Cant believe it has almost been 3mths since the op. All is progressing pretty well. My nose is not perfect, but it is a lot better. It still kind of swings to one side a little, but I am not fussed with that :) attached some pics.

Thought id pop in for another update. the last couple of weeks have been very busy! My nose seems to change all the time... overall I am happy, but the last few days ive been anxious because there's an indent in my right nostril that is creating some asymmetry... im not sure whether this will correct itself or not, seems like it may not be related to swelling but is a structural thing? ? I am posting pics for opinions, any advice would be so much appreciated. thanks all [RS bleep]

Hey ive just had a septorhinoplasty aswell and am now day 4 post op, just wondering when did you fully regain your sense of smell and taste, and a what day did your nostrills free up?
November 12, 2013
Hey there, it took about 5 days before I could taste anything, and it slowly got better from there over the next week or so. My breathing took around 12 days to improve, and even now I still get a little congestion, but its not too bad. The first week is rough and then things get better. Hang in there! !

Wow! You were stunning before, and now you're stunning with a perfect nose :) I'm on day 2 of my recovery (also caused by breaking my nose as a child). I hope my results are as good. Thanks so much for sharing your story!
November 12, 2013
Thank you! How is your recovery going? Wishing you all the best and im sure you will have a great result ! :)

So far it's better than having a cold, but I've got two great black eyes :) I get my cast off on Friday... Can't wait!

two weeks post surgery!
missjess2013October 26, 2013
So ive been doing pretty well. I went back to work this week which was haaaard... still exhausted from the surgery I think, but I improved as the week went on and im feeling almost back to my usual energy levels. Yay!
My nose changes day to day. Mid week I had some asymmetrical swelling which freaked me out a bit... but it seems to have evens up in the past couple of days
ive had lots of comments along the lines of "it is very natural" and "you still look like you" which I guess is a good thing?! Lol.. the difference is more noticeable to my fiancé, who can see it has been narrowed as well as straightened. I guess it will become more refined in time. I've included two week pics :)

You look incredible. Your review is making me feel better: its nice to see someone else is freaked out that theyll die on the operation table haha. Hopefully I live and get great results like you!
October 26, 2013
Thank you! I think its normal to be anxious about surgery. What helped me was to talk to the surgeon and anethesist about my concerns. They really did reassure me a lot.
Your results are going to be amazing, cant wait to see!!
October 26, 2013
Your nose looks beautiful and fits your face perfectly. Congrats.

Do u suggest this surgeon..I Iive in melbourne and I want a nose job in the next 2 years or so and dont know where to start!!
October 27, 2013
Hi there! I have been very happy so far and believe he is an excellent surgeon :) a lot of people have a number of consultations before deciding, but I didnt really feel need to (he was the only surgeon I saw)
If you have a referral from your doctor, you can claim some of the cost of your first consultation back from medicare.
Ive heard that andrew greensmith is also good!
Let me know if you want any more info, im very happy to share!

Thanks so much!!! I had a 6 month course of accutane because I had crappy skin and the rule is I cant have any cosmetic surgery for a year. Im planning to have it in 2 years anyway because I need to save. My fear is having a plastic looking nose when I wake up....yours looks great!!

If you haven't already, sign up for private health insurance. Most require you to be a member for at least 12mths before an operation. Hospital fees are around $3k if you stay overnight.
Yes I loved my surgeon's before and afters. He seems to be able to balance people's features really well. With my nose it was about functionality (breathing issues) and then fixing the crookedness so that the focus would go to my eyes rather than the nose.
He said that with male patients, he wouldn't alter a 'strong' nose too much as he believes that it is aesthetically pleasing on a man ( I agree!)
I had to wait around 6mths between my consult and operation, I think some of the higher profile surgeons have longer waiting lists... oh and the wait for first consult was also around 2mths, so you may want to factor that in to your plans.
October 27, 2013
Oh I meant to say that I only paid a $500 excess for my stay in hospital, rather than the $3k it would have cost if I didnt have it.
October 27, 2013
Thank you so much I probably will go with your surgeon and might go for a few other consults... happy for you!! One day I might wake up and not hate my own reflection!!!
November 17, 2014
Hey,
could you please tell me you're surgeon's name? And the cost of it? Am thinking getting mine done, iA. Also you look great!
