I've removed my morphs as they were a little unflattering and having them on here was a little too exposing for my liking. Please send me a PM if you wish to see them.

The shape of my nose has been something which has bothered me since my early teens. Although I was never bullied about it at school or work there’s nothing more confidence destroying than talking to someone and noticing them focusing on your nose. It was something I always told myself I would address at some point in life.
After spending hours lurking on this and other sites and reading about other people journeys and horror stories it was apparent that the choice of surgeon was crucial to ensuring the outcome desired. I was also clear this wasn't something I could skimp on since a revision is definitely not an option. After reading many reviews for surgeons who have a larger web presence I stumbled across Lucian Ion. I won’t repeat all the points mentioned in the other reviews however after meeting Lucian for my consultation what I would say is that they are accurate.
The issues identified are;
Nasal Bridge: Relatively Wide, Deviated to the left, Bridge bump, Radix relatively deep
Nasal tip: Wide, Moderate asymmetry, Deviated to the left
Columella: Slight Overhang
Nostril rim: Slight overhang
Nasal Skin: Relatively Thick
During my consultation Lucion created two images. One was his recommendation and the other was based on my expectation.
I’d be grateful if you’d let me know which suits me better. I have plenty of time to decide as my surgery date isn’t until late May.

Straight looks better than slope. Good luck!

Thanks for your valuable feedback - whether or not a Septoplasty was necessary was discussed in the consultation. I will check the paperwork tonight and confirm if it is listed.

Thanks for sharing your experience - I have a consultation with him next week :). I agree that straight looks better and more masculine. Good luck and keep us posted if you can.

Thanks for your valuable feedback. I found reading about other peoples experiences very useful and feel obligated to share my own. I'll be keeping this page updated as much as possible. Best of luck with your journey and consultation - you'll know you've made right choice of surgeon when you need him next week.

I would say only a slight straight adjustment to your side profile, too much and you will end up with a ski slope nose. You look great as you are, but I say go for it if it is something you have always wanted. Good luck.

Hello Good luck Im considering Ion too, I agree with others straight suits you better, howevere your own nose looks fine you dont need surgery course its your choice. The price of Mr Ion seems to vary so much, is that price you wrote pounds or dollars please?

Thanks for your valuable feedback and kind comment. The price is in dollars converted from pounds at yesterday's exchange rate. i.e. £7972 - this is including an overnight stay at the hospital which added £300 to the cost.
