So im 22 years and I have decided to have a nose job with my friend as she also wants to fix her nose up. the reason I am doing it because my nose is quite large for little face. It stands out so much and all my life it the only thing that i dont like. Not to metion i was teased all my life and still am! Even just the other week was i in a club and some girl said i had a really big nose. This is what i got called all the time. Being greek its only feature i have and i didnt want to change it for other people. As the years went by my confidence grew by and many people told me i was attractive. So after a while i relised i want to do this for myself and that i think i will get much more confident (stop hiding my face when im driving so people cant see the side of my face). Well ill keep people updated and let you know how my first consultation goes. im hoping its not expensive ..... eek

So my friend and i have decided to do together in November. I am still not sure , even tho some girl said i need surgery just last week (Bi*tch) anyway! really glad to hear from everyone! the only thing is i am worried i wont see what i look like because there is no computer... so im just being told what i look like

Hi! Hope your recovery has been going well. I'm wondering how it's all progressing now? Love to see some pics a few weeks post-op. Take care & congrats :)

hi how are you going? hopefully the swelling has gone down a lot by now. How are you adjusting to the change in your looks, it seems everyone goes through a phase of getting used to their new face, would love to hear more about your journey and experiences.

hi
newyear44 18 Nov 2012
do you have any more after photos? its hard to see with just one after. Has it changed much yet?
Youhaveabignose22 6 Nov 2012
yeah hey everyone keeps saying wait till the swelling goes down and i will see heaps of difference, i am thinking bout another surgery few years down the track. i was not in pain at alll, i took no pain killers just antibiotics for the throat. even the bruising did not hurt either...... well im playing the wating game! during recovery find something to keep you busy!! i begged my friends and boyfriend to come over all the time! lol
Adelaide22 6 Nov 2012
Hey thanks for putting the photos up, not many many people put up any photos of the bruising, its good to know what you can expect. From what I have read I think no one is initially happy with the result, but as the swelling goes down and they are fully recovered they love the results. From what I can see i think it looks really really good!, i think it suits you and it would be a mistake to go too small (you could never go back), thanks for your post can't wait to see your progress, sorry to hear your had a throat infection :(
Kitty1723 5 Nov 2012
yay you got it done! its still early days so the swelling with definitely go down. ya, i found recovery really boring too. just lounging around in the house for a week when i had mine done. i was so happy when i could go out again! i wanted my nose made smaller too and ive had mine worked on like 3 times and its still seems boulbous and big to me. i guess the surgeons can only do so much with what we have. keep us posted tho and take more pics as the weeks go by so we can see your progress!

Hey, Just a quick post to say hope your recovery is going well :)

Hey, I'm from Adelaide and planning on getting a nose job, glad to hear you're not in pain. Can't wait to see your pics, thanks for updating your posts, it's great to hear everyone's experiences.
Youhaveabignose22 27 Oct 2012

lunarynth 20 Oct 2012
Do you have a medical condition or anything like that because that price sounds too good to be true hahaha.
adelgirl 8 Oct 2012
good luck, I'm looking to do the same ASAP, hate my nose, hate side pictures although EVERYONE says I look fine/beautiful etc etc blah blah blah, i'm just not telling anyone anymore that I'm doing it Good luck, and I look forward to seeing your results. he is pretty cheap ??
Youhaveabignose22 27 Oct 2012

hitachi 10 Sep 2012

Cheers and good luck!
Youhaveabignose22 25 Sep 2012

Kitty1723 10 Sep 2012
im excited for you! ive had mine worked on a few times but my tip seems to keep dropping and changing over time so its kinda frustrating. shame on those people for bullying you for no reason. i used to get that in high school. people are so jealous. your gorgeous now and will be more so after!
Youhaveabignose22 25 Sep 2012
thanks so much i cant wait~
Charlie1989 6 Sep 2012
$2000 is so cheap! I hope he is a good surgeon and does a great job for you. Keep us posted about the result cause if its good news Ill book in to see him :).

P.s you're an 8 as you are, after your proceedure you'll be a 10!!!

Congrats on setting the date! You have such big, pretty blue eyes - reducing your nose will only make them pop more. :) I completely understand how you feel about wanting to hide your self from the side while driving. I do it all the time. :( Looking forward to your updates! Please be prepared with all the post-op materials and read up on tons of things to talk about with your PS. It's never to late to inquire before surgery.
Youhaveabignose22 25 Sep 2012
thanks!@

HI, im day 10 now and i must say that i think i spoke too soon. im really starting to like my nose! my swelling and bruising gets better every day. it really suits my face and looks very natural. Im going for a daily walk and ive noticed the swelling is reduced after walks. its worse in the mornings when i first wake up and improves throughout the day.
I had a rhinoplasty and genioplasty (chin advancement) done at the same time so im not sure how much a rhino would cost on its own. I'd say about $8000 in Adelaide. i think its better to spend more and get an amazing surgeon than spend less and be worried about the result. I went through a Craniomaxilofacial surgeon and he is almost over-qualified! LOL! But he's meant to be one of the best and so far im happy :) hope that helps.
kira_2345 2 Sep 2012

Youhaveabignose22 25 Sep 2012

nnnose773 7 Jan 2013
Hi! I have my first consult with Mark Moore on Feb 25th. How do you feel with your nose now? Did you get to see any of his prev nose jobs while you were at his office? Did you look at any other surgeons? Thanks
katie19873 1 Sep 2012
I had mine a month ago - it is still swollen I know but I feel that the length is not much different :( And that was my biggest issue. I have to massage my nose everyday to help my nose go down. After two weeks I went back to work, swelling went down more and more after that. after the cast came off i thought it looked good
