Motivation
My mouth and cheekbones were protruding too
much. And there was asymmetry, so I was stressed every time I took a picture. I
didn't take a lot of pictures of my entire face, but I covered my face with my
hands or only half of my face.
While I was looking into the hospital, my sister
persuaded my mom that she wanted to have surgery at EU, and she came back to
normal without much more symptoms than I imagined. Her swelling seems to go
reduce fast, and most of all, I envy her for her natural face and small face
after the surgery. So I went to counseling, and doctor & consultant were
very kind to me, so I was relieved, and more than anything else, I trusted my
sister because she had surgery at EU.
I've seen her recovery process, so I
expected it to be difficult right after surgery, but the most difficult things
after surgery were not sleeping well and breathing. I had a hard time right
after I left the hospital, but from the fifth day, I started breathing and
feeling better.
The speed of reduce swell for a while as
pretty fast. But now I feel like I'm in
a slump. I like my face line more than before. I got much more comfortable
after removing screw since it was bother me a lot when I laugh. I hope I get
better soon. ᅲ
Operation
Day
I was very nervous and scared, but I think
I fell asleep with the sentence that I might feel dizzy. I opened my eyes and realize
that I done with the surgery. I turned around to move, but I was so dizzy and
stuffy that I was annoyed. My nose was bleeding and my mouth felt stuffy.

I had to contact my family on my phone, but
I couldn't because of a splitting headache. And I went to bed for laser treatment,
but I gave up because I couldn't breathe.

Now I feel like breathing is better than
the first time. I began to speak a little bit. The doctor disinfected it, put something
inside of my nose and drained the blood and that was a short time. Blood is
coming out again.

It was the same that I couldn't sleep even
when I got home. I had to do the Facial Pressure Bandage, which made breathing
very difficult, so I only gave them ice packs. I was told that it was time remove
the white tape on the third day, so I took it off slowly, putting some water on
it. After taking it off, I took a shower with the help of my sister. I feel
very refreshed. I was so hungry today that I bought cream soup and cooled it
down and ate it with a syringe. It was so delicious. My mouth seemed to open
little by little and I could see that it was getting better.

From now on, I feel like I can breathe
well. My sister also said that my swelling isn't that severe. I would not use
ice packs from today. I'm using the
Facial Pressure Bandage little by little. I bought a children's toothbrush and
wiped my front teeth with a gargle, but it's hard to clean because of the
wafer. I was upset, but I couldn't help it.

Now I can breathe little by little through
my nose. So even if I went around a lot, I was less tired than before. But
still, the Facial Pressure Bandage is uncomfortable. I wasn't supposed to wear
this after a week, but I was nervous because I didn't feel like I was wear that
often that it affects the result of the surgery.

Today, I removed the stich out from the
cheekbones. People said it didn't hurt that much, so I just went, but it stung
and felt like pulling out my hair. Next, doctor was disinfecting the thread in
my mouth and it hurt so much. It was good that I was able to breathe well
enough for laser treatment now.

I felt like my face was getting thinner.
I've been so hungry lately that I've been reading reviews online. I saw that I
ate morning bread or bread in soup, so I ate it once. It was so delicious that
I ate it quickly. I can't wait to eat the proper food.

I removed the stich that I felt like the
feeling of pulling my philtrum is almost gone. Before removing the stitches, I
was worried about food goes to tongue & the surgical area. I was practicing
the video that help to me open my mouth wider but it made me frustrated because
I couldn't open my mouth as much as I thought.

The bruises under the eyes are all gone
now, and only the light yellow bruises are left, but I couldn't see any of them

Doctor said I have to wear rubber bands on my
teeth instead of wafers. But the swelling isn't all gone yet, so it's really
hard to hang it inside. But the doctor said I have to do this, so I practiced
hard. There was a bus time left, so I went to see the hat, but there was a
beret that I couldn't wear before, so I tried it on and thought it was better
than I thought, so I bought it and came home.

It has already been two months since the
operation. I thought the time goes so slowly after the surgery, but it is
already March. The doctor said that I can chew meat after 3 months of surgery,
but it has been too long since I did not ate pork belly, so I cut it very small
pieces and ate it. However, after eating it, I felt like my face is swelling
more so I stopped eating it.
