It's been 11 days since I had facial contouring surgery. I had 3 types of surgery: wide angle/long curve/V-shaped osteotomy.
I had a lot of worries after the surgery, so I asked the head of the consultation room a lot by text and
wrote to Sungyesa a lot.
After the surgery, I was really worried about
the dark bruise under my chin, the sunken cheek under my cheekbone, and the numbness in my front chin
. I could definitely feel my facial line getting smoother, but
I couldn't feel any big changes
because of the swelling, so I couldn't sleep at night wondering if I had paid a lot of money for this surgery.
But as each day passed,
I was surprised to see that it was actually getting better little by little every day!
First of all,
the bruise under my chin that I had asked Sungyesa about first, which I thought would never go away, has definitely gotten lighter and I think it will go away in a few days.
I discovered the sunken cheek under my cheekbone when I removed the compression tape by myself at home (7 days), and it was really sunken, so
I was really surprised. I was also told that it was one of the side effects, so I was really worried. When I asked the hospital, they said that it was still early and the swelling would make it more prominent and that it would improve with time. At Seongye Temple, some people didn't come back and some people said it got a little better.
But today, on the 11th day,
for some reason, my cheek swelling improved by more than 50%? It was so sudden that I wondered what it was. I thought it was because I had a chin lift, but it's still improved.
I guess it'll get better with time.
But
surprisingly, my jaw was originally hard and my mouth was heavy as if it was tied, and
I didn't feel much in my lower lip and jaw area, but surprisingly, my lips were split in half vertically and I could feel my jaw and lips on the right side
! On the 11th day, my cheek swelling and jaw sensation, which were so worrisome, suddenly improved a lot, so it's really amazing.
That's why I wanted to write, so I'm hesitating like this.
I think facial contouring is a big and dangerous surgery. Because many bad symptoms appear after surgery.
So, for those who are still worried, I think it would be good to think about this and make a decision.
For those who have had surgery for a short time like me and are worried about this,
I think it would be good to take some time and wait
. I felt it a lot today.
Of course, there are some people who don't recover even after a long time
, but... Since I did it, I think that if I wait with a good heart, there will be good results. This
is the end of the 11th day review!
(For your information, the unsightly swelling
has gone down a lot, and my face doesn't look swollen when I wear a mask. The area around my cheeks and mouth is still swollen, so
my face looks chubby like I've bitten into a candy.)
