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.

Just paid!

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 would recommend Dr Noorman Van Der Dussen to anyone. He is an extremely caring and cautious surgeon who won't give you a nose that will fit someone else face; but a nose that is perfect for you. From start to beginning he made my rhinoplasty experience easy and smooth. I'm so thankful to have a skilled surgeon, and seeing his before and afters he is avery skilled surgeon. He does just what is necessary to make your face beautiful, not giving you 'this nose' or 'that nose'. The clinic was very professional, everyone spoke English and he consults in London which is great. Price was good compared to the UK and I couldn't recommend him more.
