Septo Rhinoplasty my story so far

Luckily I had a good experience with Mya, nothing went wrong (which i was expecting with my luck)

I was set to have my Op at Highgate hospital, nurses were great.. apart from the night nurses who arent the most friendly. I was mostly dreading the waking up in pain part although i had nothing of the sort just felt although i was about to throw up, the nurses immediately gave me an injection (which bruised my arm a lovely brown till now). Dr G said that i bled an aweful lot during my op so when i woke up i was bleeding a lot from my eyes, streaming blood for say an hour tops and shaking. (sounds worse than it was, nobody likes blood) not trying to turn this into a gruesome horror sorry girls!

Got taken back to my room by 2 hunky young threatre staff, they may have been hot I was very dosed up. My mum slipped it in later that they were, greeeat!

back in room, relaxed, had sips of water then munched on some spoonfed Ice.

(Oh my op took 3 hours also)

Coming back from london to cardiff, nurses rang to see if i was OK. Journey was hell bumpy car. Got home, recovery started day 1.. day 2 etc everyday got better.

The WORSE thing was having the stitches removed i wish my surgeon Dr G used dissovable ones unfortunately he doesnt, having them out wasnt pleasant.

Then the worse thing was having to go back to have another 3 stitches that had been left in by accident. Just dose yourself up on ibrobufen to get the edge off!

Day 9 and i’m feeling great, nose still slightly blocked. Wanting to go out!

Cast off on Monday. I’ll pop on some pics to let you all see the final results!

Also i posted this accidently on the body surgery Forum!

Hi amb101,

Thanks for sharing your story so far. So how do you feel now a couple of weeks post op? Do you have some pics to show your new nose ?

I am booked in for my surgery (open rhino) on the 05th April, which is in like 10 days. I am excited and can’t wait for the results! I do trust Dr. G and think he will make my nose beautiful I wish to have my hump removed, and tip reduced and refined a lot.

So let me know how it goes with your recovery please.

I booked off 1 week from work, and another week working from home. So I hope I will be healed up in just over 2 weeks as I didn’t tell any people from work (only friends and family)!!

Tale care and enjoy your new nose

amb101,happy healing honey thanks for sharing your story,I had open septo on 5/12/11,fabulous experience with MYA and Dr G is the nose god as far as Im concerned,I have amazing results,be patient with the swelling when the cast comes off,it gets better week by week honey,you will love it,xxx

Thanks girls. My recovery is going well, very happy with my nose, it has changed a lot since having the cast off just like the nurse said it would.. Its swollen up on one side and the tip but as expected!

My mums having rhino and ba with Mya now, going with her Saturday for her consultation. Shame dr G doesnt do breasts she wanted them both done on the operating table all in one! She has PIP’S atm so having them replaced with say ‘healthier/reliable’ implants!

Poor Mum! Anybody know good surgeons with Mya who do both BA and rhino?

amb101 thanks for sharing, your new nose looks great you must be over the moon xx
