I finally took my tampon out today. Nothing major to report. No bleeding at all. I can actually feel that swelling starting to subside, which is a relief. It was such a wonderful sensation when I could finally catch a whiff of my own scent 😉.
So, I stumbled upon this on www.mayoclinic.org regarding bleeding: A little bit of bleeding is actually pretty normal during those first few days following surgery, and you might deal with some stiffness for a couple of weeks. Your surgeon will likely tell you to avoid blowing your nose for a week or so while the tissue heals.
For those of you who have gone through nose surgery, please tell me: on your second day post-op, were you still seeing a little bit of spotting? And how long did you actually keep that gauze held up underneath? I’ve been reading that bleeding after the packing comes out is one of those potential complications, and honestly, I'm starting to get a little spooked.😢

Thanks, Jerry Torres74. I actually just called an acquaintance of mine who went through the surgery, and she told me she couldn't see a thing for two or three days after. Honestly, hearing that makes me feel a bit better. Did you deal with any lingering spotting or light bleeding for a long time afterward?

I am absolutely swollen—my nose bridge and my eyelids are just puffed up. I've been kissing them all day. It's honestly embarrassing to even step outside because I look like a total monster. 😍 Courtney, have any of you dealt with this on your second day post-op?
Hey girls, did you keep using cold compresses through the second day? I’m finally getting my stitches removed tomorrow (thank God), but I have this nagging feeling that everything inside still feels pretty raw. Does anyone else experience nosebleeds once those tampons are out?
Laura Castillo7 said:And if I want to stay, how much does it cost? Have you actually stayed there yet, or are you still waiting?
Laura, you could always crash at Glumicic's place for a few days. A full day—breakfast, lunch, and dinner included—runs about $80. But you really ought to give them a heads-up first. From what I can tell, they don't have a ton of extra beds, and they get quite a crowd coming in from the street.
Hey everyone, so I went under the knife today for nose surgery with Dr. Glumicic. And let me tell you, what a disaster. 🙄 Honestly, the days leading up to the procedure were the absolute worst—just constant confusion, anxiety, and those nagging thoughts of, "Why am I even doing this? I have a little girl to think about..." To make sure I didn't chicken out at the last second, I decided to chat with some women who had been through it already. One was waiting for her turn and another was already recovering. By the way, there were three nose jobs and one breast augmentation scheduled today. They gave me a "party favor" (apaurin) and suddenly I couldn't care less about anything. Now *that* is the real deal! 👍 Word on the street is I was being a bit of a terror when I started coming out of general anesthesia. Apparently, my body woke up before my brain did 😁. I kept dreaming about photo shoots—which is my actual job—but really, of all things? 🙄 Breathing through your mouth isn't exactly a luxury, but you just have to suck it up and accept it; it makes the process easier. I look pretty swollen and bruised right now, but I don't mind at all. It’ll pass. So, yeah, that’s the update.
Laura Castillo7 said:For those of you girls who went to see Glumicic, is it something where you have to stay overnight, or can you just head straight home?
Laura Castillo7 said:Jesse Taylor7, how old are you? And how did your parents react when you told them you were going to Palm Springs for surgery? I’m bracing for war here, so do you have any advice?
In my case, I was the biggest obstacle. Regarding cosmetic procedures, I used to think they were strictly reserved for someone like Madonna. Then I met an "ordinary" girl who had nose surgery, and that was my turning point. I honestly wish I had met her sooner. Try getting your mother to read this forum; let her see just how many women undergo these operations. Maybe that will make it easier for her to wrap her head around it. Talk to her about why this matters to you—how much more confident and secure you’ll feel. Every parent goes through this internal struggle because they worry about their child. It’s completely normal.
Regarding those cures you were using during surgery—did any of you actually have them on hand while the operation was underway, or did you just give them a call to come pick you up once everything was wrapped up?
You don't have to wait at all for consultations, but for surgery? I’d say you're looking at an average of about a month. Look, once you're actually in my shoes, you'll probably realize it wasn't even that big of a deal 😁
Laura Castillo7 said:And why won't he offer financing? It makes zero sense. He’s selling the most expensive items in the shop, yet refuses to provide installment plans. Why? There is no logical reason for it. Purely arbitrary. By the way, Peter Young, are you actually happy with the quality of the clothes you bought from him? Is the stuff you're wearing actually comparable to what he shows off on his website?
Dr. Zgaljardic out in Palm Springs is quite a bit more expensive—and I mean significantly. Though, if you ask me, Glumac isn't actually that much pricier than the specialists over in New York City. We're talking about a difference of maybe $90 compared to the usual $100 range. When you are dealing with your health, does that kind of margin really matter? Not in my book.
Glumac is absolutely top-tier during consultations. He stays completely focused and isn't pushy at all—meaning, the final call is always entirely up to you.
