I've never been a fan of my nose… I feel like I...
T-5 days... ????
A couple of people at work that I am close with knew that I have been planning this and today I mentioned it to a few others… I work in a small unit and figured it might be obvious to my medically savvy coworkers. Hoping to be pretty well back to normal aside from some residual swelling by the time I return to work 12 days postop.
Will try to stay on top of postop updates! Would love to hear from any of you who have just gone through or will be going through this at the same time!
I did it!!!
Provider Review
8/4/2016 - I had my preop appointment today! Probably a little sooner than most due to an upcoming family wedding on the East Coast and my work schedule for the month of August. Today's appointment was very reassuring. Dr. Most has such fantastic staff! From the receptionists to his aesthetician to his nurse… Everyone exudes a sense of warmth and very genuine compassion, as well as knowledge and confidence. Having been a nurse for 12 years myself in critical care and currently in a Cardiac Cath Lab, I am probably a more discerning critic than most. I have the utmost confidence in my physician and his staff. I did a great deal of research before deciding on surgery with Dr. Most. I am certain that I have chosen someone who will create an aesthetically pleasing nose that fits my face well, while not changing what I look like completely. I am fortunate to live within a couple hours drive such a world-class doc! Today's appointment consisted of signing my consent forms, reviewing my medical information/allergies/issues with previous anesthesia. The nurse went through all of my pre-op and pos-top teaching. This will also be reviewed again with myself and my husband on the day of surgery. Dr. Most called in all of my necessary post-op prescriptions so I will have them ready to go... ( antibiotics and pain meds) I will certainly post more photos once I have surgery on Wednesday, August 31! I have about 12 days off from work post-op. My husband will be off with me during this time. My follow up appointment is exactly one week after surgery and I am hoping that if I am feeling well enough maybe we can use the last few days of our vacation to drive up to Tahoe or out to the coast to make a little bit of a vacation out of this (maybe I'm being a little too ambitious)... I'd like to think I heal fairly quickly and have a very reasonable expectation of pain and discomfort. I know if we go anyplace that I have to be careful not to overdo it… But I think it would be nice, especially for my husband, to get away after a week of being cooped up! I welcome questions and any advice or suggestions! Very scary but super exciting!
