25 Year Old Planning Rhinoplasty... Poland?

ORIGINAL POST

After considering, thinking about and dreaming of...

After considering, thinking about and dreaming of it, my rhinoplasty is going to become a reality. Years of bullying destroyed my self confidence and although I've got some of it back, I never feel beautiful or even above average. I am 100% having rhinoplasty this year and am considering Huw Williams who I've read is a very good surgeon who will not sacrifice function for looks (I still want a fully functional snozz even if it's not 100% perfect). Basically I want an improved me.

My biggest fear is that after spending all the money, I still won't be happy with how I look as I think I have quite a large chin. Now I want to know whether I should get something done to my chin and if so, what? I could have had jaw surgery as a kid on the NHS but of course my mum scared me out of it saying I looked fine and that nothing needed doing. I'm not prepared to have braces again in order to get jaw surgery. However, if there is something that could be done at the same time as my nose reducing the need for further surgery down the line which would incur more hospital fees etc, I would like to know before having my nose done. I wouldn't want anything too extreme done to my chin as I still want to look like me. Would liposuction help at all? Could they just shave a teeny tiny bit of my jaw and underneath of my chin down? Does everyone agree that my chin is super ugly and that after my nose job I still won't be happy?

I've made some comparison pics on photoshop of what I think I could look like. Please people let me know your thoughts but please try not to be too harsh

Just had a look at your picture, Im not sure what to suggest for your chin as I honestly cant see what's wrong with it but that's your decision to make as I know my parents constantly said there was nothing wrong with my nose when I felt there was. I think Huw would do a great job on your nose if you discussed what you wanted with him and maybe showed him your photoshop picture :)

Thanks for commenting. Yeah I don't know I just think my chin is a bit long and also wide. However when I pull the skin with my hands it doesn't look so bad. It's quite square from the front. But perhaps when my nose is done my chin won't look all that bad any more? I just want to be 100% sure before I go through with anything since I think it will be harder to change anything with my chin once my nose is done. However, I am glad you can't see anything wrong with it. Thank you :).

What made you pic Dr Williams? From the photos your chin doesnt seem an issue... but maybe it just isnt the right angle.. Any more photos would help :)

I haven't 100% decided on Huw yet as I'm going to have a consultation with him first. But I liked previous work of his that I saw on Look Your Best forums. Glad you think my chin isn't a problem. Maybe I'm just focusing too much on the negatives. I just hope that I will feel a lot more confident once my nose is done as I really think I'm only going to go through all of this the once.

I don't think you should do something to your chin, but you can always ask your surgeon what (s)he thinks about it. They usually know what to do to make your face in balance.

Ok thank you for your comment. After reading that everyone already said don't do something with my chin I think it's probably something I will be able to live without changing. I'll just go for the nose :).

Thanks for sharing your journey. It sounds to me like you'll never be 100% happy, no matter what you decide. I know cause I'm exactly the same :-) people can't imagine what a profound effect bullying can have on a person. It's rooted so deep that you hardly realize it's there, yet it affects everything we ever do. I don't really see from the pics that your chin is too big, but then again, only you know how you feel about it. I can only say that I had rhinoplasty and genioplasty in one surgery. I'm happy with my chin now, but am still constantly asking myself if it should be bigger, longer, pointier etc. I can, however, say that I feel very glad that I did it. i'm a lot less self conscious about it and it feels kind of liberating for me. If you're not sure, i'd really wait with your chin until you see the result of your rhinoplasty. You can always go back for round two. In hindsight, i would probably do it in two surgeries. Don't underestimate the psychological effect. I could,'t identify with myself for months after the surgery cause so much changed at once. Feel free to PM me if you need a chat :-)

Thank you so much for replying. I think everyone's comments have been spot on regarding my chin. As in although I think it's too big, in reality, probably no one else is noticing or thinking about it. I'm never going to be perfect and I need to keep telling myself I don't want to change myself completely. Also I think if I lose some body fat it will slim down my jaw line a bit and I'll probably be a lot happier lol (I'm not overweight but I could stand to lose a few pounds). I'm glad you had good results with your combined surgery and are much happier! I can't wait to do my nose. I'm nervous but excited. I'll be sharing my journey all the way through. About to book my consultation...

Well to clarify, I'm happy with my chin but not with my nose. My surgery left me with a lot of issues that I didn't have before. I'm going to have to spend a lot of money to get this fixed by an expert.

Oh no! That is disappointing! What happened with it? I hope you can afford to get it fixed.

Well you can check out my posts and see for yourself :-) it's a big mess. I've been quoted prices fom 9000 to 20000 $ to have it improved. I'll have to stop eating and save up I guess. If you allow me to offer a bit of advice... Please, please make sure you and your doctor are 100% clear on what it is you want to achieve. Don't be ashamed to show 50 photoshopped pics of your ideal result. Front, side, oblique... Be completely informed of everything he is planning to do and read up about it. I allowed myself to be rushed and the "good girl" inside me placed all her trust blindly in her surgeon. This is something that's in the middle of your face. You can not [RS bleep] about it too much, believe me! I really want to spare anyone else from the hell I went through. X

Your after picture of your nose looks good! I think your chin looks good too especially with a new nose :)

Forgetting about the chin :)

BlixiMay 4, 2015
Thanks for the input of everyone so far. I decided to just do my nose. As some of you said if I am still unhappy there will still be time in the future. I shouldn't rush a decision when I'm not sure. Here are some badly photoshopped before and after pics of what I hope my nose will possibly look like!

I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Huw and he did a beautiful job! I wouldn't worry too much about your chin, I had the same thoughts but you've chosen a surgeon who will do well to give you a natural look and bring balance your features :)

I have a chin/ jaw whatever that is very similar to yours and surgery was suggested when I was younger and when I needed braces. Too much $$ now but anyway.. Maybe we think our Features seem too masculine for a girl(especially in today's superficial world). I think a smaller nose will be great on you softening up your look. Good luck to you!! Looking forward to seeing your results! Hope to be on my journey soon your giving me hope and motivation :)

Considering Poland now - Adam Kalecinski?

BlixiApril 26, 2016
Still haven't had rhinoplasty, mainly due to the cost and uncertainty surrounding which doctor to have. I've recently been reading some very good things about Adam Kalecinski in Europe Surgery, Poland. I've read that it's a fraction of the cost at £2000 and I've seen some really excellent reviews and before and after pictures. If I could have it done in Poland, I could have it done as soon as I get some time off work as I have the funds. I originally was thinking of Huw Williams (Cardiff) but I've only found a few reviews on him with actual pictures. If anyone has anything to add regarding Huw or Adam, please comment :). I took some new pictures of my nose, and did edited versions. Wouldn't mind some feedback on the changes I made, if it looks natural etc. When I book in for a consultation, these are the photos I will show to say what I want. I like how my nose looks from the front so I haven't made any changes in the images. I'm hopeful the front view wouldn't change too much when I have surgery?

I'm having rhinoplasty with Adam next month! I'm so excited:-) I've also read a lot of good reviews, but ofc some bad too. I think everyone get mixed reviews and not only good ones :-) I'm definitely looking forward to the surgery, but I'm also very nervous! It's a big thing to do, but I feel very confident about my choice:-) I'm sending you all the best wishes, and I hope that you figure things out about which surgeon and that stuff :-)

Hey, I'm booked in to have rhinoplasty with Adam in August! I'm nervous but the good reviews are easing my mind! Follow his Facebook page it's called Adam Kalecinski Poland. Its all patients who have had surgery with him or who are planning surgery and it has eased my mind so much, everyone is so nice and the stories seem so good! Also because it's Facebook you can tell that the pages aren't fake to 'promote' the clinic because people use their real fb pages (I however use a fake one haha from a small town) and you can post questions and people are so helpful at answering! also I follow a few girls on Instagram who have had surgery with Adam (mainly rhinoplasty_charlotte, and nataliewiggy89) and they have had great results! I'm very scared because I'll be going to Poland on my own but I know I want to have this done so I'm just crossing my fingers and praying it will all work out ☺️☺️ xx
