It's almost been a year!
Wow, I cannot believe in two weeks it will be exactly one year since I had my rhinoplasty surgery! I haven't updated much on here stating what has changed in my nose etc. and the reason for that is because I haven't been looking for them! The whole reason I went ahead with this surgery was so I could live my life not thinking about my nose and that's exactly what I'm doing, I haven't been looking in the mirror every day saying to myself 'how many millimetres has the tip of my nose gone down?' Instead I just glance in the mirror to check my makeup! This in itself is a huuuge deal for me because I spent so many years of my life looking in the mirror at my nose I barely even noticed the rest of my face! Haha
Since the surgery my family and friends cannot believe how much my confidence has shot up. I have been for interviews, done some modelling with fashion shows and photoshoots , and just two days ago got up on stage and talked in front of 500 people in a competition very important in Ireland! My family were amazed at the difference, there's absolutely no chance I would have done any of this had I not had the surgery!
I have had no problems with the functionality of my nose at all. The numbness in the tip seems to be gone (didn't notice it too much in the first place) and I can breathe properly just like before!
I have not had one negative reaction to it and all people have had to say is that I am very brave for going through with it and they can see how much of a weight it has lifted, my parents and boyfriend are thrilled. I went on about 4 months after surgery to get 4 teeth pulled out and 1 wisdom tooth and got my braces put back on to fix my teeth. Safe to say I have been through a lot this year but it's all for the better and my anxiety has definately lessened because any time I get really scared I just think that it always seems impossible until it's done, which is so true as cheesey as it sounds!
As always, I would recommend anyone thinking about this who have the finance to go ahead with it, don't let your nerves stop you from doing it and just think of the end result, and I would definately recommend this surgeon to go to for the procedure as I couldn't have asked for a nicer man & staff to go through the experience with! Although I haven't been updating much on this I have been regularly receiving and answering messages on my experience and will continue to do so, so if you have any concerns about your op or want to know the surgeon or even just want to chat about it then feel free to message me as I will be more than happy to help!

3 weeks after cast off-happy happy!
Sorry I havent been updating much, I have had two college courses on at the same time plus lots of exams (still going on :/ ).
Even so soon after the operation, I know this is the best thing I have ever done and dont regret a single bit of it, therefore I have marked a 'worth it' in my review. Everything I worried about so much has not happened, people have been so so good about it. I have had quite a few messaged from people saying they are from small towns too that they are afraid how people will react, I was the same as plastic surgery is unheard of where I live but honestly most people havent noticed! And anybody who has noticed had said 'theres something different, your skin is clearer, your eyes look different?' Its crazy! But they are right, I have noticed my eyes look more rounded and open and the skin right under my eyes looks brighter because there is no big shadows from the hump on my nose anymore.
I wasn't expecting my friends to understand (boys!) but all they have said is that they are so so happy for me, and that they cant believe how normal I look.
Everyone is saying they cant believe I just had surgery a few weeks ago, it looks like nothing had happend as there is no bruising at all and very little swelling in the tip. Its funny because I recently got my hair done with extensions and people keep saying "wow, its crazy how much extensions can change your whole look isnt it?!" Little do they know! Haha.. I have started applying for jobs again and I am so excited for how things are going, I had my angel cards read and the woman said I am going to be very successful in my career and now I have the confidence to believe that!
I have had a few nights out and I really enjoyed them for the first time in a long long time! There was no constant panick of someone making fun of me or starting at me etc. and on the first night 5 random guys came up and told me how beautiful I was, I really couldn't believe it!
I had my 3 week check up the other day and my surgeon is very happy with how things are going, he said he will see me sooner than 3 months after because my changes are happening so quickly :). I really cant thank him enough because he has literally changed my whole life! he took more pics and showed me my before pic and the picture he had just taken, I though it was the prediction image that he had shown me but it was me now! You realy dont know how much has changed in the nose till you see the pictures side by side, my parents and boyfriend couldn't believe the picture, my bf said he doesnt even remember it the way it was before now and had never noticed how different it was. He is really supportive and is very happy for me as he can see what a difference this has already made to my whole life.
I still cant believe that I have had it and this just feels like how it should have always been, Im so glad I got it done at this age as I can now enjoy my twenties with a massive weight off my shoulders! For anyone thinking about this a lot I would say go for it, if you have the financial means and is something you really really want but are too afraid of the actual surgery etc. then honestly the after effect will be well worth any pain!

First day after cast removal
Well today was a test for my new nose!..I got a call early morning to see if I could make it to the city for a big job interview, I told them I could because when I apply make up over the slight yellowness it doesnt look like I have only been for surgery last week so I was glad to be able to say yes and not have to decline because of bruising etc. the woman never even noticed one bit.
Out in the city where there are lots of people would have been a nightmare for me before just keeping my head down making sure nobody seen me and getting on with it, today I could walk around like normal with my head up and not hiding away and I really noticed something brilliant, before people would look at me and then maybe look twice or just plain state or say something, but today people just looked at me and smiled back (because I was going around smiling like an eejit!) and then carried on with their business, this is such a big thing for me because it made me feel finally so normal and like A massive weight has been lifted off me! Any time I caught a look of my side profile in a window or mirror it was the best thing ever because it looks how I should have always looked!
Here is a before and after picture, apologies they are not the greatest pictures. Its so hard to find a before one especially sideways so its lucky I took this the night before surgery, the second one was taken right after cast removal so is still swollen but so much better!
