WORTH IT$3,000
Hello, I realized I never really updated my results after my surgery. I've added a few photos from different occasions and makeup/hairstyles and I'm still happy with the results. Dr Charbel gave me a natural look, exactly what I asked for. I don't ever think about my nose anymore, whereas before the surgery I was always self conscious about not taking a side profile shot. So still happy :)

time to get out...
I am still considering this a vacation so I decided to go out. I didn't tape my nose, but it's 5am in God video and I'll tape it when I very back. The doc said about 3 weeks worth of nose taping! ... The tape had made the skin on my nose hurt when peeling off, so I'll try keep the tape on for two days or so at a time.

Looks great! Makes me want to get mine done but I am too scared of anesthesia and of the end result

I read your profile ... I don't think I'm brave enough to watch my nose getting worked on. I believe general anesthesia for me was a good choice. Will you be taking a local anesthetic? Good luck dear! .... Hope your results are great!

Day 7 - removal of eye and nose sutures.
Yesterday evening (day 7) I went in to get my sutures removed. I'm so glad I got the nose stuffing removed the day after surgery. I was so anxious about the removal of these stitches that I felt I was having severe anxiety all day in waiting. When I got to his office, the whole process of removing the sutures to cleanup was a piece of cake. In my mind I felt so silly for worrying. I have to say I am so pleased with the results. My nose is so natural looking which is the look I was going for. I wanted my rhinoplasty to give me softer looking features and that's exactly what the Doc delivered.
Note: I believe that doing the fresh juicing this whole time in recovery probably helped speed up my recovery. Dr. Medawar told me I was his first patient that had very little buildup of nose crust post surgery. I was breathing through my nose since day 2 of the post surgery. I do also believe he's a very skilled surgeon in that he must have done a great job with little damage to the surrounding areas. Having the Thrombocytopenia condition which means I have a tendency to bleed excessively and heal really slow shows the doctors great skills in being success with only a 70 thousand platelet count. I'll add photos of day 7, all no makeup ... and when I get a chance I'll put one up as my usual self all fixed up.

Your nose looks gorgeous!! I also have Thrombocytopenia and my platelets are about 80 thousand on a good day and just to have the surgeon approve I had to have them at 100 - so I had to have a platelet infusion before the operation, and treatment before that.

Thankyou lovely! .... yeah they do things a bit different overseas. I lived in the US many years and now in Australia. ... If I were to get my rhinoplasty there, they would of made me do all that you did to get the surgery approved. I really couldn't afford to go through that so I went this route, so glad I did though!

Yes I get alot of compliments about my age , I'd have to say the eyelid surgery probably did that. So happy I don't worry about how my eyes look in photos now :)
