I know everyone heals at a different rate but I'm wondering if 2 weeks off of work is enough to pull off a "discreet" rhinoplasty... I'm literally the only woman amongst hundreds of men at my job (I'm in construction). I get enough stares as it is on a daily basis. I'm scared that if I show up at work looking operated on, I'm never going to hear the end of the rumors, teasing, remarks. Also, I don't plan on telling my family about the surgery. I'm looking to schedule surgery the first week of November. Can I show my face at the Thanksgiving table 3 weeks later without my nose job being the topic of conversation?? I'm not scared of surgery or recovery....but I'm terrified of being seen after surgery. I would love to hear your experience.
