Hi, I had surgery this afternoon I skipped the 45-degree shaving because it causes a lot of damage to the face I also think it looks pretty when I smile The incision is near the sideburn area, and they insert instruments and go all the way to the anterior cheekbone Thinking about them grinding that area for a long time scared me
I think they reduced only the side cheekbones by about 7-9 mm on both sides
I had fixation done, and titanium felt burdensome because of the fixation strength I also did not like that it stays in permanently And I was worried about allergic reactions, so I chose dissolvable pins
Before surgery, my jaw was narrow and slim but I had some side cheekbones, so my face felt somewhere between an oval and an inverted triangle If anything, when I gained weight, it looked more oval-like
For the surgery, I washed up, got ready, went in, got painkillers The doctor came in, said let's put you to sleep I went hmmm mmm rrrrmmm, then woke up, and the surgery was over!
And after waking up, it hurt way more than I expected... Now I took painkillers and feel a bit better, so I wrote this Ask me anything you're curious about and I'll answer everything!
However, I won't share the hospital name (it's not even at that stage yet) The criteria I used to choose the hospital had nothing to do with friendliness It was the director doctor's surgical experience and academic background, and how they handle side effects!
