I had cheek surgery

Did you know that it takes about 3 to 4 weeks for the bones to bond after surgery? Before that, you should not open your mouth too wide or eat hard food. Since you will not be able to use your masticatory muscles for a few days after the surgery, it will not work well to open your mouth for a moment, so you need to practice opening your mouth a little, but it is better not to open it too wide. Also, it will be sore in about a week. And, you're probably still very uncomfortable... I also had trouble eating for about a week... And there's a compression bandage instead of pressing on the cheekbone with your hand, so you can handle that... Anyway, cheer up!!!!

It's hard to press down on the cheekbones with your hands, so put a pressure bandage on them. Instead, they say that if you apply too much, it will stop circulation, so they say it's better to do it every 30 minutes at a time. Anyway, don't worry, it's probably because you haven't done it in a while! ^^
