So I got my bottom wisdom teeth taken out yesterday because they were badly impacted and had nerves wrapped around them and were infected. I am probably going back to school on Tuesday or Wednesday and my face is super swollen and sensitive. any hair and makeup ideas for when I go back to school? I am super self conscious of my face being so swollen.
Thank you!

Honestly, I wouldn't do anything. I had all 4 taken out, granted I was already well out of school; but I didn't feel like doing anything but sleep and watch tv

I agree with Jackie, even just trying to blend makeup over the swollen areas might irritate it even more plus I'm sure it would hurt.

I went to work the day after I had mine taken out, all of them badly impacted and they put me under for the surgery. I will say I didn't wear makeup, but I did sleep that night with cool gel packs on both sides of my face and that helped a ton with the swelling. Hope you feel better soon.

Yes Jackie I know how you feel, I have practically slept all day yesterday when I got home and today!

Alexis, you're definitely right because I can't even touch my face.. I wasn't thinking.

I had four oral surgeries in a four month span and could not be bothered to wear makeup afterwards. I did not want to touch my face! (Ice packs and elevating were helpful to reduce swelling.) If I were to do anything, I would apply masacara and that's all. Maybe lip balm because the skin on my lips and around my mouth was irritated.

I wouldn't use any makeup apart from concealer if you really need it, eyebrows and mascara. I would also maybe leave your hair down as having it up you will probably be more conscious of the swelling. But I hope your feeling better soon! I know how it feels, I've had 11 teeth taken out, soon to be 13:( ♡
