I'm now 24 days post op and was just starting to...
My bruising is finally almost gone, but this evening my four year old accidentally smashed (& I mean SMASHED) my nose. The blow was with his shoulder and from below me do my nose tip was pushed upward. 6 hours later it still hurts pretty badly. I will call my ps first thing in the morning but am just sick to my stomach with disappointment that I let this happen and wasn't more careful. A lot if drs answers are "be careful!" (Um, yes I get that) but no matter how careful you are accidents happen. It seems a lot if people bump their noses post op, but I can't find much info on what can be done if in fact you do bump it hard enough to move a graft, cartilage or setting bone, what to watch out for (I.e. if it hurts at a level 6 out of 10 then you need to be seen the next day, if it bleeds, if you hear a crack then what? If it looks straight, then you're likely ok etc) and what you might do immediately (tape? Ice? Splint?). Hopefully, I will heal without complication, but will update as soon as I talk to my ps when the office opens today.
I'm scheduled for a rhinoplasty/septoplasty on...

I chose dr r by researching online. I don't feel that I can rate him fairly until I see the true final outcome of his work and I'm only 3 weeks out right now. Also, I currently have a potential complication and I don't know how he will address it yet, but so far so good! For me, the utmost important thing in a ps is the surgeon's skill. I wanted a great looking and functioning nose. I chose him because he is supposed to be a perfectionist and "the nose guy" in Denver. We'll see. So far it looks good (even though I still have the expected bruising and swelling) and I breathe well (even though I still have the expected congestion and drainage). Again, I am only 3 weeks out. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it turns out for me!
