thanks dr. versace for deciphering that code lol

yeah that sounds like your nose was majorly messed up inside!!!!! aren't you happy it's all fixed now must be such a relief. oh yeah and you don't have to answer this if it's private but did you go through insurance with this? if you did do you know what portion $ wise they paid for it? i'm trying to figure out how much insurance pays for rhino on average i bet it really depends on what surgeon you go to.

Thanks so much Doctor for taking the time to put that into English for me. I appreciate it. about the insurance, well my mom paid for the operation, however we still put in through insurance - last time I checked they were basically saying yes, I was very messed up and I needed this this and this (all the procedures to OPEN the nose and not covering this this and this, the procedures to CLOSE the nose. So my mother wrote them a letter saying well? What would you have her do? Walk around with an open nose?? Last time she was denied something and wrote a letter they actually reversed there decision - we'll see if it happens. What they do is give the insurance company a list of all the procedures they will be doing. My nose job had like 8 procedures listed. Some came back right away covered, others "still pending" and others denied. If you're doing it for cosmetic reasons alone you're not gonna get much back. But if there are internal injuries you will get back at least half, and in my case my doctor said they absolutely should be paying 90% because I was severely disabled, but like I said, my mom paid and she's not going to be writing a ton of letters fighting the insurance company. She just wanted me healthy.

i'm no doctor but when my sister got surgery she had reconstructive work as well and didn't have bruises longer than a couple weeks. her thing is a bit different as they didn't need to break the bridge and on the other hand her nose was numb a few months at the tip. have you asked your doctor yet? u can just give him a call if u don't want to go to the office yet.

For the complexities of your nose, severe numbness is perfectly normal for several months post-op. Is the entire nose numb or just the nasal tip? Most often you will be experiencing the largest degree of numbness in the tip.

I didn't notice any dark circles under your eyes in your photographs? If you have residual swelling in your cheeks from your nose, which I'm sure you do, this would of course add volume. The volume added would create the illusion of a sunken in area above it, which is right below the eyes. This could give the appearance of circles or shadows under your eyes, is this what you are referring to?
