I'm a an early-20s female and been wanting rhinoplasty for a while. This summer is perfect for me in timing, and so I have decided to finally go through with it.I'm adding some before photos, with my eyes missing, as I do want to keep my privacy, and l don't plan on telling many people that I've had a rhinoplasty operation.
My problem with my nose is that the tip is very large and bulbous, and I am quite a petite female. My other facial features are also not that big, so the nose really stands out, particularly when I smile. It really really annoys me, particularly in photos. All I wanted was a tip refinement to make it smaller. I also wanted my nose straightened as it has a slight slant, but actually, I had a consultation with Dr Noorman Van Der Dussen who noticed that my whole face is slightly slanted, only by 1/2%, and that if he straightened my nose, the rest of my face would be more noticeably asymmetrical as now there is something straight to compare it to. (very good point I thought), so I think I have decided to go with him and have my date booked for June the 18th!
I'm terrified of 'twilight' sedation, but oh well. Will try upload some more photos and will keep you guys updated. RealSelf has been so useful for me in making my decision, so I hope maybe this will help others.

Anyone have any recommendation for packing?

I'm thinking - gauze/baby wipes/U shaped cushion/easy clothes/arnica cream… can't think of many absolute necessities though. I'm going to be staying in a hotel so I really need to have my stuff ready before I leave as I don't think I will be leaving the hotel room.
Has anyone been out in public with their splint on before? Not sure if I would like everyone staring.

I have read of some ladies going out to the stores with their cast and bruises. I wasn't brave enough. Lol I'd rather be a hermit crab until my cast is off. I definitely couldn't be without vaseline and cutips to clean crusties.

Me too, I was thinking about travelling home but it would mean taking public transport. I don't think I can deal with everybody looking! Think I will just hole up in my hotel for a week.

On a scale of 1 to horrendous just how bad did you look? I really dont want my boyfriend to see me looking so bad and i know he will be intrusive and wanting to see me !

The tips I linked to above has a list of supplies for you. I was too chicken to wear my splint in public. :)

I am so excited, and actually not scared at all. I thought I would be more worried. I've wanted this for so long and so happy I plucked up the courage to do it. Going to order lots of books as I'm holed up in a hotel room for at least a week! Any recommendations?

I don't mean to worry you.....my surgery was 20 years ago, and they did things differently then. The doctor just took off a lot of tissue, but gave my nose no support, so it's collapsing, among other issues. Techniques are way better now. Just please be sure your doctor is very qualified and you like his before/afters! You don't want to go through it again.

I completely agree. I've accepted the fact that it could go all wrong but am hoping it doesn't! Wishing you a good recovery for your revision.

Thank you for paying it forward by starting your own story! That is an interesting point about the nose slant (I have that, too). I don't think anyone has a perfectly symmetrical face anyway.
Please do keep us posted! Here's a list of pre- and post-op tips for you.
