No estaba preparada para lo que me paso.

... Read moreUndergoing orthognathic surgery and genioplasty was an eye-opening experience for me. Although I was initially apprehensive about sharing my profile and recovery progress, reflecting on this journey taught me many valuable lessons. In the first few days after surgery, my face was extremely swollen, especially around the chin and neck areas, and I developed bruises that reminded me of the trauma my body was healing from. It was surprising to see how dramatically my appearance changed day by day, which made me realize how much patience and self-compassion are necessary during recovery. One surprising aspect was how my brain chemistry seemed affected temporarily, possibly due to anesthesia or surgical stress, which added an additional emotional layer to the physical healing process. Despite all this, the moment I saw my face in the mirror after surgery, I felt a spark of happiness because I liked the way my chin looked—it was a small but powerful affirmation during a vulnerable time. Family reactions varied; some told me they didn't notice much difference right away, which made me question my own perception, but looking back at before and after photos clearly showed positive changes. Sharing these moments publicly was daunting because of fear of judgment, yet it became a way to connect with others considering or recovering from similar surgeries. If you are thinking about similar procedures, my advice is to prepare emotionally and physically for swelling and bruising, allow yourself time to heal fully, and remember that the recovery journey includes highs and lows. Embrace the process, seek support, and don’t hesitate to document your experience if it helps you track your progress and maintain motivation.

No sabía que me estaba adaptando…
Yo pensaba que así era la vida. Cuando creces así, no lo cuestionas. Lo aprendes. Te conviertes en eso. Y un día te das cuenta… esto no soy yo. Esto es lo que aprendí a ser. Ahí es donde todo cambia. #autoconocimiento #cambiomentalidad #comosentirtecomotuotra vez #sanacion
