Rhinoplasty/ Septoplasty Sydney, AU - 6months post Op

ORIGINAL POST

I have been reading peoples posts here for a while...

WORTH IT$10,000
I have been reading peoples posts here for a while now. My story is the same as others. I have always hated my nose which I broke badly at six years old when I fell and slammed it on concrete.
I have been thinking about getting a Rhinoplasty done now for 6 years or more I am 23 now.
I have my surgery booked in for the 22 of July and I am super nervous about it all but excited at the same time. I am also getting Septoplasty done at the same time as the Rhinoplasty.
Ever since I broke my nose I have had problems with hay fever and snoring too which is quite embarrassing for me to deal with. I also feel like my nose is too big with the huge bump in the middle and too wide plus the tip is uneven and I feel like it doesn’t fit my face well.
I hope that I am making sense with what I’m trying to say, I suffered bullying in high school because of it like so many others.
I should also add im from Sydney Australia so hi to any fellow aussies :)

Wow. I think you're beautiful. Anyway, I, too, had septoplasty/rhinoplasty to correct a severely crooked nose cause by a baseball bat when I was 7. My first surgery was in 2002. After the surgery, my nose was perfectly straight and I could breathe through my nose for the first time since childhood. I was 32 when I had the surgery back in 2002. Soon after my first septo/rhino, my nose started to go crooked again. It literally seemed that each day I could see more and more asymmetry. Soon, my nose was almost as crooked as it was before surgery, although my breathing was still pretty good. Fast forward to today: I sit post-op one week since my revision rhinoplasty, done by the best and most expensive rhino doc in San Francisco. I know too well the bullying, the embarrassment, the lack of self esteem issues the one lives with when owning a tragically unbecoming nose. The time wasted staring at mirrors wondering what others saw. I wish you luck and an empathetic heart. I hope your results are every thing you hope. Make sure your doctor is the best and communicate exactly what you desire. Good luck.

Thankyou George :) everything you just wrote about living with the nose as it is and the bullying surrounding it I could of wrote myself. I am hoping everything will turn out well, I'm just extremely nervous about it all. I hope your recovery keeps going well from the revision sugery too.

Thanks Clair :) I'm hoping it will turn out good and the focuse will be on my eyes and it sorta all just works together with other areas on my face. I hope that makes sense, I will definitely post as many updates and pictures through the entire process as I can.
