I had a frenectomy earlier this month, and I can say without a doubt, that the recovery was a little trickier than expected, especially when it came to finding foods I could eat. Everyone’s healing time is different. I had really extreme accident that led to me needing surgery, and it was really scary and I’m only halfway through the process. I wanted to make this for people who might be going through something similar, in the hopes that you might feel a little less overwhelmed. Day 1: couldn’t really feel my face and it was so swollen and bruised that I could barely drink water Day 2: extra swollen and foggy, drinking water became easier Days 3-4 swelling peaked for me, and I had really bad dysmorphia looking in the mirror, but could start eating foods like mashed potatoes Here’s to a speedy recovery for all!
