I have always wanted get rid of big hump on my nose. I feel like I have two faces.
I growing up with judgmental people I was teased about it when I was younger. I don't mind look from the front but my profile is terrible. I want more feminine nose.
Dr Julian De Silva told me that I also have slightly deviated septum which is new to me :)
I think this is the hardest decision of my life because I hate hospitals and I have fear of needles.
I feel excited and anxious at the same time. I have spent many hours researching for the best doctor and I think I choose well.

OMG! I will be as excited to see them too! And I agree to NukaNu's comment, that it will add to your already beautiful face :) I will post my pre-op picture and will go "public" after I have agreed my operation date. I am thinking of setting it up for mid May. Very excited for you!

I've been researching the best nose surgeons in the UK, and narrowed it down to 2, Tim Woolford and Bassim Matti. I didn't come across Mr De Silva, where can I find his reviews /photos?
January 28, 2015
I know how to find him on the Internet with his name, but I'm specifically looking for his credentials re rhinoplasty, from what I've seen, he does general facial surgery, so that doesn't necessarily mean he specialises in rhinoplasty. Did you have yours done by him?

Hi, have you chosen your surgeon? I have decided to go with Dr De Silva. i was really struggling to find viable reviews with others...

Hi, I had a consultation with the same doctor and I think he will be my choice as well. My front and profile is quite similar to yours. Have you got an idea how your tip/front would look like after op? How did you go about it with doctor? As I feel that that it was left out and I need to go back to "meet minds"

Hi I don't want to change the tip of my nose I just want to get rid of the hump.
"How did you go about it with doctor? As I feel that that it was left out and I need to go back to "meet minds" - what do you mean?
February 11, 2015
I think when you reduce hump and narrow the bridge, the tip might also need reduction to keep proportion as it may stand out. my hump I think is a bit bigger than yours, so my projection has to be reduced and also my tip as well, just a tiny reduction. I do not want to change a lot on my front. By "meet minds" I meant - me and the surgeon should have an absolute clarity on to what final look from the front should be like, I know that not all is achievable, but at least attempt to close proximity. Will you have closed or open operation?
February 23, 2015
hiya, how did your consultation go? I have chosen the same doctor and my rhino planned for mid May. please post some pics from the front. will you be having open or closed rhinoplasty? will you have it under general or sedation?
February 25, 2015
Hi... my surgery will be under sedation and it will be open rhinoplasty. I will post some pics after the surgery. Have a good day :)

Just wanted to say hi..we both have rhino coming up! Mine is the 19th of march. I am also getting anxious! I have had a breast augmentation and believe me it is over so fast!! I think I'm dreading recovery more than anything. Im not the most patient person. Are you staying at the hospital overnight? Hope u have a good day
February 25, 2015
Hi
My surgery will be under sedation (twilight anesthesia) so I will be home on the same day of surgery. Fingers crossed for your surgery :) Have a good day!

One week to go
One week to go and I'm feeling very excited. The surgery will be under twilight anesthesia and it will last approx 3 hours. I choose twilight anesthesia because I don't like the idea that machine is breathing for me.
I need to be in the clinic at 7am, it will took me 2 hours to get there so surgery will be quite a good nap :)
Wish me luck :)

Hi
I'm kind a health nut, and yes I think my diet and suplements helped me recover faster
Take care :)
Thank you for your kind words :) I Have send 2 emails one from realself.com and one from webside http://www.***********.com but I had to chase them to get the answer. Then setting the meeting with Dr De Silva was very fast. I think they are very bussy. Try to call the clinic or send another email. Hope that helps :)
