Hello everybody!
I'm Francesca (24 yrs), I come from Italy and this is my 3rd days after open rhinoplasty.

I decided to have the operation due to my long nose and the absence of naso-frontal angle (as you can see in my "before" pictures).


My doc didn't break my nose but he smoothed my bone to finally create the "angle", so fortunately I don't have evident bruises around my eyes.


The day of the surgery I was just a bit nervous but everything was ok and I had only a bit of nausea due to the anesthesia.


The doctor didn't use any nasal packing but only some absorbable biomaterial that is disappearing by itself using peroxide and salin nasal spray.


I don't have a cast on my nose but only a nasal bandage.
In these 3 days I didn't have pain or fever but only some problems to breath...the situation today is much better because I am able to breath quite well!

First impression: the nose is very swollen at the moment and the bandage on the columella is very tight, so my nose seems to be like Miss Piggy!Haha :D
I know that is normal and it will improve in the next days/weeks...but it is so weird!
I'll write some updates in the next days...for the moment I'd like to read your opinions/impressions... :)

That's great you don't have a cast on! Sounds like your recovery is going well. How do you feel about it so far? When do you get to take the bandages off?

Today my doc will replace the bandages, but I'll have to wear them for a total of 15 days to reduce swelling. I feel very good, everyday I go out for a walk and fortunately I don't have problems to breath!

Day 5: I feel very good, I'm able to breath well even if my right nostril is very swollen. I've noticed that my tip is starting to drop a bit (yeah!), so I hope that my miss Piggy look will disappear in few time!
Today my doc will replace my bandages...finally the "V sign" caused by blood on my tip will disappear! :P

Thank you so much for sharing! Where in Italy do you live? The biomedical, dissolving packing material sounds amazing.

I truly hope you love your results and that you'll keep us updated on your transformation!

Hello!I'm from Genoa (a city in the north-west of Italy). I'm not sure about the english translation of some medical words...so forgive me! :) At the moment it's difficult to see the final result of my nose...it's so swollen!!!

Looks like we are surgery date twins :) Sounds like your recovery is going well so far. Good luck and I hope it turns out exactly as you want!

Yeah!It's true! :) I had an open procedure so the time to see the result is longer due to the swelling...but I feel confident!Fingers crossed! :)

Today my doctor has removes the sutures...even if I still have tape, the tip seem to be less upturned...the situation should improve in the next weeks because I have a lot of swelling in the tip and between nose and lips.
I feel very well and I'm starting to think that worth it! ;)
I have to wear tape for another week to reduce swelling...I'll keep you updated!
p.s.I've added another photo.
