Hi Kittygirl8,
I did my rhinoplasty with Dr Kao on the 28th Nov~ Don't get worried over the current look right now okie? hahhaa.. to be honest with you, i was abit like "wht E Hell" at first but now after almost 3 wks, the nose bridge and wings has become smaller but not totally there yet. So be patient and wait okie? A Happier girl is the way to a healthier recovery~
i was at a very bad condition after my surgery compare to others, Dr Kao actually gave me more medi~ That was caused by my playfulness, i went to Luxy (clubbing) after my surgery, inhaled 2nd smoke everyday and drank Choya almost everyday. But after he nagged me like my dad, I was more careful and less playful~
I think it will take at leas like 2 mths for a totally de-swell~
Be patient....
Hey Jocundster,
Thanks for taking the time to advise me and you're so gungho! I am like still lying on the hospital bed like a dead meat while you have already gone out partying lol!

I will try to stay positive for now and it definitely helps so much after all your encouragement. I will check with Dr Kao tomorrow on what exactly he has given me for my nose cos mine looks very vertical straight without any gradiant which makes me freak out big time......
Hope you've since recovered well and not so playful anymore ah hehe

Hihi Kittygirl8,
You're welcome~ if you want to de-swell or reduce the bruises more after removing the cast, ask Dr Kao if he can make arrangement for the bio light thingy that will helps but that is on our own cost (TWD 200 per treatment/day) because this treatment need to be done at another hospital (san zhong hospital).
Bleeding is like soooo common after the surgery on the first and second day, i remember when i woke up, the blood was already dry and its kinda like a blood pancake on my face (ps: nurses in the hospital is really mean right?) I really appreciate the nurses in Singapore more now~
i went to Taipei alone and luckily there was a very kind lady that was staying in the same ward and she was taking very good care of me when i asked her. *Lucky Me~*
If you want i can send you my pictures, it is still swelling but it will go down in time, i think mine is more like the extreme case based on my bad records~ I read on website for surgery and they mentioned that most of the swelling will go down in 1 month time and the remaining will subsides until 1 year after the surgery. So don't worry~
the Website i read:
http://www.realself.com/question/after- ... lling-last
Hope the information helps~ Take care, go to the strawberry farm(chao mei yuen) or entertainment 100% live show (every tue, 1pm) if you're feeling bored okie? Both areas are in Neihu~ i went and it was fun~ Get a nice mask and walk around okie?
Cheers,
Jo
Thanks Jo, its so so nice of you for all the encouragement. I do feel slightly better now, especially after my consulation with Dr Kao just an hour ago. He showed me a picture of what my nose will look like after all the de-swelling cos honestly, it really look so bolbous now like a freak that I can't imagine how it actually should look like. He also commented I looked very different after my eyelid surgery and epi and looked kinda amused hehe.....I really wonder how my mum is gonna react when I knocked at her door when I'm back to SG. She will probably think I'm some foreigner and slam the door at me lol
Thanks for all the advise Jo, it's really very informative. Yes, I plan to do as much light therapy as possible before I return home next week, hopefully it will help to reduce it asap. Dr Kao also mentioned that 'Wu Kong Cao' really helps to de-swell alot alot, so Aneles and I are planning to get some before we return. I will get my mummy dearest to boil for me, not too sure how this kinda traddtional medicine is supposed to be brew. Is your de-swelling getting better now? Let me know if you would like to get any of those, I can bring back some for you.
Yeah, I do agree with your views about the nurse. They do respond whenever you press the bell, but they do not go outta the way to help lor, and extremely business like. There is one particular nurse who is extremely mean - she was like shouting over the intercom and demanded to know what I want when I press the bell for help to go to the toilet and she has the cheek to ask me can't i get up myself and i was thinking WTF, if I can, why do I still need to press the bell. A minute later, she walked in and demanded again why can't i get up myself - and immediately I feel like shouting back at her and said WTF again, what is your problem, but I stopped myself cos she is NOT worth it for me to get agitated about and I dont want to aggrevate my rib wound. I mean I really cant understand how someone can be so mean - especially a nurse at that.
YES, YES!! Can you please send me your pics via PM? I would love to see it. And you're so lucky to have kind soul to look after you while you were hospitalised. I was all alone in a room of 4 beds once Aneles and the 'chicken wing' auntie patient was discharged on my 2nd day....
Okay I will be a good girl and dutifully wear my mask and sunglasses too ... you take care too ok, no wonder chionging for now har hehe....
