He read my mind! - Carmel Valley, CA

I haven't wanted a smaller nose with a smaller bump for as long as I can remember. In middle school I would even hide my nose from the people sitting next to me.. Yeah it was that bad to me. In only two days I'm getting the surgery done as a 21st birthday present to myself! I haven't been nervous until today, but that is mainly because I puke after every surgery I have. I'm allergic to the anesthesia and I've read that they take extra precautions wi rhinoplasty but it still makes me nervous. I've had a lot of different surgeries (none cosmetic) and was told no puking but still did. If anyone else has this reaction please let me know! Other than that I'm just excited!

So first off sorry for all the type o's on the first entry! I was up late reading about experiences and quickly decided to make my own!
But anyways my surgery was today And I am honestly feeling pretty great. I had absolutely no nausea thank god and only a little pain. Michelle, my nurse, was amazing and made the whole experience actually pretty fun. I don't have much bruising yet much well see tomorrow. The worst part is the dry mouth. I've been home for about 2.5 hours and took a nap. So far so good!

Okay so its been about 6 hours since I got home and I honestly feel great.. Ive eaten a lot of ice cream and ice chips, and have had no nausea whatsoever. I have been through about 5 or 6 surgeries and every single one has been hell. I wake up puking, crying, and just completely out of it for days so this has seriously been a fantastic experience. I could kiss Dr. Baron if I saw him right now hahah.
But as far as pain, I have only taken tylenol. Pain medicine also makes me sick and I knew I wouldnt want to take it so I kind of wish I never spent the money but its better to be safe than sorry. My drip pad seemed to bleed alot at first, but that has also slowed down a lot and is more comfortable. My eyes have some bruising now but really they just look super tan. I was surprised to find out they ended up breaking my nose so Im expecting more bruising. Overall, I feel like I didnt even have anything done!! Seriously.. my nose just feels stuffy and my lips are super dry. Other than that Im sitting on my bed doing homework right now... amazing.
