Everything is going great and its so awesome not to be self conscious about something anymore. That is the best thing about all of this, just to not even think about my nose anymore :)

I was quite apprehensive about going to see a doctor about my nose. I wasnt sure what questions really to ask but i went along after receiving an email for a special that was in my price range. The consultation was free. Dr Anwar was friendly and caring. He asked me what bothered me about my nose and then he explained to me the medical reasons of why my nose and tip was - well - deformed?! He drew me diagrams and he also recommended shaving the bump which i hadnt worried about previously but i am really happy about now. He told me to have a think then come back for another free consultation with pictures of what i liked and any other questions. I did this and returned with a million questions and a pic of one of the olsen twins lol. He said it was achievable as it was similar to my own profile. He just had to shave hump and fix tip. I felt really confident and i booked surgery. The day of surgery i asked for another consult! I just wanted to ensure we were on same page because it had been awhile since we spoke. He agreed and met me with a friendly smile and answered everything i asked and i felt great going in. The anaethetist there was amazing. He rang me the day before and spoke to me for a half hour on the phone. He was so nice snd so passionate for his work. I felt completely safe and comfortable. The nurses were very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. After surgery i felt great and i have felt great ever since. This surgery is painless. Its uncomfortable at times with things up your nose but it does not hurt! I have seen the Dr twice since for checkups, have received a call from the clinic to make sure i was ok.. Oh and since i had my surgery they have had a special on rhinoplasty for $2000 less than i paid so they have offered me laser resurfacing credit for $2000 which is just awesome. I have another free consult with Dr Anwar in a few weeks for another checkup on my nose at the one month stage. Honestly my experience with this clinic and Dr Anwar has been outstanding. After my surgery the anaethetist came to me and said that he had not worked with my Dr before but said he watched the surgery and was super impressed with his technique. I am happy with my results. He did exactly what he said he would do and i still look like me. Unless something completely changes after all the swelling subsides i give him a deserved 5 stars.

I thought i would update as i am about 6 months post op now. I am still healing as the still swelling goes up and down. Some days i think it is not quite straight but then the next day it is straight. I have found arinca pills really really work. The very tip is still a little numb but only slightly. I am still extremely happy i did this and feel blessed that it came out ok.

It looks great! I just seen that you got $2,000 credit for laser, I've been getting CO2 on an old scar and it seems to be softening. On my check up for my lip lift I was given free laser over the (slight) surgical scar. I'm really happy with the team at Dermamed and couldn't imagine going anywhere else!

Thank you! I agree, those guys are awesome. I couldn't imagine them turning away someone that was unhappy or disappointed with a surgery outcome. You are looking fantastic too, i love the lift :)

Hey there,

Thanks so much for documenting your experience! Would you use dr Anwar if you did it all over again? I'm considering him. Also, what was the deep sedation like could I ask? I'm a bit nervy about not being completely under. Thank u! Amy

Hi Everyone,
Thought id update since its been over 3 months and the results are starting to settle.
The tip is still a little numb. The right side feels a little spongy at times and i have a bit of scar tissue forming on each nostril wall.
At my last review, he said that there was some inflammation up in my nose and is was greyish. He asked if i was sneezing at all and yes i work in an office which is full of paper and dust i sneeze a lot there but never at home. I am using a nasal spray this is helping. If the inflammation doesnt subside in time i will see about it. I find it a bit difficult in cleaning out my nose as im still not comfortable just full on blowing it yet. I feel im always touching it and trying to clear it out. Mostly only at work though. Its like an allergy?
My results are still improving and im feeling very blessed and thankful that my journey has been extremely positive.

I feel that rhinoplasty has the biggest reward for those people that really have not much to lose. I was so unhappy with my appearance before this. Any change was almost always going to be positive for me.
I know my doctor cops a lot of s**t on this site. I can only speak for myself and my own experience.
I will post a recent before and after. I will try to find a front view also.

Your nose, and all your appearance together look so awesome. I am still summing up the courage to do my surgery. I feel like I am building a bit more courage, so maybe some early next year hopefully.
