Used my face as a crumple zone!

[AndyWilliams]

Crikey. This scares the shi* out of me. Glad your ok now though.

Glad to hear you've recovered well and that looks like some good work by the medical staff there.

Oh, how was the bike

Were you wearing a helmet?

Unless it was full face then I can't see how a helmet would have changed the outcome (whether one was worn or not)

Ouch!!
I skipped the pics 'cause I'm a wuss

His upper cranium looks untouched. Perhaps a helmet saved it?

 

[jefmcg]

Wow. Glad you have recovered so well, and kept your spirits up when everything was such a painful mess.

Scar can be easily covered.

Glad to know and see that all turned out so well but that must have been a very uncomfortable time when going through those repairs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Correct I was indeed wearing a helmet, but it completely missed.
I definitely agree with all the comments here about the surgeons. I had a first-class service from start to finish, which isn't something you tend to hear often about the NHS.

I wonder if Brand has read this thread?

Hell of a way to get a nose job! glad you made a full recovery.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Lordy. The medics did a really neat job on your face.

Could have given him a better one though

Ouchy. My OH had a similar vrash, he had a Le Fort 3 fracture which sounds like what you had - his eye sockets, nose and top teeth were floating independantly of his skull!

Funnily enough his nose was already a bit bent, but it was streightened out a bit after the surgery.

Good to hear you've made a full recovery.

That's the one. Le Fort 1 and 2 here. I actually think I came out of it with a slightly straighter nose... And straighter teeth for that matter!

Ouch! It's about 4 years since OH did his. He gets a bit achy in his face in cold weather.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

That looks pretty horrendous. Glad you've recovered so well.

Oh my god......!

The last picture is horrendous...............!
