Hello,
I am scheduled for a septo/rhinoplasty on December 7th in San Francisco with Dr. Elyassnia.
I have a hump and droopy tip that I want removed. I have done plenty of research and narrowed down my search to 3 doctors: Dino Elyassnia, Vladimir Grigoryants, and Afshin Parhiscar. Because of technique, location, and examples of work, I decided to go with Dr. Elyassnia. I am super excited and counting down the days.

Surgery Day

I woke up early this morning to make it to my 7:15am surgery time. Of course, SF toll plaza and traffic are a killer! I reached there around 7:45am, used the bathroom, changed into my gown, went through a questionnaire with a nurse, and met with anesthesiologist. Everyone asked if I had any questions, but they were all already answered. I met with Dr E once again to go over the desired results. He explained the procedure and what I should expect.

I was not nervous until i realized I would soon be going into the operating room. I received an injection and off we went. I went to the operating room and it finally hit me. Was I really doing this?! I got into a super warm operating bed that was quite cozy. The anesthesiologist started numbing me and putting in the IV. I remember watching her and Dr E. Next think I know it is 3pm and I'm wide awake with quite a bit of energy on a comfy chair. I was taken to the car on a wheelchair, feeling a little awkward with all the people passing by lol. I usually get a lot of motion sickness, so they put a sea patch on me. I had the most normal car ride home. I was talking normally, I was completely aware of what was going on. I did not feel pain, uncomfortable, or sick. I felt a little pressure from the cast but that was it! I remember coming home and opening my house door on my own and walking up the stairs on my own.

I took 1 tylenol at 4pm because I was feeling pressure from the cast. I took 2 more around 7pm to prevent any possible pain. Dr E mentioned I most likely wouldn't need any Ultram and I didn't. There was no real pain. I changed the gauze under my nose around 5pm which had a good amount of blood and again at 7pm which barely had any. I shouldnt need the drip pad tomorrow.

I got home around 4pm, ate some chicken noodle soup and sipped on water and black tea. I stopped eating and drinking 9pm last night. I watched the movie american snipper and spend some time on the computer and with my parents at home. It is 11:50pm and I am still wide awake. The only thing I noticed was that I have been a little forgetful today. I have been keeping my head upright the entire time. Trying to fall asleep but maybe too excited or a little nervous. Trying to figure out how ill get the blood out of my nostrils. Ill call the doctor tomorrow.
