I'm back with a 2-week cheekbone review! I had surgery at 345 Plastic Surgery, and it has just been 2 weeks! It's only been 2 weeks, so the candy swelling and cheekbone swelling are still very full!! I wasn't expecting to become Karina, I just hoped my cheekbones would go in a little.. It's only been 2 weeks, but I'm so, so satisfied!!!
The front-facing photo was taken just now, and for the side photo, the one I took a few days ago showed it best, so I'm attaching it:) I did wear makeup, but I did absolutely no shading on my jaw or cheekbones!
I'll give a more detailed review by date.
<Post-op day 1 to day 4> After surgery, because of the general anesthesia, phlegm, coughing, and runny nose were as severe as if I had the flu Right after surgery, I desperately needed water, but they told me not to drink, so I followed the timing and drank. Still, until day 3, my throat hurt so, so much.. Similar to COVID symptoms.. And until day 4, I could only have liquid food (things to drink), so I had zero energy.. Maybe I overestimated myself, but I went straight back to work on day 4 and took a half day the next day If you have time, please definitely rest for a week..
<Post-op day 5 to day 7> From day 5, I could eat soft foods like porridge! And you must eat low-sodium & non-irritating foods! When I did that, my skin also got better I want to eat lots of tasty things, but.. it's good but not good.. Before then, I had been diligently using Betadine gargle too, but from this point on, since I started eating food, I used the Betadine gargle the clinic gave me even more diligently! They said otherwise inflammation could develop I also couldn't brush my teeth well, so I ended up relying heavily on gargle!
<Post-op day 7 to day 14> On day 7, I had the sideburn stitches removed, and since I kept doing cold compresses, the swelling went down really well during this period! Last Friday, I had the intraoral stitches removed, and the director said there is still a lot of swelling, and that from now on the swelling will go down more and I'll get prettier, so that made me feel good hahaha I also saw the CT scan, and the before-after difference is huge.. For the bone to heal and reach a stable period, it takes at least 3 to 6 months, so I'm not letting my guard down and am only eating soft foods!
