You’ve seen the glow-ups. The jawlines. The symmetry.
But here’s the part that doesn’t always make it to Instagram:

Let’s walk through what recovery actually feels like,
with no fluff, just clear facts and verified experience.
Not in the way many people think.
Facial bones don’t have pain receptors. So while the idea of “cutting bone” sounds scary, the pain you’ll actually feel comes from the soft tissue that was moved during surgery—skin, muscle, and fat.
Most patients describe it as:

Stitches are usually removed around this point. Swelling begins to go down, and you may start to feel a bit more comfortable.

This is when your final results appear. Nerve sensation usually returns fully, and your contours reach their most natural look.
Facial contouring isn’t just about the before & after.
It’s about what happens in between—the recovery, the small changes, and the care it takes to get there.
