My main reasons for wanting rhinoplasty are pretty obvious, It's crooked, big, hooked at the tip, bulbous, long and generally doesn't suit my face in any way, shape or form, So far i'm in day 3 of my recovery, the splint is still on and i'm still fairly bruised and swollen so the review is yet to be confirmed :)

Bad hair day to the extreme

Day 4 and it's feeling much better, I haven't taken any painkillers throughout just because i don't feel it hurts enough for them infact it doesn't hurt at all, just a little uncomfortable, On the second day I did have a little bump on the bridge when I was bending down to pick something up then hitting my nose quite hard on the table in front of me, no pain was caused but being the hypochondriac I am, I over worried, all is fine though it appears :)

The worst part throughout the recovery period i have to admit is not being able to wash my hair, I wear a wig (pictured on the 3rd day) in the mean time if I am going out to the shops or meeting friends but it just feels dirty, so if the worst part for me is the hair situation the recovery from rhinoplasty really isn't as bad as you think it will be haha :)

I haven't yet had a call from Harley medical regarding the splint removal which is something i am starting to worry about, especially as it's said to be the worst part but I will keep you updated :) Ciao for now

Bromelain supplement (capsule) is the pineapple. See if you can get some, it helps!

Lol. Natasha great reply. I was planning the same response if one of them insulted me. I already know I'm "old" and have big ears and nose so let them fire away lol. BTW good luck with your appt. Do you have internal splints? I will have them so I'm wondering how that is.

Oops I didn't mean to imply that you are "fugly!" Just that if you dont care about rude comments they cant hurt you. Haha I guess you know what I mean :)

Haha well why should I let them have the last laugh :') and I don't think so, my surgeon never mention internal ones but I do have a few stitches on the septum to be removed and the cast has a steel splint inside, sitting on my nose But i will find out tomorrow and inform you lovely :)
