You're so pretty. People can be so annoying with comments like that. I've had the same experience with angling myself to have my best side show. It became an unsconsious habit for me but i think it takes away my ability to just let loose in social situations. Best of luck in the surgery!

Thanks so much! Yeah it's so annoying having to constantly be aware of your nose and what angle to show yourself from. All the best for your surgery journey! :)

Love the look of the 'proposed' new nose. I saw that Dr Shahidi mentioned you could go abit curvy with the nose. Are you considering it or would you prefer the straighter look?
October 26, 2015
I'm not sure! In my head I think I'd like it a bit curvy but I've tried it on the app and I'm not sure - I think it's just cause I'm not very good at using the app so it doesn't look quite right haha. Do you think it would look better a little more curved? :)
October 26, 2015
It's honestly up to you. Get Dr Shahidi to draw up a curvy pic next time he sees you - that's what I did. Initially I wanted it curvy cause it looks smaller and cuter but Dr Shahidi said a straight nose would suit my face more. It's straight now but not fully straight its got a very slight curve to it I think and that's exactly what I wanted. Either way both will suit you for sure !!

Yeah your nose looks like the perfect balance! :) Good idea I will get him to do a curvy one next time and see what I think!

Initial Consultation Done! (w/ photos)
newnosenzOctober 22, 2015
Initial consult with Dr Shahidi went great. All his staff are so lovely and welcoming. I think the time with Dr Shahidi himself was shorter than I expected it to be, but this was fine as his nurse had already seen me beforehand and covered most of my questions. Dr Shahidi immediately could see that I had a deviated septum and after looking up my nose with a camera, he could see I also have enlarged turbinates, so these two things combined mean minimal airflow through my nose. He also pointed out that one side of my face is smaller/lower than the other, which I notice in straight-on photos (one eye slightly higher, one ear slightly higher, mouth higher on one side etc). This means that he will never be able to get my nose completely straight but I am not expecting perfection and he has reassured me that he is confident he can make a significant improvement, especially with the hump and drooping tip :) The total procedure would be "Septal Reconstruction Rhinoplasty Inferior Turbinectomy" and the quoted price is a little higher than my budget, but the earliest appt isn't until Feb next year so can save up between now and then. I have not booked a confirmed surgery date yet as I need to organise with my mum/family as I will have to bring someone to Sydney to look after me, I also have to arrange time off work and hopefully fit it into my uni holidays. But definitely looking at going through with the surgery next year sometime. I have uploaded some pics with this review.
If anyone has any questions feel free to contact me! Happy to share my experience and looking forward to being on this journey with others of you who are having/had the procedure :) Would love to know your opinions on the computer generated image too, he said it is a fairly straight nose that he has created on the computer, but it would be possible to have it slightly more curved if I wanted. What do you guys think?

Thanks for sharing. I am getting the same procedure done in Jan with Dr Shahidi (if I don't freak out and change my mind before then). I wanted it to slot in with uni break so I can take a few weeks to recover before getting back into it too. I have heard in summer it is harder to recover with swelling etc though. My deviation is obvious, and it has driven me crazy for so long how uneven it looks hanging to one side. I also have breathing problems, and am really hoping that my breathing improves with surgery. Im going for a straight nose as he said it would better suit my taller figure and face features, but I am interested to see both!

Thanks for commenting! Are you booked in for Jan? I can't wait to book, just tossing up between Feb or April to do it. I have to fit it into holidays too and still need to save a bit more before I can do it :( Were you happy with your computer generated image?

Hi love. Im booked in for the 11th Jan. Reading everyones stories is making me feel less worried. I love reading all positivity reviews. Im going for the curvy nose look.
Lately I've been obsessing over Jennifer hawks nose .. not sure why but i love her nose haha. Ive downloaded his app but can't seem to make the perfect nose or without making it look like a kid drawing lol. Have you tried his app?

I have tried the app and managed to get one or two good ones but it's a bit difficult for sure! Are you on instagram? I'm documenting my journey on there too @newnosenz

I just requested to follow you! Thats a great idea to share the journey! Im not even sure if ill be adding photos or creating posts about my recovery yet. Im a bit nervous to do that, but it seems more comforting to connect with others in the same situation so maybe ill have to reconsider!

I had my nose done in November 2015 with Dr Shahidi & it was the BEST decision i ever made ! You will only regret not doing it sooner :) Good luck xx

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about calling this week to make a consultation! I'm so nervous about it though! I'm hoping to get it done in October/November as I'm a bridesmaid in March next year and I must be in photos. I've wanted it done for years but I think this was the push I needed! Can anyone get back to me on how long it took them to get the consultation and surgery done? Is there a long waiting line?
Thank you! :)
Thank you! :)
