Rhinoplasty Review
I attended a consultation with Mr Hodgkinson at the beginning of the year after being let down by a previous surgeon from a different private hospital. He was very welcoming, helpful and very honest about the whole process. Peter explained the pros and cons to the surgery whilst emphasising the want for a perfect nose is unachievable, this was scary to hear but also I really liked how honest he was about it all, it really made me trust him and know that he isn’t steering me into getting it done and making my decision as informative as possible.
I had my surgery on 1st March 2024 at the cobalt hospital. The only downside is I thought I would have had a private room and would be able to take my mam or my fiancé with me for support because this was a super nerve racking thing to do but they had to wait in the waiting room the whole time due to other patients privacy, and you were in a small open bay therefore they weren’t able to visit me once I had woken up. (I know I’m an adult but sometimes we just need our loved ones to support us through this) so because of this my anxiety was super heightened. But the nurses and medical team were lovely and guided me through the whole process!
The surgery went well, took a few hours, I woke up and was quite uncomfortable but the nurse was able to get me some codine to help the pain. I was then transferred from the bed to a chair which made me feel so so sick but thankfully it soon passed over and I was able to eat some of the food provided to be.
Mr Hodkingson popped his head in to see how I was doing for a short period but if I’m honest I can’t really remember much of what he said because I felt dreadful haha.
The nurses were fab! So caring and helpful & for the few hours I had to stay in I just FaceTimed my family and the time passed quite quickly!
If I’m honest the whole first week was awful, I was in a lot of pain, struggled to sleep or eat and getting the tubes out of my nostrils after 7 days was really painful. The swelling was as expected but the bruising was much better than expected.
The cast and tape was very annoying at times and got super itchy I kept this on for around 18 days & by god you get some funny looks of people walking around with it on your face haha
I got my cast removed and my nose was sooo different! It’s strange how different you look, my side profile was amazing, from the front my nose was more swollen on one side and my nose and nostrils were asymmetrical.
I’m around 5 weeks post op now and I’m starting to get used to my face looking so different and I love my nose from the side! It’s totally changed my face. My nose still remained asymmetrical and quite swollen and wide from the front but I have to trust to process and I still have a lot of healing to do! I still have the scar under my nose and numbness to the tip and underneath my nose but other than that it’s all good, just hoping the symmetry gets better with time
I have a review with Peter in a few weeks! I’ll keep you posted & insert some before and after photos xx
