I had surgery yesterday... The last surgery, they couldn't put much in, and even the small amount of silicone caused trouble.. so I had it redone.. This time they built it up with Gore-Tex, and used Medpor and AlloDerm underneath..... I had sedation anesthesia.. I was really worried about what if I woke up from sedation anesthesia, and sure enough, I woke up.... I kept trying to sleep, but I couldn't.. So I asked the doctor to give me more anesthesia, saying I'll sleep, I'll sleep.. Then they said it was fine and told me to wake up, so I just kept my eyes closed.... Throughout the surgery I kept thinking, high and pointy, high and pointy, and then I got exhausted and really fell asleep again for just a moment. When I woke up, they were stitching the very tip of my nose.... After that I was in the room.. and from then, my forehead above the glabella swelled up a lot. It swelled so much I couldn't handle it, and after a day, I even got bruising around my eyes...... The sides of my cheeks were puffy too, it was no joke.. Since it was traffic time from the clinic to home by taxi, and there weren't many people on the coach bus, I took the bus... I pretended to cough like someone with a cold, and the mask got covered with nosebleed.. sigh.... Yesterday, blood kept coming from the open approach incision, but now it's a bit better~~~!!!! I thought it would hurt.... but it's really tolerable and seems okay. Well, it could be because it's revision surgery... When I graduated high school, I had local anesthesia.. Back then it was really no joke.. But with sedation anesthesia, it was easier and nice... Back then I had surgery without thinking about anything.. so I didn't know how to reduce swelling or anything.. A few months ago I had double eyelid surgery, so I'm drinking the leftover pumpkin juice from then.. How many months is pumpkin juice good for? And what should I do to make the swelling that has gone up to my forehead go down? I'm sleeping sitting up, so my back hurts so much I could die~ Anyway, please tell me about forehead swelling and bruising~ I thought about putting beef on it... but it's the double eyelid line.. so I can't put it there.. and it's too close to the eyes.. Anyway, right now it's tolerable and I'm eating well too~ hoohoohoo Then please let me know~~
