Hi guys,
i'm 20 years old and have always wanted Rhinoplasty. I was going to travel to America for surgery as i was recommended a surgeon over there, but after months of thinking hard, i felt although if something were to go wrong it would be hard to go out there just to get checked etc (I'm from the uk btw)! So i found and got recommended dr ion by a guy who did my friends botox! it's hard to find reviews because us english folk are more private about things like plastic surgery, so none really wants to admit to it (although i have no problem, if all goes well i'll be recommending lucian for years to come)! However what i have seen of lucians work has been amazing so I'm really looking forward to meeting him when i get my consult next month which i've paid for! eeeeek
So i want to hear your experiences and to see the physical changes through photos and i'll do the same back! Once i have the surgery ofcourse....

BOOKED SURGERY
APAP3September 2, 2015
So i booked surgery with Lucien and now the waiting begins.
He's a super busy man, and i have to wait until the 10th of nov for my surgery but it'll be worth it! my 21st birthday is on the 26th of november so i'm hoping that some of the swelling would have gone down.. but am waiting until december to celebrate!!
I booked my 2nd consultation and the only date they had was the 4th of november... a little scary how close it'll be to my surgery date, but i hope we come to a conclusion about how my nose will look from the front. i'm extremely happy about the side profile morphe so we will see... once my morphes are perfect i will put up some pictures!!

Scared
APAP3September 2, 2015
However, i am bricking it haha!
i believe in ions ability and i trust him, at the same time im nervous about how its going to look..
plus im not that great with operations as when i was younger i had an operation (blood clot in the brain) from an accident and anything to do with going to sleep scares me shitless!! And on top of that i have ectopic heart beats... has anyone else have these? if so have you had an operation?

Have you mentioned about your ectopic beats to him? I'm having these at the minute, after previously having a heart condition a few years ago, so he said I had to see about it before having surgery as the anaesthetist wouldn't touch me if I went in on the day of surgery and said I suffered from these. So I'm seeing a cardiologist to get checked out before booking. I do wonder whether it's the fear of surgery that may be causing them however x

Yes he wanted to see the letter from my doctor. i went to the cardiologist about 2 years ago, however i am going to go privately before the operation to double check everything and bring a letter with me on my pre-op. will put my mind at ease to get it double checked. but if they wont op on me, id be sooo gutted! i think im stressed out at the moment which could be why they're worse or more frequent.

Hey! Ive booked a consultation for the 11th with Dr Ion. just wondering how much you got quoted because £11,000 sounds alot!!!

Thanks for staring your story on RealSelf! I hope you find lots of information and support here. Check out this list of pre- and post-op tips. Please keep us posted!
I just went for a consultation with Dr Ion today and was quoted £7820. It was broken done as £5500 for the surgical fees, £1,820 for the hospital fees and £500 for the anaesthetic fees.
I was also quoted £6500 by Dr Julian De Silva earlier this year, but even though Dr Ion is more expensive I think I will go with him because the reviews are much more solid (in that there's tons of feedback, photographs, continued interaction from the posters - with Dr De Silva, there were very few pictures and I couldn't trace the people who left all these wonderful reviews... it seemed a bit suspicious)
The thing is, you can always go to someone less expensive, or go to another country to get surgery... but I think when it comes to something as serious as plastic surgery, particularly when it's your face, don't be cheap. The consequences are permanent.
Wondering if you have had surgery yet ?
