I had consultations at 5 clinics. ㄷㄷㄹ, ㅅㄷㄹㄹ, ㅇㅈ, ㄱㄹㅎ, ㅌㅇ Three clinics recommended doing only the cheekbones. Two clinics said square jaw surgery would not have a major effect but would make the face slightly softer, so since I was already going through the pain, I decided to do the square jaw at the same time. Personally, I tended to trust ㅇㅈ because of reviews and recommendations from people around me, so in the end I paid the deposit at ㅇㅈ on the same day and had the surgery just one week after the consultation lololol I told my parents afterward lolol It is a famous, large clinic with many patients, but I heard some people get side effects even years after surgery. Since you never know when side effects might suddenly happen, I had the feeling this was the kind of clinic that would still be there then? That’s why I chose it~ The consultant was really pretty, had a great personality, and was easygoing. She told me about her own experience and how much effect I could expect, and she honestly said that because my head shape is large, it would not be dramatically effective, but it would definitely look softer. That made me decide. I had it done by Director ㅂㅇㅈ, the chief director. On the day I was discharged, I was really swollen, but he said I looked pretty even while wearing the compression band and said the surgery went well. I felt really relieved then. It is day 5 after surgery, and because of the dreaded swelling on days 2-4, my family teased me and called me Dooly, but today I can definitely see it getting better. I had the bandage and taping removed the day after surgery before discharge. I have a tape allergy, so my skin rises up as if it has been burned. So when I opened my eyes, I was in the recovery room, and there was nothing that could be done on surgery day, but they removed everything the next day~ It was so hard until day 3 because it throbbed ㅠㅠ And the sore throat from general anesthesia!!!!!! That was the hardest part. If it weren’t for that, I could do it again if someone told me to. I wore the compression band all day on the first and second days. From day 3, they told me not to wear it while sleeping or eating, so I don’t~ They told me to wear the compression band loosely only during the daytime for a week, so that is what I’m doing. I bruise easily, so bruising is coming down around my cheeks and neck. There is no swelling around my eyes, but the swelling in my front cheeks and lips is really ㅠㅠㅠ My lips look like the fish monster lips from Dooly. For cleansing, I gently foam-cleanse every day, and because it hurts, I only apply toner and spray a lot of mist. But because of the swelling, the dead skin is getting thick and cracking ㅠ My lips peeled completely once. Now all that’s left is for the swelling to go down. For compresses, I did cold compresses until day 4, and from today I am doing warm compresses + cold compresses. For food, on the first and second days I survived on soy milk, banana milk, Jetty, and pumpkin juice. Maybe because I didn’t do the chin tip, from day 3 I could eat beef porridge, pumpkin porridge, red bean porridge, spoonable ice cream, and cake without pain. On day 4, I cut jjajangmyeon into small pieces and ate it with a fork lololol I really wanted jjajangmyeon so badly ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Today, day 5, I ate steamed eggs for breakfast, and for lunch I had scorched-rice soup with marinated crab! For those having a hard time because of food, I recommend marinated crab!!!!!!!!!! Wear plastic gloves, separate only the meat, and eat it with porridge or scorched-rice soup. It’s soft and goes down easily. I recommend it the most! I want to get the stitches inside my mouth removed quickly and eat meat ㅠㅠㅠㅠ What I felt after surgery is: maybe because it’s a surgery that doesn’t involve implants, the pain is bearable, but not being able to eat is so hard. About that? lol I’ll post another review. To everyone who had surgery and everyone considering it, Happy New Year~~
