Nose job tomorrow

[Sovain]

Booked in for a rhinoplasty tomorrow.

Sooooo nervous.

Any posters had this done?

I know it will be worth it but it's a big event!!

Ooh how exciting! I'd love a nose job but too scared

Which surgeon did you go with OP?

Glad to hear you're doing well - if you wet a cotton bud with hot water and dab it slightly on the dried blood, it might help loosen it

How long till you can breathe again? That would put me off.

No stitches that I am aware of. It was a closed rhinoplasty so done from inside my upper lip

Smeagols I don't want to name the surgeon on here. I can pm you of you like?

I can breathe almost normally now. Was impossible the first night due to the packing. Is much clearer now, I've woken myself up snoring so I guess I am still struggling but it's getting easier all the time.

I am getting cabin fever now though.

Might go for a walk with DH when it gets dark

Wow, really great that there's no visible stitches and it was all done from the inside. Hopefully that will make healing/recovery much quicker and easier. Glad you're less congested now too. You're doing really well :) Hope you enjoy your under cover walk :)

A bit of diluted hydrogen peroxide on a cotton bud is the best thing to gently remove crustaceans.

Sounds like you're recovering really well

Ooh, well done, OP! I had a nose job at age 22, and it was the best thing I ever did.

Just be prepared for swelling when you take the beak off - it will take a few weeks to go down completely. But it sounds like you are recovering well.

Yeah the swelling, particularly in the tip can linger for months and months, only noticeable to you though.

Ooh, well done OP! Doesn't sound too painful either.

I will post some pics.

My face is very swollen though - and after cast removal the nose is likely to swell also.

So give me a few days and I'll get some together.

However - it's looking good!

Really glad it's looking good. The swelling might take a while to go down and your nose will also be swollen as you say. So your look will keep changing as the months pass. Its like work in progress :)

Very excited for you.

I had my nose done 4 months ago - the best thing I've ever done. No pain, bruising and swelling was quite bad but liveable!
The worst bit for me was the congested feeling! Wetting cotton bud tips helped!
My nose is settling still and the tip is still swollen - but really not noticeable - I'm so much more confident in front of the camera now and not obsessing about my side profile!
I was so scared about having it done but honestly it's not bad at all!

I really want this done as self conscious, but don't want to draw more attention to myself by having it done. How long are you (essentially) hidden away for?

Your nose was not that bad before but it does look far better now iykwim. Are you happy with it?

I think it makes you look quit different!

Quite sorry

My brother had a nose job many years ago. He had a moon shaped nose. He said it stopped him doing things and impacted on his confidence. He never looked back. I see pictures of his nose the way it was and he looks so much better now. He got it done on the NHS.

That's a really really good result, looks much 'prettier' for want of a better word but still natural.

It looks great! I hope you don't mind me asking, but roughly how much did it cost you? The prices I've seen online vary so much.
