So the past 5 years ive been looking into having an open rhinoplasty, i shopped around and was drawn in by transform as they have been around for a long time. I met with the consultant Sharon in march 2014 and was all ready to go ahead with the op when i lost my job, so i couldnt afford to do it. A year later Feb 2015 i returned more eager to get it done than before they welcomed me back and helped me work out a finance plan i met with the surgeon Dr Maurizio Persico for the second time and was happy with what he sugested to do with my nose. I booked in for the Op my date was april 10th at the Pines Hospital for an over night stay. I arrived at the hospital at 9:45am the staff were very welcoming and polite they made me feel at ease, by the time i got in my room it was 10:00am within a few minutes of being in there a nurse came with a gown, dressing gown and some bags to put over my feet (it was finally feeling real). About 10:15am another nurse came in to do my blood pressure, hight weight and some general health related questions then measured me for my stockings. Dr Persico also came in to see me and take some pictures and go over what he was going to do with my nose. 10:40am the anesthesia guy came to see me, shortly after another assisting nurse came in to tell me it was time to go down to theatre, it was about 10:55am at this time. In theatre, it was quite daunting as there was just a bed in the middle of the room and bright lights but they were all very concerned and made sure i wasnt panicing, they told me exactly what was going to happen and how i was going to feel. 1:20pm i woke from surgery pain free! in the recovery room with another nurse she kept me chatting until it was time to go back to my room. I got back to my room and they helped me on my bed i had water and some cookie biscuits to have a munch on as i hadnt eaten from 11:30pm the previous night, i watched a bit of TV and waited for some family to come and acompany me, in the mean time they brought me my dinner which was soup and crusty bread it was difficult to get it in to my mouth so i couldnt eat it all. The nurse popped in every half hour for about 2 hours after my Op to take my BP. (The meals were fantastic 5* food) The nurses on for the Night shift were extremely lovely and chatty which made me feel better, i didnt get much sleep that night due to the gauses up my nose which were uncomfortable also the Canulla kept pricking my hand. The following day i had the gauses removed which made my eyes water not most pleasant! i was ready to go home, the following week was slightly uncomfortable as there is a lot of pressure on the nose. Never the less saturday came and it was time to get the stitches out which was back at the clinic in manchester where i first went, the nurse yet again was very nice but couldnt get all the stitches out because i was in a lot of pain after having the cast off so i returned on the tuesday after. I was instantly impressed with my new nose! 3 weeks later and i am feeling back to my ussual self, just with a better nose! Still having slight difficulty with my breathing but they told me the recovery time can be from 6weeks to a year so ive still got a lot of healing to do. My over all experience with transform has been wonderful so far and i would reccomend them to anyone wanting surgery! I am so impressed with how good my nose turned out. I am returning to meet with Dr Persico on june 1st for my final check up and to get my before and after pictures i cannot wait.
