I rejoice in a softer face every day

"Rhinoplasty"

Even in elementary school, my classmates used to tease me about my large and crooked nose. They told me I looked like a witch and I could never deal with their taunts. Moreover, I have been working as a waitress in one of Prague's cafés since I was nineteen and my ugly nose bothered me a lot even when I was interacting with customers every day. I had to be constantly careful to face them rather than face them in profile when serving them - because back then my nose stood out even more. But I didn't want to spend my life worrying about my nose. On the contrary, I dreamed of one day having it altered by plastic surgery.

"At the MEDICOM Clinic, I was treated by a sympathetic plastic surgeon, Dr. Peter Ondrejka."

First, I had a consultation with him and we agreed on the date of the surgery. During the consultation we discussed together how I would like my nose to look after the surgery. The doctor also explained to me how the whole operation would work and what to expect during the healing period. Surprisingly, I was not afraid of the surgery at all. In fact, I couldn't wait for it! In retrospect, I don't understand why I worried for my nose for so long and didn't gather the courage to do something about it a long time ago.

"After the operation, I healed quickly and without any problems at all."

My nose didn't hurt, it hardly swelled at all and I only got two small bruises. Ironically, the only unpleasant detail was the tamponade being pulled out of my nose just before I was discharged from the clinic. Otherwise, I took everything surprisingly well.

"And how do I feel today?"

Absolutely divine! No, seriously, I'm really happy. I don't think anyone can imagine how relieving it is to not have to constantly worry about whether someone is looking at you just for your nose. Actually, now someone might be looking at me mainly because of my nose too, but this time they're definitely thinking how pretty my nose is.

The client underwent a complete rhinoplasty, a plastic surgery of the nose using a closed technique (vestibular approach). The nose was large with a noticeable bump. She underwent the procedure under general anesthesia, followed by a one-day hospitalization in the clinic. We then removed the tamponade from the client's nose and discharged her to home care. The client had to wear a plaster splint at home for 2 weeks. The first week permanently, day and night, the second week the splint was only needed at night. The client healed very quickly and did not complain of any pain.
