I had my rhinoplasty in 87, absolute best thing I ever did. It took almost a full year to regain 100% sensation.

[@divineariestarot558]

can you breathe with those white gauzes under your nose? and if so how cause i’m scared to get mine done because of this reason

[@milliedamus888]

​@@divineariestarot558 I have my rhinoplasty yesterday, I must tell you it's a struggle for me to breathe, I'm breathe thru my mouth, but my doctor will take the cast inside of my nose till Tuesday, I'm hoping Tuesday comes soon.

[@nicolebriglia]

I was in a car accident in high school where the other driver was at fault and due to damage I was referred to a plastic surgeon and I will always call it my blessing in disguise. My nose was always my biggest insecurity that was fixed due to an accident.

[@ogdumplings8196]

I'm still waiting for someone hit me in the car. Lol

[@CarmRNBSN]

I love this!! Thank you for the transparency; you look beautiful either way. Getting surgery does not mean you don’t love yourself; it’s an alternative to enhance certain things you may not like.

[@TheNurseNook]

Thank you! Yes I totally agree, sometimes you just want a little alterations

I am having rhinoplasty next month. I am going to Turkey. I’ve done lots of research and I’m very excited. Wish me luck. 🍀 ❤

I don’t usually comment on videos but just had to. A few years back when i was prepping for nursing school, i watch your videos for tips // motivation // what to expect and it immensely helped me. Today i’m almost finished with school and looking into NICU as a speciality, i looked up day in the life videos on NICU and you popped up, everything’s full circle and you are such an inspiration and so amazing! Thank you for all you do

I had a car wreck, and my face hit something- not sure what- and then the air bag hit me. Broke nose terribly. Deviated septum - quite a few issues. I go to the consult December 6. Thank you for this video. I am scared, and at 47, I no longer scare easily. I have an adult daughter with 2 grandchildren - pretty much have seen it all. 😂 I appreciate you sharing this.

What to do about regular nose bleeds and rubbing your nose if Allergies happen?

How’d it go

[@baileythompson2602]

How much time off did you take? How did the recovery process go over at work? Patients? Your mask putting pressure there?? Also, how did you go about finding a plastic surgeon? We have very similar bridges and I’ve thought about this for a long time as well. Thanks!

[@TheNurseNook]

I only took a week off of work. I made sure to position my surgical mask wasn’t resting on my bridge or tip. I found my surgeon via hashtags on Instagram and thoroughly reviewed her

[@dorianemoulard335]

Thank you for sharing, after how long were you able to breath normally by the nose please ?

[@joexulaje]

You did not have a droopy nose tip, it was 90 degree which is the ideal for masculine noses. Your new nose looks lovely!

[@katieb3929]

Accept she’s not a man

[@jazzbeau507]

People who told you that you don't love yourself, have a very elementary understanding, if even that, of what self-esteem is all about. You look much better and now you can really be yourself instead of being self conscious of what was a disfiguring appearance. There are a lot of people, especially women, against rhinoplasties. They might be worried that you will look prettier or have more self esteem (afterwards) than they do. You did the right thing and made a financial sacrifice as well as went through pain. Rhinoplasties have plummeted in the US last I checked the data, and this scenario is due to a very misguided agenda.

[@AliciaBartlett-pn3pd]

Thank you! I’m literally day 4 post op and I’m terrified that I’ll have a piggy nose! The cast and splints are uncomfortable and the sutures on my septum area are sensitive. It’s such a hard surgery because it’s literally the center of your face! I’m praying I love the results when he takes the cast off on Wednesday! Wish me luck!

[@Ratcooni]

HOW WAS IT???

[@andreacruz663]

Loving the new nose it’s prefect!! 😍😍

[@aledisenoslindos3197]

It was miserable for me too, my surgery lasted about 4 hours, the first night I was throwing up , and it was very painful, I had to take my pain medicine for about six day, it's been six weeks and still hurts, I am already seeing the results and I like it, also was painful when the doctor removed my stitches

[@she_goes_simply]

Hi! I am so late to the game on this but going for a rhinoplasty in March :) I had a septoplasty a few years ago and it was rough, but my biggest question - what do you EAT while healing? During my last recovery I think I only ate frozen fruit (to suck on) and yogurt because I couldn't chew. Big veggie person here so not being able to chomp was an issue. Food ideas during recovery?

[@BeautyAndHerBeasts]

You can love who you are without loving a certain physical feature. Its sad that people think "loving yourself" or "self love" means "loving your looks" aka being completely self absorbed and/or conceited. It's ironic because the greatest expression of self love is actually your ability to love others. Typically you project onto others how you feel about yourself. Its funny because since my rhinosplasty I've found I'm able to connect with people on a deeper level, because Im not consantly worried about how their viewing me, and being self concious about my looks. Whats more ironic is where before I thought about my looks alot, now without this looming cloud I rarely think about my looks, and freed up more space/time in my mind to think and look out for those around me. Hope this makes sense. 😅 Your results are BEAUTIFUL! ❤😇🥰

[@babala3160]

Love what you comment,you are wise and kind

[@xcalabur18]

Thanks so much for posting this! Very informative. I'm actually getting surgery soon, too. I am wondering if you could explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that freaks me out!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!

[@Amanda-eq2ge]

for rhinoplasty they generally use general anesthesia and it’s not something you’re going to remember process wise. they give you and IV and then boom you close your eyes and then open them and it’s all over. it feels like all you did was blink but also it felt like i just slept really good. i asked for laughing gas before the IV so that i was a little loopy before being put under. you cannot fight the anesthesia lol, you will lose

[@19971997nikki]

Your nose looks beautiful!! But as a nurse myself who has to wear N95s occasionally at work, can you wear a N95 after a nose job or only surgical masks?

[@TheNurseNook]

Hey! i just wanted to ask u regarding going back to work how long did it take u? I work as a RN in hospital and we have to wear mandatory N95 and goggles so i gotta start my shifts again post 2 weeks of my surgery im concerned whether its gonna ruin the nose job cause those masks are so tight! should i ask for a custom splint from my surgeon to protect it during the times i wear mask and work?

I just had my third rhinoplasty so I'm kind of an expert now lol! 1st one was botched, then had a major 7 hour revision with a new surgeon and yesterday I had my second revision with him to do a few more repairs.

[@DianaD113]

how was your first botched if i can ask? anything to look out for to avoid getting a botched one?

[@tacosmargs58]

@@DianaD113 Yes! First of all be sure to go to a surgeon that specializes in FACIAL plastic surgery and is also board certified in ENT. I didn't know this at first so I went to a general plastic surgeon. Huge mistake. He took out too much cartilage and left me with no septum. I developed what's called saddle nose deformity, my nose collapsed and I lost the ability to berathe. It was horrible and I don't want anyone to go through that.

[@DianaD113]

@@DianaD113 Thanks so much. I'm always willing to share my story. First surgeon was Ryan Hoffman in Philadelphia. He shouldn't be practicting on anyone's face.
