So after years and years of hating my schnozzola...

So after years and years of hating my schnozzola I'm finally in a place where I can proceed with my rhinoplasty! As a child I was tormented and called names, hence "Concorde". Nice! Kids are cruel right?!
I've thought about it on and off for longer than I can remember and I'm now at the point where I know it's the right thing for me for all the right reasons and I got the money to pay.
I'm going to book and pay my deposit tomorrow and I'm so excited!
I've had the usual comments from family and my hubby - "you don't need it doing", "you're lovely as you are" etc etc but this decision is for me and I have 100% support. So here is my journey!
My nose is a large hump, is large on the bridge and apparently had a bulbous tip.
I've seen my surgeon and he tells me he can do what I want and suggested another couple of things for it all to fit in together. Feel confident he knows what I want and his abilities so all good.
I have chosen to go through transform and they have recommended Mr Persico. I've read a lot of reviews on him and now have met him. Feel confident and excited!
Updates will be coming as and when. Not having it done for a couple of months due to other commitments so will be post again then!

Are you getting nervous yet? Mine is booked for 22nd July. Cant wait for it to be done x
March 30, 2016
Not quite at the nervous stage yet. It's more excitement at the moment! Although I'm sure in a couple of weeks I will be!
March 30, 2016
Will follow your posts, !! Because I travelled to Chester I had my pre op whilst there and they are going to do another on day of procedure. X
March 30, 2016
I'm not far from the local clinic so it's no hassle for me. What do you do in the pre op? x
March 30, 2016
I know the one in meanwood, that's not bad if you live nearby. Ive been there twice and got lost twice.

A week to go!

So only a week to go. Well this time in a week I should be all done. I'm a mixture of super excited and really quite terrified but I guess that's normal! :)
Keep looking at my nose in the mirror and thinking I'm so happy to be getting this done. My hubby is sad that he only has a week left with "my" nose. Sweet but weird!
Starting on the Arnica today which kind of makes it feel real. I have some Bromelain too but unsure whether I should take that before as my letter says not to take any vitamins or anything. Anyone know?
Also trying to put together a list of essentials that I will need. Don't really know where to start so any help would be much appreciated!

So excited for you, I have to wait till the 10th, I will be eagerly watching your updates!!! I too have been wondering about the bromelain, I bought the Arnica today and will start in a week but my instructions too say no herbal remedies/medications and I don't want to do the wrong thing. Please keep us updated with your progress xx
April 22, 2016
Oooh find out and let me know because I was going to get bromelain. Is Arnica ok to take then? I have the cream.
April 22, 2016
Ahh thank you! I'll certainly be posting on the day. I know you're meant to avoid anything that will thin the blood which includes a lot of vitamins but I've seen a few reviews that seem to suggest Bromelain can be taken beforehand. Just want to be in the best possible condition to minimise my bruising and swelling! x
April 22, 2016
I'm giddy for you. Cant wait to see your results!!. Get some neck pillows,straws,frozen peas or small gel packs to freeze, lipsyl (spelt that bugger wrong)
April 22, 2016
Good plan and thanks for the tips!
Yes my nurse and surgeon both recommended I take Arnica. If you have it in tablet form you can take it from 5-7 days in advance of your surgery so it's in your system already. It means the bruises should start out already at the starting to fade stage. Don't know how well it'll work but certainly worth a try! I've used the cream on sports injuries before and it's really helped so fingers crossed!

I bought the cream as well but it says avoid the eyes, mmm bit tricky as that's where I would have put it, ha!!!
April 23, 2016
I'd def give the tablets a whirl. Obviously I can't vouch for it yet but because you can take them before it'll be in your system and working already by the time of your op. My nurse recommended 1 tablet 4 times per day. I'll let you know if it helps!! Holland and Barrett do the tablets xx
