“Rhinoplasty - Antwerp (Belgium)”

Finally booked my Rhinoplastry 10yrs of wanting it! I have a hump on the bridge of my nose and i also think it looks long ive hated my nose every since i can remember and it didnt help when i was 16 and a boy said my nose makes me look like a rat!

i always try to hide my side profile and it holds me back a lot i always feel ugly even thou people say theres nothing wrong with it. As you only live once ive decided to take the plunge and have the hump taken away and my nose just shortened a tad (Do not want it to turn upwards)

I have decided to cancel my appointment with Elyzea as they only hace one surgeon Dr Van Canneyt and i cannot find any feed back about his work apart from a couple of bad stories.

I have booked a consultation with Dr B Oelbrandt also based in brussels and i have hered non stop good feedback about him!!! he comes to london every 3 weks to do the consultation and after op care think that says a ot about him! So hopefully once i have my consultation on 5th Feb then i can try to grt thr procedure booked for the end off march!

So excited now especially after reading how brillaint this surgeon is and how caring he is!

Just got home after my surgery yesterday morning. Surgery went well all the staff at the singleberg clinic were lovely and put me at ease.

I woke up and after a couple of hours sleep felt fine and got the train back to the hotel, My face started to swell quite quickly exspecially my top lip and i didnt have hardley any sleep due to breathing out of my mouth and it become quite sore.

My packing come out this morning so i felt much better but my face is quite swollen still (as you will see from the pics) ill update in a couple of days.

Its been 2 months since my surgery, the tip of my nose is still a little bit nump and has a weird sensation in it if i touch it, I love my side profile now but think the tip at the front still looks a bit big dont think it will go down anymore as i think all the swelling has gone now.
