Review of days 6-8 after 2 types of facial contouring (cheekbones + chin advancement) + suture removal

Day 6 The swelling went down quite a bit, but the bruising got darker The areas around my mouth and under my eyes turned yellow, like a dog that secretly ate tangerines... I guess sensation in my chin is slowly coming back, because it feels slightly itchy/tingly. When gargling and brushing my teeth, bloody phlegm started coming out. Since it was dark reddish, I think it was pooled blood coming out. For meals, I ate porridge and tried regular food too..! Rice is still a bit hard to eat, but when I cut pasta into very tiny pieces, it was easy to eat. Thin fries were possible too! I could also drink carbonated drinks. The area under my eyes hurts intermittently, but it is tolerable. The incision areas at my sideburns felt slightly tight at times. When showering, I could not exfoliate my face, so it felt frustrating Day 7 The swelling went down a lot, but I still need a mask. The bruising got darker and the yellow discoloration went down to my neck. I went to work, and except for sounding a little slurred, everything was fine. The tip of my chin became a little more itchy/tingly. Maybe I irritated it a bit while brushing my teeth, because the sutured area bothered me slightly. And whenever I brushed my teeth, maybe pooled blood was coming out from the sinuses, blood clots came out. I was shocked... It did not hurt..! The sideburn area stings intermittently. Not enough to really bother me. Showering is still frustrating I want to scrub my face hard Day 8 I got my sutures removed!! I was scared and got it done while trembling. The lower teeth area hurt very slightly, but I think I trembled more because I was scared than because it hurt. Pressing that area with suction hurt more than removing the sutures. The upper teeth area did not hurt much, though it stung a little. The left side did not hurt at all, and the right side hurt a little more. The sideburns truly did not hurt at all. Overall, pain that would not quite make me cry? It is not that it did not hurt, but it was manageable. I feel like I could do it about two more times. I said, “I am being really dramatic, right..? Sorry,” and they said, “Oh, there are many people worse than you^^.” It was the nurse who took care of me on surgery day, and she is really an angel She was so kind. I received aesthetic care at the hospital, and because it had been a while since my face was stimulated, even a little pressure made me groan. It was not painful, but I was scared... Since she was experienced, I figured she would take care of it properly and endured it. But after getting some facial massage, the swelling definitely seemed to go down a bit, and I felt more comfortable. I received radiofrequency, LDM, and a modeling pack. I made egg fried rice, but plain rice is still a little difficult. I could eat soft bread or fruit. Showering was easier than yesterday, but still frustrating. The bruising became slightly lighter. If it were not for the bruising, I think I could go around without wearing a mask. My face shape has become almost similar to before getting facial contouring.
