Nose feeling softest it's ever felt but still a little hardness left. Ive always struggled with congestion since a child and thought maybe a septorhinoplasty might help.. it hasnt unfortunately and I still find from time to time im quite congested. I might just be swollen still inside my nose - who knows!

I dont get that weird smell anymore - the one where you can almost still smell the stitches? Not sure if anybody experienced that before. I also dont have any more scabs which I did for quite a while.

Im not on here so much anymore but still more than happy to answer questions or concerns about any upcoming ops. Still cant believe I actually went through with it - it really is the best thing I ever did.

Wow, where does the time go?!

On October 2nd it will be one year since my op! I am still feeling a slightly swollen tip 11 months on so it really is true what they say when they say it could be up to 2 years for final result! I dont think mine will change much now. Much happier with my profile and not feeling as self conscious anymore. Yes there are certain angles where a bit of my tip looks bulky but as ive said before, it was never going to be a button nose! No regrets from over here. Hope everyone else heals well and finds what they are looking for xx

You look fantastic.I have a consultation with Lucian Ion in July.Im really scared as it is for revision surgery following a botched job by a "surgeon" at Shotley Bridge.How are you feeling now.Did you have much swelling x

Thank you :-)
Ive seen Lucian's name appear a lot on here with many good things said about him - i'm sure you're in good hands!

How long ago was your other surgery? You poor thing to have to go through that!!

The tip of my nose had a lot of work including a skin graft from the top of my leg so it still feels quite stiff! Its been 9 months now and little by little its getting a bit softer. I think it will take up to 2 years for it to completely go down x

Hi its 20 year ago since i had mine done and i have lived with it but Im hoping Lucian Ion will put it right in November.Your nose is looking fab x
August 18, 2016
Thank you for putting up all your updates. Your nose fits your face so nicely. You have to remember people look at your face as a whole and not focus on one thing. It has given me abit of hope too. Waiting for swelling to go...and your pictures just show how patient you actually have to be. Wish you the best anyway and you should be very happy indeed! Xx
