Well, I am pleased to say that my nose looks great. It's not perfect, but it's as close as I could realistically hope for. I have a few badly blocked pores and light scarring, but nobody has guessed. I still have a swollen tip but the feeling is back. My nose is also still running badly but it is slowly getting getter. My nose feels bruised if I pinch near the bone but mildly. I'm still taping as there is still minor swellling.

Excellent result, very natural. Still scared and numb in places but no one - no one at all, can tell. I'm happy :-)

yay for you!!!!!!!! happy healing! i hope your nose looks beautiful! very good advice, i think the coming down after the operation is the worst day of it all, cast off is like a plucking but when your glad to have the cast off :D i have a consult with Dr Matti coming up soon...so he must be rushed off his feet! i wonder if he knows we all talk to each other XD what a nice little support group! id stick with the broken nose story because people can be mean in defense of theyre own insecurities, but then maybe telling them after is better and it would be too mean of any friend if they were joking that you'd had a nosejob if you had really been hit in the face and broken it. so maybe think the best of them, theyre probably are concerned for your happiness and think youve broken your nose...and maybe they hope youll go and have to have a nosejob like you had once mentioned a long time ago now so they can talk to you when they enquire about whatever it is they want to get done that theyve been scared to discuss!

Thanks so much. Have you had your consultation? I told Mr Matti's office about the website...they seemed excited. Good luck I'd love to see your before and after and will share mine soonish.

Oh wow ive just had a read the last bit is brilliant as you had a great result so was all worth it but going thru all that my word i didnt even think so from your experience when would you say i will be able to do normal activities like bend down give my my little girl a bath pick her up etc. as this is my mine worry i have a little girl who will be two when i get op done

You can do them straight away but you wont feel like it. Also, if you keep bending down you will get a nose bleed. And that's no good. That said, everything I needed to do bending I just did with my head held up. It's when it's almost upside down, like washing your hair from the side of the bath, that's tricky. I think a child would be OK to look after after day 3, but you'll have to be careful she doesn't hit your nose. That said, even if that happened, I don't think it's really a big deal. You'll think it is at the time, but int he grand scheme of things, what's happened to your nose - it isn't. I think the swelling is the big deal, because if it's not contained, then the nose heals slightly bigger.

Cast off today. It's not how you think.

So I went in to have the cast removed and stitches out today. The stitches are like having your nose hairs plucked. The cast coming off feels odd but doesn't hurt. I expected to look and gush at how much I loved my nose. That's not how it works! FIRST, for a good 20m, I needed to keep looking in the mirror at different angles, smiling, noticing new proportions, etc, to see IF I was happy and get over the weirdness. Then, I was able to say I like it. Before that, I was just in shock I think. But it looks amazing and given what I HAD...my surgeon is a genius.

Hello.
How are you feeling now? Are you happy with the results? x
December 16, 2013
Yes I am. I am not entirely back to normal, as mentioned in my update, but I am very happy to say that my nose feels and looks good. I'm not scared of it being knocked any more, and my scars are minimal. That said, even though the scars are light /small, because they are from stitches they are a bit weird! So for example, there were a couple of little holes in my skin that looked like blocked pores but were actually stitch marks that got blocked, I think with makeup. But I am looking through a 10* magnified mirror. Nose is still running.
