Can you get nose surgery while wearing braces? I read somewhere that you shouldn't because your face shape won't actually settle until after the braces come off.. :O

Ashley Bishop43 said:Showed up at 8 AM. Spent the morning chatting with the anesthesiologist and going over my labs. Once that was cleared, I headed to my room and threw on one of those hospital gowns—not exactly high fashion. Glumcic took some photos of me, then we hammered out the final details on what kind of nasal implant I wanted. After that, they rolled me into the OR and hooked me up to an IV. The anesthesiologist tells me, "Alright, you're gonna drift off now. Just count down from ten." Pretty sure I hit seven and I was out cold. 🙂

Woke up feeling totally out of it. Vision was all blurry, so I just crashed again for a couple of hours. Once I finally felt human again, I chatted with everyone about how the surgery went, then headed home around 3 PM.

Megan Sanchez27, honestly, I don't even know what he was trying to pull. I didn't even want to find out. 😬 I had a decent bump on my nose that they leveled out, slimmed the nostrils a bit, and shaved down the septum. That was basically it.

Can't even say there was any actual pain after the surgery. Honestly, none. It’s just that pressure from the tampon that feels super uncomfortable, but it doesn't exactly hurt. Three days of dealing with that? I can handle it.

All I can say is, I pulled the mold off yesterday and I’m stoked. If it stays looking like this, I'm golden. 🙂

Thanks a ton for the reply! 🙂 I'm scheduled for an OP at the Mayo Clinic this November. Haven't even had my consultation yet, so I'm still in the dark. All I know is I've got this massive hump and a huge nose—honestly, feels like it needs to be completely broken just to stand a chance at being straightened out or resized. Interview is set for September, but I'm already obsessing over the details.

Ashley Bishop43 said:I had my nose job 10 days ago, Glumcic. Honestly, it wasn't even that bad. Zero pain. The worst part is just that heavy pressure in your nose and having to breathe through your mouth, but it’s totally manageable. Even getting the packing out was fine—takes a few seconds and you're done. I lowkey expected it to be way worse.

Getting my splint off today. Super stoked and can't wait to see the new look 🙂

Did they break any bone?

I'm talking about cosmetic stuff at a private clinic...

Can someone give me an answer here? If I don't live in the city and have to travel, can I just call ahead to schedule surgery for maybe 3 months out? Then just show up 2 weeks before the actual date for the consultation, everything being settled and my test results ready to go? Thanks.

Maria Castillo23 said:I had my nose broken before. Had surgery three months ago. At first, it still looked crooked to me. My doctor and I even talked about doing another procedure... but then it straightened itself out over time and I'm actually really happy with how it looks now.
Also, regarding getting the stitches pulled—they already took mine out. Just 3 of them.

btw, did you deal with insane pain? thanks

Thinking about getting some cosmetic surgery soon, so I’ve got a few questions. Has anyone here actually dealt with a broken bone during a procedure? What was that experience like for you? How bad is the recovery process?
thanks 🙂

Hey!
Can someone who actually knows what's up tell me how long the waitlist is for surgery at Glumicica?
Thanks
