Hi there, I've just seen your post. I also had open rhino by Huw Williams but I'm a few days behind you. The Nuffield hospital was really lovely wasn't it?! And Huw is a very skilled surgeon, and he's easy to talk to which helps!
My story hasn't been half as dramatic as yours! I just wondered how your healing up? I'm a bit concerned about the scar on mine. It's seems to step down and is very red still and bumpy looking. I've also got a lot of swelling prob similar to some of your later pics, but not overly bothered about that as its to be expected.
Are you noticing much difference in your healing, as you are going into week 2 post op now?
Hope to hear back from you :)

Hello glad it went well!:)
I wouldn't worry about the scar a couple of days ago I was quite worried but it's flattered down and only a little red! It's changed so much the last few days!:)
the swelling has gone down a lot the last few days too I can feel the bone on my nose!:)
Try not to worry!:) the cut under the nose was very prominent since the operation but it has changed I'd say the last 3 or 4 days ago!:)
I hope that helps. Try not to worry!:) remember there is disposable stitches in the corners of the nostril which may irritate it abut but they will dissolve alone, or as mine did fall out!:)

I'll try and put some pictures up later, so you can see!:)
If your not already try and keep it dry, free from chemicals and soap. Just incase that is irritating it:) xx

That would be great to see some more pics. As my new nose looks very similar to yours! The Nuffield noses! (Lol)! Be good to get a glimpse into the future to see what I can expect in nxt week or so! I thought that the surgery would be the hardest part of this whole processes but for me it's been the recovery period. It's been ok but wasn't expecting so much swelling etc. some days it looks like I'm wearing a prosthetic nose and it feels like concreate! I have been picking, wearing make up, washing it all off etc. which I'm sure is making swelling a bit worse but I couldn't go without the make up so will have to suffer the consequences I suppose. Thanks for the reply. Hope to hear from you soon! :)

My nose is starting to feel more life like! I forget I have even had it done! The tip still feels odd like a numb pain when touched too hard!
The scar is really changing day by day, maybe put make up everywhere but the scar, that what I have been doing and I don't think anyone's noticed.
I will keep posting photos of the scar, the one I just put up is at 2 weeks 2 days, so to give you idea if yours is doing the same thing or better. I shall put another up later this evening or tomorrow of a more recent one! :) Hope its all going okay! :D

Wow, this is so strange! I was looking at your blog as I also had a Rhinoplasty by Huw and was doing some google research whilst in recovery, only to realise that I was there the same day as you! I was the reason you were delayed by those few hours!! Sorry about that, my nose turned out to be more difficult than expected once it was opened up as have had previous operation. My nose was broken in the past which was the reason for operation and have had one Rhinoplasty already.
Sorry to hear that you had such a bad time afterwards, although good to hear you are now better and loving the new nose.

Haha o wow! Yes they came in to say the person before me (You! :)) was more complicated than they first expected! Haha don't be sorry I had it done in the end!! :D Hope your nose is much better now and healing! :)

I also wanted to continue on to say that, it is very rare so I hope people don't get put off from reading my story, If I could do it all over again I would. I think that's when you really know how much i wanted this procedure. Obviously i would try and cut out that bit of my story.
I put my family and partner through a lot, my mum refused to leave the hospital and spent the night in the chair next to me. They were all so stressed as I was so close to having a blood transfusion and being told if they can't stop it is fatal.
Now I have to take it easy for a while, just in case. I had no pain or discomfort in my nose. It is very numb to touch, wondering how long that takes to come back?
