Final thoughts after giving it time

I am very sorry for my previous posts, someone made a comment that my review isn't really a review but more like a need for me to get counselling and to be honest, I agree with them, I have been diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder and depression which means that I was an unhealthy candidate for rhinoplasty. I am also quite young and I should have waited longer but I am in a better place now and I feel like i can think more clearly. This experience has allowed me to mature. I looked at my old pictures on my usb and honestly there has been a great difference - my nose before was fat and bulbous and now it's more defined and smaller from the front, my tip has dropped more than predicted over time but this is due to my own healing pattern and build up of scar tissue which I will go in for a revision for. Dr noorman van der dusssen has supported me throughout this whole time and I've seen him several times after my rhinoplasty, he is an extremely honest surgeon and only wants the best for his patients - he always reassured me that if there is a part that I don't like then he can fix it and told me not to worry. The reason why I picked him to be my surgeon is because of his honesty which is rare these days, and if there is improvement to be made, he will say it for himself. A lot of you saw my rhinoplasty photographs and said that it is a good rhinoplasty however I only focused on the bad parts and you have to remember that no rhinoplasty is perfect however I am happy that Dr nvdd made a conservative change rather than a drastic one, his purpose is to still make it yours but an improved version. If you would like to see pictures, feel free to message me however I may upload some soon. Goodluck on your journeys.

I wouldn't say it was irrelevant. We read,we absorb and we learn. People have plastic surgery for all kinds of reasons. Some people have very deep issues which unfortunately can NEVER be resolved through having something changed. I had issues with my nose for many years and have had two unsatisfactory operations on it..One by a very prominent UK surgeon,non other than Jan Stanek (google him) back in 1987 and he didn't resolve the bent nose(noses are very difficult and once you have broken it and pushed it out of place,it is very difficult to get the same nose back..I then had another nose op in 1990 and still it was bent. They just chisel more off and I would never want another op with the NHS! I would still like my nose altered,but how much more could one take off before it collapses? Look at the late M Jackson! Before he passed away,he actually was having his nose re built because of all the previous plastic surgeries to make it smaller! My nose is really only slightly bent,but not a big nose..I can see it,but one would have to look(if they are in to studying noses that is..I would like to think they look into my beautiful brown eyes :-)..Surgeons see it,because I ask them to,so they have looked and said,yes it is bent,yes we could fix it. But could they? I am going to leave my nose alone and learn to live with it and my god I have in the passed suffered severe depression because of it..Where I actually wore a sticking plaster over it to cover it for two whole years..Yes,two years!! OMG!! Looking back. In fact it was bringing more attention to by nose, but my irrational thoughts thought otherwise and at least people were NOT seeing a bent nose! A pause for though 'self esteem/mental issues are medical,so why is this thread not irrelevant. I don't agree with you,sorry.

I've just been honest about my feelings throughout my journey, I'm severely depressed about the result and i'm now trying to do something about it by saving up money

I found slt07004's comment offensive and it made me feel crap hence the blunt reply to whoever that person is.

If you want to warn others about him I think you should show the before and after pictures of your nose job... or people might still want to go to him or something. Although I must say I thought your nose looked good when you did post the after pictures, but you have to be patient with the final nosejob result. My sister didn´t see her final result until 1-2 years after her surgery. I am thinking of choosing Dr Charnel Medawar since he gives arabic girls the western nose.

I'm so sorry you experiencef this. I didn't see the picture. I've read final results could be a year and even 3 years post op. Maybe knowing you are still healing you will feel better.

My 1st was with Dr Dombard in Belgium as well.
I love your honesty. I know what you're going through must be extremely hard - I also battle with depression and have a small understanding of how painful body dysmorphia can be. But you've been diagnosed which is the first step forward, you are now equipped with the knowledge that so much of what you feel about yourself is not true - it's a warped perception based on what's going on in your mind. I'm really glad that you're in a much better place, I wish you the best of luck for the future. Stay strong!

I am considering this doctor and it would help me out a lot if you could send me before and after pics.
