So, I can't believe I'm writing a review. I've been reading other people's for over a year now and finally I'm getting this procedure done myself. I'm so excited and nervous, all at the same time.
I really hate my nose, it's such an obstruction to the rest of my features. I don't want a nose that makes me look like I'm from another race, I want a nose in line with my ethnicity one but one that suits my face better. My bridge is so low meaning that my nose is completely flat. Also, I have a lump in my nose that can be seen in some photos, I'll be having this removed.
I'd been looking at doctors in the States but then found dr Tahery who is local and has great experience with ethnic patients. I didn't expect to find this in the UK. My surgery is in 3 days. I'll be sure to share my experience and photos.

Good luck with the surgery! I'm in the early stages of finding a surgeon, and I'm looking at Dr Tahery. Is the price $6000 or £6000?

Good Luck, I hope that it goes well for you :-).. I'm current on my journey to getting the nose I want.. I look forward to see your new nose! X

Recovery
JustSeeingSeptember 22, 2016
From speaking to Dr Tahery who has been so great and supportive, and reading other people's reviews, I've made the decision not to take anything for recovery. It seems as though arnica doesn't really make a difference, in fact nothing does. If anyone has any further suggestions for my recovery next week, please do let me know!

See i am considering Dr Tahery but pricing wise I am very much put off. Also how long did you have to wait to be scheduled in for the surgery?
Please share your experience with him so far. I have contacted Dr Oelbrandt but he seems clueless and people have stated he is cheap but to conservative in his procedures

You think dr Tahery is expensive? I've researched this for years and id say this is a very good price. Too cheap would worry me to be honest.
So far he's been very calm confident and reassuring. He seems to have many years of experience. My aunt is a doctor, she asked me many things to check dr Tahery out and she said it seems I've made a good choice. I asked for an additional consultation before surgery and he was so happy to do it. He's been great to work with and I've spoken to many surgeons in the past.
His PA Lisa has helped me out endlessly, I cannot even tell you! I found it can be very stressful dealing with the support staff and I've found they often don't get back to you, or just seem like they don't care. However, with Lisa I've felt like every step of the way she's really cared about things working out well for me which is so rare. So I'd definitely recommend dr Tahery and his team in everything that's happened so far.
Let's see how the surgery goes and everything afterwards. I'll definitely update.

We'll I am a student and when I heard Dr Tahery price ranges from £4000-£6500 it is very expensive, in my perspective. Unfortunately I am not loaded. Dr Oelbrandt charges reasonably but he's a pain in the *ss. Contacted several others and will continue to search because I'm not planning to have my procedure till March 2017 as that is when I am off for 3 weeks.
I'm glad your experience has been great so far and I hope it continues that way. So glad your surgery went well aswell and no bruising so far which is brilliant! Must have been daunting and the day finally arrived.

Yes, I understand what it is to be a student, and surgery is never cheap. Just make sure you concentrate on getting an option that's right for you. You're making a permanent change to your face, it has to be right.
Thank you! I expect the bruising will come up over the next couple of days. My nose is constantly weeping and doesn't look very pretty with all the dried blood. Will just be great to see my results next week.

So glad someone else said this about Dr O... I feel the same! He's clueless, too conservative and tells you what you want to do instead of listening to what you actually want :/

Sorry I meant... * he tells you what he wants to do instead of listening to what you actually want!

Surgery day today - new nose coming up!
JustSeeingSeptember 23, 2016
So today is the big day. I've deliberated for 12 years on whether to get surgery or not. I thought maybe I just had to work on my self esteem, however, ive realised that surgery is definitely a good decision for me.
I'm not interested in looking like someone else or having something extreme. I just want refinements to my nose and I'm glad it's not been a rash decision. I've though long and hard and weighed everything up.
The real self has been great. I've been using it for over a year and now I'm here, on my big day. I'm very excited!
