Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I am having my primary ethnic rhinoplasty in...
I am having my primary ethnic rhinoplasty in London on Friday, I am so nervous and excited at the same time!!
I love the features that I was blessed with but I have always been self-conscious about by nose. The only reason I didn't have the procedure already was because I was scared of the backlash from friends and family of "not wanting to be black". I have decided to go ahead anyway as I realise that in this life you cannot please everyone and people will criticise you no matter what you do or don't do.
I had my final pre-op consulation yesterday and Dr Ion generated some 3D images to give me an idea of what I will look like post-op. I have started taking arnica and bromelain in preparation for surgery. I will update with photos soon.

24 hours post op
I can't believe that I actually went through with it! Dr Ion seemed very pleased with the results. I however had a little breakdown when I looked in the mirror and saw I looked like miss piggy! I have been assured by Dr Ion and others that this is merely a temporary thing and will resolve itself. I had a rib graft but I am in no pain at all just a little uncomfortable from being in bed all day. So sleepy though from the anaesthetic. Will update again when fully awake!
Four days post op
Today has been the hardest day for me as I have struggled to breath out of my left nostril so I am worried about how I will sleep tonight. I can't complain to much as I have not really had any pain (which is great considering the rib graft). Cast off is on Friday, cannot wait, though I am apprehensive about the removal of my internal splints...

I will update this once I have had the procedure and seen the results.
