Feeling weird

Hi,

Just needed to vent about some worries I’m having and would love to hear from any of you with advice/who have the same issues. Im getting rhino soon and firstly dont really want to tell my friends. Did anyone else have this/did they notice?

Im also so scared about GA – what if i dont wake up after etc/ what if i DO wake up in the op! ahhh

and finally so scared about the result – my mum is being very positive about it and i think deep down she thinks something is going to wrong which makes me so worried even though everyone at MYA is so great and so professional. Heeeeelp 🙁 XXX

and also is it 2 weeks before you have to stop drinking? my booklet says 48 hours for some reason…

it does say 48 hours but the longer the better. I was exactly the same as you with all the worries but honestly from one girl to another PLEASE dont worry its so so so so easy and its a breeze mine was monday and im doing great!! i would say get excited youve wanted this and your getting it! its so surreal but enjoy it its gonna change your life and its the start of a new you embrace it! our mums do that! its completely natural mine came with me but she had to go out when i went down cos she had to take her mind off it. anything you wanna know please ask xxxx

Hey Pixie123 ~ I told a few girls at work but I don’t really work with them (in the same office) and haven’t told any of the guys I work with (It’s IT so I work in an all male office) and I just wanna turn up and see if they notice ~ you know what guys are like… going to be an interesting day… at first I figured the Dr wouldnt do a fantastic job (of which he did) and figured there wouldnt be that much of a difference…but boy was I wrong…. I had a nose that even Barbara Striesand would be proud of… so when I saw my reveal on Friday just gone I was pretty much godsmacked!!! So worth the money… with my old nose I was the first to NOT look in the mirror….now I can’t stop..hehehehe! I’d say keep it a secret and see if anyone notices ~ i know someone on here stated that she didn’t tell a few people at work and they would look at her and not quite know what was different…LOL! My ex boyfriend of 7 years was the first to see it….and he was WOW!!!! I wouldnt worry about what your friends think, long as you love the result 🙂 xx

thanks girls 🙂 so happy for you Jo! Bet it looks lovelyyyy.

megan how was the actual day for you? I think its because i booked my op so soon for when i booked so feel like i dont actually have time to process it.. which is i guess a good thing. never been put to sleep or anything so im worried! Did you tell your friends?? Hows recovery going?

ALSOOO should i be taking any vitamins/should i buy arnica cream? and finally (sorry for all the questions!!) did you girls have your blood taken at your pre op? mine is tomorrow eeeks. xxx

It was really easy hunny we drove up in the morning i wasnt nervous until i got the car park it lasted the best part of 15 mins then i was like you know what ive waited years for this! and i ENJOYED every second!!! 🙂 recovery is easy you get to day 5 and your like errgghhh but whats 5 days out of everything! i broke up with my bf a week before the op so thats been the only thing on my mind. I didnt bother with arnica just got told by my nurse to let my body heal itself. i had my bloods taken at pre op aswell as height and weight 🙂 xxx

You won’t wake up in the op don’t worry! There will be someone monitoring you the whole time you’re under so they would know if you were waking up before you actually did. I had a real bad fear of that lol x x x

Hi ladies,

Which surgeon did you go with? I’m looking into rhinoplasty at the moment and have got a surgeon consultation booked with Dr Lancer but can’t find any reviews on him, only Dr Gonschier. Any help would be much appreciated!

aww Jo im so happy you like it! my cast comes off Friday CANNOT wait!!! I had Dr Gonschior Jennie xx

To be honest…. I was soooo nervous, not because my surgeon wouldnt do a good job….but I had it in my head, it would just look the same ~ boy was I wrong ~ my first words were as I remember “F***ing hell’ I then apologies to the nurse… and then couldnt stop looking at my lovely nose…still can’t…LOL! I find myself grinning like an idiot ALL the time… I wonder if the surgeons know just what a difference in our lives it makes Gosh I hope your as pleased as I was a my reveal. 🙂 x

you’ve hit the nail on the head there jo, it will be such a huge difference i have had a huge complex about my nose for such a long time its all just so not real atm i really cannot wait to get the cast off? does it hurt having it taken off? xx

It doesn’t hurt… its just the sticky plaster which is a tad hard to pull off…. my nurse used some sort of water/ointment which helped with the sticky ness… she did that on the side plasters which she used a Q-tip to gently ease underneat…. then she tried lifting off the splint… which was totally stuck and I informed her that she might need to use the Q-tip again on that…of which she did and after it pratically slid right off… she then ask me to go look in the mirror ~ and thats when I got stuck with this big stupid smile…. think the smile will take sometime to wear off ~ but I don’t mind 🙂 xx

HAHAHA!! WOW im soo excited i cant wait to have the stupid smile! how soon after did you apply make up? xx

Well after being stuck under that splint for a whole week…. I let my nose breathe for the weekend and gave my whole face a good ol’ facemask ~ the ones that you can peel off…. and a good moisurise and wore make up on Monday ~ nothing too heavy obviously… and removed it that night….having to be careful when you take it off even when you remove make up off your cheeks you feel yourself pulling on the nose…. just be really really gentle. I dont have any pain, but it is still sensertive around the nostrels due to the stitches inside and slight booger crusting etc…. but that should disappear around after 2-3 weeks (I googled this) Ya should be fine 🙂 x

i can feel my bridge throbbing as i type! well i’m really happy because my nurse wasnt meant to be avaiable till next wed. So ive got a whole weekend off work aswell now aswell as 3 days to just chill. Now my nose is so itchy! cant wait to get this cast off! to think this time week i was just arriving home after my op ahhh 🙂 xx

I remember my nose itching like a bitch…. so I would just try and ignore it, but at times you just can’t ~ you basically just have to take it, I guess you could sort of wiggle the splint a little but didn’t want to jepardise the surgeons job…. so would always stop myself…LOL! Have to say its lovely having the cast off ~ as Braveheart would say FREEDOM!!!!! heh heh heh. You’ll be fine just keep yourself busy, I did, I became this DIY freak at home 🙂 x
