Casey Ramirez4 said:I wouldn't recommend scheduling the surgery during the summer months because the heat tends to cause excessive swelling in the nasal passages. From what I gather regarding your situation, since you were in a cooler climate, the inflammation should subside much faster, though you really have to stay out of the sun. Also, just a heads up, you'll deal with some crusting inside the nose post-op, which you'll need to manage with saline rinses and sea salt sprays.^^

Which month did you actually go under the knife?
To be perfectly honest, the procedure itself doesn't phase me at all—nor does the thought of having the packing removed or dealing with those internal splints...
The only thing that genuinely concerns me is the bruising... 😲
I have a nose that feels far too prominent, both in length and width... 😢
it’s certainly nothing compared to someone like Jadranka Djokic,
but frankly, it just doesn't harmonize with the rest of my features.
At the moment, I am in the process of saving up enough funds,
as I have placed this surgery on a two-year timeline 😉
and I find myself with several questions...
1.- My shortlist currently includes Smith and Tony.
What are your thoughts regarding their work?
2.- I am curious about the cost...
Some women on this forum mentioned paying around $8,000 for the procedure, whereas
the doctors' official websites list significantly higher prices... 😕
3.- And what about recovery?
How long does the healing process actually take? I read somewhere that bruising lingers for about two months and that it isn't wise
to undergo the surgery during the summer. I am genuinely struggling to figure out how
I would manage all of that alongside school and my other responsibilities...
4.- Since I don't live in the local area...
how many trips will I need to make for consultations and check-ups? Both before and after? From what I understand,
one stays at the clinic for two days... you stay overnight, they remove the packing the next day, and then you head home??
...and then you have to return again for a follow-up appointment?? 😕
