Im already on my day 2 post op, my cheeks still swelling but My main concern is that my upper lips deviation to the right side of my face. I noticed this when I tried to applied lipstick on my lips. Im afraid that I have facial nerve damage.
I put ice on my cheeks, but that seems to have made it worse. Plus, my surgeon had me wear a bandage to add pressure to the buccal area, but I feel that prevents my cheeks from draining. What should I do to reduce the swelling? And should I wear the bandage?
2 days ago I decided to have buccal fat pad removal as well as neck liposuction. My doctor did not inform me that the extent of swelling would be this severe. I was under the impression it would only be mild. Judging from the pictures I've provided, how long would it take for my face to go back to its normal size?
