Before Surgery

Reason for Surgery:

Due to my facial asymmetry, I had a lot of concerns. Since my facial asymmetry was severe, I visited countless plastic surgery clinics during December. Since facial bone surgery is a big surgery, I had to cotemplate a lot. I decided to have surgery on February. I have been self conscious and stressed for a long time so I hope I can get prettier. That is my only wish.

Day 1

My throat was hurting and there was something plugged in my nose so I couldn’t breathe well. I couldn’t rest well and I had to sleep upright which made my back and glutes uncomfortable. The anesthesia was also made me have a hard time and I just wanted one day to pass by quickly.

​

Day 2

Day 3

I wonder what they put under my eye.. (tape). Anyways, my swelling doesn’t seem to be decreasing and whenever I wake up, it seems better but then it gets bad again. I need to be more patient and also, I feel hungry.

Day 4

Other people seem to swell around their mouth but most of my swelling is near my eyes and cheeks. I’m going to receive my laser treatment tomorrow so I’m hoping that some of the swelling will be able to decrease in about a week?

Day 6

I went on a walk during dawn and my eyes were stinging due to the cold wind. I’m trying my best to go on frequent walks which seems to be helping my swelling decrease. But I can’t eat what I want so I always feel hungry. I want to remove my stitches quickly.

When I woke up, my swelling seemed like it decreased. It was surprising since I could open my eyes widely and I can open my mouth wider than before. It’s been a week and I can fit about two fingers in my mouth. I hope that my swelling continues to decrease. Not being able to wash my face was bothering me but my skin actually got better. I also lost 3kgs.

Day 9​

Day 14

Today marks the second week since my surgery, which means I’m going to the clinic. I went on a walk this morning and used my compression band. Finally, I’m getting my stitches removed. Although I’m a bit swollen, I can see that most of the swelling is gone. I want to put make up on and meet my friends quickly. People around me say that my face got smaller.

Day 45

Day 50

I love my face shape~!!!!  

Day 51

During the consultation, I asked to doctor to reduce my bones as much as possible. I wanted a dolly look and I was able to achieve it through surgery. A lot of my friends ask me where I did my surgery. I don’t need to photoshop or edit my photos anymore. The sensation on my face returned back to normal and I’m not experiencing any side effects. The doctor is really skilled. I couldn’t stop mentioning EU to the people around me.

Getting good results from surgery is important, but safety should be the priority. 

Since facial bone surgery is a big surgery, I want to thank the doctor one more time. I still have some loss of sensation on my gums and teeth but they seem to be returning. I hope the stubborn/smaller swelling is gone soon so that I can see my final results. I’m glad that my surgery went well and finished safely.​

I'm highly satisfied with my face shape!!~
