that is so funny what your anesthesiologist said!! I think mine said something along those lines as well.. "it's gonna feel like a beer and 2 shots of tequila" and then I asked him "How long does it take for it to kick in?" & He responded, "Ohh just about 4-6 seconds.." & literally after that I was out!!
Good Luck on your recovery!! I just got my cast off 2 days ago (Monday). As the days go by you see more bruising and more swelling but it's actually not that bad. My brusing is prob 95% gone, just a little bit of a dark reddish tone on my upper eye lids along my lash line. Not bad. :)
Keep us updated!!!

Hey! I'm glad everything went well. You're lucky, so far it seems like you barely have any bruising, and I can already see the change in your nose's shape through the gauze. It looks great! Keep us updated :)

Sadie, I wish I was able to get my nose done at your age. I waited until age 45 LOL. Well, I am happy now. Please just be prepared for residual swelling that may last longer than you anticipated. I am now 7 1/2 months post-op and still have a bit of swelling at the tip. Just be as patient as possible, it will be a work in progress. Please update us with future pix. To a speedy recover...

You should ask your surgeon if you can clean the dried bits out of your nostrils with q-tips dipped in rubbing alcohol. I can't remember when I started that, but it helped immensely!
