Seven days post OP- Cast came off last night!
I have to tape it every day for a month as much as I can. Especially for sleeping... it's hell getting the tape residue to come off my nose in order to apply makeup so I suggest ordering "Detachall" which is what my doc uses... you can get it for about $18 on Amazon and it's worth it! I tried everything you can imagine and more, my counter looked like a chemistry experiment gone wrong.
The final thing sort of bothering me is the weird feeling in my tip, the numbness and stiffness is really a hard sensation to get used to.
Still, I'd do this all over again a million times over!
Today is day five and tomorrow is Cast Off Nose Partay!
During this healing time, all my make up and wallet was stolen.. So going to get renewed ID and dealing with bank stuff etc has been an added stress that I really didn't need right now. Thank goodness they didn't need a current pic to renew my license...
I've scheduled a MAC make up application right after the cast is off to celebrate! I know I'll be swollen still and bruised but I am so excited to see what's under the splint.
This is TMI but I can also say I'm anxious about not pooing as much as I usually do so I've been drinking prune juice, taking laxatives, stool softeners, magnesium and tons of water and fruit. I'm hoping I'm not alone in this struggle;)
Thank goodness for this community!
Swelling setting in!
Provider Review
This is my second review for Dr. Naficy and his staff. I should have waited to do my first review until after my procedure. I have so much more to say now. First, yes, he is the most expensive surgeon for rhinoplasty in this area but with a double board cert in ENT and Plastic, he is the man for the task! He performs 200 rhinos a year when most plastic surgeons do about 7. But you wouldn't know it in the care he takes with each case... it feels like you're the only one. The day of my procedure, I was literally terrified and between Stacey, my op nurse, Kim, my CRNA and Dr. Naficy, I got through it and honestly would do it again tomorrow... The lack of bruising and swelling I endured during healing is, I am sure, directly related to the gentle hand of Dr. Naficy. I have high blood pressure and have since I was 14, I also take a lot of excedrin for headaches so I would have been even more prone to swelling and bruising than the average patient. I love my results! He did everything he said he would while also making sure my expectations were reasonable. I am eight days post op and had to call him the day after surgery with a question, I was very anxious about... he answered in the evening on a Saturday, right away and was reassuring and kind. My only suggestion is that along with the kick ass care packages of special cover up, tape, fluffy socks and See's Candies; that they send patients home with the oil they use in the office to remove the splint and tape- Detachol! Seriously, the 30 days of taping and adhesive residue is the worst part of the whole healing!! Thank you Dr. Naficy for making a dream come true for me, for helping me find my confidence in my appearance again for being worth the financial commitment, drama and pain this whole journey involves.
