Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Hello RealSelfers!
This has been a really difficult journey so far, I am continuously wondering if I am doing the right thing or whether I could be putting this money towards other things (I would love to travel – I graduate this summer). However, having read so many of your helpful stories and meeting Mr Ion, I am confident I am making the right decision for me.
I don’t think I have a “terrible” nose; I just really dislike the hump and the way I look from the side. So many of my friends react “why are you having this done?” but I have wanted this for a long time.
So far I have purchased:
• Arnica tablets
• Arnica cooling gel
• Nasal rinse
• V shaped pillow
• Neck pillow
• Humidifier
• Vaseline
I have deliberated putting pictures up, as I have only told a limited few that I am getting this done. But I thought I would show you what my nose currently looks like and the morphs created as so many of you other reviewers have been kind enough to share yours.
This website has been so helpful, so I am hoping to share my experience to help anyone in the same position and receive some insight for those who have been through this journey already!
Any other tips/purchases for pre/post op would be appreciated – the nerves are definitely kicking in now!

Just some pictures before op
Done!
I did it!
Hey everyone, I would firstly like to say a huge thank you for everyone's advice/ comments on my original post - it has helped me so much! Apologies I have not replied, I did not receive email notifications but have changed my settings so should be better at replying now :)
So yesterday I had my rhinoplasty with dr ion. I can't tell you how scared I have been the last week leading up to it (I have to admit, I am one of those people who will find something to worry about lol), but the Weymouth hospital, dr ion, the anaesthetist and the nurses have were all fantastic.
Dr ion said the op went well and it is true what people say, I really am feeling no pain at the moment! However sleeping is a big issue - just had my first sleepless night. Sleeping upright is hard and i hate the drippy feeling of blood on the gauze but apparently this should stop soon - fingers crossed! The anaesthetic was great as it literally knocks you out even when you wake up, I could really do with some of that now haha.
I asked if Mr Ion could take a picture in surgery of the finished result which he did and it looked exactly liked my morph! However i am trying not to get myself too excited yet as I know I have a long road of swelling ahead etc.
I sneezed twice on the way home (the panic lol!!) but managed to sneeze through my mouth.
I am currently sporting two very black eyes, will hopefully upload some pictures when I don't look so horrific.
Think that's all for now, I'm going to get back to yoghurt, pineapple juice and trash TV :D
