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.
