I'm not very good at counting dates..-_... I guess this is what laziness does... I had surgery on the morning of the 17th, so I think as of today it's been almost about 3 weeks... right? Anyway, maybe because I kept getting compliments that I really didn't swell much after surgery, I really didn't swell much... The side angle showed fully after about a week... After a little over 2 weeks, the swelling in my cheekbones went down enough that the side of my face looked flat, and I really thought, oh, I did get my cheekbones done. And from the front too, you can tell the jaw area has become slimmer.. Overall, I'm satisfied with the surgery... Of course, there is still a little swelling around the sides of my nose and below that, so it has a slightly plump feel... I think it will take about two or three months for it to go down completely.... And I sometimes feel a slight stiffness in my face.. (My jaw doesn't hurt at all, but the cheekbones, as expected... I think they'll take a long time to fully heal..) And sometimes I get a throbbing kind of pain.. (They said this is a good thing.. that it's sensation coming back...) Sensation has almost all returned too.. (Actually, from the beginning, only the front chin area and cheekbone area were slightly numb... there wasn't any area where sensation was completely gone...) Um... Honestly, I really love jjimjilbangs... but I didn't go after surgery because I thought overdoing it would be bad, then I went with my mom the day before Lunar New Year... But when I go into a sauna, I have a habit of sitting there so long that I outlast all the ladies who practically live there... I sweated for a really long time, and within those few hours, the swelling in my face went down dramatically... It's not good to overdo the sauna too much, but I think going once in a while would be really nice... But.. what I'm worried about now is that my mouth won't open much at all..-_ Actually, from about a week after surgery I was chewing and eating kimchi and everything..-_ But... at first after surgery, I could force in up to two fingers, but now only about one and a half fingers fit..-_ Is opening this little at 3 weeks after surgery too little? People who only had jaw surgery seem to open their mouths well..-_ For those who had jaw and cheekbone surgery, from when and how much could you open your mouth well? Does it gradually get better? Yesterday I was really trying to stuff lettuce wrap into my mouth..-_ I wanted to cry..-_ If only my mouth opened, it would be perfect now... I wonder if I should practice opening my mouth separately...-_ I've been a little worried about this lately...;;; How is everyone opening their mouths?
