I am increasingly convinced that FedEx is far more reliable than UPS!

The kids over at FedEx just contacted me to claim my package was nowhere to be found... blah, blah, blah... compensation for damages... what a joke. I honestly find it impossible to believe such incompetence can exist within a service of this stature.

As of now, I am still sitting here waiting on a certified package that was supposedly sent out back on January 14th.

Linda Williams28, I appreciate it.

silverangler4 said:Ladies, is anyone else dealing with delayed shipments right now? 😢My customers have been reaching out because their orders haven't arrived yet, even though I sent one package on Monday and another on Tuesday...

I’ve been waiting on my check since January 14th.😢
I absolutely despise our postal service; honestly, I’ve had mail arrive from the New York Times faster than it arrives from Washington, D.C.🙂

Ivanna, have you actually received those shipments you were waiting on yet?

I’ve been sitting here waiting for a package sent back on January 14th, and quite frankly, it’s still nowhere to be found...😢

It has been exactly one month now.

brightotter21 said:Once I rinse it out with that solution, am I actually allowed to blow a little bit out since everything is still fresh?

I just blew normally and absolutely nothing happened to me, so I fail to see why it wouldn't be fine.

brightotter21 said:I have to take the mold off in a few days, and I am honestly lost on what comes next or how I should be acting; they told me I need to massage my nose a bit.
I am terrified that someone might accidentally bump into me or apply even a slightly heavy touch, because I am constantly paranoid that my nose will end up crooked from it....

How do you guys rinse everything out with saline? My nose is absolutely packed with blood clots, so I assume this congestion is going to plague me for quite a while longer.

Nothing is going to happen to your nose, seriously... unless you take an extremely heavy hit to the face.

Carol Reed64 said:Hey, can anyone tell me who handles the paperwork when all my test results are due at Dr. Glušac’s office? Can I just bring them on the day of the surgery since I'm cutting it incredibly close with my schedule, given that my procedure is this Friday and my labs won't be ready until Thursday? Also, will I actually have enough time before the operation to sit down with him once more to consult and finalize exactly what I want done and what I don't? If anyone has any other helpful advice, please share, because I am starting to panic as Friday gets closer.😱

It is perfectly sufficient to simply hand over your results right as you arrive for the surgery, and regarding your consultation, you will have a full discussion with him beforehand involving photos and setting your specific goals... good luck, and let us know how everything turns out!

Kimberly Baker13 said:Does anyone happen to know which surgeon did Marijana Batinić's rhinoplasty? Honestly, if I had results like that, I would be flaunting them on my face immediately.😉

It was done by Glumicic.

Chris Reed4 said:It’s been two months since the surgery, and everything has finally settled into place; the tip is slightly swollen, but it isn't a major issue. Recovery took a solid month, during which I basically went into hibernation at home. The procedure itself wasn't nearly as terrifying as people make it out to be—the first two days are the hard part, but after that, everything was smooth sailing. 🙂

So, are you actually happy with how your nose turned out?

urbanowl13 said:Can I realistically expect to be back on my feet and out of the house within a week to ten days after the surgery? I'm asking because of work commitments and some university stuff...

I'd say you probably can, though it really depends on the specific procedure; just be prepared that you might need to use a bit of concealer to hide any bruising around your eyes.

I am also of the opinion that there is absolutely no need to discuss surgical procedures with everyone...
People can be incredibly malicious and will invariably focus on finding flaws or mistakes rather than acknowledging the positive outcomes.
The only thing that truly matters is whether we are satisfied with the results.

Emily Brooks53 said:What’s the absolute minimum age for this surgery? I'm only 16 right now, and I realize it might be premature to even ask, but I've been certain about getting my nose fixed for years already. 😬 Someone on the early pages of this thread mentioned you shouldn't go through with it until you're at least 22 because of bone development and stuff like that. 😕
Can't you just get it done at 18?

You can definitely do it at 18, and honestly, I know a girl who went through with hers when she was only 16 or 17.

amberbadger81 he’s telling you all those stories about his lips... and honestly, just listen... talking about how much he'll earn, while fully knowing that people like us, who aren't afraid of a little surgery, would easily decide to go for something even more significant

And with local anesthesia, as far as I am aware, you'll be out cold like you're under general anesthesia and completely unable to communicate... communication is simply only possible when using local

Kate Taylor59 said:It’s likely a locally enhanced approach... meaning you'll be asleep, but still capable of communicating with the doctor...
You really ought to check his website to see exactly what types of anesthesia they utilize; I am certain it is listed there...
Otherwise, the specific method is coordinated with the anesthesiologist based on your medical records... so, while he might state he performs general anesthesia, if your body isn't up for a full general procedure, they will most likely opt for a locally enhanced one... (which I have heard is absolutely dreadful, though please don't take my word for it, as everyone reacts differently...)

I asked him directly if it was locally enhanced, and he insisted it wasn't... so the whole thing remains completely unclear to me.
I suppose that means it must be general anesthesia then.🤷

Has anyone actually been to see Glumicic? I’m looking into their anesthesia services, specifically because I heard they offer general anesthesia, but it doesn't seem to be the "real" kind, so now I'm left feeling quite confused about the whole situation.

Thank you.

ursula1000 did your package finally show up?
mine took forever because that girl didn't even bother to ship it when she said she would... she waited an entire week after claiming it was sent, just ignoring my messages like I didn't exist... absolutely infuriating!
