I arrived in Korea and had surgery the very next day. Yesterday officially marked 2 weeks post-op, and I finally got my stitches removed.
Right after surgery, I definitely felt a lot of tightness, and the swelling was pretty noticeable for the first week. But once I got past that, most of the major swelling started going down, and now I can finally see some of the contour coming through.
So far, I’m happy with the jawline results. It’s pretty close to what I was hoping for.
Before surgery, I was honestly worried I wouldn’t be able to attend my business meetings because of the swelling, but thankfully everything worked out fine and I managed to attend without any issues.
Recovery has been going smoothly so far, but I know it’s still early, so I’ll keep monitoring things and post another update later.
Does anyone have good tips for reducing swelling faster? I’ve been drinking pumpkin juice already, but if anyone has recovery and swelling reduction hacks, please share!
