I've got my b/a pics here from roughly two weeks post op. I've fallen a little behind as it's been more than two weeks since my surgeries. I'll be posting my one month update soon soon in another thread.
Continuing on from my thread here: https://beautyhacker.com/forums/topic/1010743-caucasian-surgery-in-korea-experience/#post-33105089 , I decided to go ahead with my surgery at Uvom PS.

Immediately post op: Upon waking up I felt so dizzy. I couldn't walk properly and I had nausea. My throat was so dry and sore, but I couldn't drink any water because I just puked it up :'( I'm not gonna lie. The first night sucked. I couldn't breathe out of my nose. Things got better when the cotton packing was taken out of my nose. OMG IT FELT SO GOOD. Lol. It was great to be able to breathe.

Day 2 onwards: By the third day, I felt a lot better and was able to go for a walk around. I returned to Uvom to have my nose and mouth stitches checked and cleaned and also received the rainbow LED deswelling treatment :smile: having the stitches cleaned was a little uncomfortable because the medicament made my nose really itchy and stung a lot. I think I gave the nurse a hard time because I'm wriggly and have a low pain tolerance. Sorry! I think most people would be able to handle it better than me, though. My tolerance is really low. Haha

Day 5: Cast off! Honestly the first time I saw my nose with the cast off, I was a little shocked because it was super super swollen. I looked like a potato lol. But I was assured it was just swelling. I tried to remember that it would go down eventually and told myself not to freak out.
Day 7: Stitches out!! Arh! I had alarplasty too, so I had heaps of nose stitches to take out. The nurse told me the mouth stiches would hurt, but I think my nose was worse because I had so many, but I got through it. I told Dr Lee I was worried about how swollen and bulbous my nose looked, but he assured me the swelling would go down. He also gave me some deswelling injections in my nose which felt super weird. But I think they really helped!

After day 7, my swelling went down rapidly! By day 10, it looked like I hadn't had anything done. And my nose was way slimmer than it was when my cast came off.
