Rhinoplasty: Experiences and recovery tips?
in Health ·
Hi there, everyone! I’m new here—just finished scrolling through this entire forum from A to Z. Honestly, thanks to all of you for the wealth of information; there is quite a bit to digest!
So, about a year ago, I had my tonsils and septum worked on by Dr. Bastaić, and then just three weeks ago, I finally went under the knife for my nose. Purely aesthetic surgery. It’s hard to say why I didn't just knock them all out at once... I suppose I convinced myself it wasn't necessary, only to change my mind later. It just goes to show how little we actually know ourselves, doesn't it? Regardless, I am beyond thrilled with the results from both procedures.
Now, this might disappoint some of you, but the truth is—so far—neither my neighbors nor my acquaintances have noticed any difference at all. Most of them live in a different city anyway, so I haven't seen them much lately; that part of the "reveal" is still pending. Oh, and naturally, nobody knows about the surgery except for my husband—I learned my lesson after seeing how my friends reacted when I mentioned the septum work a year ago. Everyone assumed I was hiding some ulterior motive. It’s been fascinating, in a cynical sort of way, to observe how people perceive and judge one another. For me, the transformation is night and day—since the procedure involved removing the hump, narrowing the nostrils, and some lifting and shortening... yet, somehow, everything looks completely natural and balanced.
That’s all for now. Best regards!
