Day 4 Post-surgery: This is how my face looks like, in its swollen glory (glory?) Admittedly, the swelling was more prominent on Days 2 & 3, but all the same, the swelling is still there and it gives the effect that I have a square jaw 0_0 !My sis-in law, upon seeing me on Day 2, said she thought I tengah kemam makanan in my mouth! However, what you see here is the swelling around my general jawline, and my lips. I wasn't trying to act cute and pout all eh, those are my lips looking bee-stung probably from the Novocaine injected a few days ago. I can't open my mouth much, obviously. And also my lips are drying up and peeling, despite me eating porridge and consuming lots and lots of water, no thanks I think to the antibiotics and painkillers. Not a pretty sight all-round.
See my left cheek swollen?
And here's the view on the right cheek
Making my jaw look squarish. And note swollen lips. NOT pouts.
Circled in red: My only 2 intact tooth, probably the top 2 which were simply extracted. The other bottom 2 had to be sectioned off and hacked into pieces.Also note the bloody remains: Some of the flesh of my gums stuck to the tooth.
