Have you ever went to the supermarket without your make up on and you see everyone you know.....well my first adventure out and I thought - oh I know I'll go to the supermarket, I'm bound to bump into people I know. I'll be able to see if they notice my new nose.
So I pulled up at the supermarket. Strolled on in with my trolley.....casually browsing the aisles, and there is not one person I know! How dare people I know not be there! I actually feel like announcing over the loud speaker that I have a new nose!
Now normally when I go anywhere public I'm on edge incase someone looks at me and mentions my nose. Not today. Today I practically skipped round the supermarket. Head held high. I know my nose isn't big anymore, so I really don't care if people look, in fact I want them looking. Got to say its very liberating !! I can't wait to go out to a pub or restaurant, my head is going to be so far in the air that I'm gonna need surgery on my neck hahaha
Anyone who is thinking about surgery cos they hate what they see in the mirror or insecure or intimidated in case someone says something about their nose - my advise is look into surgery. I've never felt like this before. I want to go out in public, I want to be centre of attention, I want to be able to look at people instead of to the floor and not catching there eye. More importantly I can't wait for my wedding and for the photographer to take my picture. Woohoo this is the beginning of something fabulous, and I can't wait for the ride to start

Well the cast is off FINALLY!
Im not going to lie, the first time looking in the mirror was a major shock. The shock was replaced by panic because I initially couldn't see past the swelling. Now I'm feeling good about it all, I know it's going to take time for the swelling to go down. I just can't believe it's me when I look in the mirror. My eyes are looking at me, but my brain doesn't compute that it is me. It's all just a bit mad!
I'm a bit concerned as well, as I was washing my face and the side of my nose has kind of dinted. I e-mailed my lovely consultant and he thinks its just the swelling that's Sank in. So I have to keep an eye on it. It's all just fragile and it's a long long process. I just want to see the end result haha
I think I'm going to love it

Your nose looks fantastic and, from the front, it doesn't even look too swollen! Do you mind me asking who your surgeon is? And where about in GB he is? I'm trying to meet as many surgeons as i can and yours looks like he did a really great job!

I've put a hell of a lot of make up on haha!
Surgeons name is Mr Erdmann, he is a lovely man. He is based in the North East England. He did a lot of work, and I'm happy with everything.

Wow how thrilled you must be to have that dreadful cast off and finally see your newly modeled nose. I totally get the weird feeling when looking in the mirror. You look gorgeous and will continue to improve over the next few months. Congrats!

I was climbing the walls when the cast was on. I literally ended up counting down the hours, minutes and seconds haha!
When it came off it was like a massive PHHHEWWWW thank goodness that's off. Now I'm back to looking in the mirror haha never looked in the mirror so much! I used to avoid it, now I'm like spying on myself all the time haha
How are you? I hope you are doing well :-)

That's so cute! I'm doing well after my brief hiccup. I have a check up with my PS next Tuuesday, then I'll do a 4 week post op review and pics. Keep enjoying that nose and I hope you are running into people you know everywhere you go. I have started seeing more acquaintances this week, like my hairdresser, staff at school and the general comment seems to be, "Gee you look pretty today!" So, I think they are noticing something different but haven't identified that it is my nose.....funny hey?!! Keep up the great healing work :)
February 5, 2013
Woo hoo! I'm so glad you love it so far! It looks fantastic and can only get better from here! Congrats beautiful woman! ;) I can't believe how long you had to wait for the cast removal! You must feel SO much relief!
February 5, 2013
Woohoo !!! Well thank you
11 days I had that horrible cast on! I was beginning to think it was my actual nose haha.
It's funny because I was more nervous getting the cast off, then I was getting the operation. Now my eyes have adjusted I know I've done the right thing. Eeeeee that's my new nose!! Check it out man hahaha
Hope all is well with you :-)

Day 9 and I really want this cast and plasters off my face.
It's driving me nuts. I look and feel absolutly minging because i have the same disgusting blood drenched plasters and cast on my face! It's day 9 man, everyone else has had there cast off ( I'm soooo jealous of you all haha) it's not like I can take the plasters off and replace them either because it will knock the cast off. ( I've tried taking them off, naughty me! It was a disaster)
I have to admit that I have been a bad, bad girl as I've been picking, prodding and fiddling with the plasters and my nose..........in my defense i really can't help it!!! I'm saying to myself...."leave it!!!" But as I'm saying it my finger starts to slyly go up my nostril or up over the plaster (ok that sounds bad, it's not what you think. I'm not like ramming my finger up there, it's like gently touching the outta nostril area). My curiosity is getting the better of me, it's like seeing someone naked - even though you know you shouldnt look, you just have to look haha -I know I shouldn't touch but I'm all over it like a rash.
Anyway.....my rant is over, only a couple of sleeps till this cast is removed and my new nose is revealed. Eeeeeee I wonder what it looks like............hopefully not a comedy nose that honks when you touch it or something like that hahaha happy new nose!!!
