Surgery

[Kate Moss]

Has anyone had Septo-Rhinoplasty before?? (In other words a nose job?)


I'm going into Hospital in a months time to have it done (ouch) and just wondered if anyone could offer any advise? (Apart from "don't have it done!)

[Bluepete]

Are you going to pick your own?



Badum - tish!




Sorry, I'll get my coat,........

[Pedrosa]

Wha hey! My thrice broken and now slightly turning to the left nose is also to go under the hammer and chisel shortly also! Dunno about you Mrs.Wotsit but dont fancy being awake listening to all that crunching going on?

Best of luck with it.

[Kate Moss]

Thankfully, I shall be asleep! I'm nervous as hell!!

[kitkat]

seen it done on telly, extreme makeover or something - good luck

[Pedrosa]

Not aiming for a drastic change tbh. Just to not make it look as if I am an ex boxer. Not looking for it to make a whole lot of difference to how the world sees me,just a personal bit of maintenance really.

[Kate Moss]

I'm having quite a lot of work done. They say it is common so was just interested to see if anyone here had experienced it. They reckon two week recovery, so I shall be in need of some entertaining on here!!

[Speedy Claire]

Expect to be a bit sore for a week or so, there`ll be some bruising and a lot of inflammation inside your nose. Your breathing will feel a bit compromised immediately after due to the swelling inside so get yourself a stock of ibuprofen in. Having said all this the results are gonna be more than worth a week or so of discomfort. Very best of luck hun x

its a once in a lifetime oppotunity......don,t blow it:)

Hehehehehe :-P

[phil24_7]

Some very helpful suggestions there! lol

I offered to do the breaking bit for her but she's declined my help!!!

[Lozzo]

You try your hardest to help and they don't want to know, eh Phil?

When she comes out she'll likely have two black eyes. You can point at them and say "You don't need to tell her, she's been told twice already"

[phil24_7]

Ha ha, had already planned on something very similar!

Great minds aye!

[Kate Moss]

gee thanks! I cant wait for all the jokes! But don't make me laugh, it will hurt!!!

[gettin2dizzy]

Is it for just cosmetic reasons ?

[Kate Moss]

Well I don't have any problems with my breathing if thats what you mean???

[gettin2dizzy]

So is it purely for aesthetic reasons?
(not a criticism, just curiosity)

yep, put an end to the bullying!

[Pedro68]

Just thought I'd have a nosey in here :lol:

[Jayneflakes]

Where are you being treated? I had some stuff done in the Nuffield, they were great while I was in there, but after care was a little poor. The anaesthetic was nice though, I could do with some of that when I go to work!
Good luck girl X

Im in Derriford, not posh enough to go to Nuffield!!! Being Kate Moss though I do expect my own room with Plasma tv and room service!!

Thanks, I'm hoping Phil will provide sufficient after care!!!

If there was a tumbleweed, it would be blowing past your window right now!

There is! I can see it!!

I can also hear the distant tolling of a lonely church bell :rolleyes:

[phil24_7]

Would love to join in the joking septum a bit busy right now!!

Snot funny

[Kate Moss]

3 weeks to go - eeeek! If anoyone can recommend some super strength pain killers, please do!!!

[Supervox]

I had a septoplasty (sp?) done back in the late 90's - no problem - single night in hosptial (but only because I didn't go into theatre until about 5:00pm)

Just one word of advice - when the nurse removes the packs from your nostrils - RESIST the urge to blow your nose - as copious amounts of dried blood, snot etc, etc will come flying out & spray all over the place !! (I was lucky when I did it - all the nurse said was "I don't think you want to do that again!!")

As for the rest - well it was a pain having to use a syringe to squirt salt water into each nostril for a couple of weeks - but no major drama.

I am having dissolvable packs thank god because i've heard they really hurt to pull out?

[Supervox]

Mine didn't hurt at all when removed - guess I was lucky !! :D

[Kate Moss]

eeek, im scared! really not looking forward to having the stitches taken out either! At least il be asleep for all the other horrible stuff!

[yorkie_chris]

Taking stitches out isn't bad at all with the proper tool

whats the tool? and would it help if I got drunk before hand?

[yorkie_chris]

Depends if you're taking your own out.

The tool is like a hooked scalpel blade iirc, smooth on the outside of the hook to get under the stitch.

Nearly passed out then! im so lame

[yorkie_chris]

lol, nothing to be lame about, they're not gonna be in your foot :-P

Seriously it doesnt hurt a bit.

[Kate Moss]

Along with a wealthy supply of pain killers, if anyone has any bags I could use to put over my head, much appreciated!!

[Xan173]

I've always found larger noses to be quite attractive on girls.

So you'll be safe then.

(you weren't talking about me were you?!!!)

[anna]

..I hope it all goes well for you i'm sure it will ..

I know that i'm going to be flamed for saying this but in some ways i'm just sorry that you feel you need to go through it not to get bullied/remarked upon.

[hovis]

awww :kiss:


(you weren't talking about me were you?!!!)

yup.......... you are the one with a hat on in your avatar....... ar'nt you?

Why would you be flamed?

I feel silly for not having the strength to deal with people who feel it necessary to make remarks etc. but at 24 I should be able to go on a night out and not come home early and in tears as I am so self concious and another numpty has found it funny to say something.
Its been an issue for aslong as I can remember and having your self confidence and self esteem knocked for that long is hard to claw back from.

I know I should just be able to ignore people, but the damage has been done now and I don't think there is any other option for me if I want to start to re-build my confidence.

the pain will be worth it as it will change so many aspects of my life and even though phil24_7 loves me the way i am, maybe I can start to feel good enough to be in the relationship.

And then...move over the real kate Moss...mini moss is coming through!!!

[Kate Moss]

yup.......... you are the one with a hat on in your avatar....... ar'nt you?


yeah thats me!!! hehe
