Here is an honest review..
**My day on the 50th day after surgery**
I woke up at 6 a.m. to the sound of my cell phone alarm. As soon as I open my eyes, I gently touch my cheekbones to see if they are well attached and carefully get up from the bed. 'Crash, crackle...' ' There's an odd sound coming from the cheekbone, as if it's falling or being torn. ‘Denjang~ I’m going to be depressed today as well.’ On days when there is a loud noise from the clown in the morning, I become sensitive all day long. I go to the bathroom to take a shower. I am afraid that a clown will catch my eye, so I wash my hair with a hair holder again today. I shampooed carefully and washed my face carefully (when washing my face, especially when applying soap to the cheek area, I was careful not to push the cheek area.) I wiped it gently with a towel, but it felt like it was being pushed again.. I furrowed my eyebrows and came out to the living room and was told to eat. Mom's words~ I'm sitting at the table, but today I feel like I'm just eating grains of rice. Annoyed at her mom. Even though she can't chew, she cooks rice for me... I guess she must be an unfilial woman. When I see them protesting against the surgery and then getting so annoyed at their parents for fear of side effects... I'm in tears at the dinner table. but!!! In order for your bones to unite quickly, you have to force yourself to eat even if you don't want to, so today, too, I make bone broth with rice, chew it 3-4 times, and swallow it. When it comes to bone bones, I don't want to eat them until my teeth grind, but I still eat bone broth with a glass of milk mixed with safflower seed powder in the morning and evening so that the bones can quickly fuse together. I heard that safflower seed powder is good for fractures. I saw that on the Internet and took it mixed with milk for about a month. Oh, I take 2 calcium pills in the morning. Come to think of it, I'm eating this and that.
I leave for work at 7:30. There are a lot of people on the subway. Line 2 is always soggy. I took a seat in a corner of the subway, completely nervous about bumping into people. My face is reflected in the window in front. I look left and right and look at the clown reflected in the window. It's definitely a little softer than before surgery. But all I got was this: a softer face... a smile suddenly appeared. Even though my face is not small after surgery, my face looks good in the mirror. However, when I turn my head left and right, I see a staircase phenomenon on my right cheek right in front of my ear. It's not that bad, but the subway lights are a little dark, so you can see a faint shadow. I'm feeling depressed again. Uh~~ I suddenly feel like coughing. ‘No~’ I had to cover my cheeks with both hands, but... I sneezed first... 'Hitch! Wow... is my clown still in place?' Ah.. the cheekbone is in the right place.. but when I touch it, the cheekbone is pushed slightly in front of my ear again.. I feel depressed again.
8:30 to 6:00 Please, I would like for no one to talk to me at work as much as possible. Every time I speak, my cheekbones make a ticking sound and feel like they are moving. I look at the hand mirror in front of my desk. Hmm... my chin has definitely become slimmer. But the face area of the cheekbones is the same. What was sticking out has gone in, but even today, 50 days after the surgery, my cheeks are bulging and the sides of my lips look a little saggy. Anyway... I'm still satisfied with the results of the surgery. Except for the fact that I'm super nervous every day because of the clown shaking and making noises...
After work... I give up on all my promises. I met my friends only once after their surgery. I can't muster up the courage to meet you. It's not that I'm afraid that my friends will notice my face, but I don't know if I'll eat hard food when I meet them (in my standards, hard food is any food that isn't soft), and when I'm talking, my cheekbones will shake and I'll make a loud noise, so I can make promises to friends and boyfriends. After 3 months, I'm heading home. When I get home, I immediately take a shower and feel the craving. If you're wearing a bullseye, at least you won't feel as shaken... I used to not sleep before 12 o'clock, but these days I go to bed by 10 o'clock. If I sleep, I can forget about my anxious feelings about clowns and I won't be shaken.. I think to myself as I go to bed. Tomorrow, when I wake up tomorrow morning, I hope the clown won't be shaken... . It will be two months in 10 days.. I think I am going to suffer from depression.
**My Thoughts on Surgery**
After reading the article about my day above, many of you may be wondering if I had any side effects after surgery.. Absolutely not. This is a day in the life of someone with normal surgical results. I had my chin enlarged through an incision inside my mouth at a plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam that is famous for facial contouring. This is a place where surgery is performed naturally. This is not a place where surgery is performed unreasonably. However, today, on the 50th day, my cheekbones still feel slightly asymmetrical and shaky. It seems difficult for the surgery to be 100% symmetrical. When I wake up in the morning and touch the cheekbones in front of my ears, the cheekbones in front of my ears are smoothly connected, but when I touch the cheekbones in front of my ears again after eating breakfast, I can feel stairs. In other words, the area in front of the ear hasn't stuck yet and is moving. These are all normal reactions. Do you think I am normal? no. Doctors say that. I received an objective diagnosis at the place where I had surgery and at other places, and they said it was normal. Everyone feels that way up to three months. So... the reactions I feel may not be felt by everyone who undergoes surgery, but it is a feeling that many people feel.
What doctors say before surgery. They say that 70% of the swelling will go away in a week, 90% in a month, and that you can return to social life in a week. Um, I don't know because swelling is a personal thing. In my case, I think after a month I lost about 80% of what I had before surgery. However, the hospitals (the hospital where the surgery was performed and the hospital where the decision was made objectively) all said that there was no swelling. Haha, but today, 50 days later, my face is definitely plumper than before the surgery! do.
Bert~ Do the doctors tell you that before surgery? It takes at least 3 months for the bones to attach, so until then, you may hear sounds in front of your ears when you talk, eat, or move your head (I don't think they all happen. But many do.) I couldn't hear them at first, but after 3 weeks, I couldn't hear them. It has been making noise since then and is still making noise. When you lower your head, you may feel like your bones are being pulled (this also seems to be the reaction of many people~). I'm not sure if it's right to say that they're being pulled, but it can even feel like it's shaking. Since the incision inside the mouth is only fixed next to the eye and not in front of the ear, the cheekbone in front of the ear will move slightly until the bones are fused. However, after the surgery, if the patient asks a few questions about these anxious symptoms, the doctors will tell them a couple of times, and then they will become very bothersome from then on. Since this is a symptom they have seen many times, they may find it annoying to answer once and then ask again. I don’t know if you know that from the patient’s perspective, they feel very anxious and want to grasp at straws.
What I mean is that after 3 months, the bones are not fully fused, but the bones can move for up to 3 months. It takes at least three months for the shaking feeling or sound to subside. That's what all three doctors agreed upon when they consulted with me after the surgery. Have you ever heard these words? I think most people haven't heard it. So, is this only a problem with mouth incisions? The answer, in my subjective opinion, is no. I contacted several people (I won't reveal which one, because it could be considered shady) who had surgery through scalp incisions. It has been more than 3 months since the scalp incision was made, but some people say that there is swelling on the side of the cheek and the side of the mouth, although I don't know if it is sagging cheeks or swelling, and that there is a sound every time the cheekbones move. In other words, the surgical method is important, but the doctor's skill level is also important. And even monkeys fall from trees. I don't think it's 100% successful if you tell someone to do it. It's been a month and a half now for me, so I'm not sure of the results yet, but I'm very distressed at this moment of not knowing if it's a success or a side effect (although the X-ray results say there's no problem). It's difficult to have to live with this mindset for the next 3-4 months.
so… Cheekbone surgery is never simple. I thought the surgery would be successful if I woke up normally after the surgery, had all feeling in my face, and had no nerves. But... I think the really difficult time with cheekbone surgery begins after the major swelling goes down. If I were to go back to before the surgery, I would just like to have my chin done. I don't want to be a clown. Everyone, please think carefully. Cheekbone surgery does not change your face much. It's just a little bit softer. I have such a severe complex that being a clown is interfering with my social life, so in my personal opinion, if you don't really have the will to do it, I'd like to stop you.
I will post another review in about 3 months. Then you will be able to write with a more relaxed mind, right?
Lastly, for those who had surgery, I hope you all overcome your anxiety and have a successful surgery. Of course I should, right? ^^
