Having Rhinoplasty This Sat Jan 26! - New York, NY

I've never liked my nose much but wasn't concerned...
WORTH IT$8,500
I've never liked my nose much but wasn't concerned with it to the point that I would undergo surgery, even though some of my friends made jokes about it. However, recently I've become very self-conscious about it and started looking for a surgeon. I was planning to do breast augmentation as well. In fact, I was going to do breast first. One of my friends recommended dr. Sadeh, she had her breast done by him, and it looks very natural. I scheduled consultation with him, and liked how professional he was. He made me feel very comfortable about the surgery. I scheduled the surgery for breast for jan 26 so I would have a week to stay home before coming back to school. However, reading some scary reviews and seeing some of the pics on this website, I got scared. In addition, my friend started talking me out of this, saying that my body might reject implants because it something not belonging to my body and my immune system might fight it, or I might get infection etc... It's not like I changed my mind to do breast augmentation, I just don't feel comfortable at this moment to do it. But i am ready to do my nose! Haha kinda unexpected, I didn't wait for it like other people for months, I'm doing it this sat jan 26. Dr. Sadeh didn't mind that I changed my mind, and explained me how my nose is going to look. I saw pics of his work in his site and liked it so hopefully my new nose is gonna be beautiful. Wish me luck!

It's been 24 hours since surgery. Bleeding...
It's been 24 hours since surgery. Bleeding stopped, and I have no pain. But I am very very swollen, my eyes are almost shut. I use ice packs to put it on my eyes, it helps a little bit, but not much. Overall, I feel better, but this swelling is killing me. Can't wait to get over with it.

Dont stress its normal to have some dripping after but if your bleeding heavily make sure you contact your surgeon. Your bleeding should stop after around one week its nothing for you to worry about
January 27, 2013
Thank you!! Bleeding stopped, but now I am swollen so much, I can barely open my eyes!! Is it normal?
January 27, 2013
Everyone has swelling after rhino but some people more than others. Did you surgeon tell you to use ice packs on your eyes? Thats usually done for 2 or 3 days after surgery to help with the swelling just be careful not to put the ice pack on your nose. Swelling and bruising i found was the worst on day 2 and 3 after that it starts to go down. As my ps said itll get worse before it gets better :)
January 27, 2013
If you have any more questions dont hesitate to ask me. ive had rhino 3 times so i know how daunting it can be especially during recovery :)
January 27, 2013
Thank you so much for your comments! It really helps a lot. I haven't been sleeping all night and now it's 6 am in ny and I just swell more and more. It's scary. But at least I know it's normal. I put ice packs all the time, it helps a little bit. And I can actually breathe through my nose too! So that's positive :)
January 27, 2013
Omg! You are a super hero if you went through this 3 times! I wanted to do breast augmentation before and my ps said that nose job comparing to the breast is nothing, that it doesn't hurt and recovery is easier. I could imagine then what people go through with breast! No, enough plastic surgeries for me, maybe just some juvederm :)

Trust me it doesnt get any easier the 3rd time. im 13 days post op and still cry over the swelling thinking its never gonna go down. Its good that your breathing through your nose but itll probably feel blocked soon but its normal, you wake up throughout the night cause your mouth gets so dry just dying for a sip of water but u might be lucky n breeze through the recovery. did he place splints in your nose? Try to get as much sleep as possible its the best way to kill the time cause it feels so slow during recovery
January 27, 2013
I'm so sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time! Hang in there, i am sure, third time is a lucky time! You will look fabulous! He put a splint on my nose but I have nothing inside so I can breathe a little bit. But it does get blocked.

I've noticed that the upper lip is kind of lifted. Is it gonna come back to where it was before or it's gonna be like this permanent?
January 27, 2013
No its only temporary because the nose is raised also they'll both come down as the swelling settles but the lip will lower again in a week or so. Theres alot of things they forget to tell will happen during recovery isnt there. The swelling of the nose is gonna be the most frustrating part because the wait to see the final result is so long. But i think you made a great decision between rhino and breast implants because the nose change can make such a difference to the face

January 27, 2013
Thank you! Can't wait! Counting every hour :) were you very swollen? And when you were swollen the most? What did you do to reduce it?
January 27, 2013
It's definitely get easier as the days go on. Happy healing...in a week you'll feel 100% better!
January 27, 2013
I had mine done 3 days ago and I am anxious to recover already! Good to hear other people's experiences as I am going through mine. Good luck recovering!!
January 27, 2013
Congrats on having in done. The swelling should go in a couple of days then move to your jaw...then a couple of days later disappear. All the best for a smooth recovery :)

It has been 48 hrs since surgery. I feel so much better than yesterday. Swelling went down, I took a shower, and brushed my teeth. Feel like a human again, and a not a monster :) my throat hurts a lot, so I am using antiseptic spay. Helps a little bit. Also taking Tylenol 3, that helps me a lot.

It's amazing how you look so beautiful even with all that swelling :P You're gonna be a total stunner once it's all subsided. Glad to hear you're feeling good today :)
January 28, 2013
Thank you, Sarah! Hope it's gonna just get better faster and faster, as people here say :)
January 28, 2013
Natalia, you have amazing cheekbones and a killer jaw line! Once the swelling subsides, you are going to be a stunner. Just be patient though. Swelling can seem to take forever to go away.
January 28, 2013
Thank you! I also looked at your pics, and I understand what you worry about. But as you said, swelling takes a long time to go away, so I don't think you should stress about it now. Just direct all your energy in a positive way so you will heal faster. And don't listen to that one person who keeps posting negative comments on your page. It's so annoying!! I'm sure when swelling goes away, you will be happy with your results. Good luck and keep positive ;)
January 28, 2013
You are beautiful:)
I can't wait to see you with your refined nose, it will be great!
