Rhinoplasty Revision Surgery: One-Year Post-Op Recap | Recovery, Healing, The Process + Tips

[@thesegamas7290]

I try to be really intentional about not paying attention to people's flaws, and as much as I tried, I was really drawn to your nose after the damage was done. It was very significant, and with your job requiring such constant use of your face, my heart really went out to you. I'm so glad you found a surgeon who did such a beautiful job on the surgery itself (the recovery... ehhhh, but I digress). You were beautiful before the 1st, after the 1st, during and after the staph, and you're beautiful now, but feeling beautiful adds a different kind of self-care, and a different mental state, and it manifests in much of your life. Your beauty has only continued to radiate and grow over this past year. I'm really happy for you, and hope you continue to feel as beautiful as you are!

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you for the kind words sweet friend!!🤍

[@blakemoon2123]

I’m an autoimmune girlie (IBD and RA) I also have had MRSA in the past. To be honest, when you announced on your channel that you were moving forward with this second surgery post MRSA I was terrified for you. Truly. I couldn’t even watch your channel during this time leading up to your surgery. Obviously I was just basing this off my own experience being immune suppressed and with active MRSA… but I am SO glad you overcame it and recovered!

[@hannahs.7760]

your nose looks like it’s always been that way - it really fits you perfectly!

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you so much Hannah🤍🤍

[@KateBlank-x7g]

I found you after all of your rhinoplasty but your nose now is perfect for your face! I'm sorry you had to go through all of that but I think we can all agree, it looks so natural and so you!! Love you, Michel!!

[@libbymorehouse4466]

So glad the doctor covered the bill! So much cheaper for him than facing a potential medical malpractice case from the negligence in prescription

[@BarbaraBraue]

You look beautiful, but I remember feeling so terribly sorry for you when you were going through all that (your poor mama) because it looked so painful and then when you said they had to pull out stents from your nose🥹, seemed unbearable. But you did it, came out beautiful, and you’re healthy and strong. Also, seeing how caring and helpful Jordy was with you.WOW, he was made for you and a one and only love for the rest of your lives❤️

[@nickirochelle]

Happy first birthday, Mr. Nose! 🎉😊

[@annasims3894]

Thank you for being so candid and informative. The anesthesia does slow digestion and the pain meds caused me to have elimination issues. Stool softeners were my saving grace, alas I learned this after the fact. Blessings

[@jvlcixm]

glad you're happy about it all! you look beautiful

[@Ang-n9p]

Ily, and as a fellow autoimmune girly (mines a vascular issue that presents primarily in skin and some other gastrointestinal symptoms), you are an inspiration!!! I loved your content before I realized you had lupus, or even really knew what lupus was, but your journey makes me feel so less alone!

[@kendallk9871]

I appreciate your video and review, but I just have to chime in about two things you said based on my training as a hospital pharmacist: Guidelines do not recommend anti fungal medications as prophylaxis in an immunocompetent patient on antibiotics and your surgeon or pharmacist should’ve warned you that constipation post-op and especially while on opioid pain medications is incredibly common so monitor closely and gentle laxatives can be used while on opioids to prevent constipation.

[@suecorrigan1216]

That was a rough time for you!! And you handled it with such grace and class! Turned out so beautiful!! ❤️

[@ChristineS-sf3rc]

so glad you are pleased with the outcome.. you look lovely. Wow that was some process! Glad it's over and you are feeling good!! God bless you sweet Michel❤❤

I am about 6 weeks post op from a breast reduction-I feel your pain when it comes to the rib incision to harvest cartilage to build up your nose. I have what they call “anchor” incisions- and it looks exactly like you would think (they start with taking off the nipple, resize the breast, and then stitch all the way around the nipple to the bottom, then cut straight down and then side to side on the under side of the actual breast, not the abdomen, and it looks like a boat anchor). I had a giant ace bandage-like compression wrap for several days that gave me so much more support than i realized. I only thought I had an easy time moving around until the surgeon took it off. I still dread car rides. Between the seat belt and South Carolina roads I’m sure i get funny looks holding them so they don’t move. I know the start was a bit rough for you but it really has healed so well! I’ve also had 2 rhinoplasties when I had sinus surgeries and sneezing was hellacious! When they pulled out that packing-holy crap. When I woke up I kept asking them to take the tampons out of my nose 😂😂😂 I wish physicians will give more info and options for constipation, especially if using narcotic pain meds post op since they slow down the contractions of your digestive system that move everything through. Since I’ve had a few surgeries now I always suggest for people to start a stool softener, such as miralax prior to surgery to get ahead of it. Your surgeon did really well making it fit your facial features and it looks so natural

[@thriftythrifter1166]

I got introduced to your channel (now subscriber) from your rhinoplasty video. I am almost 8 months post op rhinoplasty revision and I was also under for 7 hours. I had a septoplasty also. Arnica before the surgery was included within an excellent regimen my doctor made sure I followed and also arnica post op. I had minimal bruising …. Also had the stents, which I definitely did not care for at all! Quite the experience. I’m so glad you didn’t get MRSA 2nd time around. ❤ thank you for sharing your experience! Also, one thing that helped me was mini ice packs for my face after surgery. Felt so good on my face! Lots of qtips too for your nostrils!!! Make sure to have those on hand.

[@kathysnyder3881]

You are just so good at explaining things and sharing things! Everything you say seems like it comes straight from the heart. You are truly lovely, Michel. ❤

[@MichelJanse]

Awwe this is very sweet thank you Kathy!🤍

[@kelseywinterhalt6468]

This was very interesting video of your one year since your surgery! I hope that you feel back to normal next year.... I wonder if your nose would feel different or go back to the normal way before your surgery! I have watched your videos when you had your nose job last year! I hope your happy with the results ❤😊

[@joanpotanko6351]

That was a hard surgery. I had sinus surgery which was nothing compared to yours. I remember having a terrible smell and he said it was blood clots so took them out and that was so painful. Your nose looks great and healed great. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@plushieangela]

I had a gastric sleeve myself. One thing that helped me with gas pressure pain is walking. Not like a power walk, just like a slow shuffle around the house/ward

[@MD-bk7fk]

the cheesy smell is most likely staph! thats what staph smells like, but all different forms of staph live all over our skin so it's not necessarily MRSA, maybe just normal skin flora.

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I remember I had a cold when I gave birth to my youngest son via C section, so I remember the brutal torture of sneezing! A friend of mine told me that if you rub your tongue on the roof of your mouth when you feel a sneeze coming on, it will keep you from sneezing. It worked & I was so grateful! 😊

[@annette.1030]

Apparently manuka honey and colloidal silver are super effective against MRSA if you ever run across it again in the future! And bonus the honey tastes great in Matcha lattes :)

[@1231amandamarie]

This may be a big ask, but would you consider doing a video on how you determined what charges were billed incorrectly for your hospital stay? I have an autoimmune disease so I am a frequent flyer in the hospital. I asked for an itemized bill once and found it super confusing and honestly just didn’t have the energy to fight it. But it sounds like maybe you did. So any insight you could share into that process would be greatly appreciated!! Hope you enjoy your time off!!

[@jmconant]

I asked for an itemized bill after having my son. It was gibberish lol I’ve considered taking a medical billing course just to understand medical bills lol

[@stephanieburgess8217]

I had a septoplasty in March and my throat was more sore than I’ve ever had with any other surgeries.. and I’ve had 7 hour much more complicated surgeries before.. so I was surprised. And it was much worse than the pain from the actual surgery.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Michel happy Tuesday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

[@kzfingerprint]

I watch all of your videos and was fully aware of this whole process as you were going through it, but how did I not know that they were rebuilding your whole nose?!? Your nose looks great, btw! 😊

[@jeneinstein]

This means it's been 1 year since sweet Jordy asked for your parents blessing to propose!!!

[@carolineneedsleep]

Medical malpractice insurance exists for a reason. Doctors aren't covering their patients hospital bills out of their own pockets.

[@Bob-wr1mn]

You are such a sweet sweet person and I’m so happy for your life now. I pray for your health daily. You have come so far and been through so much. You are deserving of all the LOVE you have in your life currently and I’m so thankful you were so lead from your past marriage into this BLESSING of a life!

[@racheldorsay]

Omg I feel you on the fear of vomit 🙈 It's SO REAL. I wonder how I'll deal with pregnancy or children when the time comes.

[@le9065]

Hi Michel! Just confused about the doctor "covering" expenses as doing so exposes him to liability claims and is very unlikely. If he did, you might reconsider sharing that info as it could set up expectations for future patients and put him in an awkward spot.

[@XoCortanaXo]

How did you get your hospital bill from 40k to 3k? Sorry, but that was the part that I got super interested in 😅

[@plushieangela]

I remember you discovering those blue artificial flowers you bought in a post-surgery haze XD it was adorable

[@jeannine1991]

The tan is working well for you. 😎🏝️

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you friend🤍🤍

[@SkySpiral8]

So my biggest question is, does initial rhinoplasty make you more susceptible to a staph infection years later? Or was it a pure coincidence that you got an infection on your nose?

[@BSincerely]

THANK YOU FOR THE DETAIL AND HONESTY!!!👏🏼💕

[@MichelJanse]

Of course sweet friend!!🤍🤍

[@Julez128]

When you said Central America I definitely thought you meant Central America -out of the country

[@TransparencyBodycam]

Do you need to sneeze with your mouth wide open after the surgery?

[@skyllarkuppinger6751]

Yes. It fucking sucks!

[@melodypeasley2567]

I scar a lot. In April i had a double mastectomy because of triple negative breadt cancer. They used the glue on my mastectomy scar and the scar in my armpit from the removal of the cancerous lymph nodes. The maste tomy scar goes from one side all the way under what was my breasts across to my other side. These are the smallest line wise scars i have ever had and i think it was because the used the glue. Hope this makes sense i am currently in the middle of radiation and my brain is pretty fried.

[@tigerpandarabbit]

woah, crazy process! can I ask where you top is from please? thank you!

[@eeshazor]

The stints were horrible 😭😭😭. For me, personally, that was the worst part of rhinoplasty. I'll never forget bursting into tears when they pulled them out a few days later. Very grateful that they didn't have to do any skin grafts for mine 🙏. And yes, the lack of movement afterward was ROUGH for me too, but I was told that it was because I was taking Norcos after and that it's a known side-effect. I would probably not take Norco again 😂😂😅😅. Edit: I agree with the others who mentioned that this nose looks like it was made for you. It's very natural-looking and flattering 🥰!!

[@luceymajor]

I had a nose job when I was 30. You look fantastic. It's sooooo worth all the pain.

[@paulas7414]

Was the reason that your existing bridge didn’t offer enough support for the new tip that you had that other nose job?

Your nose looks perfect!💛 Did you have breast implants also? My 24 yr old daughter wants to have it done and has Autoimmune disease so I don’t think it’s a great idea. Also, do you have any other Autoimmune disease or health issues other than Celiac?

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you! No I haven’t - but I’d be too scared to ever consider it with breast implant illness being so prevalent. I’d encourage her to read into that! And I have celiac, EDS + lupus. 🤍

Seems since staph caused the need for second surgery that insurance would pay on that.

Zofran will constipate you. The last three c-sections I had I refused zofran because I’d rather be nauseated than constipated. It’s a trade off for sure. You may prefer constipation though if you hate being sick to your stomach.
