I know in the end it will all be worth it. I just cant get my nerves get the best of me.
I will update more tomorrow post op.
Day of surgery: (Monday)
My mom and boyfriend came with me. Entered the clinic everything looked neat. They told me to change to a gown and come back out and wait for the dr. I was getting extremely nervous, my mom and bf were watching movies on the tv. I couldnt stop moving. Finaly, the dr shows up and takes me in, marks my face and I got to talk to the anesthesiologist for a little. They took me in the operating room, the anesthesiologist tells me what he will do and inserts the IV. He tells me im going to start feeling funny and I remember the feeling, couple secs after i was out. And the next thing I knew im laying down in the recovery room all dizzy not knowing what happend. The nurse tells me to wake up easily i honestly could not. The anesthesia was so strong for me. My surgery was 4 hrs in total but I didnt leave the clinic until 4 30 pm.
Getting home was the worst in the taxi, all I wanted to do was lay down my head was spinning. Got home took Tylenol3 and was out on and off the whole day. My mom helped me change the gauze still bleeding even know a lilttle.
Sunday:
Feeling pretty good these days with the exception that I am still not able to breath through my nose. Thats the most annoying part of the whole recovery process actually. My mom helped me wash my hair its been a week, yuck, i know. . The yellow bruises under my eyes are gone. Its still swollen but getting better daily. Tomorrow I am getting my splint off, thank god. Excited to see what it looks like without it.
For everyone that is debating a rhinoplasty I say you go for it. If you are thinking about the pain, I can tell you its minimal. I personally havent been taken any pain killers except the first 2 days.
I will update with pictures in a couple weeks. :)
