Ethnic Rhinoplasty on Wide Flat Nose - Cadogan, UK

I am having a rhinoplasty because I have a wide and flat nose. It looks bad in person and just awful in photographs; it looks like the last 4 inches of a double barrelled shot gun muzzle. It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the worst looking noses in the world.

That nose is a real disadvantage socially, romatically and at work. I am hoping that rhinoplasty will make my nose look a lot better.

I have told only one friend about the procedure and a few family members. Only the friend is against it as she thinks I look great. Whilst I appreciate her views, I discount them because she has always carried a torch for me. Also, her looks are perfect, so she has no idea what it is like to be so facially flawed.

My children don't want me to change, but that is only to be expected. I am sure that they will subconsciously appreciate a more conventional looking dad attending their school to pick them up. also, the kids have great facial features, so I do not want them being teased about my looks.

Post operation, it will be obvious that I have had something done to my nose. I am not sure how I will react to questions/comments about it from others. Knowing me I am likely just to be open about it. However, to people that have been negative about my nose in the past (former girlfriends, a former boss, some 'friends') I will probably politely invite them to mind their own business.

I am excited about the operation because I see it as a chance for improvement and change; standing still is not something that I am comfortable with.

I felt the same way about my nose before rhinoplasty: that is surely was the worst one in the whole wide world. It probably wasn't, but I sure do enjoy my improvements! I hope you like yours as well. It sounds like you're very practical about the whole thing. Keep lots of cool beverages and throat lozenges close by because you'll have a dry mouth from breathing through it for a few days. If you have a humidifier, dust that off as well.

Please keep us posted on how it goes. And we'd love to see that shotgun nose of yours if you're up for putting up some pictures. :)

Transformation Day

The day has come. Surgery is in 3 hours. I am actually a little scared and nervous. I keep imagining that the anaesthetic will kick and then I will wake up in hell...
I am also emotional about changing a part of me that I have had for years.

Here are some photos of me just before the operation. You can imagine bullets coming out of that nose.
The fear has gone now. I can't wait to go under the anaesthetic.
There are all types of model looking like patients here, very hard to imagine why they need any type of cosmetic surgery.
