I'm not encouraging you to have surgery, but those who have already decided to do it! I had rhinoplasty yesterday, and other than the pain, like drinking too much alcohol due to the anesthesia, it didn't
hurt at all. If I had to put my finger on it, my ears hurt a little, but it's really okay.
The thing I was most worried about was not being able to breathe if I put cotton in it, but maybe it's because I've had rhinitis since I was a child, so it doesn't feel particularly stuffy. I'm just breathing through my mouth.
I was scared because I saw a lot of posts saying that it was difficult to have cotton wool disorder, but
I'm not going to lie, I think I can wear cotton for a week, so
don't worry too much. I hope the surgery goes well soon! I got a lot of help here when writing this post.
