1 Week Post OP!

I’m back! I’m officially one week post and going to see my doctor tomorrow. The first week was really hard but I’m doing so much better now. I’m slowly weening off my pain medication. I’d say I have 20-30% feeling back in my face but I know it takes about year for that to come all the way back.

I’ve been managing my congestion well by using a neti pot and cleaning the excess with q-tips. I still have a little bit of trouble with swallowing but I’m working on it. The stint and rubber bands are a bit annoying but I know it’ll be worth it at the end.

1 week down and 5 more to go.

PS: I should’ve mentioned it in my first post but I got a DJS. My surgeon inserted cheek fillers so my eyes won’t look sunken in and shaved my nose bone down a bit so my nostrils would be so pronounced. I’ll post pics when I’m more comfortable.
