Rhino 24

[melissacarter]

24 hours and counting. After almost having surgery postponed due to an EKG irregularity, my rhinoplasty is set for tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous. But feeling good about my decision and have total confidence in the doctor. The procedure will be an "open rhinoplasty" , which is a less severe surgery. The nose bone will most likely not be broken. The change will be minor. A slight concave turn to my nose ridge and a slight reshaping of the tip. My doctor has never steered me wrong. I've been pleased with results working with him so far.

Wish me luck!

All the best for ya!

Question: Why do they perform an EKG? I'm guessing it's to determine the risk of you ticker suddenly giving up under anesthetic. I ask because a lady I know has a mild heart condition and is determined to go ahead with her nip & tuck despite her GP's warning.

You are correct, the reason is anasthesia can disrupt a heart with irregular electric flow.

as for your friend, all I can say is that is extremely unwise to follow through. I would never do this if a doctor warned me against it. In my case, the doctor ordered a nuclear stress test (which was hugely expensive and out of pocket) to assess my heart and then gave her okay for the surgery.

Thanks the info Melissa, appreciate it. I'll make sure she checks up on the nuclear stress test.

Best of luck, Melissa! I'm looking forward to seeing what you had in mind for that already pretty nose. I trust all your arrangements worked out, as you planned.

Luv ya!!!

It's over. The operation went well. I'm sore all over and high on Percoset. I'm a wreck. My face is swollen, eyes are bloodshot, and my throat is sore from that tube they put into my windpipe.

But it was all worth it. I love my new nose!

[JohnnyWalkerBlackLabel]

how much was that?$?$

[melissacarter]

I might tell you privately but I'm certainly not going to announce it on the boards.

It was a lot.

May everything go well for you Melissa.

Oh and your nose was so cute!
Best of wishes hope you recover quickly!
And don't worry every one gets blood shot eyes after they get their nose worked on.

[melissacarter]

I'm in so much fucking pain! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[CORVETTEDUDE]

Lissa...I'm glad everthing went well and, as I said earlier, look forward to the final results. But, I have to say (laughingly), right now, it looks like you got your ass kicked in a bad bar fight!!! I'm saving that pic, as I have all those you've so graciously provided, so far. This one goes in the "history" book! Get better, soon!!!

Luv ya!!!

Thanks Vette. Yr right, I feel like I was beaten with a sack of oranges. Just trying to rest and recooperate. In the past two months I've been in a bad car accident, got fired and now had surgery. The Trifecta.

thnx again for yr support, CVD!
