Hi All, after a very very long time, I am finally getting something done!
I am 21 years old, and for as long as I can remember, have had an insecurity with my nose. I do not think it is the worst nose in the world, but it definitely makes me very self-conscious, especially when having my pictures taken, or even when conversing with people.
I had my first consultation with Dr Shahidi on the 13th of August, and was very pleased. He was very soft spoken and provided me with honest information on my procedure. He was very honest in regards to what he will be doing to ensure that the final outcome is in proportion to the rest of my facial features, and will look very natural. He told me that I will essentially look like a better version of me, which is what I want. I also have a deviated septum which he identified when he had a look with the camera.
He let me know also that as I have thicker skin, my healing will be taking a little longer as I am more prone to swelling (if anyone has had rhinoplasty and has thicker skin, I would love to know about your experience and outcome!). He generated a computer image (this is only a guide as computer imaging does not show definition, and things such as tip narrowing can't be properly shown). I am feeling very confident as I have been following much of his work on Facebook and Instagram and everything he does looks amazing so far!
My operation is booked for the 28th of October, 2015 at North Shore Specialist Day Hospital! I will post some pictures hopefully along the way!
Feel free to ask any questions, and any words of advice from experience would be greatly appreciated!

Here is a picture I was given from Dr Shahidi in regards to what my results may look like! It will obviously not come up exactly the same as he mentioned my tip could not be properly altered on the computer as there is no definition in the images, but overall I'd be looking at a straighter, more narrow nose!

I'm 22 and my nose literally looks exactly like your pre-op. Like you I even get self conscious when talking to people but people around me have told me it's just my own insecurities in my head, it's hard to make a decision when your not 100% of the end result but your post op looks absolutely amazing!!

I would get so self conscious!! Everyone told me I was crazy when I told them I was having surgery. But it was what I always wanted to do! You need to do it for yourself and no one else! Good luck with your decision!

Anyone who has had Rhinoplasty with thicker skin?
MintChocChip10August 31, 2015
Hi All,
Would love to hear about anyone who has any sort of similar surgery with thicker skin! How did it go for you? How was your healing and do you have any tips for dealing with swelling, as I've been told I will possibly swell more due to my skin type.
I have been doing a lot of research and know that there are some limitations with thicker skin, i.e. you cannot achieve a very thin narrow bridge and tip (I am fine with it as my face at current is in proportion with my tip, so I wont have it refined too much as it will not suit my face) - But I would still love to hear some personal experiences :)

Your nose looks amazing! I think we are in the exact same boat. I am 1 week post op (septo/turbs/rhino) and had the cast removed yesterday. I also have thick skin and am wondering if there are any tips to make swelling around bridge and tip reduce faster? I also had kybella so I'm pretty puffy all over. Any tips would be helpful! I've tried Arnica, ice, elevation. Thanks

Hiya. Try taping your nose (where the swelling is) at bedtime. Also done do activities where you need to put your head really down.x.

Hi there! I didn't take anything just wore my plaster as much as possible and followed all my dr's advice. The doctor told me to avoid anything other than what they outlined in my regiments so not to mix different lotions and medicines
