So like a lot of you real self girls and boys I have wanted this procedure since I was around thirteen. It took me 8/9 years to pluck up the courage to do it along with finding the funds to do so. It cost around £4600 and I had the procedure done in Worthing in Sussex with the lovely Dr Simon Watts.
The day of the procedure I was quite nervous but I didn't let it show. Simon was very reassuring and everything went rather smoothly. When I got taken down to theatre I felt OK up until the cannula went in, I felt disgustingly nauseous so I practically begged for the gas and got knocked out. I highly recommend that If you actually feel sick with needles maybe ask for the gas then the devil cannula. I didn't think of this at the time.
anyway so I woke up after which felt like a forever sleep... I puked straight away. I Think it was well the tube got removed. the operation took longer than expected, no complication just generally took longer. I felt horribly groggy and heavy, working out 3 days in a row before hand didn't help. I ached so much I practically felt like I was never getting out of that bed again. It was later than expected too. The minute I got taken back to my room my parents turned up to take me home but it took a while to settle before I could leave. I kept throwing up, they said it was because of the drugs. Despite my masses of Anti sickness I was still very sick.
The ride home went quickly and I got into bed by about 1030 pm and my sickness came back about 3 am. WORST NIGHT SLEEP EVER. The pain in my throat wasn't ideal, the tube must of scratched me but boy does it hurt. I guess it'll go away after a few days.
I currently look like an avatar on day 1 of recovery but looking forward to what changes are to come.

Ok so I'm on the arnica , feeling rough and nauseous but just taking each day as it comes. My eyes are purple and completely swollen, my tip is so big a feels like it's trying to escape out of the cast. My cheeks ads now huge to, I look like a completely different person it's crazy. Swelling has truly taken over my face.

I know the swelling must be a pain, but just remember that everybody heals at different paces. Some people have little to no swelling where others seem to suffer quite badly with it. Drinks plenty of fluids, sleep very elevated and try holding ice packs. I used arnica cream religiously and that helped me a great deal. Hope this helps. You're going to look great! Remember that!!!

I froze two sandwich plastic bags with ice inside of them and tucked them in towels wrapped in my neck pillow. That way the ice is staying on my face while i'm upright. Ice REALLY helped me. I had my surgery the same day you did.
