I will be going in for rhinoplasty surgery on the 19th of March 2015, and am extremely nervous. So far Dr. Grigoryants and his staff have been absolutely amazing. I feel very confident with my decision to have him as my surgeon, and will continue to update as I go through the surgery/healing process.

-Realself has been such a fantastic resource through all of the unexpected emotions I've experienced so far. I'm posting in hopes that I may be able to help someone else out in the way many RealSelfers have helped me.

hi there, I haven't posted my story/experience on here. I had my surgery march 5. I was so nervous and consumed with all of the what-ifs that I actually went in for my surgery on December 1, got the robe and footies on and I couldn't go through with it. they allowed me to reschedule. I was soooo bad I made a worry list and had planned to check off each line item as the "danger date" expired. I can totally relate to your anxiety that's why I want to briefly share MY experience with you. I can promise you with my hand on the bible that I experienced no pain and no congestion whatsoever from the time I woke up to the present time (I am 8 days post op.) yes, I bruised but with minimal swelling- nothing notable happened on the third day as I was prepared for by most others experiences posted on here. I have slept with my mouth closed from day of the operation. I had an open procedure with hump removal, spreader grafts placed and projection reduction. I got the tape and cast removed yesterday. I woke up this morning with swelling of my nose, but really not bad at all. I must credit my surgeon and probably how my nose was gently handled during the operation. I also credit that I have taken care of myself through diet and exercise but the worry almost did me in. please message me if you have any questions you think I might could help you with. im so glad I went through with it. best of luck and happy healing to you :)

It is truly comforting to know that others have had the same fears and worries as I am having, and have worked through them and ended up with amazing results. I really appreciate your words, they mean so much to me right now. Happy healing to you too!

Surgery day!

I did it! I can't believe it is finally over. All of my built up anxiety and stress ended up being completely unnecessary.

Every single person that helped me out today was unbelievably amazing. If it weren't for my pre-op nurse Sandy, I may have died from anxiety, but she was the sweetest, most hilarious girl I've ever met.

-I woke up from surgery a little groggy, and with a tiny bit of pressure in the center of my face, but other than that I am very surprised at how painless everything has been so far.

I do have some pretty intense bruising under one eye, but that is to be expected.

I am feeling like I definitely made the right decision. :)

Wow! My bruising didn't come on until the third day but I still have a tiny one under my eye a month later... Hopefully this means yours goes away more quickly! Good luck with healing and looking forward to seeing your result :)
