My head is all over the place. I need to start...

My head is all over the place. I need to start sharing my story to express myself. Like so many, I've been wanting rhinoplasty since... as long as I can remember being self aware. I'm booked in now and it's all so surreal. I'm 27, female, and in Australia.
I always promised myself I would get it done before I got married so I could keep these beautiful wedding photos and have a picture of me kissing my husband without me wanting to cry because of how much I haaaaate my side profile. I'm marrying my dream man in May next year, so now is the perfect time to let myself heal first. My future husband is very supportive <3 he knows how much this means to me. I have broken down crying telling him how much it affects me before.
I believe I do have realistic expectations - I think there's no way they could make anything worse, anything they do will be an improvement. More specifically, though, what I am looking for is hump removal, tip reduction... ugh just start again really, I don't even know all the terms, I need literally everything done. It's nice to know the surgeon sees what I see too. Here's a short note from the surgeon:
"After reviewing your assessment information and photos, surgeon notes that you have an overly projected nose with a large hump along the bridge, as well as a bulbous and droopy tip which can be improved by an Open Rhinoplasty"
I have done a lot of research over many years and I've never been thrilled with the Australian doctors I've spoken to or met. Something just wasn't satisfying, especially the Canberra doctors (not for facial surgery for sure!). So I did more research and found some fantastic doctors in Thailand working at amazing facilities. The lower cost doesn't hurt either. And now I'm booked in for surgery overseas. It's terrifying, but it's finally happening.
I don't know whether to celebrate or vomit with stress.
Anyway, here comes some of the hardest parts.... I'm attaching a couple of photos. I was actually thinking of doing a vlog, but I suspect there will be a lot of crying.

Dear You, After reading your post, I am a bit worried! You sound much like me and my nose was pretty similar. I also desperately wanted my nose improved before an important event. I thought that whatever happens it can’t get any worse. I did my research and settled for a short consultation with quick morphs and trusted the doctor to deliver what he promised. Everything went straight to hell. Believe me, a bad nose CAN get worse! My nose collapsed during the surgery, leaving me bigger hump, overly narrowed upper nose, bulbous tip and several other problems including constant pain and lymphatic issues. My whole face changed and I can’t bear to look in the mirror. The important event has been cancelled, obviously... It sounds to me that you haven’t met your doctor or have morphs done? Tell me if I’m wrong? But please, don’t go under the knife without a proper consultation and 3D morphs! Your best shot for improved nose is the first one! Price shouldn’t matter. Maybe you have been discussing all the details of your operation carefully already and formed a proper trust between you and your surgeon and you both have exact image in your heads of your new nose. If not, please be really careful and do not settle for anything like ”we have to open it up and see”. All the best for you!

I've spoken to my chosen surgeon the same as I've spoken to local surgeons. I did not like ANY surgeons nearby. I have done my research and I am confident in my choice.

Awhh sad to hear your story:(( who was you surgeon?

I agree with the previous comments. Please don’t think that anything will be better than what you have. That was my mentality and I got botched. I highly suggest that you do your surgery locally so that you can follow up as you heal. What if you have issues, will you be able to fly to Thailand every time? I’m guessing the answer is no. Overall, doing this surgery is dangerous because many things can go wrong and if they do, you can’t sue or do anything else.

It's not just about costs. I don't like any of the surgeons within a 6 hour drive from home.

So I'm a few days post op now, and since hour one I have already been so happy with the changes. I chose my surgeon because of his experience in craniofacial structures, knowing my nose would need so much work they'd have to break my nasal bones.

Dr Seree has been amazing to work with, we definitely see eye to eye and had the same vision. His English is perfect and I'm so glad I chose him over the more "popular" Thai rhinoplasty surgeons.  I'm struggling a little with recovery just because of the lack of ability to breathe through my nose. I wake up with a side dry mouth and throat. Also, I just feel greacey and awful. Looking forward to seeing a hairdresser tomorrow to wash my hair. Other than that I'm in no pain and my bruising is really minimal. Check out the photos.

One week post op! I CAN FINALLY WASH MY FACE! Feeling so good, no more itchy tape on my face. I feel human again. Lots and lots of swelling, but I can already see great results shining through.

Thank you so much! I'm pretty thrilled with it, but I'm only one week post op, it's only going to get better! :D

The good thing is that you still look like yourself but you are just better now. Once the swelling goes down, I think you’ll be super happy.
