WORTH IT
Just thought I would post a few more pics to show comparison, still got lots of swelling in and still a bit sausage looking from different angles, but already very happy so once the swelling completely goes over the coming months it should look more refined.

I will update in future to show progress, here is the last few pics for now :-) X

I'm 10 days p/o and had zero swelling and 2 days of bruising because I've been sleeping sitting up. Its HORRIBLE at first but after you get use to it. Maybe you should try it to help your nose swelling :)

Well I got the cast off last night much to my absolute delight!! I couldn't take it anymore and my PS agreed to remove it for me, instead of waiting until Monday!

It's still very much swollen in bridge and tip, but I am over the moon with it so far! My tip is a little bit up turned but been told this will settle down over time!

I have finally been able to put some makeup on and take a few pics, in diff ways and diff lighting so you can see what it now looks like!

Happy days :) lol X

How long did you wait/research? You look so beautiful it hurts my eyes haha! I always come back to your blog lol! Definitely my role model outcome because it looks SOO natural!
User Avatar
December 5, 2015
I waited years, as I was scared of having surgery on my face lol. I started researching properly in 2010 and then three years ago had a couple more consultations but couldn't bring myself to face surgery. Then again last year I had another consultation with another diff PS. Then I finally plucked up the courage this year and just went for it lol. Ah thank you that's very nice of you, I'm really happy too and thankful it's looking good :-) X
December 3, 2015
Wow!! Excellent results!! It honestly is fantastic surgery because the nose is refined but it still looks natural!! I'm really happy for you :)

Looks like he's done a nice job for you.. Wish I could say the same for myself!
I'm 7 weeks post open rhinoplasty and my nose is a bent horrible mess... I'm devastated
User Avatar
December 4, 2015
Ah no so sorry to hear that! Have you spoken your concerns to your PS to see if he can put things right for you, hope he can! I had closed rhinoplasty, so probably much more straight forward than open rhinoplasty x
December 4, 2015
My appointment with Mr Hodgkinson isn't until 11 Jan so just have to wait until then.. He did explain to me before the op that there would be a chance I would need refinement, however I feel my nose needs a lot more than that! It's a mess :-(
December 4, 2015
When I was in recovery he came to me and said 'it's pretty'.. I think he meant pretty bent! Ha!
User Avatar
December 4, 2015
Haha, ah well if you've got an app with Mr Hodgkinson and you do decide to go ahead, I think you will be making the right choice! He specialises more in complex rhinoplasty so you will be in extremely good hands with him! Yeh he's a very busy man, you can see why too lol, I wish you lots of luck and hope you get it sorted! :-) x
December 4, 2015
Mr Hodgkinson did this! I'm now worried about going back to him for anymore surgery incase he mucks it up even more.. I'll just have to wait to see what he says.
Thank you, you look great by the way xx

December 4, 2015
Oh dear you poor thing! How did he mess up your nose? Im really pleased with how he did mine but that's really unfortunate that he's made a mistake with yours! Did he say the op didnt go well then? And he acknowledged that something hadnt gone right?x
December 4, 2015
He's took more bone off one side than the other and the tip and nostrils are wonky..
I've only seen him once since the op (when he removed the splint) he didn't say much, just told me to massage it.
Obviously it's still swollen so I'm hoping it will improve as that goes down but I know for sure that I'll need further surgery.. The thought of more surgery devastates me as I have a little boy and to go through everything again will be just awful :-(
User Avatar
December 4, 2015
You poor thing! What did he say massaging will do? Reduce the swelling? Yea its so unfair that you have to go through surgery again! Will he do it for free? Give yourself enough time to rest first...i hope things get better for you x
December 5, 2015
Yes, massage will help reduce the swelling.
I'd have to pay again, he didn't give any indication about how much refinement would cost, he just said it wouldn't be as much as the initial op.
I'll update you after my appointment in January.
I wish I'd known about this site - I would have done a blog from the start..
User Avatar
December 5, 2015
Ah I hope he sorts it out properly for you, it's such a shame as I'm very happy with mine, but again I think that's because mine was so straight forward being closed rhinoplasty. You could still start a blog it might help you by talking and getting peoples view/opinions on your experience. Plus show people the other side of cosmetic surgery! I really feel for you and wish you all the best in getting it put right. Yes please keep us updated - X
December 5, 2015
Yes, I'm going to start a blog..
It's made me feel a bit better seeing people's positive experiences.
Thank you very much xx

Thought I would post a couple of side view pics, even though the splint still remains, I can already see my bump has gone and the slope it's more noticeable :)
