    Damn, I bet that is miserable. My husband and I had to wear those stockings on our loooooooong-ass flight to Australia (we took the scenic route so we were in transit for about two days). I will never forget the smell that choked us both when he finally pulled those stockings off... two days of sweaty unwashed balls crammed into nylon. We both actually retched.

    Why do you need a body stocking for nose surgery? As far as the nose cast, the itching is going to get worse! If you have any leftover valium, take those, it will relieve your anxiety so you don't worry so much about the itch....

    something to do with blood clots form not moving all that much apparently. i took them off, and i seem fine.

    they also said not to shower, well, wtf? my hair is a grease pit, as soon as my partner gets home im having one!! ive looked all over the internet and seen nothing about not showering after a nose job. bs.

    stupid aussie doctors. i think i have it in for them.


    ohhhh god, i cant wait to lather my hair up!!!! id jump around the room if i could, but my boobs hurt still. lol

    oh, and i didnt need valium after all. on the day i was calm as, weird really.

    Hmmm, they never told me anything or gave me anything. Of course, my surgery wasn't a full rhinoplasty, so perhaps something was different. And they don't want you to wash your hair so water doesn't get in it but I'm sure your boyfriend can do it for you gently once he is there. I bet it will be great, I want some work done on my Paris Hilton like hook!

    When I had my otoplasty (ear pinning) the hospital sent a nurse to my house to wash my hair coz my head was in a bandage. Did you go public or private? Mine was private which is prob why.

    Were the stockings for the rhinoplasty or the breast implants?

    all ps is done private in aussie isnt it? i paid $1200 to sit in a stupid bed in the day surgery for 2 hours- musta been private!! lol

    the stockings were from the anesthesia. i took them off last night, havent had a problem, im going in today to see them and ask them why the fuck i was told to leave them on so long, and not shower.

    i washed my hair last night. BLISS!!!!! omfg, i felt soooooooo good afterwards. stupid fucking drs, i could have been doing that all along.

    alrighty, babes, I got this one.
    The surgical stockings are very important! They prevent (sometimes fatal) embolisms. However, after about 10 days, they're not terribly neccessary, unless you are a smoker, and/or you're not moving around much yet. However, it's perfectly safe to take them off for an hour everyday, so they can be washed (get rid of the stench), and you can take the time to shave, lotion and what-have-you. The hair washing thing is just because they don't want you to need to tilt your head back, no looking straight up or straight down for you. It can cause LOTS of bleeding, changing the pressure on the wound inside your nose is traumatic....so it's all about keeping your head straight. If you can lie down on your back, and have your boyfriend do it for you, that'd be best. Just try to take it easy, and get some rest. Hope you recover quickly!

    yeah, i know they are *ment* to be importnat. but it was sooo fustrating.

    im active as hell, god after surgery i wanted to walk to the car. but the nurse made my sit in a wheelchair.dumb. i was up and about at home as soon as i got in the door from about 4 hours post op. i dont smoke. and it was soooo hot here.

    ah well, theyre gone now, and im still alive

    and ive been showering, and havent had a problem. i guess they just like to be over cautious to cover themselves. still..... it sucked for me.

    Eeep. I'd listen to the doctors, most of the time they know what they're talking about. What kind of work did you get done?

    When I had jaw surgery they put these bubly leg things on that went up and down to prevent that but I only had them on for a day (while I was there).

    You are speaking to the girl (marmaidnz) who only days after having her initial BA in Thailand went SHOPPING! She can't sit still for too long Love her to death tho' lol! Some people just can't be all the "rest and relax" type. I know my father is one of those people as all the family holidays I went on involved alot of activities never any "lounging around" time.

    I guess that is why I'm the polar opposite. I love my lounging around/rest.

    I don't know actually. I have had two operations - one plastic surgery and one a laporoscopy (spelling?) and the latter was done public - I got there at 8am and didn't get operated on until 5pm!

    The plastic surgery operation was done private and I went in and got operated on almost straight away, was treated way better and got a home nurse sent here to wash my hair. I didn't have to pay for the hospital stay as I have private health insurance.

    plastic surgery isnt covered by and medical cover unless it is for reconstruction...elective surgery like what i had was paid for out of my own pocket....like all boob jobs etc.

    im pretty sure it was private. ive never heard of a surgeon performing such operations at a public hospital lol, and the $1200 in day surgery fees was just to cover my post op care of 2 hours sitting in the bed after the op before i went home.

    Yeh I paid out of pocket for the actual surgeons fees but the hospital fee is covered by private health insurance such as HBA (my provider). I had day surgery too and that was covered by my insurance.

    How are u recovering? Do you have black eyes at all? Is your nose still a bit swollen or can u already see the new shape?

    I would wear the stockings for the full 10 days, but just take them off long enough to bathe, shave, etc and wash the things before putting them back on. And if you are careful with the shower and have your SO help, I see no reason not to do that too, a couple days after surgery. Better safe than sorry, but there are ways to work around the "rules" without ruining your healing and surgery results.

    I know it's a pain in the ass and boring as fuck to be stuck "relaxing" and such for days on end, but caution now can really pay off with better healing and less risk of screwing up what you just paid alot of your hard-earned money for
