So, its been 2 1/2 weeks since I voluntarily underwent several cosmetic rhinoplasty procedures. My old nose wasn't hideous, I just wanted a few tweaks. Most people I know were quite surprised by the fact that I was getting this done and several asked "Why"?
I met with the top nose doctor in Vancouver months ago. He specializes in facial procedures and has done hundreds of surgeries per year, over a 30 year period. He determined that my areas of concern were a result of a) a deviated septum I didn't know I had and b) a separated sinus cavity (its one piece in most people).
On the morning of the surgery, the doctor drew a few dotted lines on my nose and the insides of my ears, where he was going to remove cartilage to reshape my nostrils. They put me under, he performed several procedures over a period of 1.5 hours and I spent that much time in recovery. Afterwards, I was taken back to my hotel where I recuperated for a few hours.
I was supposed to stay in bed, under the watch of two friends I brought with me, but went shopping the next day with no complications. I shopped every day after that until my check up a week later, after which I flew back home.
I didn't bruise at all, unlike most people. Doc didn't have to break my nose. I spotted for a few days and bled where the cartilage was cut from my ears but everything's healing nicely. Overall, everything went very well, the bandages came off after a week, and I bled (slightly) for about 3-4 days. My nose is still a bit swollen, and I won't see the final, final results for about 6 months but its clear that I got exactly what I wanted...
So, what's the point? I'm just documenting my experience for anyone else who might be considering making a change in their appearance.
Proceeding with a cosmetic procedure is an extremely personal decision. Do it for yourself, not for anyone else. Understand that your life will not likely change, as a result of having the surgery done. Prioritize this appropriately with your other needs/wants. Don't starve, or go homeless to get your nose done. Do your research and get the best surgeon available. Ask the questions you need to ask. Ask about potential complications. Have realistic expectations and be open to your doctor's opinions.
My surgeon was open to hearing what I wanted and took the approach that it was easier to remove less now and modify later, than to go extreme now.
Remember, its hard to put it back once you cut it off!
