Hey! I just wanted to say that I've been reading your diary and it's been very inspiring with helping me research on my rhinoplasty which I'm having done in Seoul, South Korea in September!
I'm from London but of Thai/Portugese mixed origin and I'm going to Seoul since they specialise in Asian noses. I'm actually having the opposite done on my nose as you. My problems are that I've got bulbous tip due to a lot of soft tissue and wide bony bridge. The doctor is going to do a tip plasty using septal cartilage and tip debulking to make the tip smaller and higher He's also going to perform humpectomy and griding of the nasal bone to make the bony base narrow. I may also have 1mm silicone implant to cover and smooth any irregularity. The procedure isn't 100% confirmed until my consulation with the doctor.
I'm also thinking of doing a diary like yourself, as it really helps reassure people to know the truth of post rhinoplasty and all the ups and downs we may have to endure. Also, because I'm having a completely different operation to you it might help people who have a similar nose like me.
Oh by the way, I just bought arnica montana and arnica cream online - ready to prep for my trip to South Korea. I'm going to take the arnica pills 5 days before I go too, as you suggested and apply the cream as soon as the bandages come off. I also bought some surgical masks to wear in case I want to walk around after the surgery.
Thanks for giving the time to write your blog. I hope I'll find the same motivation to do the same lol, but I'll try!
