24, Irish.. Flying to Belgium for Septorhinoplasty. - Belgium, BE

Just thought I would post up a picture of the result directly side by side

:)

Well, I think I'm just totally back to normal now. The healing time was amazingly quick! Most of the swelling and bruising was gone so much sooner than I expected. No one would of known I had surgery after about 10 days. (In fairness I did have a closed-Septorhinoplasty).. I will say that my only regret is actually just telling as many people as I did beforehand. I really didn’t want to face them because the change is actually just that subtle. I know I look pretty much the same to everyone else, definitely. But to me it's very different. Which is all I really wanted! I know people are pretending to notice a difference just to break the awkwardness.. Haha.. I think Dr. Oelbrandt kept the all character I had in my nose.. I still look like me.. Which is amazing. I really am sooo much happier with my side profile.. And I feel like I dont have to keep adding so much volume to my hair to try disguise it. The front looks pretty much the same. My side-profile was my only concern anyway. He made tip look slightly less bulbous from the front though. It's a very subtle, but very positive change. It’s only been a month so my tip is still a bit tender and the numb sensation is still there. Well, I really wish everyone a good luck. The whole ordeal wasn’t exactly the most pleasant experience (flying home & recovering) but it’s only really a couple of weeks and it was worth it. Try not to worry so much. It takes guts to do what you're doing and it can feel a little lonely. But be strong and try think positive! :)
