I did both rhino and V-line at the same time. The first week was quite terrible as I've detailed in another post. Although my nose recovered with little effort, it's the V-line which makes the whole week extremely unbearable. Basically you'll be on liquid diet, or porridge diet at best. You can't wash your face and you can't even brush your teeth. Cannot use Listerine, so its just swishing with saline. I had severe breakout of my skin from not washing for a week, and suffered tooth decay from not cleaning my mouth. The leftover food in your mouth will decompose and your breath will smell so bad.

You will cough out blood and sneeze out blood. You can't laugh, so don't think about watching funny TV programs. Don't watch any shows with food in it, because you will start fantasizing about delicious SOLID food. Seriously, its terrible. I think if you do zygoma, you will not be able to bite or chew anything with the back of your teeth.

That's why I decided to do my zygoma about 6 months after rhino/V-line because I know it will be hell for me if I do all three at the same time.

Thank you ^^ I'll see if I can find your old post. I'm doing V-line and zygoma, but after reading some posts on here I have decided to do my nose afterwards. Is 1-2 months after facial contouring? I thought the combination of facial contouring and rhino was meant to be bad but from your post I guess the V line is worst. On blogs I have seen that people recover from rhino much faster too.

Has the swelling from V line or rhino settled yet? Hope you are good now

Hi all, I am thinking to do jaws too but it is a very big surgery... Anyone heard of Braun for long curve jaws surgery? Any comments?

Hey guys,
so I ended up getting my nose done in May and want to go back in September to do vline+eyes. I was originally going to do vline+cheekbones+nose in May but my timeline was too short. After reading about the bad side effects of cheekbone reduction, I decided to just get v-line and redo my eyes, since the dr I went to in NYC six years ago was really conservative.
Is anyone planning to go around September and want to hangout/recover together?

I think the hardest thing about nose recovery was being alone/bored..Psychologically, thought I expected terrible swelling, being alone and insecure was really difficult, so I'd like to be with peers this time around..

How do you find your result so far? Satisfied?

Which doctor-clinic did you choose for your rhino? Which others did you visit and why did you reject them? How was your experience? Could you give us some more details? Also, which clinincs do you consider for getting v-line?

Thank you!!!!!

The loneliness and boredom will get to you, just like it got to me. Aside from that one hour of post operative care at the clinic everyday, the other 23 hours was spent alone with nobody to talk to. It's mental torture.

I had both Rhino and V-line 2 weeks ago. The recovery of the rhino was fast and effortless, though my chin is still numb. The swelling from the double jaw has more or less subsided and looks decent, and my face is not quite as bloated as before. No more chipmunk cheeks, yay.

The first week after V-line was HELL. I seriously would not even wish this on my worst enemy. I can't open my mouth more than a finger's width, I can't even put porridge into my mouth without half of a spoonful spilling out. I was coughing out phlegm with blood, and every sneeze I took, my nose hurts and bits of blood would spurt from my nose. I can't wash my face, and because of that, my face broke out badly. I can't brush my teeth, only gargle with saline. I developed a toothache and decaying teeth as a result. My breath stinks so bad. I can't even talk properly because of the swelling.

Yes it's true, you have to breathe through your mouth for the first few days. Your mouth will be so dry and your lips will crack. So make sure you hydrate yourself well. Oh and one thing. If you intend to drink bottled water, make sure to stock up plenty of them before surgery, because they sure are heavy to bring home. Surely you don't want to carry that load when recovering.

The worst part was stitch removal. I dare say this is the absolutely worst part of my entire journey. The stitches in my mouth are of course dissolvable over time, but I opt to remove them manually because it's a nuisance to have them in my mouth. The removal process was so painful, I almost passed out, like literally black out. I had to gargle out blood after that.

As for the sagging, any good clinic will warn you beforehand of the possibility of sagging. Mine did, but I went ahead anyway. And luckily for me, there was no sagging. It's looking pretty good, just the numbness that's bothering me right now. So in conclusion, if you're considering V-line, know that the first week will be very tough.

Your words have been eye opening, I appreciate the honesty I really do.
I'm planning on having v line done myself, I'll be sure to prepare extra well for when the time comes I need to care for myself post surgery.
