Hello. I previously posted reviews for day 3 and day 7, and today, on day 13, I went to have the stitches inside my mouth removed. I had the intraoral stitches removed, had swelling care.. and booked my next swelling care appointment. When the external stitches were removed, it didn’t hurt at all, but the intraoral stitches stung a bit.. For swelling care, I think they did the laser a little longer than on day 6..!(I liked it><)
As for swelling.. Now I can do most normal daily activities. I can go outside even without wearing the compression band.. (Oh, of course, because of the chin liposuction, when I’m at home I try to gently wear the compression band as much as possible. I think it feels better because it feels like it’s holding things in place.) Because of the chin liposuction, my lower jaw and front chin are a little firm, but I think they’re gradually softening. They’re softer than at one week, but still a bit firm It doesn’t look particularly problematic.
As for my mouth.. At maximum, I can fit 3 fingers in, and naturally, even with 2 fingers in, there’s a bit of space left.
As for food.. I originally used to chew hard, but now I’m chewing gently. Even if I chew gently, everything gets chewed and I can eat well.. Now that the intraoral stitches are out, I can eat food freely and I’m so happy When I had stitches, I was afraid they’d come loose while brushing my teeth, so I couldn’t brush properly. I only brushed my upper teeth with a toothbrush and just rinsed the lower part with disinfectant..
I thought the swelling in the square jaw area had all gone down, but the director said there is still swelling. Actually.. I wish it wouldn’t go down any more from here lol When there was a little swelling in the middle, it looked like I had fat grafting and I liked it better....
Honestly, about 5 years ago, when I was looking into facial contouring because of my complex about my square jaw, I thought since I was doing contouring anyway, I should do all 3 procedures, so I looked into 3-part contouring. Then time passed, and I wondered whether I should just do 2 procedures excluding the cheekbones.. As I mentioned in my consultation review post, the director said my front chin is not on the long side, and since my original complex was only my square jaw, I only did the square jaw. The swelling hasn’t fully gone down yet, but I like it. I have no regrets at all. I worried I might regret not doing the front chin because it might look long, but I think I did well not doing it!
Um.. now I don’t really have anything else to say;; I just hope time passes quickly and the firm areas from the chin liposuction soften up!
If you have any more questions, please leave a comment! ------------------------------------- Additional post) After eating, brushing my teeth, and checking inside my mouth, I can see about one white stitch on the left side.. At first I thought it was something foreign, so I tried hard to scrape it off, but it didn’t disappear, so I guess it really is a stitch sob sob... I asked via KakaoTalk, and they said it is an absorbable stitch, but if I want it removed, they’ll remove it during my next care session. What is this uncomfortable feeling...! I want to get it removed quickly.
