I was nervous about going through with surgery! I was told by my dr and his interns that I wouldnt need my pain meds, maybe just for the first day and that i should be back to normal within few days... needless to say my experience wasnt that easy!

The day of the surgery I was uncomfortable and could not sleep. I am a nose breather so it was extremely difficult to breathe out of my mouth. It also dried my mouth and would wake up every 20 min. I had to take vicodin every 4 hours for the first week because of the discomfort. Also lost 12lbs that week, I recommend eating soft foods!

Its been 5 weeks post op and I am happy I did it! I look younger and couldn't be more pleased with the outcome!

What ethnicity are you? Im middle eastern but I'm too scared to have it done, because not many surgeons have experience with ethnic noses.

Thanks for the information - I wished I could have read your post before my surgery. I had to laugh because I had the exact same experience in March of 2011. I told my doctor I wouldn't need the pain medications since I went through a c-section and only needed Motrin. Yeah, well, it didn't exactly work out that way! I also took my pain medications every 4 hours the first few days. It was described to me as a 4 out of 10 on the pain scale. Nope, a lot more than that! Your nose looks wonderful and thank you for sharing.
