Septoplasty with Rhinoplasty

So I'll upload a bunch of pictures later, but I had pretty much forgotten about this review, to be honest, once everything turned out ok! The run up to the surgery was super nerve wracking and scary, but between my doctor being so practical and the recovery being pretty ok, after the first few days, I more or less forgot about the whole thing! My nose is still very hard at the tip, which is to be expected! I'm just over 3 months post off now, and very glad |I| had the procedure! My nose isn't even a second thought anymore, and I rarely get migraines. They've been reduced to about 20% of what they used to be. Which is the best thing ever. I'm so happy about that. The doctor is going to email me some pictures soon, of my before and after, and when I get those I'll put them up, but as it stands, my swelling is more or less gone and I would recommend him 100%. He didn't listen to my irrational pleading for a smaller nose, as he knew that it would look fake and not suit my face. He improved what I already had without changing it or altering the actual structure of my nose, so I shouldn't have to worry about anything going wrong later on in life.

If I could change one thing it would be to remove a little bit more of my septum on the right side of my nose. Because it was so badly deviated, he had to remove a lot on the left side, and not as much on the right side, so as to keep it even. Or something like that. I don't know, he explained it to me and it made sense, but my brain took a week's holiday to Boston and I'm only just starting to wake up again. It's all a little fuzzy.

My scar under my nose has healed AMAZINGLY well. It's practically invisible without makeup. No hypertrophic or keloid scars and that is a definite A+ in my book.

As far as the secretary goes, my contact with her has been minimal. I never booked my 6 week follow up appointment because I was too afraid to talk to her, but the office ended up contacting me, and with some attitude she booked me in. As difficult and unfriendly and off-putting as she was, I do not regret going with Doctor Harney, and found him to be friendly, helpful and he put the nose first, not my neurosis.

I am getting my cast off today and I am SO EXCITED! Even though it isn't so much for the finished product, as my surgeon says he didn't do too much cosmetically, but for the bloody itching to stop! I'm a bit afraid for the pain though so I'll take a difene halfway through my drive to his office. It is roughly an hour and a half commute to get there, so it should fully sink in without making me drowsy!

I cut back on the painkillers, as of day 3, as I was experiencing constipation, TMI I know, and I din't want to put my body under too much stress. However, at this point, Day 5, I am having a good bit of pain and the urge to itch is UNBEARABLE!!! Any recommendations? I'm afraid to fall asleep in case I pull my cast off in my sleep!!!!
