Rhinoplasty - Could Friends, Neighbours and Colleagues Get Up Your Nose?

 

Your decision to have rhinoplasty to improve the aesthetic appearance of your face is your private business or so you might think. In fact you might like the world and his wife to keep their nose out of your business when it comes to you having cosmetic surgery. Is it wise to try and keep it a secret or is it possible to weave a path where you manage the intrusive questions and benefit from some real and necessary support?

Picking Your Moment 

Vis a Vis the Involvement of Friends, Neighbours and Colleagues

  • You are well advised to manage your Manager and your personal PR in the work place in regard to your cosmetic surgery.

  • Think hard as to whether it is wise or possible to keep your rhinoplasty surgery a secret.

  • Think how you might weather the onslaught of a stream of unsolicited advice and opinions.

  • Maybe it would be be better to wring every last drop of kindness from a select few, use it wisely, and express your deep gratitude on recovery.

  • Timing of the release of information could greatly influence the outcome.
  • Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) and Your Employer 

    Is Your Nose Job Your Employers Business?

  • Is your surgery purely for health or cosmetic reasons?

  • Will you be entitled to sick leave to undergo this surgery?

  • Will you follow it up with a period of annual leave?

  • Maybe book a long spell of annual leave well in advance if you are not entitled to time off?

  • If you have further illness as a direct result of your rhinoplasty operation will you be entitled to sick leave?

  • If you need to wear glasses for your work will you be able to wear them when you return to work?

  • Your employer has given you a contract to work and that is his/her priority so you may need to think a little about how your time off impacts the business. Let your employer know that you are taking the business into consideration and in return ask for their discretion in not discussing your personal business with other staff even if you are not keeping it quiet. You want business as usual and no fuss unless you are 'all one big happy family'.
  • Note To Self

    Get HR to ask Adrian why if his surgery was medically necessary it was not paid for through our company health insurance scheme. A bit odd.

    "Adrian, quick outside for a cigarette."

    "I don't smoke."

    "You do now.
    C.J. is on your tail."

    Keep Your Rhinoplasty Surgery a Secret 

    In Ireland?

    Is this really a good idea? Not too long ago Irish girls, facing the fact that they were alone and pregnant, quietly disappeared off to a convent on the other side of the country in order to have their baby in secret. How awful that situation must have been. Are you sure you cannot cope with your surgery and just do what you want to do in an upfront way? Are you not made of strong stuff?

    You are bound to get found out. I know someone who was on top of the Empire State Building when he heard his name called out and was cornered by someone that had been trying for three weeks to arrange a meeting with him in Dublin.

    I remember the tale of two young girls who left their dull office lives behind and went abroad to work. All went well and on the third weekend in London they went to the cinema. As they waited for curtain up who should take the seats in front of them only their married former boss and his secretary.

    You will end up having to tell fib after fib about hotels, food and accommodation and your nose will start to grow like Pinocchio's. So think about the possibility of getting found out but how foolish you may feel if it all goes wrong and it is as obvious as the nose on your face that you were not on holiday on a sun kissed beach.

    "Ah Mary. The very one. You stayed in a super place in Cork last year. Myself and Pat are thinking .."

    "of going? Ugh, ugh the place I stayed in burned down shortly afterwards. Shame. Lovely people. A ..."

    Other Noses in Your Business 

    Focus on those that will help you if given a chance

    A few years ago I had a bad fall, broke my glasses and battered my face particularly around the eyes and nose. I looked much worse than I felt for a few weeks. Whenever I went into the local shops, where I am known, a silence fell upon the place where there was usually friendly chat and banter. Eventually I realised that they thought I was a battered wife. It gave me a glimpse of how isolated someone might feel in this situation and that they actually need a hug and not us to distance ourselves from them. You may get such a glimpse too.

    There is bound to be the odd fool who wants to tease you to death. Just give a steely look and peer wonderingly at their ears and say it is now possible to have them pinned back and that you hope you are not causing offence. Alternatively tell them you met someone with bags under the eyes who is having the operation to remove them at your clinic and that the bags were not quite as big as the ones now under your gaze.

    Some other puritan will want to discuss the pain, cost or vanity aspects. Be swift at changing the subject and shifting the focus back onto them. Best to avoid justifying your operation or the expense. Watch out for them prefacing sentences with "Don't you think?". "No pockets in a shroud' is a good line when discussing cost or be blunt and simply say "That's enough. You know you are getting up my nose."

    There are people that will be kind and helpful if given the chance. Focus on them and engage them in the practicalities of the event. One might give you a lift to hospital and another might pick you up and a third and fourth might do some much needed shopping, cleaning, cooking, and peeling of grapes. Let them help you and express your gratitude when you recover.

    When to Mention Your Rhinoplasty Procedure? 

    A week to a few days before

    It may be hard to predict what will happen or how people will behave in this situation. It could be tiresome if people want to talk about it a lot before the event and constantly ask you if you are sure or nervous or tell you about horror stories. One place I worked in people used to broadcast when they were having their driving test. There was much sending of good luck cards and a frenzied amount of interest and offers from people to accompany them on extra driving trips. Taking a driving test is nerve racking enough without that. When it came to my turn I simply put my dental appointment in the office diary for the driving test and the driving test in for the following week when I was actually going to the dentist. I was so nervous on the day I nearly ran someone over on the pre-test drive. I passed and was then able to inform people that I had done so. I was better off without the pressure of that extreme sort of interest.

    So I think you should 'keep your powder dry' till the last week and then casually mention it as if it is as routine as going to the dentist for a bridge. To a certain extent you influence how people behave towards you and they may well take their queue from you.

    So You Have Picked Your New Nose 

    Are you going to let me get up it or just the smoke?

    Yesterday I noticed a search query on my site which I found a bit shocking. Actually there were two in the same batch that shocked me. One was 'plastic surgery change face to some else'. Would someone really want to do that? What state have they got into that they are exploring the possibility? Finding it hard to mind my own business and not be shocked.

    The second was an enquiry from someone wanting to know how soon they could start smoking again after rhinoplasty. Were we meant to smoke in the sense of having smoke come out of our orifices? I don't think we were. How could we ever have been persuaded that it is a classy, stylish thing to do? Or was it just that as young people we sensed it was stupid but enjoyed the rebellion and ended up addicted? If you care about your looks to the point where you are having surgery then surely if you manage to stop in order to have the operation then don't start again. Your before and after noses were designed to transport fresh air to your body which has an effect on your mind. Let your brain have some oxygen. Yes, I started out so light hearted and now I've become that annoying friend, neighbour or colleague who could get up your nose.

    Nice lens. it brings up some valid points if one were pondering having rhinoplatic surgery.

    As for the question about smoking when we were younger, I think I'll go with your second suggestion: "Or was it just that as young people we sensed it was stupid but enjoyed the rebellion and ended up addicted?". Luckily only for a couple years.

    I'll have to read the pages on Lasik next, as I have been debating Lasik sugery.

      About CosmeticSurgeryIreland

      I research and write about cosmetic surgery in Ireland in order to provide sources of information for people thinking of having cosmetic or plastic surgery.

      I have no medical experience at all and like people to know that from the outset.

      What I am finding is that there is no shortage of highly qualified people but they seem hell bent on hiding their 'light under a bushel'. There is a shortage of good web pages with proper biographies and contact details.

      My site is at http://www.CosmeticSurgeryIreland.info
