I am 28 and have hated my nose as far back as I can remember. I get paranoid all the time convinced everybody is looking at the monstrosity in the centre of my face. I researched surgeons for over 12 years and as my children are now that bit older it was time to take the plunge. I had a few consultations with different surgeons. Then I met Dr Tahery!! This was the surgeon I had been searching for. He is amazing within 2 minutes I knew this would be the DR to change my life. I wrote down a list of questions I wanted to ask but he covered each and every point in great detail without me even having to raise them. He's realistic and clearly very skilled. I waited about a week for my consultation and I have my op 5th of August I am so excited. I will post before and after pics soon as I have it done. Fingers crossed everything goes ok

Best of luck how are you feeling? It will be great to keep in touch let me know how it all goes :-) xx

Im feeling good about it, a little more nervous these past couple of weeks after reading some not-so-good reviews etc, but i go for my pre-op on 6th June so will hopefully be put more at ease then. Excited still :-) Yes lets keep each other updated [RS bleep]

I've been feeling the same! Felt really hopeful and happy after the consultation but now I'm freaking out thinking I've made the right choice [RS bleep]

Which one is Lisa, girls? Is she the blonde bubbly woman - about mid 40s? Cant remember the ladys name i met with but she was lovely also and said she loved noses and rhinoplastys were her favorite for before and afters haha xx
May 26, 2016
Lisa was the lovely secretary in her own room with dark hair. don't think I met a blonde lady, hopefully I do she sounds so sweet xx

The lady I was thinking of is called Sharon. She's a lovely lady and had procedures done herself at Transform.

I have a consultation booked in this week, I also dealt with a lady called Lisa who was really nice she spent 30 minutes speaking to me, she has already had a rhinoplasty and it was Mr Tahery who performed it, is there 2 Lisa's that work there?
May 29, 2016
I am slightly confused because she never mentioned she is having it done, because she described he experience when she had it done, unless is a revision perhaps...
June 7, 2016
Being told that someone that works there is having/had the procedure appears to be part of the marketing. Everyone seems to get told that. Take it with a pinch of salt is my advice!

They do bung you up but they really helped take the edge off. You will start to feel better soon and this is the start of a new you!! How exciting for you [RS bleep] I'm 20 days post op with Mr Tahery the days have flown by [RS bleep]

August 5, 2016
I was waiting around quite a bit and my room wasn't ready either before my surgery but I was just too excited at that point. I was allowed home 4 hours later I couldn't wait to get in my own bed xx
August 5, 2016

I remember that packing haha. How is your appetite Hun? It's so weird not being able to taste anything isn't it haha xx
August 5, 2016
It looks an absolute mess to look at doesn't it. Scares you when u look in mirror I am dreading this packing being removed, but oh well atleast it's finally fixed. I havnt stopped eating surprisingly my appetite is better than most days jst pain relief in here is a joke 1 tramadol & 2 paracetamol you would think I had a sprained ankle xx
August 5, 2016
It comes out on its own Hun you just use the ocean spray to help it along and it does gradually disintegrate (unless you have been told otherwise of course) it's like a gel packing that absorbs the blood and mucus (yummy). My appetite was good too I was expecting to not wanting to eat as I had bought soups and made smoothies but nope, I was still good and hungry haha. I had to eat little bites and eat slowly though or it pulled on my stitches. You must be suffering more than I did Hun hopefully you will feel better tomorrow [RS bleep] I was given cocodamol not sure how strong they were though [RS bleep]
August 6, 2016
They gave me some codeine so that should do the trick with a few paracetamol feel 10x worse today than yday. I punched the anethatist while I was under haha the shame!! so glad to be home thou, how long did your packing take to dissolve & when did u start using saline spray? So great being able to ask some1 who has been through exact same [RS bleep]
August 6, 2016
Haha you punched him hahaha no way that's well funny!! Not for him mind oops haha. My packing was more or less all gone by day 5/6. A huge chunk came out on the 4th day it looked like a worm haha was rank. Then get used to a strange smell up your nose for a while when the packing is still up there a little. It smelled like a dentist smell. I started with the spray on day 2 as I wasn't sure how to use it at first but the packing is spongy so you can still spray it up there. Just hold it for about 2 seconds up each nostril and use a gauze pad to absorb any drips. I stared to use soft tissues after 3 days because it was gentler on my nostrils than the gauze xx

I know how embarrassing must have just been a reaction even being asleep :-) Thanks that's a great help its so sore. Was u pleased with result my tip does look a mess I dread even looking in the mirror & acknowledging it never mind touching it but my packing hangin rite out my nose [RS bleep]
August 7, 2016
Don't base any kind of final result on how you look now. You have had major surgery and trauma to your face. You will look different for a good 2 weeks. I was so so pleased with my result. Some people aren't though and that all depends on the swelling. It can be worse for others. It wasn't nice to look at and I thought my stitching was going to take ages to heal but mine has healed beautifully. Don't stress over any imperfections yet, it's so so early [RS bleep]

Hey i hope you're doing well. Just read your comment about your tip. Im post op 11 days now and I had my surgery with Mr Tahery. I saw my tip and collumella and omg i was so freaked out at first. It looked so uneven, my nostrils looked strange. HOWEVER once the packing came out, it really started to heal and look less swollen. Since the stitches have been removed, its healed up so well and looks even. Im really happy with it. So just be patient, get plenty of rest and try not to focus on it too much. The rest of my nose is still very swollen at this stage which again I have to keep reminding myself how patient one has to be xxxx
August 9, 2016
Thank you that put me at ease a lot more. It is starting to look a bit more even, I am sure it will be fine I just have to be calm and wait.. I m so glad yours went well and your pleased [RS bleep]
I am feeling nervous, keep thinking about if it goes wrong which is silly I'm sure it will be fine!
how you feeling? xx
Yer Lisa mentioned she might be in on the same date I am just glad I am not alone if we have time we will have to have a pre op coffee :-) xx
