It is 3 weeks post-surgery! Things have been really hectic lately so I was not able to post right away, but my swelling is reducing as time goes by and I am very happy with my progress so far! I bought some products to help with the swelling which are sold at the hospital lobby! I was planning to stay for a month but I will be leaving in 2 days! I have been doing a lot of shopping despite the cold weather and can’t wait to go home to the warm weather! Let me know if you have any questions! I will try to update as often as I can!

1 week after surgery
Kristina90January 18, 2018
The first couple of days after surgery were tough, and I have not been able to get on here and write anything.
I had my surgery on 11th January, and slept overnight at the hospital. I was bleeding a lot so I had to have a blood bag connected, and I spent most of the time just sleeping. I did not get any bruising but the swelling…I looked like a balloon, as the picture shows. It’s been a week and now the doctor says I can wear the band for some time and take it off when it gets uncomfortable. I will be having the stitches removed next week but have a swelling care session today. The doctor checked by stitches, and said the surgery went well, and showed me the before and after x-rays.
Overall, I am happy with the results, and I hope the swelling care will help. I am also having the pumpkin juice daily, along with some light walking! Yesterday, I found this place nearby the hospital called garosugil, and I just loved walking around there, great shops and getting to increase the circulation so it is good. The weather has gotten less cold.
I am so looking forward to see my results after the swelling goes down and I will keep posting progress pictures!

Heading to have surgery
Kristina90January 11, 2018
Just waiting to head to surgery room, and change and get the design before getting anesthesia. I had a comment about before pics, and I realized how self-conscious I am about my jaw. I kind of have mixed feelings, I did find some pictures showing the size of my jaw. It might look ok to some people but I also have asymmetry so I hope I get the results I want. Will keep you posted!

The surgery went well. I saw he doctor and he checked my stitches and showed me where he shaved the bone. I will try to post as often as possible so you can get an idea of what to expect! Thank you for the comment and well wishes

Thank you so much!! I was totally out of it... it was my first time having surgery and I did not know what to expect. Going to have a swelling care session so I hope my swelling reduces dramatically. Good luck on your surgery too!!

holy crap, wait are these two photos on each different sides of your jaw??? cause my jaw is exactly like this. One side is bulky and the other is slender/okayish.....I agree, other people think our jaw types are okay cause it looks relatively small anyway, but the truth is, it maybe small but its actually wide....and plus I feel like it makes my neck look shorter than it really is cause of the width.
