Im happy with what I go, it is still swollen, but my nose is much more symmetrical and refined. I barely have any sort of bump, if any. I have to leave this tape on till monday then I can take it off myself, it's just for healing purposes. Overall I see improvement everywhere.

Thanks I had my doubts but now those are a thing of the past

Your nose looks much better. Any final photos after all bandages are removed? I'm from STL also. I'm trying to find someone to do a rhinoplasty but I've had horrible luck with some surgeons in this area being ultra-conservative in their surgery.

Well you got to consider a couple of things you can private message me and maybe I can help you.

Have you thought about Dr Nayak from St louis?
May 27, 2014
I've considered having a consult with him. I sent a message to him on here a few months ago and never received a reply. I'm just worried if all plastics in this area have a conservative approach. I had a forehead reduction 2 months ago in LA and it was wonderful!

Wow! I hope my surgery goes as well as yours did! Congrats!

Thankyou I hope yours goes as well if not better

Looks like it turned out great for you! And you even managed to shave (even though it had to be a little hard to do underneath the nose). Not being able to shave for awhile after my surgery is probably going to annoy me. Wishing you continued positive results.

False Call for Cast Removal

I actually am gonna have to wait till friday to get my cast off, but the tubes are out! I can breathe normally for the first time in my life. Sorry about my peeling lips I need to work on that.

I had to wait 2 more days to get my splint off too. Not sure how much difference it would have made, but I trust our surgeons know best : )

Yeah I just do what he says cause I really dont know much about medical healing and whatever else. Im more of a technology type career

forgot Day 6 But Here's Day 7 :)

Last full day of sitting home bored and one more poor nights sleep cause of sore throat at least with the cast and tubes. I get my cast off tomorrow and hoping I will love what I see. Either way I know it will look better than my old nose which was crooked twisted and asymmetrical in many ways. I think my breathing will improve drastically although I can barely breathe atm which is probably cause from tubes and the healing process. Hope my review helps anyone thinking about getting a rhino plasty or ensures anyone who has had one that it can be a rough recovery sometimes. I will be counting down for tomorrow.

Im kinda nervous about what im gonna see, it would be different if I had a thiner cast like some people I see but I think it will be a better suprise once it unveils.

Well, be glad its not like mine. Mine is up to the corners of my eyes and my eyes are so swollen. I go back for a follow up appointment tomorrow so I will find out when I get my cast off and such. ( I believe next Tuesday). How was it having the tubes removed?
User Avatar
May 20, 2014
The tubes arent that bad its just alittle akward and maybe at worst feels like someone is pinching you

May 21, 2014

My splints won't come out until next Tuesday when he removes my cast. I am ok with it as long as I can continue to feel better and not have such swelling. :)

I'm excited for you. Friday will be here before you know it. Have you had any headaches, tooth tenderness, and can you taste things yet???
User Avatar
May 22, 2014
I can taste things fine, im mainly just dealing with my ears hurting and alittle soreness in my throat, but I will admit I am taking no pain mes and I am getting a hell of a headache.

I'm taking regular Advil for my headache. That has helped. The pain narcs just made me sleepy. I'm glad to be more awake now. Hoping my bruises continues to go away and not get worse.
