After spending most of my life hating my nose, I finally bit the bullet & booked my septo-rhinoplasty. My nose was to big for my face with a bulbous tip & bent to the left. I hated having photos taken & would hide behind long hair!! My xonsultation with Mark Solomos was great, he was to the point & told me what could & could not be achieved. I put my trust in him & booked my surgery for 4th May 2017. Surgery day came around much quicker than I thought it would & I began to have doubts about whether I was doing the right thing but the nurses at the Highgate Hospital & mr Solomos calmed me down & reassured me there would be a definite improvement to my nose. Surgery was over in a flash & when I woke up in recovery the worst part about it was the sore throat! I had no pain in my nose/face at all which is surprising considering my nose had to be broken & the septum moved etc. The worst part of the surgery was having the packs removed the next morning. It was the most uncomfortable feeling I have ever had & ive had a baby!! Lol. Recovery hasn't been too bad. Bruising & swelling has subsided pretty quickly & so far I am happy with the results. If you are thinking of booking mr Solomos as your surgeon, I would definitely recommend him & the Highgate hospital

you look great! Amazing result
can i ask for a picture where you smile so i can see your teeth. For me, both the teeth and nose are crooked. Don't know if you can send a private message on here.

Hi
Thank you! My teeth are straight (thanks to years of braces!) lol & I don't think you can private message pictures on here so I will upload a photo with a smile. My face is still fairly stiff/numb in places so the full smile isn't quite back yet!

Thanks for posting the smile pic. Looking good! :)Was your nose straight as a kid? Mine was.
Has the numbness gotten better, any more changes in the nose with the swelling going down?

Hi, sorry I've only just seen this. Yes my nose was straight as a kid & gradually got more & more crooked as I got older. I have no idea if I broke it when I was younger (used to do lots of sports) or whether it was just nature! The numbness has gotten lots better & I can smile much more naturally now. I can move my nostrils again but the tip & columella are still pretty numb but I expected that as there was a lot of work done there x
