After suffering from sleep apnea, I underwent chin augmentation surgery along with various surgeries related to sleep apnea. It's now day 7. Perhaps because of the quick recovery, almost all of the swelling has gone down except for the lower lip. Before the surgery, I was most worried about loss of sensation, but fortunately the sensation returned quickly. I still have little feeling in my four lower teeth, and the muscles in the jaw area below my lip feel a little awkward, but I'm glad that it's getting better day by day. It feels like my frozen muscles and bones are melting little by little.
The reason I recovered so quickly was because I continued to use cold and warm compresses without skipping them on a regular basis. I never laid down until the 4th day. I continued to sit or move around, and even when I slept, I sat in a sleeping chair. I think continuing to stretch my jaw muscles slowly and carefully also helped a lot. I move my lips slowly up and down, left and right, open and close, movements like this.
A bruise has appeared on the surgical site and has spread to the bottom of the neck, so I am constantly applying bruise cream, but it does not go away easily. It will take about 2-3 weeks.
Since my job is to make a living by speaking, I was very concerned about my pronunciation, but after about a week, it wasn't a big problem. The pronunciation was very accurate, but maybe a little dull? I think I'll need more practice in the future.
On the outside, it has the effect of making you look more handsome as your chin comes out, making your impression clearer, but I think people with long faces should take this into account. Seeing my hidden long face in full was stranger than I thought. Still, I take comfort in the thought that it's better to look a little better even if it's a little longer than an ambiguous one haha.
Before the surgery, I looked up a lot of reviews. I hope my review will help someone with the same problem. It wasn't for cosmetic purposes, so I couldn't change the shape or shorten the length, but I think it might be useful.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment!
