I'm the person who posted on day 9. The swelling has gone down, but my cheekbones are showing again -- I'm now entering week 2. The major swelling is all gone for me. I didn't have severe swelling to begin with,,, and my cheekbones weren't that severe either, just slightly asymmetrical,,, the left side was more protruded. Now that 2 weeks have passed, the result is that the right cheekbone has really gone way in. The problem is that the left cheekbone is exactly the same. No, it actually seems to protrude more. I can see it with the naked eye, and even when I lightly run my hand down it, the right cheekbone is smooth but the left cheekbone is bulging. I had the surgery because my left cheekbone protruded more, so I really can't understand why only the right side went in noticeably. The hospital says it's swelling,, even though I can feel the bone -- .. They said to see after 3 months,, Somehow I feel like if I go after 3 months, they'll tell me to wait until 6 months. It's the obvious routine,, -- They said that in all their years as a doctor, I'm the first patient to complain this quickly. It's not that I don't trust the hospital or the director. If I hadn't trusted them, I wouldn't have had the surgery in the first place,. The problem is that I'm angry at the doctor's attitude after surgery, treating me like I'm just being sensitive,. Every time people around me say my facial asymmetry looks worse, my cheekbones look more protruded, and things like that, my heart really sinks. Still, I'm thinking it's swelling, diligently doing warm/cold compresses and waiting. I left a post on the hospital board today asking them to take the X-ray they said they'd only take after 6 months. I felt awkward doing it by phone -- I don't know why I'm walking on eggshells even about something I should naturally be able to request. If it really is swelling like the hospital says, I think I need to confirm it with my own eyes to feel a bit more at ease and wait with hope. At around 2 weeks, you can still check the result with an X-ray, right? I'm scared they'll reply, "You can't check at 2 weeks." I just checked now and their reply is, "We will give you an answer." It's so frustrating I'm going crazy. I'm the type who likes things to be clear, but after 3 months, after 6 months,, this is really driving a person insane. For those who had asymmetry after surgery,,, or anyone who had the same experience as me, please give me some advice.
