Extremely swelling, is this normal?

It's day 2, and even after the second surgery due to extreme swelling and excruciating pain after 3 hours from my clinic. I woke up with less pain and my face is rounder unlike yesterday where it's rounded at the cheeks incisions. It doesn't hurt but it feels tight still and it's hard to move.

Bless you sweety pie... have they advised you to ice pack the area or anything? I think the mouth is an area which can swell a lot. I had an allergic reaction to something I ate this summer and omg the swelling was unreal. I'm following you and wishing you the best. I bet you will look amazing!

I started to swell ALOT after 3 hours mark so I contacted my nurse. She was quickly to asked me to come back to the clinic site and luckily i didn't leave the city because I'm from out of town. When I got there I started crying because the pain was so bad and I've never cried for any surgery before, they quickly find ways to make me feel better. I had a second surgery due to complications about 30 mins in the clinic & had to go under.
I'm home now resting and had to go back tomorrow for an update. Hopefully I'll get better. I'll continue to post my results!

Hi! I hope you are healing well and feeling much better now. Do you know what complication you were having when they had to whisk you back to surgery so quickly? I know that was scary!
