Rhinoplasty

[Meid]

Has anyone here had a nosejob and could answer a question for me?

I am due to have cosmetic surgery on my nose because I broke it.

I am having it straightened also have the option of having the tip of the nose improved (its at a slightly funny angle).

Has anyone had the tip of their nose cosmetically worked on? Could you tell me how it felt afterwards and how much it hurt?

I am assuming the straightening of the nose will feel fairly similar to when I broke it, but its the tip I'm unsure of.

Many thanks,

Op was fine it was when they took the packing out of the nose that really was not plesant . WISH I had known in advance I would have been more prepared . Hope it goes ok for you .

Thank you for your response. I'll brace myself for the packing being taken out.

yes, the packing coming out is pretty horrific. They made me eat a bucket of ice first and I think that's quite a good idea because it does numb the back of your throat and the top of your nose (at the back). Don't know if they do that any more.

I think what you need to brace yourself for is how much packing they can get up there! I thought it was just a bit of a plug but when they pulled it out it kept on coming (think of a very long tampon).

If I'd known in advance, I would have started doing that breathing they teach you for when you give birth....you know, the counting and breathing in to about 4 counts and then breathing out slower to about 7 counts because if you concentrate on something like that rather than on what they are doing, it will be over in a flash!

I had a bump shaved off mine and 2 attempts at straightening it
Never had any packing in in though
No pain just can't breathe through it for a while and two big black eyes

yes, I should have said that I don't know whether you'll end up having the same sort of op that I had.

I shattered my nose bone in a very bad accident so the op that followed was quite severe in terms of nose ops I believe. So you'll probably be fine!
