On September 30th, I had surgery with a minimal incision on my square jaw. I
got tested a week before the surgery and went to the hospital on the 30th
. As soon as I got there, I changed clothes and waited in the hospital room and had a glucose IV inserted.
A little later, I got an injection in my buttocks and went into the operating room. I went there
. It seemed like they were busy preparing for the surgery. They told me that I would fall asleep after one, two, three. It was
so strange that I lost consciousness.
On the first day , I woke
up in the hospital room. When I
woke up, my neck hurt and I felt nauseous because of the anesthesia, and they said I might vomit, but I didn't feel anything.
The anesthesia went quickly. Wow... the hardest part was being hungry. They said I could eat from the next day.
But I thought it was only done under the chin, but it was a bit absurd that they only did a little bit as a service for the incision in the mouth. I
spent the day watching TV. I didn't feel any pain.
The morning of the
second day. They gave me pumpkin porridge and I ate it. After a few hours, I got an IV
drip and was discharged. I felt stuffy and
swollen with bandages wrapped around me. I couldn't open my mouth, so I had to shove the porridge in too... I was put
under anesthesia, took off the bandage, took out the cotton and all the parts, and bandaged it again. I had treatment for the full wound, but it was very difficult because the anesthesia didn't work properly. My head was moving back and forth.
I was surprised when I woke up
on the third day !!
The swelling is so bad ㅠㅠ....
My lips are swollen and wide open ㅜㅜ
My skin is slightly better ㅜㅜ I tried compressing it but it doesn't help. On
the 4th day (today), I went
to the hospital and took off the bandage
. This morning, the swelling was extreme...
I went to the hospital and took off the bandage right away. After disinfecting my mouth and treating the submental incision, I came home.
This is when I started using warm compresses
. Today, the swelling has gone down a lot
. Maybe it's because I took off the bandage from the warm compress...
My lips are completely normal.
Both cheeks have disappeared a lot, and both sides of my lips have gone down. My chin is the most swollen.
Still, I'm tired of using the sauna, so I'm in good shape!
It's done at ㅁㄷ in Apgujeong-dong.
Has anyone had surgery here??
If you are there, I wonder when the swelling will go down. I have to go to work on Monday!!
