelling goes down. It doesn’t mean your face will look good.
Even now, I still have about a moderate level of swelling.
Those planning to have surgery should set aside at least a month or more before getting it. After two weeks, daily life is possible, but that does not mean work life will go smoothly. Even more so if you work in service or especially meet people.
My job also involves meeting people, and I’m still embarrassed now.
They say pain differs by person, but for almost 10 days I felt like I was going to die, and even now when I wake up after sleeping, my cheekbones and jaw sometimes throb. Of course, that’s because I slept on my side.
After just 2 weeks, I could eat food normally, and by one month I was already eating chicken and hamburgers and there was nothing I couldn’t eat, but I was told not to eat dried squid, so I’m not eating it.
I want to eat bone-in chicken feet, but a member of our open chatroom told me to eat it later, so I’m holding back. That person had surgery about three years ago. They said that after about a year, the facial contour really settles properly.
Please note that your face doesn’t change dramatically right after surgery. If anything, I still look like a steamed bun now~!!
At the one-month mark, I went to see the bone images, and the bone had been shaved beautifully, so I feel relieved. But from the outside, my face is still plump..
