I’m now a little over 2 weeks post-op. My condition has gotten a lot better, and I think about 70% of the swelling has gone down. If I hadn’t had liposuction, I probably would feel like almost all of it was gone, but because of the lumps from the liposuction, I think it’ll take a long time for everything to go downㅜ
A few days ago, I had my intraoral stitches removed. Since the 2-week mark fell on a weekday, it felt like such a waste to take a half day off to go to the hospital then, so I asked the dental clinic I usually go to, and they said they could remove the stitches, so I went. But seriously, ha, it hurt so, so, so, so, so much. It felt like live flesh was being torn. As soon as I came out, I cried my eyes out.. because I felt upset, it hurt, and I was scared..
Because of that, I’ve become afraid of having the cheekbone pins removed.. since that would mean having intraoral stitches removed again..ㅜ I’ve had a tongue piercing and earlobe stretching before, but this hurt about 50 times more than those.. But once the stitches were removed, I could make facial expressions freely and eat without worrying, so that part is really nice..
Because of the wound from removing the stitches, I thought I wouldn’t be able to eat spicy food again for a while, but I was fine even after eating spicy food..ㅎ So I’m going to eat malatang tomorrow..
Right now, maybe because I’m recovering, the lower jaw area hurts with a slight tingling sensation. I hope the lumps loosen up quickly.. I’m also diligently getting radiofrequency treatment, but these days it’s such a hassle to do it
