Surgery Complete! Now the Healing Game Begins. - Toronto, ON

I haven't liked the look of my nose as soon as I became self aware about my looks. My husband has been totally on board and is being very supportive, although he finally admitted he has some concerns. I feel really calm about it. I booked my surgery 8 months in advanced so it'll really give me time to think on it and pray about it. I am looking forward to the process. Dr. Torgerson and his staff have been great so far. The office is sending out my surgery package with all of the info I need for post and pre-op. I will keep realself posted. I have never done anything like this and honestly do not knoe anyone who has had plastic sutgery so I feel a little isolated, but the Lord, my husband and this site has helped a whole lot.

Im super excited for my upcoming surgery in May. Dr. Torgerson has been wonderful and definitely has helped me to envision myself happier with my appearance, and with a better balanced face. His staff were great with getting the ball rolling and did answer all of my many questions. I do look forward to my signing consent appointment to go over a final vision for my nose; what is do-able/not applicable. Surgery is a serious thing. I have never been put under, but my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ comforts me. I feel comfortable and confident in the capable hands of Dr. Torgerson, and I can assume, from how he conducts himself, that the rest of the surgical staff will be just as lovely and capable. What a way to start the summer!

SO I am just updating on my surgery. Had it yesterday. I believe it took about two hours. The surgery team was so nice, I had never been under before, so they really helped me to relax. It was over so quickly and I woke straight up from the surgery. Got to home like a half hour to an hour after it was complete. I thank Dr. Torgerson for being so gentle and caring of me.
So I am home now It is day two and I am draining out of my nose a good amount, and sleeping was a chore last night, but the meds are helping. All is good. I am a little swelled up, but I know that it is a part of the healing process. I am not in pain and and trying to stay comfortable and busy my mind. I am going to be putting up a before and after picture, I will not be taking any pictures of myself during the healing process, don't really see much of a point for myself. I will update as I see fit. So excited to get this healing ball rolling!
