    Default Getting my nose done on Wednesday!!!

    I'm super fucking excited. I have wanted this since I was 15. I have a bump on my nose, it's too big for my face, and the tip is bulbous- it's all getting fixed! I paid for it in full in cash, now all I have to do is go to the operating room and then spend the week in bed recovering!

    I've got all my prescriptions filled, have someone to take me/take care of me after, have arnica/bromelain, stocked up on liquids to eat for the first couple days after, took off work for the whole month (actually 5-6 weeks) after to recover... so i'm set.. I'm just hella nervous about

    BEING HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. I'm worried that the doctor won't make it small/sloped enough for my liking, that the tip will be super swollen.. etc. I want a nose that is elegant, refined, one that you don't even notice because it's just there and you look at other parts of the face. I want my profile to improve, just by removing the bump and creating a more concave slope my profile will be awesome... I'm just worried the doctor won't do it enough. He did the digital imaging and I liked it, but I keep looking at his befores where he went conservative and wondering if the patients asked for a conservative approach- but there's no way of knowing.

    I'm thinking of calling the office and asking if I can talk to previous patients ... or if anyone who works for him has gotten a rhino if I can talk to them- i just want it to be enough!

    I'm probably just freaking for no reason though- it should be great. Im going to do lots of positive visualization and relaxing the couple days before so I'm in a good state of mind. I know it sounds crazy but the first time I went to get lip injections (juvederm) I passed out and she couldn't finish. I didnt' do any relaxing/visualizations before- the second time I didn't pass out and everything went fine-- before I went I told my body that it was okay for this to happen to my body and that it was okay to accept this physical change- I know it sounds loony but it worked! ( i was also lying down flat, so i'm sure that helped).

    Has anyone else gotten a rhino? Are you happy? Any advice for recovery? How much pain/bruising?? My doctor doesn't pack (THANK GOD) so that discomfort won't be there.

    How soon before you went back to work? How soon before you started working out moderately (like elliptical/walking on an incline), how soon before you could run again?

    thanks!!! below are my digital before after that I did and just a normal before. From head on my nose looks fine, straight, narrow, just a little bulbous at the tip- you can really tell from the side and 3/4 view how bulbous the tip is and of course the profile is just awful.

    i dont want to say my dr's name because this site is google-able if i write his name down, but he is an artist in his personal life which is one of the reasons i picked him. A girl I work with got her boobs done by him and they are amazing- but rhinoplasty is his favorite procedure to do.

    i'm going to call the office monday for sure and request to talk to previous patients!

    Deffo talk to previous patients - and if he's a reputable surgeon he won't have a problem with it. I really hope it all goes well.

    You're gonna look amazing 'cos you're gorgeous already!

    I just got home a little over an hour ago.... I am so fucking happy I finally did this.

    My side profile is already improved amazingly- it's low profile just like I wanted. They kind of rushed me through the prep so I didn't have time to get nervous, got the IV, walked into the OR, laid down, then they put this mask over my face and i felt like I couldn't exhale and it tasted gross for a couple second and then I was out...


    next thing I remember is waking up-- but the tube was still in my throat so they extubated me while the tube was in- no big deal- it always look so dramatic on tv and that was always one of my biggest fears for getting surgery was waking up with the tube still down--- but i was so out of it i didn't care- kinda just felt really rough/scratchy back there..I also remember being transferred to the hospital bed but then I zonked out again and woke up all nice and warm (and super alert and talkative) like 10 minutes later.

    I made another youtube video- you can see the profile- it's amazing. I'm so happy i finalllllly went through with it and I can't believe I actually did it! I don't know why I waited so long, aside from the money... i wish I could have done this when I was 16.

    My eyes aren't that swollen at all, it just looks like I just woke up. No bruising yet, but i'm taking arnica every 2 hours and starting bromelain after the bleeding stops because i read it can thin the blood.

    The most annoying thing is the stupid mustache drip pad... having to change that. like a maxi pad on my face. Also he used a plaster cast and I am a very animated person so when I was talking after the surgery the cast peeled up a little bit on the sides and forehead- it's not touching my forehead barely at all, and one side is up more than the other- which worries me, but I called the doc and he said it was fine because my nose is taped underneath and there's nothing he can do about it right now...

    so i get the cast taken off tuesday.... so I have 5 full days of resting/recuperating/being stuck in the house. yay.

    I had no nausea either... maybe a little when i first got up but that was only from the breathing tube stimulating the back of my throat and having a dry mouth... now i feel fine- dizzy when i walk so I'm just staying in bed the whole time..

    SOOO Fucking happy i did this.

    Its gonna look amazing. Congratulations. BTW I had no idea a smooshed nostril was a sign of a deviated septum. I have also always had a smooshed nostril. Its literally a tiny slit. LOL

    I just watched your videos! This is very interesting to me because my nose looks very much like your nose did before the surgery. I have always been curious about getting a nose job but since I don't have a deviated septum or get sinus infections I don't think I will. Thanks for sharing!

    PS you're gorgeous

    hey guys... im feeeling good today besides the stitches in my columella are annoying because if i move my top lip if feels like they're being pulled on, and the tape covering the stitches is also partly covering my nostrils so i am a legit mouth-breather now

    I have to go to the dr tomorrow to get the cast taken off and replaced with a tighter fitting one... this one is off my forehead and peeling off one side of my nose and there need to be even pressure- i'm not sure if he's going to put me under twilight for that or if i'll be conscious.. but hopefully it's easy and painless and he tells me my nose is perfect even though the cast peeled. AHHH!

    my dog is also driving me crazy and i kind of wish i boarded him for the recovery period.

    it's also super hard to eat because i can't move my lips well... so far since the surgery i've had half a coconut yogurt, a soy pudding, and a vegan protein drink.... only to take my meds-- i literally have no appetite, which is kind of cool- my body is using all its energy towards healing

    if anyone is considering doing it just do it-- i wish i would have done this sooner it's amazing how easy the whole thing was.
