So my surgery is in exactly ten days. I am more nervous than ever! It is constantly on my mind and just want it over and done with. Especially scared for the Anesthetic- as i have never been put to sleep before or had any operations. (Will upload some before pictures nearer the time of the surgery.)
I am having the procedure done at The Harley Medical Group in London with Dr Naveen Cavale. I was a little concered at first as i could not find any reviews for rhinoplasty- although every single review for his other cosmetic procedures were five star which calmed me abit. I explained to him that i only wanted him to remove the bump on my nose and not to touch anything else. I was also told that he will have to break it!... This worries me alot ! my poor nose!!! :(
As far as support goes its been good. Of course like most getting this procedure i have gotten the 'your nose is fine!' talk but ive wanted this for a long while and they do not understand how this affects my self confidence. My boyfriend was a little annoyed at first but has no choice other than to be supportive now as its happening very soon! My parents have always had to listen to my complaining about my nose so they're probably relieved that im doing something about it! It's strange it feels like it isnt going to happen as i havent spoke to people much about it despite it being on my mind 24/7! I'm an excited, terrified and, emotional wreck at the moment ! Lets hope my anxiety improves over the next week.... !

So here is my nose. An obvious bump that really bothers me. (Excuse the pictures- Just got out the shower!) haha.
Unfortunately i inherited my dads nose!
Like I said- I have only requested to get the hump removed- nothing else!!!
By the way- I am 19 years old (20 in a month) and have wanted this done since I was about 14 !

You will be fine! You're going to look back and think man if I just relaxed more! I just had mine done on Tuesday and it was nothing like I thought it would be very little pain just a little sore and uncomfortable. I can already tell the difference in the size of my nose. Just remember to take deep breaths it will literally be over before you know it. Trust me don't stress about it. :) Can't wait to read your updates/see your pictures!

Thanks so much for your support! Glad it all went well for you :) I'll keep you posted.

Hey Lady!
I will be following-- mine is scheduled for the 1st of July... very nervous as well. Do you know if your septum is deviated? Do you have any breathing problems? If he is going to break it he'll probably be straightening it out too. Best of luck to you! I am nervous too as I've never been under before. Love and Light~

Nope its not deviated that i know of ! I think its just an unfortunate bump that I have inherited. Best of luck to you too. I'll update you on how it goes and hopefully you wont be so anxious by your surgery date!

So glad you started your story on RealSelf. I inherited my dad's nose as well. I had to get that taken care of in my 20s. Love my dad but his nose didn't look good on my face. Here's a list of pre- and post op tips for you. Please keep us updated!

It's strange because the closer my surgery gets the less nervous I am and the more excited I get! I've wanted this for so long. I'm just a little concerned about the anesthetic and the nausea, i hate being sick and a few people have claimed that they have thrown up after their surgery. If you was/wasnt sick after your surgery could you let me know!
My next update i will be in my hospital bed probably very disorientated and uncomfortable!

Hey there! This is literally my first comment/post ever on here haha. I've used this site for a long time to just read reviews. But anyway, I had my rhinoplasty a little over a week ago and got the cast removed yesterday! I couldn't be happier with the results. Overall, the entire process hasn't been bad AT ALL. Very minimal pain from the surgery itself, the recovery, and even the cast removal. My only problem has been nausea. I have a weak stomach, so I was a bit worried about this. I didn't get sick until three days after the surgery. I think the pain meds finally started to mess with my tummy, and it got pretty bad that evening. I threw up twice, and I was feeling pretty miserable. My mom called the doctor for me, and he prescribed some pills for nausea. I started taking the nausea pill and 20 minutes later I take my pain pill. I've had no problems since then!
The only thing I'd do differently if I did the whole thing over again (which I totally would if I had to) would be to get those nausea pills sooner! So maybe you can inquire about that. Good luck, girl! You will be fine, and as long as you have a competent surgeon, I am confident your result will be wonderful :)

Hey, I'm on Day 6 of my rhinoplasty surgery and I'd never had aesthetic before. Really wouldn't worry about it, I wasn't sick at all after rhinoplasty, just really really tired, not nauseous either. I'm 21 so not sure if age has anything to do with it, but I was warned of being sick as well and yet really I just felt like I'd taken a bunch of sleeping pills. Came back to my hotel and slept through the night. Good luck, and don't worry xx

Thanks so much :) Glad it all went well for you bet you cant wait to get your cast off!! wil keep you updated [RS bleep]

You will be fine! I am nervous too, because like you, this is also my first surgery! I have surgery scheduled in August. I'm nervous about being put to sleep but I'm confident that my surgeon will be able to give me what I want. :) Can't wait to see your results. Keep us updated - I will be checking back on your progress.

Congrats on your nose looks awesome. Slightly confused, did you use Alwyn D'Souza or another surgeon?
Many thanks
