surgery booked!!

$10,000
FINALLY surgery with Dr Ion booked at the end of Jan. I've managed to get 20 days off work and have also booked my flights. I'm gonna be landing into London the day before the surgery and flying back to Dubai 2 weeks later where I will have a further 5 days to recooperate before I'm back at work again. (I hope its enough)
Its actually happening!! These next 5 months can't pass by quick enough!

Congrats!  Thanks for sharing - loved hearing your story... keep us in the loop!

I'd love to know the outcome - I booked 6 months in advance for my procedures and it seemed to take forever! You're very pretty and what seem minor flaws to others can definitely feature more to ourselves. I had a bullfrog neck (chin to chest - It just collapsed at menopause!) so I had a necklift. So many people say "there was nothing wrong with your neck". I show them photos from my review on here and they say "but you never looked like that" !! What's that about???! Good luck with your patient wait. Sorry your Dr was so rushed when you saw him. He does seem to have a very good record for noses in the UK though, from what I've read on here.
I know what you mean about it feeling like ages! I can't wait for January to come I wish I could fast forward time!!

How exciting! What's your exact date so I can add you to the RealSelf Surgery Calendar? Here's some information you may find helpful as you prepare for your big day:

I think the revised photo looks amazing! I'd lobe to have a nose like that
The more I look at it the more I like it. I guess I wasn't expecting such a big difference, and I don't want to end up not looking like myself anymore if that makes sense. Maybe I just need to get used to seeing it, I keep looking at the photo on my phone and it's starting to look less strange to me. I still think maybe I would suit a slightly less "refined" tip.
I think it will look fantastic.I am going to see mr Ion in July I had a botched rhinoplasty years ago so am praying he can put it right.He has great reviews.PS your nose looks fine before anything mind x
I think you look beautiful, but at initial glance thought maybe a bit too "skinny". It's hard to tell thiugh
