Or if the air-conditioned is set to very cold, otherwise no other major concern. My doctor reassured me that it is just common normal issues to expect on my healing process.

Hope and pray that i healed properly to reach my one year journey without any problem or so, though i went back to middle east on my 10 th day post op. No other issues as for now, dr lorenzo answered all my questions thru emails without delay. His very assuring words helped me to deal with my mental and emotional issues which is normal questions from a post rhino patients like me. Im dealing to a process of recovery. Till then my friends. I will recommend Dr Lorenzo out there who wants to undo their nose like mine. My very thanks to the staff and nurses as well who are friendly to accommodate me during my pre and post surgery process.

Rhinoplasty is not an easy decision to make. It is...

Rhinoplasty is not an easy decision to make. It is a one year journey that a client will deal on a daily basis and to choose a right doctor will make it easy and very satisfied on the results.
Born with asian ethnic nose even how beautiful your other features are will make your face unbalanced, it made a person to wish that someday God will do miracle to change that nose on either way thru surgery and so.
For 23 years since i started to do make up the first thing to cover up and fix thru cosmetics is my nose with techniques and proper contouring. Looking to the mirror, still i'm dissatisfied. Thanks to the modern changing world that plastic surgery is a trend now to help me out from a long years of dilemma and insecurities especially that i'm living in middle east and with an arab husband and society of people with a very perfect nose.
Choosing a right doctor will remove all your fears and concerns. I found my doctor.
Dr. Rino Lorenzo from Philippines thru online searching, blogs and comments from his previous patients. Nobody will recommend me whose the right doctor. But to follow my own instincts and gut feelings especially that a nose job is a centimeter surgery that needs to be precised and accurate.
Honestly, i know that my issue will never be perfect even prior to surgery, the different sides of my face is not even symmetrical and my nostrils are uneven.
I'm not longing to a perfect symmetrical nose, a very little asymmetry is okay to me. But i need improvement and at least a near perfection nose, a natural good looking nose that balance my features. And i'm right. Thanks God, i found a very skilled doctor to deal with my issues and concerns. From the moment me and my husband talked to dr. Lorenzo during pre sessions, i know he is the right doctor for me.
By the way it is not a joke to travel from middle east to Philippines to the fact that lots of plastic surgeons available nearby.

I'm glad this went well for you! Thank you so much for sharing your experience on RealSelf. If you were able to change one thing about this journey, what would it be?

im just now 10 weeks post op.
Thanks God. At this moment no other major concern to deal with besides the nose congestion on the first two weeks and the swelling which will totaly subsides at 12 to 18 months.
I will answer you angie when i finished my journey.
Thanks for the comment
how long did you stay in Philippines ?
I find your experience amazing. You traveled from the Middle East to the Philippines. Dr. Lorenzo must be very good. You sound happy about the results a year after surgery. I am in the planning stages of getting rhinoplasty with him next year. God willing. If you don't mind, do you have some pictures you can share? Thank you!
