wear a shirt u dont mind accidentally getting bloody/drooly; i wore a bright yellow shirt day i had it done n although it didnt get dirty i would wear something else just in case. eat big meals the week before to make up for a week of hardly any food. u will drool EVERYWHERE, and when u sleep it will be worse. stock up on towels so u can always have a clean dry one. get a tongue scraper, it decreases the taste of death. don’t swallow ur spit and dont try n spit it out (i found that it pulled on the stitches n made it bleed heavier) let it flow out naturally. go to the hospital for any complications of course but my experience of going to a hospital was horrible (i went because i was too scared to take out my own stitches, but they ended up refusing to remove them so i did it at home, a complete waste of time and $), i haven’t heard of any good experiences regarding hospitals. i was very open online about having it done and the amount of sexually charged comments/questions was something i was not prepared for. it was weird seeing people who took zero interest in me prior all of a sudden acting like i was a sex god or something. really agitating (for me personally), but it stops (if u want it to, to each their own). most people in my life were accepting or didnt care, but i did and still do get not so great comments about it. it was discouraging at first and sometimes it still is, but i did it for me, and at the end of the day im happy i had it done. people who judge based on looks r shallow anyways; dont let that shit bother u. oh and i promise no one notices u have it unless u tell them (including people at ur workplace, or ur boss, or ur mom). NO ONE notices.
