WORTH IT$4,350
Since the age of 14 I always knew I wanted a rhinoplasty, I was always so uncomfortable with anyone sitting sideways of me, conscious of my large nose.
I am now twenty and decided its time to have a rhinoplasty, I know a lot about the procedure itself and what to expect of the final outcome as I work in a operating theatre.
My surgery is booked with Huw Williams in Spire Hospital on the 29th of July, he is a ENT surgeon who specialises in rhinoplasty. I am quite nervous as he has told me he would only take about 3mm off the very tip of my nose. I am concerned that wouldn't be enough. He is going to take the bump of my nose and turn up my nose slightly. I hope he is not too reserved, and I'm left with a big nose still after the surgery. I have quite big features anyway, and if my nose was too small it would not suit my face.
Any advise would be much appreciated! :)

I've got my MRSA screening tomorrow and payment of the procedure. It hasn't really sunk in until this morning when actually it really is not that far away!
I've started my annual leave now so its really all about the count down!!
I haven't been told of anything I need to buy for my recovery, on some of these post they say to get sprays and q tips?? Both my surgeon or the information packs they have given has not mentioned anything!?
Maybe ill be given them after surgery!? Anyone else had the same?
I shall be posting pictures tomorrow! :)

Following your post! My surgery is August 6th... I will be shortly behind you, but looking forward to watching you progress! I looked at some other reviews and pieced together a list of pre surgery goodies as listed on my review. I just googled different lists and looked at different blogs and got everything I found. Better to have too much than not enough. :) Best of luck!

Good luck on everything!! Very excited for you! I just posted a picture and detailed deacription of my supplies I have acquired thus far. I looked at tons of people's lists and created one that collectively included everything. It's very important to me that the bruising and swelling stay mellow that is why i bought so many tablets and creams to help that. I've heard it works wonders. Hope my list helps you a bit. Best of luck!!

Good luck with yours!!! :)

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! Make sure your surgeon knows all of your concerns before surgery. Even if you have to schedule another appointment between now and then you want to over communicate!
Here's a list of supplies that might help you prepare for recovery.
Please keep us posted as your big day gets closer!
