9months post op
9 months post op - and couldn’t be happier! My recovery has been issue-free - my surgeon is a genius.
Results are PERFECT!
I got my cast off two days ago, and I’m loving the results already! My surgeon said since this is this, essentially, the third major trauma to my nose (when I broke it, and when I had a previous septoplasty right after) the swelling is going to be a little worse and probably going to take a little longer to go down. But honestly since my cast was left on for two weeks, I really think the swelling wasn’t as bad as it would’ve been had I gotten it off at the one week mark like most people do - because I was definitely expecting it to be worse! And I’ve already noticed a significant difference in just two days! So excited to watch the changes day by day!
Follow up appt today
Had my follow up appt today to remove the internal splints. Talk about instant relief!
I have to go back in two days to get the stitches removed from my columella. Before I left my surgeon said “oh by the way. You have dissolvable stitches inside your nose. Once those start to dissolve you may smell something that resembles vomit. Don't panic - that's normal." Oh GREAT.
Since surgery, I have been sleeping in our guest room - just because I’m a considerate girlfriend and I know that I won’t be getting much sleep, and didn’t wanna keep my boyfriend awake all night too. Sleeping with my head elevated is definitely uncomfortable - and painful. It’s making my neck hurt and in turn, it’s been triggering migraines. I asked my surgeon today how long I have to sleep with my head elevated and he said “as long as you feel it helps.” He said I don’t have to continue to do so anymore if it just triggers migraines, I just may have some more swelling.
Also, my surgeon keeps the external cast on for two weeks. So that won’t be removed until next Thursday. I know usually it’s only kept on for 1 week, but this is just my surgeons preference I guess. So I’ll be returning to work on Wednesday (I’m a nurse) with my cast on, hopefully the bruising will be better.
I don’t really have any pain, just some burning in my nose and pressure in my head at times.
I think that’s all the updates I have for now!
