Hello, I had the 2nd contouring procedure and it's been a month since I saw the progress,
but I'm just now writing a review ㅎㅎ
(I'm going to organize the key points at the bottom separately because the writing about the things I went through and was stressed out is too long)
Originally, I was going to write this after about 6 months, but I got anxious even if there was a small problem during the month after the surgery, and I received a lot of help from Seongye Hospital, so I think other patients who had the surgery would be the most anxious around this time, so I'm embarrassed to
write a review of a patient who has only been in the procedure for a month. I plan to write in as much detail as possible
about what I wrote, so be warned about the long post! Please keep in mind that the surgery is basically a sabha surgery, and
I won't tell you the hospital, so I'll be honest!
1. I decided to get the surgery, and
my sharp jaw was so stressful that I always talked about it as if it was a habit. People around me told me to stop.
When I watched TV, I only saw celebrities' jaws, and when I looked in the mirror, I only saw my sharp jaw. Then, when I went on a trip, I happened to see a side profile picture taken, and it wasn't an ordinary person's jawline. It was the first time I saw the side profile properly, so I was so shocked. My jaw was a bit sharp, but I thought it was more sharp than an ordinary person's. I never thought my side profile would be square. I thought I would get depressed just looking at the mirror.
I'm in my early to mid-30s. I thought it was too late to get the surgery, so I held back, but as if I was possessed, I made up my mind to get the surgery.
Since it was bone surgery, I was definitely going to have it done in Seoul, and I made a list by finding out about various places. I didn't make a reservation in advance, so I couldn't get a proper consultation, but I gradually became convinced that I had to get the surgery.
After going to the first two consultations, I sharpened the knife and prepared.
I quit my job, received my savings, made a new list, and spent a month just getting consultations. Danim.. Now I think I can tell you to coordinate.. Anyway, the story was long, but I really, really had a complex and I'm old, but I decided to have the surgery. Also, people in the provinces, make sure to thoroughly prepare for a consultation appointment in advance!!
1-1. The reason I didn't get jaw surgery is because
I researched a lot about the side effects of contouring surgery, and my jawline sticks out a bit, but I'm already stressed out because my cheekbones are sagging, and I thought that if I got jaw surgery, it would sag even more and I'd regret it, so I got both of them. I think it was a very good choice.
2. On the day of the surgery,
I wasn't scared at all because I thought that my square jaw would be gone right away. I went alone, and if I came without a guardian, the risk of proxy surgery would increase, so I lied to the desk that my parents were there. ㅋㅋ I saw hospitals that said that they would have the anesthesia done outside because they were scared of the operating table, but I didn't have that. I just laid down on the operating table with my feet on the table, and until the anesthesia took effect, I just slept and thought, "Goodbye, chin~~" ㅎㅎ
While I was being moved to the hospital room after the surgery, the anesthesia slowly wore off and I came to my senses, and honestly, it didn't hurt that much..
My lips felt wrinkled because they were pulled and swollen, and it was a little numb and throbbing like I had a cavity in my wisdom tooth??
I'm the type of person who complains that even getting my ears pierced hurts, but I went there expecting it to be incredibly painful, and it didn't hurt as much as I thought.
I was really determined to make a fuss and ask for a painkiller, but it didn't hurt so I didn't say anything.
The hard part was the general anesthesia.
They told me not to fall asleep and to keep breathing so that the anesthesia wouldn't have to take effect. I hadn't slept since dawn the day before because I was going to Seoul, and I was so tired, but they kept waking me up and keeping the lights on until dawn. The nurses talked among themselves a lot, so I couldn't sleep properly. I'd sleep for
an hour, wake up for ten minutes, sleep for an hour,
and keep doing this. After a certain amount of time, they told me to walk around.
I walked around a bit and when I felt dizzy, I quickly lay down again. Then it was okay. I was told to take Newcare, but I didn't take it because I was afraid of getting dizzy. Other patients were vomiting and making a fuss.
I really shouldn't get dizzy.. so I walked around a bit and laid down again, but then I got lazy and just laid down like a corpse.
The nurses gave me an analgesic and didn't touch me, so I just lay there all day.
My sensation was only the first day, but my lips were fine and my lower jaw was tingling.
Anyway, I was relieved because they said that it wasn't a nerve cut, even if I felt anything.
3. The day after the surgery, day 1.
I had
the blood clot removed. I was discharged without pain
and went to a nearby motel
that I had reserved. I got all the medicine and everything
. I felt much better than I thought. My face was completely swollen, but other than that, there were no problems. No pain, no bruising.
The nurse explained to me about the pulling sensation and whatnot, but I misunderstood and thought she meant that I should start feeling a little bit of a pulling sensation from day 1. ㅠㅠ As soon as I got to the motel I got a sore throat... Then I lay down and it was heaven.
I wondered if I would be bored in a motel, but I was bored from the first day.
Just in case, I looked up a long anime called High Q and started watching it.
Time passed quickly and it was fun.
I ate
Newcare + Almond Breeze + pumpkin porridge, but
I feel like I ate the pumpkin porridge for nothing. I made incisions on both sides of my mouth, but it feels like something went inside. I gargled, but I think I could still taste the pumpkin porridge. I think I'm going crazy. Fortunately, if I go to the hospital in a few days, they'll recognize it right away if it's inflammation. I tried to calm my mind.
4. Day 3 after surgery
I didn't have clown hair, so I thought they wouldn't give me shampoo and went to the hospital after showering at a motel. If you don't have clown hair surgery, you just have to wash your chin to keep water out. But when I got to the hospital, they gave me shampoo lol.
I met the director, took off the tape on my chin, and had a quick checkup
. By the way, this was the first time I'd seen him since the facial doodle time before the surgery.
He only looked at my mouth for about a minute,
which I was worried about. He really just roughly looked at my mouth
. But since he's a specialist, I thought he'd see everything in that split second, but I'm still anxious. Anyway, he told me it was okay, so I trusted him and went down to the local area.
On the third day, my swelling was the most
severe. It's the same as Moomin lol.
5. One week after the surgery,
the swelling went down a lot, and I really didn't want to do anything at home because I was so tired ㅠㅠ
I went for walks against my will... I tried hard, but...
I didn't think I had any bruises at all, but I saw a yellow spot on my chin. I guess this is a yellow bruise.
I hated being stressed out from the pumpkin porridge so much that I almost only ate Newcare and Almond Breeze, and I also ate risotto.
I brush my teeth after eating, but
I bought a mini flashlight from Daiso and I checked all the stitches thoroughly with a toothpick and cotton swab. I highly recommend it.
I spent 100,000 won and went to Seoul. After one week,
what the... I went into one of the rooms that were very close together, and the director was like... looking around the room like a game of whack-a-mole... Does he look at the patient for like 30 seconds? He really felt the chin and looked inside the mouth. It's only the first week. It's a little sore, but it'll get better. See you in a week. He said that and left. He kept going around the rooms and gave short examinations.
I was impressed, got skin care, and went home.
6. The second week after surgery.
Since then, the swelling has gone down differently on both sides.
One side has no pain or swelling at all. My gums are swollen so my cheek feels tight? My jawline is visible,
but one side is swollen like it has candy in it, and I have a double chin and sunken cheeks, and the other side is not like that at all, so I guess it's because of the swelling. My jawline still feels tingly and sore when I touch it, but
the other side isn't like that.
I'm seriously worried that I should have half-and-half surgery with the director and the substitute surgeon
. They said that the swelling will go down a lot when the stitches are removed, so I spent 100,000 won and went in for a 2-week check-up. After seeing for another minute or so, he left..
but he didn't remove the stitches because they were dissolving stitches..
haha I'm stressed. The transportation fee can't be ignored, but I waited for over 30 minutes and was examined for 1 minute, and I couldn't even get the stitches removed that I had been waiting for. I
got skin care and went home.. I wanted to meet my friends, but I couldn't because the swelling was still
visible. My chin was swollen so much that it looked like Moomin and even looked like a spatula chin.
I started eating noodles little by little and brushed my teeth with a children's toothbrush.
7. 3 weeks after surgery,
the swelling didn't show any signs of getting better.. Meanwhile, I always looked inside my mouth and the part where the stitches were left started to swell up red. Wow, this is 100% inflammation. I'm so angry.. I have another week to go to the hospital, but if I go now, I'll be stressed out by the transportation fee. I
was so angry that I brought scissors and a mini pin, disinfected them, and luckily I had it removed.. (It's a very dangerous thing to do) It healed perfectly the next day after I had it removed.. I did a good job with it, but ordinary people shouldn't do it..
I eat all kinds of noodles now. I didn't think that spicy and salty food would cause swelling, so I ate
noodles and soup.. I ate everything I wanted to eat except meat..
The swelling didn't go down, so I thought I wasn't taking care of myself enough, so I stopped getting 10 sessions of high-frequency treatment at a skin shop. I felt like it was getting better, but I didn't think getting it done once at the hospital would be effective..
8. A month after the surgery,
I wanted to go to the hospital and take a city photo, but they were so quick that I couldn't even talk..
Even so, unless they did Photoshop,
the bones seemed to be well-cut. I actually wanted a V-line, but even I knew that if I shaved my chin all the way down, my face would look like a dog chin, and since my middle part of my face is long, it would be ruined if it was a dog chin. So I left a little bit of my chin, but it looks like they did it in a U shape. I wonder if it would have been better if they had made the long curve a little more, but I'm still swollen.. And I already had the surgery, so what can I do? ㅎ
9.
I don't know
if the high-frequency treatment is effective or if it's because I'm past the first month of treatment, but the swelling on my cheekbones that wasn't going down has gone down. It's starting to fall out, my double chin and cheekbones are all gone, and the tingling pain is gone too. I really get numbness once in a while.
When I eat,
I can't chew hard with my molars because it hurts, so I can eat anything I can gently crush with my molars. I can't eat big things.
For example, I can eat sashimi, but sushi is too fat to fit in my mouth, so I have to break it apart to eat it. The
swelling is still there, but the spatula-like feeling has gone away a bit.
I hope it's been two months
. Huh! Why did the back part all disappear? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
I'm going crazy.. I'll add a comment when I remember. ㅠㅠㅠㅠSummaryㅠㅠ
