Me and my nose - Australia, AU

New Date

$6,500
I've booked a new date, 21st January... Now I've got time to prepare myself all over again and doubt my decision... I hope I'm making the right decision. I know once it's done, there's no going back, but I know I'm unhappy with how my nose looks at the moment so I can only try. If I'm still unhappy then there's no harm done, I just hope I'm not more unhappy. Judging by a lot of the results on here, I should be extremely happy!

Yes! I am happy you have a new date, I say just do it and try not to think about it. I went to consults for 7 months before I just called and scheduled a date bc I kept coming up with excuses (but really I was scared). In that 7 months I even tried to convince myself to just love and accept it! (If we are on this website we know were a little past that haha) but finally I just picked up the phone and made and date and I knew there was no going back. It was a great feeling. I think you definitely rock the nose you have, but this surgery is gonna make you smokin! Looking at ur pics you have a perfect nose to do it. Seems like it can't really go wrong! Excited for your journey and thank you for being with me on mine! :)
Thank you, that really helps, I hope it will come out ok, I'm a glass half empty kind of person when it comes to myself, but I have to do it and at least try. I've loved following your journey so far, I feel somewhat prepared for all the emotions that will hit me, I'm so glad you're feeling better about it now, had me worried for a bit there!
I think that pushing your surgery date later can only be a good thing - more time to prepare and to discuss things with your doctor. I shouldn't have booked mine so soon! I wish you the best of luck. And I agree that your doctor shouldn't shave from the bridge. It looks perfect in the photo where he just pushed it up a little. Good luck!!
Thank you, tomorrow is the day! Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly

I've just cancelled

Due to reasons for my BA surgery, I've postponed my surgery for a couple of months. It's a bugger cos I was really looking forward to having a new nose! Waaa

Thats too bad that you had to postpone. But it sounds like it's just a delay- you'll be back on track to the nose of your dreams in no time! :)
sorry, I seemed to have missed this comment. Back on track now, the timing is probably better too so it's all good. I hope you are going ok and still loving your new nose!

What happens when you catch a cold?

My kids have caught a cold. A real snotty cold. I'm taking truck loads of vitamin C, but what happens if I catch it? I presume you can't get rhinoplasty if you have a cold???

Yes definitely keep up with your Vitamin C! Not only is it good for immunity, it's also vital in collagen building which you'll need post-op for recovery. It's a water soluble vitamin, meaning that any excess will be excreted in your urine so there's no risk of taking too much. The only side effect of taking megadoses of vitamin C is that it may cause gas and diarrhea. I'm having surgery 4 days after you and I've been taking as much as my body will tolerate (more than 2,000mg) for the past week and a half. I'll continue to do so for 2 weeks post op too! Best of luck in the next few days...keep washing your hands and try your best not to touch your face, mouth and eyes. Maybe even pick up a doctor's mask to keep you from breathing in germs?
oh thanks for the info! I didn't know all that about vit C. I've been taking 2,000mg + a shite load of strawberries. It would seem that my body isn't coping too well with it. :-( I think I'll just push through it
Careful with the strawberries....my doc gave me a list of mostly fruits to avoid a week before surgery (berries being at the top). They contain salicylates, which can thin your blood similarly to aspirin. I was told to avoid food high in salicylates for 2 weeks before and after to help with bruising. I know, it's a lot of extra information, but just figured I throw it out there.
and thank you for doing so! I never knew that. I'd hate to jeopardise the surgery in any way so I guess I'll just stick with the vitamins. Shame cos the strawberries are sooooooooo good!
Hey girl. I'm not sure a cold will affect much... did you get a chance to talk to your doc? I developed a cold immediately after surgery, and my doc said it wouldn't affect healing- I'm just not sure about the surgery itself. Best to ask! BTW your "rare" photo looks a lot like my hook-nose photo haha. I feel your pain! Don't worry, your current nose won't be around long :) in the mean time, I hope you don't catch that cold!!!!
I've emailed his assistant but I haven't got a reply yet unfortunately. Oh I can only dream of having a result as perfect as yours!!! I'm taking all the necessary precautions to not catch this cold! Fingers crossed!
apparently anything that restricts my breathing ie runny/blocked nose, chesty cough etc would mean that I have to postpone surgery :-(
Definitely check with your doc on the cold! Also, your last picture reminded me of someone I went to college with. She was absolutely beautiful but had a noticeable hump. She wore it well and it never seemed to let her down. You are still beautiful and the procedure is only going to make you even more gorgeous! Enjoy your last week with your nose. :)
aww thank you, that's so nice of you to say so. I'm glad for friend that her nose never affected her. I wish I was the same. I'm not sure if I've ever felt beautiful, it's always been, it'd be better if I had a nice nose! Soon it will be (sooooo hoping it will be!) I spoke to the doc re the cold, I'd have to postpone if I were to catch it... only a couple more days now so hopefully I'm in the clear! How are you going these days?
