This is the person who posted the review just a week ago.
The 2nd week didn't go very well lol But the swelling and pain subsided every day, so now I'm doing almost everything in my daily life without any problems. I don't know if it's because the surgery went well, or if it's because of the square jaw, or if it's because of my physical constitution, or because of the hard follow-up care. Anyway, I took a warm compress and a walk every day. I don't know how effective pumpkin juice is.
I finally got my stitches off today. It hurts when the stitches are removed. I said there was nothing uncomfortable, and the teacher patted me that I would become prettier in the future. When I
look in the mirror now, do I feel like I'm 2% slimmer than before the surgery? Still, the swelling seems to be less than a week ago. The part that I thought was a bone because it was hard also fell out!! So, everyone, wait with hope. I have
to go to see the progress again around May, and if I go to get care next week, it's over. Rather, it feels like a heavy burden has been lifted off my shoulders. Now that I've done my best, let's just live with this face.. It
's
a relief
.
I went up to the operating table, inserted an intravenous fluid injection, and heard the anesthesiologist say, 'I'll give you medicine to make you sleepy', and the film cut off. When he wakes up, he barely sits in a wheelchair in a confused state and is taken to a hospital room. I was intoxicated with the anesthetic gas, my mind went back and forth, my throat and nose hurt as if I had the flu. It was so painful because I couldn't drink water and sleep for 6 hours after the operation. When I am too sleepy, I go to the bathroom and sit on a cool toilet to wake up; I was happy to be able to sleep from the moment I was able to drink water. At night, I woke up every 2 hours, walked around the ward, drank a sip of water, and passed the time. Overnight, the nurse gave me an injection to reduce swelling, an injection to dissolve phlegm, a stomach protector, and antibiotics once or twice.
Around 6:00 in the morning, a nurse came in, read the post-surgery instructions, took a face X-ray, went in for swelling care, saw the doctor, and was discharged. Gargling should be done once every 2 hours, and cold compresses should be applied vigorously.
Swelling descends to the square jaw area under the cheek and looks like a bogus; I think I'll be ruined if my face hardens like this. Taking a walk definitely improved the swelling. For rice, I ate porridge, yogurt, and soft tofu. I tried steamed egg once, but gave up because it was too difficult.
The big swelling went away and I went back to my face before the surgery. From this point on, normal eating begins. Brush your teeth with an orthodontic toothbrush and gargle every 2 hours. I work hard on taking walks and applying hot compresses. I just pay attention to follow-up care. I was able to wear a mask until the 5th or 6th day and not wear a mask from the 7th day.
Swelling starts to subside very finely. To be honest, after visiting the hospital on the 7th day, I loosened up the follow-up care a bit. Gargling is also a bit lazy, so I only do it 3 times a day. Still, recovery continues to progress. You can also sleep lying on your side.
After reading other posts, I guess I didn't bleed much, so I came out with no blood. So I guess the swelling was relatively less! But I still have to wait a few months to see the results.
