Great pics. I'd like to know the answer regarding scarring too as mine will be open too. Keep up the great healing :)

Wow, I'm amazed at the lack of swelling and black and blue eyes. Your doc did a great job! I had sutures under my nose too, and at day 16 you can't even tell I had stitches there. I don't think I could do the twilight deal though. You are braver than I am!

Thanks Mari, I hope mine heal that well. The Twilight was a bit wierd but honestly I would do it again in a heartbeat. It was almost like I was a spectator. The thing I really liked was NOT having the after effects of general anesthesia. I am so excited. I would like to wish you all a Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas tomorrow. I will share details tomorrow when my boys are gone. Gonna chillax with them now..

Funny you say that many women have done this surgery. Since I have done mine I cannot stop looking at everyone's noses and trying to figure out if they had it done too. Some I can actually tell others I cannot but wonder if they have. This is going to be an obsession of mine now although I really hate it because nose is the first thing I look at when I meet someone. I swear its like buying a car that you think no one has but once you buy it everyone seems to have it and you keep seeing it on the street all the time when you didn't see it before.

On another note. You look great! You don't seem to have a lot of bruising and swelling as I did. I bet you cannot wait to get that cast off. Mine came off in 5 days. The doctor was trying to schedule an appointment with me 6 days after the surgery but I could not wait and made an appointment for 5 days. He said it was fine and no big deal.

Today is day 3 post op. I started to get a little more swelling and a partial black eye. I had a little nasea today but all is pretty well. My nose is full of dried blood so no breathing from it today. I cannot wait to see my new nose. I took the gauze off and that is great.
Overall, my nose does not hurt at all. I have hardly had any pain at all, no headache or anything and this was a full rhino/septo. I was partially awake during the procedure and I have to say, given the choice I would do it all over again like that. I remember talking and hearing everything. I also remember not having to wake up from general anesthesia which is great. I didn't get sick or anything.
I do not have packing, but I am so excited.
How long does it take to start being the shape that it is going to be?
I had to go get dog food so here I am driving.

Hi everyone, I did it yay. Went into my procedure at noon today, yes about 6 hours ago? It was so much easier than I thought and my surgeon did everything. Septo-Rhinoplasty was done under twilight anesthesia, yes I was talking and aware of everything. What I liked is I never had to go through the awful wake up process. I got up and dresses 30 mins later and my friend took me home. I was not intubatedd and do not have any packing.
I will take pictures as I sit here and write.
