Rhinoplasty Review - Adelaide, Australia

Hey girls / guys! I am a 23 year old female living...
WORTH IT$5,000
Hey girls / guys! I am a 23 year old female living in Adelaide. Currently around 29 hours post rhinoplasty and feeling phenominal! I've decided to post a review because I had a great experience with my surgeon Dr Peter Sylaidis and am completely blown away by what i can see of the results! My rhinoplasty consisted of removal of my bump and a tip refinement. My nose is currently taped in a plaster cast, which you will see in the photos, with just the tip left exposed. From what i can see so far, it looks absolutely beautiful and has far exceeded my expectations of the procedure. I can't wait to get my cast off next week and will post more photos on the day! Going through the rhinoplasty was not overly painful in my experience, there was some shocking discomfort as i was waking up in recovery - but i was given immidiate pain relief by the nurse who was looking after me. Since leaving the day surgery about an hour and a half after my surgery I've had very little discomfort. For pain relief I've been taking panadol and nurofen every six hours and have found that to be more than adequate. Will post front view and profile photos on here next week as soon as my cast comes off!! Can't wait! :D

Woke up very swollen this morning, which was a bit of a shock! Took a panadol & a nurofen which brought the swelling right down with in a half hour. Feeling some discomfort from my nose today because the swelling has tightened my skin, it's put a bit of pressure on my healing nose. In the surgery - i did have my nose broken to move the 'walls' in - so thinking thats a big part of why it's so tender. Overall I'm still feeling pretty good - really looking forward to getting my cast off and seeing the whole thing :DD

Cannot wait to see your results! It's always great to see another Aussie girl on here!
How many surgeons did you have consultations with prior to your operation?
March 2, 2014
Hey - thanks so much! Tomorrow is the big day, actually get to see how this new schnozz looks :D I had 3 consultations in total before deciding on a surgeon, the info here on realself.com helped so much in scoping out the plastic surgeons here in SA
February 27, 2014
Hooray! I'm excited to see your results as well. Thanks so much for starting your story here on RealSelf.

Hey, what's up down under? I also had mine down three weeks ago in Atlanta, GA and currently in the recovery stage. I am very much pleased with the results and wish the same for you. You'll look even more gorgeous :)
March 3, 2014
Hey, hows it going? That's great! I'm so happy to hear you are pleased with your results. I just got my cast off today - very swollen, but i like what i see so far. Have you found your nose changed shape much after your first week? :)
March 3, 2014
Yes, I am loving the new shape so far in four weeks but still got a lot of swelling especially around the tip that feels numb. Be very careful when sleeping and I am sure you are taping it each night. Mine was a post touch up surgery after 2 years to remove scar tissues. But still I went through the entire process. We should meet on Skype and share our experience. I am so excited for you and liking your new look :) Do you have SKYPE?

One more thing to be sure putting ice bag around your nose and face especially under the eyes. This will reduce the swelling on the face. I am taping every night prior to bed and was told to do so for six months. This will ensure the new shape settles well with least amount of scar tissues underneath.

I cannot wait to see your post op photos - I am going to book a consultation with Peter Sylaidis in the next couple of weeks, after EXTENSIVE research on cosmetic surgeons in Adelaide. So far it looks really good!!! I am also looking to get a dorsal hump removal and tip reduction. I am so glad I came across your profile as there are not many Adelaide surgeons on here or the net.
Can't wait to see the results - looks promising!!! x

Cast came off today!!
Just got my cast off - and i absolutely loveeee my new nose!! It's still very swollen and Dr. Sylaidis said that I would see changes in the shape of the nose over the next couple of weeks / months as the swelling reduces. I can see that the tip and bridge are very swollen, but i am MEGA excited about the shape i can see underneath and how it has accentuated my eyes and lips :)
My next follow up appt is in 3 months time, and by then I should have a better idea of my end result. I will keep posting pics here on real self so you all can see the changes in shape as the swelling goes down.
any questions you have - feel free to leave me a comment

Wow your nose looks so good already, can't wait to see it a few weeks from now! You are so lucky that you live in Adelaide, I've heard a lot of good things about the plastic surgeons that do rhinoplasty there. I'm in Brisbane and hope I can get some good results too :)
March 3, 2014
Thank you, that's really nice of you! Are there many reviews here on realself.com for surgeons in Brizzy? I found reading other adelaide peoples reviews for rhino and seeing their results really helped me feel confidant in choosing my doctor. I hope you find someone really good, don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about rhinoplasty :) all the best

Your nose is very beautiful! Congrats. Can't wait until my revision on March 25.
March 4, 2014
Hey zooster! Thanks very much :) I just checked out your profile - I have to say I really like your nose the way it is now, to me it looks great. I can see the example pics of what your wanting your final result to be and i'm sure what your wanting will be achievable for you! :) Best of luck in your revision, how exciting for you!! Will stay tuned for your results :D
March 4, 2014
Thank you so very much. Nice of you to say that but my nose is horrible looking and very asymmetric and huge for my face. I hope and pray that I get great outcome this time around. Thanks again.
March 4, 2014
wow I got my surgery done using the same practice as you! Different surgeon with same practice! small world :-) I hope your swelling goes down quicker than mine so you can see your real nose :-)
March 4, 2014
Hey wow! Small world indeed! Thank you, I absolutely love your results - you look stunning. I can see your nose is much more refined now and really looks beautiful. Don't be disheartened, your only 1 month in, from what i can see of your pics i'd say the increase in physical activity has lead to a bit of swelling. Before i had surgery i was researching like a mad woman how people went in recovery - and what the swelling time line was like (like the one you've inclueded in your pics.) I know you'd know this, but the 1 month result is soo different to the way your nose will look and sit at 3 months, 6 months etc. Keep your head held high - you look beautiful and i'm sure that you will end up with the result that you desire.
i'll stay tuned on your progress too :) all the best hun
March 4, 2014
Thanks, yes you're right, I can't wait for 6 months to be up so I've got more of an idea as to what it will look like. I'm about to update now :-) I'm glad you're so happy with it all, it's amazing the change a nicer nose can make to your overall appearance and confidence hey
March 10, 2014
OMG another one and here in Adelaide, i have just posted on adastra90's wall and then saw your comment, i am pencilled in for 29th April, and am petrified....Love hearing success stories from people going to the same practice. Which surgeon did you have, i am seeing Dr Tim Edwards. Would love to see your pics if that's ok?
March 10, 2014
Wow! You're so lucky to be finding some adelaide people before your surgery! I only found one when I was searching before my surgery and it was real old and she obviously didn't use RS anymore as she never replied to me :-( I have a review so you are welcome to view my photos there :-)
March 12, 2014
Hi again, i did reply to your private message but am a bit comp. eliterate and not sure i replied back to you or Realself? Anyway thanks, you look amazing!! if my nose can look anything like yours i will be in heaven :) I am unable to find any reviews on my surgeon but once again this can be due to poor comp. skills? I am going for a second consult next week..to make sure we are both on the same page, will keep in touch.
March 4, 2014
Very beautiful nose! Congratulations :) but i think your nose wasnt that difficult to begin with, your tip, the most difficult part to fix, was already pretty okay!
