Nose job.........

Cat501

sorry haven't been on for a while and just came on to ask how it went, thinking it was yesterday! That's great, I have my consultation of Wednesday and I'm feeling really confident about it now!:) Hope I don't have to wait too long for the op either! xx

hey Dolly - I'm booked in for the 8th August too:j

Really impressed with Mr Shoaib, he was lovely and I genuinely believe that if he had thought there was nothing wrong with my nose, he would have refused to do it! And he was clear - it won't be perfect, but each thing will, in time, be a good bit better, and that's all I was hoping for

So, can't wait! Looks like because of the width issue (my main problem), I might have a bit longer of looking pretty crap after the op, but I can live with that

So - when he suggested the 8th (I'm his fifth op that day) I said, oooh I know of someone else having her's that day, and he said we could be nose buddies - so there ya go - nose buddy! See you in the Nuffield!!:o

OMG no wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy nose buddy!!!!!!

We can visit each other when we're in hospital.

I'm gonna PM you my mobile number - I'm not on here very much to be honest.

If you want give me a wee text.

Thats nuts that we're both getting op on the same day by the same person & for the same thing!

So, myself and Dolly Rocker had our ops on Wednesday - I meant to go in and visit her the morning after but we'd just had the nasal packing out and wow - yes, that was pretty traumatic! It was the most horrible sensation, we both had long packs and bled profusely! But we've swopped photos via mobile. Both bruised and blocked, but almost pain free from the start. Felt great Wednesday night, morphine-induced euphoria I think but I don't feel so great now, mainly due to the amount of dried blood and gunk - one nostril completely blocked at the entrance, hospital says it's ok, I'm not convinced...:/ Back on Thursday to have the plaster and stitches removed, will keep you posted Just can't believe it's finally done really - and as long as there is some improvement, I'll be satisfied.Thanks again for all the great advice on here x

imho

Cat501 I only found this thread today so read it all.Thanks for putting a update.
Good its all gone ok for you both.
What a nice feeling though that you both have been operated on .Give it a few weeks and your be so pleased you had it done.

thanks imho Just heard from Dolly, she's just had her cast off and is WELL happy!:j:j:j

I'm leaving for the hospital in 15 mins to get mine off - fingers crossed!:eek:

imho

Oh shame you didnt post a picture of before and after.
But good for you 2.
Take Care.

Cat501

I think the after photos would almost be worse!

But despite LOTS of swelling, we can both tell that we're going to be happy with our new noses eventually!:j

Hey sweetie!!

How you been?

I'm so chuffed with my new nose & will second that getting that packing removed was AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was really the only time I have felt any pain at all its been great.

I'm looking forward to my consultation theres a couple of wee bits that I want to ask him about but I'm pretty sure its just scar tissue & it will go in its own time.

I'm still a wee bit swollen on my left side aswell so not perfectly straight looking but when that goes it will be much better!

Love it when I'm out & dont have to be paranoid about people thinking I have a massive nose!
