Pretty big life changing moment for me...

Alright OS'ers...some people have opened about some personal things and I figured I might as well join the club.

I have a pretty bad deviated septum. The inside of my nose is quite messed up and I can't really breath out of my right nostril. To add to that you'll see in the pic below that I also have a bump on my nose that is pretty damn noticeable. As Mya would say...it's "like whoa". Alright that was terrible but anyways....to the point:

I'm getting rhinoplasty (nose surgery) next friday, February the 8th, 2 days after turning 23, whooooooooooooooooo

I'm pretty nervous at this time just wondering what the outcome is going to be. If anyone knows somebody who has had this procedure before please chime in with some advice.

If you have a horror story keep it to yourself!!!!!!

I'm not worried about the pain or anything it's just leaving my appearance up to a doc. Oh man




And yea I have a really big head...it's so damn long

I'll post pictures after the procedure as well and have some comparison pics. Also I'll show some recovery pics!!! Oh man!!!!!!!!!

Just to show how I feel at the moment...and man it looks so messed up!

I had a turbinectomy/septioplasty two years ago.

Have fun with the recovery.

How'd that go? It can't be any worse than having my tonsils out...at age 21. Worst experience of my life.

What type of time frame is there for recovery? Were you able to do activities i.e. lift?

Thanks for the good luck wishes.

Good luck man, but why do they call it rhinoplasty, looking at a rhino, i think someone with a nose problem the last thing they want to think about is a damn rhino. Hope every thing turns out well and that you dont come out looking like a rhino.

I'm pretty sure rhino means nose

I'm just hoping I don't come out looking like this...

Dude you have nuts posting pics like that in here. Good thing OS is a cool community, and nobody is going to make any nose jokes....

Anyway good luck, ive seen taht stuff done on TV and they just knock the **** out of your nose when your out. It looks painful and im sure its going to hurt alot after. I reccomend doubling whatever your Doc says to take for painkillers. But dont go all you know who on me now.

Good luck, intrested to see the after pics of that shnaze.
