hi
it has been quite the week and a half so
today i'm going to be talking about a
complication i had and i'm going to be
talking about things that i did not
think about as being part of the healing
process i'm gonna show you what my nose
looks like now at the end of the video i
feel like maybe some people have bad
experiences but they don't tell their
audience because when you announce
you're getting your nose done like a lot
of people are gonna comment and be like
that's so stupid you're making a mistake
you're gonna ruin your face so then if
you have a complication or if something
bad happens and you show that
those negative people are gonna be like
i told you
so i feel like a lot of people probably
wouldn't talk about the negative things
but i'm going to talk about the negative
things because i don't give a [ __ ] i
like to be brutally honest and tell you
guys every single detail of every single
thing probably too much i have found
that it does help people today i'm going
to go into things a lot more than i've
ever seen other people talk about okay
let's just get right into it so
september 29th i got my rhinoplasty
steven took off he drove me to the
surgery center everything was set and
ready to go we got to the surgery center
he had to leave he wasn't allowed to
come in with me you go into a bed they
put an iv in your arm
put a gown on they put a head thing on
you the anesthesiologist comes over and
explains what's going to happen i have
had my appendix removed a diagnostic
laparoscopy for endometriosis my breast
augmentation i've never been really
affected by the anesthesia i would wake
up and feel totally fine like i would
just feel a little bit out of it and
they told me like after surgery one of
those times that there was a tube in my
throat and i was like no there wasn't i
didn't feel anything wrong with my
throat every other time i've had had
anesthesia they put like a mask over my
face and that knocks me out this time
they said we're just gonna put something
in your iv and you're gonna pass out
they rolled me into the room they were
all really nice we go in the last thing
i remember is them telling me they're
gonna transfer me to the operating table
so i wake up
and immediately i'm like i'm gonna throw
up
that's never happened to me from
anesthesia before so i was really not
expecting that she gave me a dissolvable
tablet i just kept saying it hurts it
hurts it hurts my nose
and so i think she gave me a little bit
more pain medicine and then i said i'm
still feeling really nauseous they gave
me another anti-nausea dissolvable
tablet they were going to call stephen
and tell him to come they call him and
he's like already on his way or almost
there already so they took me to the
bathroom and i was talking to the nurse
and i'm like this is so weird my body
must be just getting older i had such a
sore throat
from the tube it was terrible and i've
heard stories of people saying the worst
part is the feeling that you have in
your throat after and i was like what
because i've never had that but this
time it was terrible i was like my
throat hurts i feel nauseous what's
going on this is not how i remember
surgery going but i guess your body
changes or maybe they just use different
anesthesia i don't really know
so she puts me in a wheelchair she
wheels me out and steven's there and he
helps me into the car and we drive home
everything is well and good i have
a sticky layer
and then tape
and then a cast over my nose so this is
what i looked like coming home from
surgery everything was fine i was hungry
and i had to take my oxycodone for pain
i was told to eat so i had ramen without
the salt packet it was cut up so i
didn't have to slurp it you know i could
just put like a little bit of the
noodles into my mouth and that was fine
it was very bland which is what i wanted
so i was eating things like yogurt
berries if they were cut up i looked up
anti-inflammatory foods and i had a lot
of that everything's fine for the first
few days i'm taking my medicine it's
like manageable pain the only thing is
that i was nauseous a constant nausea
never went away you can't breathe
through your nose you know when you have
a sinus infection or something or you're
really congested and there's like
crusties in your nose like they're sharp
feeling and itchy like in your nose and
you just want to blow it out
you can't blow it out and that feeling
stays for like a week you can't move
your face in certain ways that move your
nose
after i eat i always like to clean my
teeth with my tongue you can't really do
that because it moves your nose so it's
just like you have to adjust the way you
talk you have to adjust the way you eat
you can't touch your face you have to
make sure no one around you touches your
face the dogs can't come near you it's
just a lot so
on day i think it was day three or four
i woke up
and
i was moving my mouth around i felt
something crusty from my nostril to my
mouth and i'm like was i drooling that
doesn't really make sense though because
it's like above my mouth what's going on
so every day i was taking photos of
myself just to track the progress i
noticed that there's like a bright
yellow
liquid dried on my face and i'm like
uh
what is that
oh my gosh
stephen
what is this yellow stuff
i start investigating i clean the crusty
and then i notice that there's bright
yellow liquid constantly dripping
from underneath my cast and i'm like um
this is not coming from
my nostrils it's not coming from inside
my body it's literally a liquid that's
like leaking out of my skin
what is that i have my mom my dad and
stephen all around me my brother's in
medical school so we call him we call my
surgeon my surgeon actually wasn't
available so there was another surgeon
at the same like office that was
available and he said that he's gonna
pass the message on to my surgeon and
let us know if we should come in the
surgeon called us back after he spoke to
my surgeon who did my surgery and he
said that
my surgeon said it was normal the whole
entire day
i am leaking this fluid from the tip of
my nose to the sides of my nose when i
left the hospital they put gauze
underneath my nose and then put a rolled
up mask to keep the gauze in place so i
had taken that off but now i had to have
that on all day to catch this liquid
that was falling the mask is like
covering your mouth so if you're trying
to eat the food gets on the mask you
don't want to have leftover food on the
mask that's right near your incision it
made things a lot more complicated and
now i had to sleep with this thing on or
else it was constantly constantly
dripping it was so annoying i could tell
that this was not
good for my skin you know when you sit
in a bathtub for a really long time and
your skin gets really soft it looked
like that my nostril but red and
inflamed and i was like it cannot be
good that my skin underneath the cast is
sitting in this liquid it felt stingy it
felt burny i'm like telling everybody i
don't think this is right i think that
something's wrong i think i should go to
either the surgeon's office or urgent
care and everyone was like no your
surgeon said it was fine your brother
said it was fine
it's fine today's probably your worst
day you're gonna wake up tomorrow you're
going to be so much less swollen the
dripping's going to stop everything's
going to be fine
so the next day
i wake up
it's worse now i have pain it looks
disgusting it looks like something's
wrong i actually call my surgeon's
office and a nurse picks up and i tell
her what's going on and she's like it's
normal but i'll talk to the doctor he'll
let you know if you should come in an
hour or two goes by she calls me back
she says the surgeon said it's probably
fine but he wants to see you today just
in case meanwhile it's been five days
now i'm still really nauseous
and another thing that i really wanted
to mention is that
i hadn't gone to the bathroom
since the day before my surgery so the
28th was the last time i went to the
bathroom
i usually go like
i'm sorry but two or three times a day i
hadn't gone in five days you can't
push
try to push right now
could you imagine like having a broken
nose and trying to put like it's it's
not going to be good we go to the doctor
immediately when he sees me he's like
this is not normal and i'm like i
[ __ ] knew it so he's like you are
having an allergic reaction to the tape
to the [ __ ] tape or the sticky stuff
under the layer of tape so i was
supposed to get my cast off the next day
on tuesday and that would have been six
days not seven days after my surgery so
i had my cast taken off five days after
my surgery and i was like
is anything gonna
not heal properly or go wrong because
you're taking this cast off early and
he's like no literally the only point of
the cast is to keep the swelling down
and so that everyone sees like to stay
away from your nose it's like a very
obvious thing and it is like a slight
layer of protection because the cast was
hard but he's like you're gonna be okay
i need to take this off of you so he
takes the cast off and this
is what my nose looked like
[Music]
i [ __ ] knew something was wrong
people advocate for yourselves okay i
knew something was wrong i literally had
blisters
blisters all over my nose and for two
more days after this it was constantly
dripping constantly my whole nose was
like a fountain of bright yellow liquid
so he said i'm gonna give you
antibiotics just in case it's an
infection and i'm gonna give you a
steroid cream so i have the steroid
cream i've been using it every single
day
so as i'm there i'm like um i also feel
nauseous still and it's been five days
and i haven't been able to go to the
bathroom and i think that's why and he
was like um actually the oxycodone makes
you nauseous and constipates you
that night i go home i'm taking my
antibiotic i put the steroid cream on my
face
and i'm like okay i literally am going
to throw up and when you throw up the
throw up comes out of your nose
partially so i'm like that cannot happen
i'm like i need to take something to
make me go to the bathroom because i can
feel the pressure of something in my
stomach it needs to come out or i'm
gonna throw up and it was like 12
o'clock at night steven was sleeping
downstairs with me so that i could sleep
sitting up on the couch and my parents
were upstairs and i was like mom
i have these laxatives
where in 15 minutes you have to go to
the bathroom so she gives that to me i
put it up there myself
and in 10 minutes i was like okay i
think i should go i was [ __ ] wrong
so like this much came out and then i
had to sit there and push i felt like i
was going to pass out i was nauseous i
was panicking i didn't know what it was
not a good experience a little bit came
out that night enough for me to be like
okay i relieved some pressure the next
morning i had like a tea a smooth moves
tea we asked him if i could take that
and he said yeah so i took that and
everything
came out nicely
sorry if this is tmi but you should know
if you're if you're interested in doing
this no one thinks about this stuff it's
dirty it's messy but it's real so now
the nausea starts to go away at this
point i'm taking an antibiotic a
probiotic i'm taking turmeric because
that's an anti-inflammatory i'm taking
fish oil because it's good for healing
i'm taking advil i stopped taking the
oxy and i bought arnicare arnica tablets
and i also was using the arnica like gel
on my face underneath my eyes and i'm
taking the steroid cream so now
it's like october i'm gonna show you
what my nose looks like now keep in mind
it's been like a week and a half and the
proper healing time is six months to a
year
and that means that you will see your
nose get smaller and smaller and smaller
because the swelling will keep going
down and down and down up to a year or
some people have said more than a year
so right now it doesn't look the way
it's going to look so this is her
the blisters have gone down a lot the
redness has gone down a lot i think that
some of the swelling has gone into my
face a little bit i noticed this
swelling a few days ago like being in
here i think it's kind of going down
i'm really happy with it so far i think
it looks really good
just a little before and after for you
guys
it looks so cute
doesn't it look cute and i can show you
too that this is my nose with filler my
nose was taller with filler because
you're adding volume this is like he
shaved the bump that i had on both sides
he broke my nose he put the bones closer
together he refined
the tip so he made the round part of my
nose thinner and then he also took this
part in like the part that kind of hung
down but he didn't take it in too much
where it looks weird or looks like
extremely different it looks so good i'm
so happy with it i am talking funny a
little bit because like you when you go
like this
like i'm i'm not doing it when you cup
your lips your nose goes down so like i
did that by accident and i was like
like you can feel it it doesn't feel
right i've been adjusting the way i've
been talking i've been adjusting the way
i've been eating like i said it's just a
big adjustment it's a lot to get used to
this is the ointment the stitches are
under my nose there's blood that stride
so you can see the incision where the
blood is like on the line of the
incision
but if you look there's an area where
there's no dried blood and you cannot
even see that there's like an incision
also i have not been drinking alcohol
have not had caffeine those things are
not good for healing i've been eating
strawberries mushrooms for breakfast
and then i'll have oatmeal like i've
been eating very clean i've been
drinking a [ __ ] ton of water honestly i
could have done what
celebrities do not that i'm a celebrity
and just not told you that i'm getting
my nose done or i could have waited
another week for all the evidence of
anything that went wrong to go away and
said like here's my notes before here's
it after this is my result like it was
so
painless and the recovery was like not
even a big deal i don't want to do that
i want to always be honest with you guys
like if i'm gonna
tell you i'm having surgery which i
always do or getting anything done
you're gonna get the whole story you
know um tic toc deleted my account and i
was very upset about it i had 50 000
followers and like a very very high
amount of views i had like nine million
views on one video
hundreds of thousands millions of views
on other videos and my account was
permanently deleted i've emailed
everyone under the sun like ten times
each dm'd everyone under the sun it's
not coming back so if you guys could
follow me on my new tick tock account i
really am genuinely upset that i put so
much time into that and they can just
take it away like literally

i was using a weapon apparently i love
