At first, I decided to have surgery because my friend had a similar face shape to mine, and after surgery it felt like she had a so-called completely newly carved face from the back of her head forward (my friend did her eyes too lol). So I went through her referral. I was originally going to go somewhere else, but just went to the place my friend went to.. On the day of surgery, I gargled in the hospital room and waited, talked with the anesthesiology director, and after that they put something like a sedative into my arm. After that, my memory is............ After that, they shook me awake and I got up, but I was really out of it. After some time passed, I came to my senses and was sitting there, and they gave me pumpkin porridge and ice cream. When I was eating it, it kept dribbling out, so they held a bowl under me (I guess almost everyone is like that). I have a big appetite, so I ate all of it anyway. Still, I think about half of it leaked out... In the afternoon I was discharged, and at home I stretched my legs out a bit, but from the next day it started hurting. Maybe because of the anesthesia, my throat hurt too... Why did it hurt like having a sore throat? And my jaw felt hard and tight, and I kept feeling something inside my mouth.. (scar tissue)... Until day 4 I looked really awful, but after a week, when the stitches were removed and I got injections too, it started to go down a bit. I looked kind of human... After that I think I kept going in for care, and the swelling went down noticeably week by week. As for eating, from around day 5 I cut ramen into tiny pieces and spooned it up.. After the stitches were removed, I ate meat too.. I really love meat As soon as my stitches were removed, I went to a barbecue place, asked for scissors, chopped it up, and ate it lol Now, in my eyes, about 70% of the swelling seems gone, but the clinic says there is still a lot left.. But I like how it is even now. My friends say my face has become the size of a fist. My body is slim, but before my face was big, so my nickname was Chupa Chups, and now they say my proportions match. They said I look about 6-heads-tall lol Thinking about the process after that surgery, it was a little hard, but they say joy comes after hardship, and these days I’m happy lol
