hello!
I had surgery earlier this year on January 12th and it's already been 4 months, so I'm looking at 5 months!
To celebrate, I would like to post a comprehensive review.


<Surgery Day>
The day was really hectic, my throat hurts so much, my mouth is full of blood, my throat is so swollen it's hard to swallow, and time doesn't pass
I just sent it in a hurry with my eyes open. Still, the teachers kept checking, provided everything I needed, and encouraged me that it went well, so I passed it safely.

<Surgery+1>
On the second day, I was able to live because I drained the urine line and drained blood at dawn, but it was better than the previous day
It was worth living, but I was still in pain. The saliva was profuse all day and the cough kept coming out.
(I told you to be patient ㅠ) I barely slept for 10 minutes because I was out of breath, and I was just discharged the next day.
I stayed up all night with my eyes open again with the mindset of holding on~

<Surgery +2 (Discharge)>
The house is definitely comfortable. Except for stuff like choking and bleeding from the nose.
It was very livable~ Ah, but from that point on, the swelling increased tremendously.
My nose gets weird (it's because of the swelling) and I'm worried about what to do if it doesn't fall out
I took a 30-minute walk in front of the house, took a shower, and gave it cold compresses often.

<Week 1>
Day 3 4 5 6 was similar, going for a walk, gargling every time I drank something, brushing my teeth.
From the 4th day onwards, I applied warm compresses and took medicine, and after 1 week, the swelling seemed to go down.
I still have a tingling feeling and my nose is the same.

<One month difference>
It's been a month since I switched to braces without wafers!!
Although the swelling has not gone down yet, many people around me say that I have gotten younger and my face has gotten shorter.
Meals are mainly soft, chewing is possible, and it is still the time to eat mainly noodles!
Still, it's a time to live because eating has become a lot more convenient.. haha ^^
The uncomfortable thing is that the remaining swelling and the sense of the chin and lips have not returned.
The sensation is tolerable, but if you can chew it now, you will be really happy.


<4th month>
Dudungtak!
Now I'm so used to it as if it was my original face haha
Looking at the picture, I feel it, but I think my face has definitely gotten smaller.
Even if I take a picture with my head up, my face doesn't feel long or big, it's really good
As the uncomfortable things disappear one by one, I am living a similar life as before the surgery.
The swelling has gone down to the point where I don't care anymore, and the sensation is slowly coming back.
If I have to say the inconvenience, it's post-correction, so every time I eat something like rice or a snack,
That you have to brush your teeth hard and that you have to avoid things that are extremely hard or tough?
It's not that I can't eat it at all, but I just need to avoid those things, so it doesn't really matter haha
Anyway, I am very satisfied with the surgery and I am doing well!!!
Let's all fight!!
