So, I finally built the courage to book a consult...

So, I finally built the courage to book a consult with Dr Sylaidis who is a plastic surgeon In Adelaide. I know I definitely want a Septoplasty procedure as I appear to have a deviated septum and feel like I can not breath from my left nostril. My nostrils are also noticeable uneven. I feel like they aren't that bad when I look in the mirror as it is a reversed image of myself, but when I take a photo that shows what others see me as I can notice the difference in size greatly. I also think one nostril is higher than the other. If this was the only thing about my nose that was fixed I believe I would feel so much more confident. However, I also have a hanging collumella that makes my nose longer. I hate having my picture taken and always have to be on a certain side. I also never like to smile showing my teeth in photos (even though I have had braces) as my nose looks so much bigger. I worry what I would be like if I was on my wedding day. Just want to be able to feel confident smiling in a photo and want a more symmetrical face!! I was teased for having a big nose when I was younger, and now that I am older I like to pretend like the problem doesn't exist until I see a bad photo. I never thought that having a procedure would be something I would ever actually do, but now that I feel like I can afford to financially, I have been thinking that this is something that I could possibly change. I often worry too much of what others may think. Especially because I have a big family. I don't think this is something I could do without a lot of support and am also concerned that I would regret the decision and don't like the result. Just not sure what to do???

Surgery in 8 days!!!!

So I ended up booking another consult with another surgeon, DR Kien Ha. He is an ENT & Facial Plastic Surgeon, as I will need a Septo-Rhinoplasty it seemed like the way to go. I particularly liked his website and it's very formative and has a lot of before and afters. What I liked about the pics were that they all looked natural. When meeting DR Ha he seemed a lot more friendlier than the previous doctor. I found him easy to talk to. He mentioned I may need a rib craft also but I hope he does not need to touch my ribs :/. I booked a date for surgery on the day. I do not have health insurance so am paying for it straight from my savings. The surgeons fee for me was 7 grand and approx. 5 grand for the Anaesthesia and hospital stay. My surgery is at 7am and may have to stay overnight will find out on the day. I will try and upload some before pics today.
