WORTH IT$8,400
For as nervous as I was to go through with this...I can't even believe the recovery is going so smooth!
I haven't taken a single pain pill yet!!!
I will say that I have more swelling today and may be slightly bruising, but, NOTHING compared to what I thought I would be experiencing!
I'm getting a little ancy and have my mom helping out with the mess of laundry I've left in my bedroom. Both my mom and husband have been my "post procedure helpers"...I am getting bored not doing much...
I will post some pics soon from right after surgery to today and then again WED after I get home from getting my split changed out.
Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can help you out with in "calming" your nerves!!! My experience has been incredible!

Day 5 - Post Surgery - Stitches Out
Can you say OUCH? Getting my stitches out and my nostrils cleaned out has been the most painful part of this whole process so far...I am just excited I was cleared for a glass of wine on Thanksgiving!
I get my cast off next WEDNESDAY!!! Let the countdown begin!

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Still feeling stronger every day...a little dizzy from the cast still on my nose...I think it must be throwing off my line of vision!
Had to run to the store for my family who is cooking this morning...it was good to go "solo" on an errand!! I did it!
The check out guy couldn't believe how "good" I looked! He was shocked I didn't have any bruising...just still a little swelling!
Hope you are all doing well!

Hello Heidi!
Nice to have this site from you it give encouragement for others!
I will have it done next Wednesday the 28th and just i'm in ear if i can breathe properly after the surgery.Have you experienced any difficulty since the surgery?
They say they narrow the nostrils and sometimes issue to get air and have do corrective post operation...by the way you look amazing i can't wait to see you without the cast! thank you for your time, looking forward to keep in touch with you! kindly, Mary

Hi Mary and Happy Black Friday!!
My nostrils are VERY skinny! I was able to still breath a "little" out of my left nostril right away after surgery, then, when I got my stitches out WED, I was able to breath through both of the already. I will say that I can tell I'm still swollen and stuffy "inside" my nose and will say that there are some parts of the day when I can breath more than others!
Make sure you have some great lip balm because you will for sure be doing more mouth breathing than normal!!!
Less than a week for your surgery!!! YIPEEEE!!! I can only imagine how excited you must be! Let the countdown begin!!!
Let me know if you have any other questions!!! I'm always happy to respond...I think this site is great!

Wow thank you so much Heidi, this is incredible! you will be my only contact for a week since i do this in secrecy i didn't tell anyone and i broke up with my boyfriend in august so i just wanna get over with this alone!! So im worried a bit about this nostril issue did they say the breathing will be back normal after the swelling goes down? i have to get back to work on Dec 11th just wondering if i'll be presentable in 13 days?? Thank you for Black Friday im looking for a good bike on discount !! I'm very excited about this nose thing but have some fear with swelling and breathing... thanks again for your time, get back to me when you have time it's great to connect here!

I forgot to ask what was the date of your surgery? just to get an idea with recovery! Thanxxx so much for your help!
November 23, 2012
I think 13 days is about good. You may have bruising and swelling still, but, you may not!! Even if you do, there's so many great concealers available out there!!
I am suppose to go back to work on day 10, but, will probably wait until day 12 after my cast comes off...I just don't feel like dealing with that with all the work people!!! :-)
November 24, 2012
yes for sure! i was told my cast will come off after one week. it's good to compare situations! wow a week ago u had the surgery and you look like nothing happened except the cast! i hope to be the same. i will show u picture too very soon! you giving me such support thank you million time! talk soon, have a great weekend!!
