It has already been about a month and a half since my surgery. At first, because of the swelling, I did not feel a huge difference, but these days I can clearly start to see that my face looks smaller and the lines look more refined. Before surgery, my face looked wide overall from side to side, and it had a strong angular look, but now the jawline connects more smoothly, and I think my overall impression looks much more refined. Especially from the side profile, I can feel the change in the line the most, so my satisfaction is quite high. After passing the one-month mark, the tightness and hard, stiff feeling I had in the beginning have also improved a lot, and movement of my neck and jaw has become much more natural. There is almost no discomfort in daily life, and there is nothing that bothers me much at this point. My mouth opening has not fully returned yet, but right now I can fit about two to three finger joints, so I am still being a little careful when eating hamburgers or large foods. As instructed by the hospital, I am continuing to avoid hard or tough foods. Still, compared with the early stage, eating has become much more comfortable, and since there is almost no discomfort in daily life, I think my recovery is progressing smoothly. Since I am still only 1.5 months post-op, I was told things have not fully settled yet, so I am really looking forward to the swelling going down more and the line becoming slimmer and more refined. I think it will become more natural and cleaner-looking as time passes, so it is also kind of enjoyable to watch the progress.
