Open Septoplasty on 7th Sept. Brentford, GB

So I went for my review with Mr Lahoud and was a little disappointed to say the least. I understand that I still have a lot of swelling and that it will take another 6 months or so to see something close to the final result.
Mr Lahoud took pictures and kept saying how great my nose looked. He showed me before and after pics and said there was "a 95% improvement". To which I didn't agree. I told him that I still felt like my nose is wide and swelling aside I didn't think that I was going to be happy with the final result.
I do feel like my needs weren't understood, yes my nose is slightly narrower and my septum has been straightened. However, I was expecting much more from a surgeon who is considered a "master of rhinoplasty". Mr Lahoud implied that my expectations were unrealistic but having seen noses similar to mine and their transformations, I disagree. I have a bump on one side and was advised to massage my nose to try and straighten out the kink. He did say that i should wait a year before deciding on whether I want a revision. So I guess that is what I will do. Looking back there were times I felt like I was being brushed off, I'm kicking myself now for not trusting my instinct, but got caught up in the consultants praises. I did address my concerns to her and she managed to change my mind by telling me how amazing he was, especially when it came to ethnic noses and that several staff members had trusted him with their rhinoplasties. Whilst I don't hate the result I am disappointed that it isn't narrower. I guess for now I'll have to wait and see.

It's 12 days post op and my hair is falling like crazy!!! I have read up on it and analgesic medication can cause the body to pump blood and vitamins where it is most needed, hence hair follicles begin to 'shut down'. Apparently it is only temporary and in 3/4 months my hair will have re-grown. As someone who has fine/thin hair already, this doesn't help me now!! Has anyone any advice?! I'm going to restart my biotin and Florisene supplements.

My face is so puffy and swollen! I have to keep reminding myself to be patient, after all open septorhinoplasty is facial trauma, healing will take time. The bruises have lessened and my cheeks are going down slowly. Guess it's just a waiting game. I didn't realise that I would get so bored being stuck indoors. I declined a ten minute walk outside today because there is no way I'm stepping out of my front door looking like I've done five rounds with a boxer! On the plus side I'm in no pain, my nose is a little stuffy but all in all breathing quite well.
