I Finally Had my Nose Op!

Hello to whoever's reading this, I have finally had a septhorinoplasty last Friday. I've had quite a lot of bruising, but am taking Arnica tablets 4 times a day. From what I can see so far, my nose looks way better, even though my cast is still on?. My surgeon did not show any before or afters, only what I saw on the website?. I just went with my "gut Feeling" on I felt I could trust him, and giving me his honest opinions about what he could do?. I had s problem with one sided breathing allso, which now feels SO much better!. I know it's early days, but I'm counting the days till next Tuesday for the stitches and cast removal!. Professor Ilnkanvan is in my opinion a very polite and unassuming man, who I genuinely think knows his stuff.

Looks like it’s going to be a perfect nose. Please update when you have your cast removed. I can’t wait to see it.

Thanks, hoping it will look ok apart from the swelling?, think we'd all like a perfect nose!. I see yours turned out lovely!. I think this site is really interesting in reading up others stories, makes me feel that I'm not the only one going through this!?.

Ah, thank you for our kind words. I’m so glad I joined this site. Not sure if I would have gone through it otherwise. So glad I did. Thought my obsession with reading people’s stories would have stopped after finally getting mine done, but I’m on it all the time, I really hadn’t prepared myself for all the emotions! I just assumed I would be so happy after hating my old nose for so long. Don’t get me wrong, I am, but the unpredictability of the swelling after cast removal was a shocker. Be prepared for that. I’m still understandably swollen, but nothing like the week after cast removal. Just got to keep looking back at old photos to remind yourself why you’ve done it. I’m confident it will all be totally worth it, just got to be patient because it’s a long road to recovery. Please update with photos. I’m excited for you x
