How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Thank god the cast is off! It was such a drag. The last 2 days it started to itch where the stitches were which was extremely annoying.
Having the cast off was not a plesant experience. It felt as if my nose was being torn off my face. OUCH! The stitches also hurt but not as much as I thought they would. When the nurse cleaned the inside it hurt a bit too. Not all the gunk inside of my nose has gone because it's mostly dried blood and swelling so I can't breathe properly yet. I can smell a little bit and taste a bit too. A little better than it was.
When the cast came off, I looked into the mirror and my nose looked smaller. It looked very swollen, but it was smaller and neater. I don't look much different to how I was before, I just have a neater looking nose, which is what I wanted. But who knows, the swelling will go down and it might look a lot different. But it's nice.
I still can't move my upper lip, but managed to eat a sandwich which was nice because I've missed eating my favourite foods :)
Personally, I think the worst part of the whole experience is the anticipation before hand and the week with the cast on.
I will upload some pictures later or in a few days!

The surgeon also said it was a very very difficult nose to do. He's done it but i'm scared I'll need revision surgery when I'm older.
At the moment I don't know what to think about it all, it's all a bit too much to take in. It's such a strange feeling.

Today I've felt much better! Sleeping hasn't actually been a problem, however my lower back/bum extremely hurts and gets so stiff and achy. I keep having to go on little walks around the house.
I'm just wondering when I will get my sense of taste and smell back? Is it when the cast comes off?
I can't wait to eat properly again! I love my food haha
Also, when the cast came off, were you able to chew properly again? Or was it still a bit numb?
1 more day until the cast comes off :) yay
