Oh so exciting! TODAY is my big day EEEEEEP! I have just started fasting and am catching the 10:30 train in to town to be at APSA for admission at 12o'clock. Did'nt sleep all that well last night and woke up really early. You look amazing! and i'm so glad you posted as you were one of the first people i saw on this site and also from Adelaide, and more importantly APSA. Figers crossed for me...see you on the other side :)

Hey! How are you feeling after your surgery? Thank you, I'm really glad if my review was helpful to you. I found 2 rhino reviews on here from Adelaide people when I was thinking about getting mine done - and I found it so helpful to read other people's experiences & see the results ! When I first made up my mind to get it done I was like 'Can you even get that in Adelaide?' Haha! Hope you're feeling great X I'll keep posted on your results :)

You nose looks AMAAAAAAAZING - one of the BEST I've seen on this site I think! I can't imagine how happy you must be :) Hope mine works out this well too!

You are a stunning girl! Background? Nose wasn't even bad before, but the little tweaks did wonders for your face as there is more harmony now. The faint bruises stuck around for a couple weeks on me. I'm 7 months post-op, and the swelling in my tip is JUST beginning to subside. It takes about 8 months for 80-90% of it to go away (or a little less if you have thin skin on the tip, unlike me).

You look amazing! I am sooo much more bruised & swollem than you, but I had more work since my nose was crooked

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I've done an update - It's been been a busy couple of months since my surgery!
So here's where I'm at if your curious..
It's been roughly 2 months now since I had my nose done and I couldn't be happier with the result! My nose is structurally and aesthetically perfect now, it looks very natural and compliments the rest of my face beautifully. I can feel that the tip of my nose is still swollen which may take a few more months to subside but over all its feeling great, i'm actually surprised at how quickly it's healed. I'll include a photo so you can see how it looks. As the swelling decreases I can see more and more definition in the tip of my nose, it's very exciting! If you live in Adelaide and are contemplating this procedure I do recommend a consultation with Dr Peter Sylaidis at APSA - he is extremely professional and has a very high standard of work.

Just got my cast off - and i absolutely loveeee my new nose!! It's still very swollen and Dr. Sylaidis said that I would see changes in the shape of the nose over the next couple of weeks / months as the swelling reduces. I can see that the tip and bridge are very swollen, but i am MEGA excited about the shape i can see underneath and how it has accentuated my eyes and lips :)

My next follow up appt is in 3 months time, and by then I should have a better idea of my end result. I will keep posting pics here on real self so you all can see the changes in shape as the swelling goes down.

any questions you have - feel free to leave me a comment

Wow your nose looks so good already, can't wait to see it a few weeks from now! You are so lucky that you live in Adelaide, I've heard a lot of good things about the plastic surgeons that do rhinoplasty there. I'm in Brisbane and hope I can get some good results too :)

Thank you, that's really nice of you! Are there many reviews here on realself.com for surgeons in Brizzy? I found reading other adelaide peoples reviews for rhino and seeing their results really helped me feel confidant in choosing my doctor. I hope you find someone really good, don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about rhinoplasty :) all the best

Hey zooster! Thanks very much :) I just checked out your profile - I have to say I really like your nose the way it is now, to me it looks great. I can see the example pics of what your wanting your final result to be and i'm sure what your wanting will be achievable for you! :) Best of luck in your revision, how exciting for you!! Will stay tuned for your results :D

Thank you so very much. Nice of you to say that but my nose is horrible looking and very asymmetric and huge for my face. I hope and pray that I get great outcome this time around. Thanks again.
March 4, 2014
wow I got my surgery done using the same practice as you! Different surgeon with same practice! small world :-) I hope your swelling goes down quicker than mine so you can see your real nose :-)

Hey wow! Small world indeed! Thank you, I absolutely love your results - you look stunning. I can see your nose is much more refined now and really looks beautiful. Don't be disheartened, your only 1 month in, from what i can see of your pics i'd say the increase in physical activity has lead to a bit of swelling. Before i had surgery i was researching like a mad woman how people went in recovery - and what the swelling time line was like (like the one you've inclueded in your pics.) I know you'd know this, but the 1 month result is soo different to the way your nose will look and sit at 3 months, 6 months etc. Keep your head held high - you look beautiful and i'm sure that you will end up with the result that you desire. i'll stay tuned on your progress too :) all the best hun
March 4, 2014
Thanks, yes you're right, I can't wait for 6 months to be up so I've got more of an idea as to what it will look like. I'm about to update now :-) I'm glad you're so happy with it all, it's amazing the change a nicer nose can make to your overall appearance and confidence hey
March 10, 2014
OMG another one and here in Adelaide, i have just posted on adastra90's wall and then saw your comment, i am pencilled in for 29th April, and am petrified....Love hearing success stories from people going to the same practice. Which surgeon did you have, i am seeing Dr Tim Edwards. Would love to see your pics if that's ok?
March 10, 2014
Wow! You're so lucky to be finding some adelaide people before your surgery! I only found one when I was searching before my surgery and it was real old and she obviously didn't use RS anymore as she never replied to me :-( I have a review so you are welcome to view my photos there :-)
March 12, 2014
Hi again, i did reply to your private message but am a bit comp. eliterate and not sure i replied back to you or Realself? Anyway thanks, you look amazing!! if my nose can look anything like yours i will be in heaven :) I am unable to find any reviews on my surgeon but once again this can be due to poor comp. skills? I am going for a second consult next week..to make sure we are both on the same page, will keep in touch.

Very beautiful nose! Congratulations :) but i think your nose wasnt that difficult to begin with, your tip, the most difficult part to fix, was already pretty okay!
