It has been apparent for a while now, that the face will not come back to near symmetry even after all treatment and recovery is over.
The way it looks after aspirating the deposited saliva each time is an indication of how it would look.
So, the visuals of the future face has a 20% more chubbier left cheek that droops down, dragging the corner of the lips down. Enough to re-do passport, driving license and all other IDs !
This has been a certain something, that everyone knew at home. But no one talked about it. The discussion has always been, it will be normal.
However, last time after the aspiration on my way back, my wife figured this is the right time to start accpeting it.
She broke the silence about it, "You have to prepare yourself to get back your confidence with the new face. When the recovery is complete, you should not let your face pull your own confidence down."
Well ! Its great it came out in the open. And ability to just talk about it openly, and not wishing it away, is the first step to acceptance.
And once acceptance is there, rest of it follows.
