Just had rhinoseptoplasty with Andrew Greensmith

[AmyVM 23]

Hi everyone, I'm one day post op from rhinoseptoplasty with Andrew Greensmith.he also did a fascial graft from behind my ear to build up my nose. I did heaps of research leading up to my decision to use him and I can say I'm feeling way better than expected. Op was 930 and I ate a full dinner by 5 in Cabrini. I was nowhere near this well for my BA. Will post pics as I go along the recovery path but I'm so impressed.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us all, I'm planning on getting rihnoplasty also. So I'll be following your journey

Day 2-3 I hit peak swelling but it's been smooth sailing since!! Puffiness has gone down but I'm still sore. I get my bandages off on Monday so I'm all excited

Thanks Amy to share your story. I have seen Greensmith for a consulation the same day as you. I am pretty sure he will be my doctor but at the moment not sure how many weeks i would need out of work in order to allow for a public appearance. Will be following your journey for sure. Glad to see and hear that you are having a relatively smooth sailing.

All the best in your rhinoplasty surgery tomorrow! Do share your experience / journey with green Smith

Thanks Cosmetic,

Finally got released from hospital today, surgery was fine and Andrew was very supportive, had to stay two nights at the hospital since I wasn't feeling good, I had a graft taken out of my rib, and the operation took around 4 hours, but feeling fine now.

Is your nose still swelled up ?

Wow four hours? My primary rhino was close to four hours as well without rib graft.. it was a lil complicated than expected apparently..

I have questions on the rib graft if you don't mind me asking ?

yes it is, I was told it would take up to a year for the swell to go away

sure, go for it,

Did Dr.Green Smith just take cartlidge ?

Stupid question but id there know a big scar where he made in incision? Did you feel major pain post surgery?

Pre-op was there anything special you needed to do relating to rib graft?

Can you feel something missing?

I had rib grafting. I can't feel anything weird at all. They only take a few cm worth.

I guess so, that was the plan after all, I don't think he took anything else out, I'm gonna meet him next week, will ask to make sure!

the incision is about 3 cm long with 45 degrees angle, and I can clearly see the scar in the mirror even after 5 weeks, unlike the incision on my nose,

I have to say, the major pain in had post op was in my chest where the cartilage was taken out, the worst was when I had to sneeze, a very sharp pain that would go away in a few sec after, it still hurts a little, even now, but not as bad as a few weeks ago. And I definitely don't feel anything is missing, nothing unusual. There was a big swell where the incision was made the first two weeks, it is almost gone now.

I forgot to add, I didn't need to do anything special pre op related rib graft.

Hope it helps

Hi Amy,

Do you have any after photos? I'm considering Dr Andrew Greensmith as well.

Hi

Do you have any after photos? I would love to see them? Did you have much swelling after your cast came off?

[TheFox 101]

would love to see a follow up pic too - honestly Dr Greensmith is such a lovely man i can see why he has so many patients who love him.

I still really want to have my nose done
