So, this is a procedure I have wanted since my early teens. I fractured my nose when i was around 10 years old when my brother head butted me in the face (accidental lol) however there was no blood/bruising etc so nothing was done. Started to get people telling me at high school "why is your nose crooked?" And it really threw me because i hadnt even noticed myself. As the years went on i really started to hate the way i looked so my mom took me to the hospital when i was roughly 15 and had an MRI and got completely checked over. They found a fracture however they wouldn't operate until i was over 18. I was so upset because as I was growing, so was my nose, and I noticed it more and more, and so did everyone else. In my last year of high school (when I was 16) I got picked on quite a lot and would refuse to go to school.
As I went to college and the people were so different, I grew to get on with life and not worry about my nose. Although, I am now a makeup artist and through college I had to have my makeup done by other students and they use to have to take close up pictures of me. Again, my hatred grew back and I was determined to go through with a 'nose job'.
I also started to hate more things about my nose, other than it veering to one side, i hated the small bumb on the bridge of my nose, how bulbous the tip was, i absolutely HATED my own side profile as it looked bigger than the other. I would always sit to the right of people because the thought of them looking at me from the left made me want to cry. I would never take a front face selfie, or a selfie from the left. I would get so mad at my friends if they took a picture of me off guard because I only knew of one angle I could look 'okay' in. Long story short, I got a good job since leaving college and saved up enough to go private, as the NHS here in the UK was struggling and I didn't want to risk it because it wouldn't be priority. So I looked around private hospitals and eventually chose The Hospital Group.
I will carry on with the process in my following updates :)
Here are some pictures of my nose before surgery.

This is when i first woke up from my surgery. I felt quite nauseous but no pain, i couldnt see much because the tape theyd used on my eyes in surgery had a very sticky adhesive so i used saline pads on my eyes a lot for the first few hours. The nurses at The Hospital Group in bromsgrove, which is the Dolan Park hospital (biggest in the UK i believe) were amazing. They always checked up on me and asked how i was, if i needed any painkillers, or i wanted tea/coffee and if i was ready to eat something. My own private room with walk in wardrobe and en-suite was phenomenal, tv and adjustable bed were so nice to have. Would definitely recommend this hosptial/company.

I stayed overnight in hospital which I'm glad because the anaesthetic made me very drowsy so nurses helped me to the bathroom and to change etc. My mom made a huge fuss lol and got me comfy in bed with plenty of water and snacks and all my medication. It felt very nice to be home. Although i couldn't sleep at all, literally all night in the hospital I would doze on and off every 10-15 minutes. I also suffered with a bit of a cough too, but the nurses said it was normal because of the anaesthetic. Feeling good day 1 post opp! :)

I can tell you're enjoying the "straightness" effect the splint has on your nose and overall face. You are quite lovely and have gorgeous eyes, and I truly hope you get the outcome you're hoping for. I've had two rhinos myself, so I know first hand what you've been through and what you're going through now. Remember, initially your nose will be quite swollen, only revealing its true shape over much time. I wish you the best.
