WORTH IT$5,559
I wonder if anyone can help me, I've been scouring the internet for most of my Sunday going from success stories to horrors..
I've hated my nose for about 10 years and recently with a shiny new job and stable income I can afford to look at surgery for my nose, I've arranged an appointment with Harley medical and Transform (who called me.. but I have read some bad reviews?)
If anyone from London who has recently undergone rhinoplasty has any guidance, tips or recommendations I'd be so grateful.

Cancelled appointments
I've actually chosen to cancel my appointments with above clinics due to warnings.. however I've seen prices for surgeons at 250 pounds for a consultation!? Is this normal?

Completely normal. It's the ones that offer free consultations you should stay clear from.

This is hard! I feel so incredibly sad at the realisation that maybe I can't afford this yet if I am to meet with approx. 3 doctors at 250 pounds a pop?

It will seriously b worth it even if it takes you a bit longer to save up. It is one of the most complicated cosmetic procedures and on the most important part of your body. It's worth getting right to save you spending money on another procedure a year down the line.

Thank you for this, I think I'm going to wait another 5/6 months to save, do you mind me asking who you went with?

I will private message you who I went with. It's with a company known for removing negative feedback off sites on the internet so pointless putting it up.

I think you're nose is well proportioned to your face. If you did want to go ahead nonetheless, I couldn't recommend Dr T Le, Baltimore, MD, highly enough. He did a revision for me- his attention to detail, professionalism and eye for proportion is second to none. I also went over to see him from London (I heard the UK doesn't do rhinoplasty well...)

We'd love an update! Here in the states 100-200 dollars isn't unusual for a consultation. Some will also meet with you at no charge. It really depends on the office.

London Rhinoplasty - only took 2 years to decide...
2 years on... back in 2014 I decided on using the money I had saved to buy a new home, which was the right decision at the time, however, I've had time to reflect; I've learnt to love my odd nose, the imperfections I see, avoiding those side profile snaps at the Christmas party - but I've made the decision to improve it.
I'm getting married in Spring 2017 and was planning on asking my wonderful photographer to avoid the side shots, instead I hope I'll feel as confident as I want to be.
I've included my side snapped nose with some editing on what I'd like - op is booked 21st December (no snowballs or gin & tonics for me over Christmas.)
I'm not afraid of telling anyone I'm having it done, I don't identify as vein but I'm keeping it quiet until it's over, every time someone asks why, or that they like my nose I feel conflicted with emotion, not my decision - like I'm giving up on a loyal, lovely boyfriend who's always been there for me, yet something isn't right, but that my family LOVE (apologies for the strange metaphors.) I don't want my mum to be sad I'm rejecting the nose she gave me, or my future husband to be disappointed in me; I can see why this site is so popular to confide in and feel supported.
This is for me. Good lord I hope it goes well, I'll keep ya'll updated.

You sound like me. It took me years to get the balls to do my rhino/septoplasty. Only my husband knew and I told my kids about a week before. My parents, sibling, boss, no one knew. In some ways it was the way for me because I didn't want anyone making me feel guilty or vain. Plus it really is no one else's business. I don't like sharing insecurities. But on the downside, I got some awkward stares going back to work. I still have not admitted to anyone having it done and no one has flat out asked me. I feel kinda guilty for not sharing with my mom. Hope it goes well!

Sounds so much like me too! I have three kids and a lovely husband, but I don't like my bulbous nose as it spreads when I smile (think Russ troll) so I actually don't smile head on in photos any more. I've got to an age now where I think life it too short to love with something that your unhappy with so I am booked in to have a tip plasty in April this year! I haven't told anyone yet, and feel ridiculously selfish spending so much on something that only i will benefit from!

Best of luck telling your other half, mine was sick with worry until my cast came off - he gets it now I think? I'm really pleased and much happier since, wishing you all the luck with your procedure!
