One last update. Before and after pictures
WORTH IT$5,000
so, i think my journey is coming to an end. I am extremely happy i did it. Looking back at my old pictures - they all makes me cringe. Although there is still some swelling on my nose, i feel so much more convenient, i feel like I finally fit in, and my huge nose does not get in the way. Ohh how much i hated it. I can enjoy my life now without worrying about it anymore :) I have recently graduated uni, and i am so happy i didn't have to be sad about the pictures and how my nose looks in them, i could just enjoy my day.I am so so happy i done it :)

1 month and 5 day update
Hello everyone. Its been a bit more than a month since my surgery. I can say that I'm feeling good in general. It would be a lie if i said that I rarely think about my nose, because i still have to look after it and clean it every day. My breathing is so much better than before the surgery, however i still sometimes wake up at night due to my nose being blocked ( might be because of my hay fever ).
Now, looking back on my experience overall i am satisfied. I think i did not expect such a drastic change in how my will look. My surgeon was very nice, and she explained me from the beginning that i wont have a tiny nose as it would not look natural. However, after the surgery she said that my skin was much thinner and much more flexible and results will be much better than expected. Before my surgery i had sent her few pictures and photoshopped my own pictures of what i like and i can say that she succeeded of giving me what i asked for. During my surgery i had no complications and i am not sure how long it took as i never asked. After the surgery I stayed in the stationary for 3 days. I got looked after very well and all my request where satisfied. My doctor came to check up on me every day. I am very happy that the 3 day stay was already i. The price of the surgery and could not imagine how it would feel to go home straight after it as i felt so weak and sleepy. My recovery overall went well, just very very boring, at one point I thought i will loose my mind lol. My nose was only think i could think about. I was thinking about it all the time, literally all the time. I started to feel much better after first two and a half weeks but my nose was still really swollen. Because i flew for the surgery to my home country for a month, i felt very nervous of coming back. Even tho i sent a lot of pictures to my partner, he was still so shocked when he picked me at the airport. It was so weird, he was just starting at me all the time :D but at least he said he likes it, just that i looked so different.
I am very happy i did it and am more than satisfied with my doctor and the service i received. It saved me a lot of money as well by doing it there instead of UK. I would never be able to afford the best surgeon in the UK, but i could in Latvia. For somebody who are considering doing their surgery abroad i could definitely support the decision as long as proper research is done. If anyone has any questions or would like a support i an happy to help :)

Your nose is getting better each time you post. If it looks this good now, think how good it'll look in a few months!

Hi was this surgery at Lipex with Tatyana bogdanova? How long after was cast off and stitches removed? I’m booked for two weeks time and apparently have too wait for two weeks until cast off before I can fly home I’m worried because I can only stay 11 days after surgery

Umm potatoes
So it has been 2 weeks and 3 days since my rhino. Swelling is still bothering me and i keep avoiding pictures. It feels like I have potato on my face lol
On the positive note, i went to the shop to buy some wine for my friends birthday, and they asked me for some id. So I have convinced myself that my new nose have made me look younger :D would you agree? Lol I still don't feel beautiful and have a bit of trouble accepting myself. My profile tho looks way better and am very pleased.
Soon I will make a full update about my overall experience and doctors choice as i feel i have mainly described my emotions so far.

also, I think you look quite young as well. I don't think you've mentioned your age on here so I'm not sure if we can decide the age difference but just seeing your pictures I think you could pass for underage..in a good way! you look beautiful! happy healing :)

Looks fantastic and you'll be thrilled when the swelling goes down. It does change dramatically over the course of a year. Best wishes!

I know how you feel! It's so hard to be patience but we don't have other choice. I guess the best thing we can do is forget about our nose and beauty for some more weeks... This is a change for a lifetime so we will have time enough to enjoy our new noses! I'm in my day 9, so you're way ahead of me! Every time I look at myself I feel so disappointed. I know is only a matter of time but it's just so hard to go through something like this, pay what we paid and not seeing the results you expected... Anyway, just wanted to say, hang in there! We are all going through the same thing here! Imagine next summer how great is going to be!!! ;)
