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... :)
Day 5: I feel very good, I'm able to breath well...
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!



Today my doctor has removes the sutures...even if...
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.
