Hello your nose looks great, congratulations, do you know if your surgeon used a radix graft? I'm having surgery in few week so I'm debating if should have radix graft :)

Hi. I don't know what a radix graft is? I know he took cartilage from my scalp to sculpt the tip? I left all the decisions to my surgeon as he knew what it needed. I hope yours goes very well x

Went for my 2nd after operation check this week and it was great. Mr Banerjee is very happy with my nose . I feel wonderful and the swelling is just very slight now so healing very well too. I honestly can't get over what he's done . It really is remarkable.

Hi Helen, nose looks amazing. Did you see a difference in the swelling on your tip day 1 after splint was removed and then 7 weeks after? does it reduce quite a bit over that time? mine is really swollen and wondering how much it will go down and how quick!

Oh Helen you look stunning!
I had the same nose as you and I'm in hospital right now (Spire Hospital in Manchester Tim Woodford did mine done today).
If mine looks anything like yours I'll jumping for joy!
Congratulations xx

Helen, I have seen Dr Banerjee and have exactly the same nose as your 'before' nose! i.e. I have ptosis, diamond bridge etc. He has advised me that he will be doing the same as he did with yours. I am quite scared by the prospect of going under for approx. 3 hours as it does seem quite invasive and also am quite nervous by the thought of having grafts added to my nose. I have a 7 year old son so am quite nervous as well, but just like you I hate my beak so much haha! Did you feel that you had gone through such a big operation? Do the spreader grafts feel strange in your nose? Thanks, D x

Hi. Oh wow that's so great. I can honestly tell you I didn't feel as though I had been through anything. I woke up feeling great, no pain and no sickness . Nothing feels Wierd at all it just feels hard to touch but it's getting better each week. Mr Banerjee is a perfectionist and I just felt so trusting of him and his team. Just look forward to it. I can't tell you how fantastic I feel. Keep me posted will you pls? You in the best hands. It's not just surgery it's sculpting . Xx

Thank you so much Helen. Yes, as soon as I met him I instantly felt at ease and that he knew exactly what he was talking about. I will keep you posted, if I feel as brave as you I might add some photos!!! Thank you so much for your advice and for posting pics [RS bleep]

How brilliant. So pleased for you. Yes try to do a review. I didn't know whether to or not but I'm so glad I did. Would love to read your journey. When are you booked in for? Xx:)

Now you have a beautiful nose to match your beautiful face! I will be having rhinoplasty in Aug. 2016 and will be starting my own review soon. I have to tell you my nose looks almost exactly like yours did pre-surgery! I have looked at many reviews and never have I seen a nose with the SAME diamond bridge! I hope to have excellent results like you.
Yes it helps that your face was perfect except for imperfect nose, but it's astonishing what a difference it has made. You look absolutely beautiful. Perfection!
I had mine done in Nottingham UK over 40 years ago when a Plastic Surgeon could only be referred by a general practitioner. Few people requested such and the GP just had a list.
Mine was a poor job anyway, but when the cast was due off, the surgeon walked up to me and simply pulled it off from the bridge down, causing great pain.
Fast forward a year and my nose collapsed as he'd broken it into many pieces when removing the cast. Only found out as I saw my GP to ask what the black marks were all over my nose. Had to pay for it all to be redone by a different surgeon. It's OK, but no one would ever remark what a pretty nose I have, unlike yours.
I've only in recent years discovered the surgeon had a massive problem. He's dead now as one of the old school of plastic surgeons even back then.
We're so lucky to have a site such as this where I could have warned others.
