WORTH IT$2,000
Hi All, I wanted to post an update as it has been a couple of years now since my op and I've received requests to post a front shot and both profile shots. (Sorry if I haven't replied to you yet).
Overall I am happy with my results and I am happy I decided to go ahead with surgery. My profile is fine. My nose from the front ISN'T perfect. As you will see from the picture it is slightly wide towards the tip, and the tip is round /uneven. The pic is with no makeup, and the imperfections are easily hidden with makeup. These changes have happened gradually over the two years. And something I will say, is that I know someone who had rhinoplasty around the same time as me, (she paid triple the price I paid) in London for her surgery. She also now has imperfections as time passes.
I still stand by my decision for surgery. It was a great experience for me and my confidence has improved a lot over the last two years. I'm not saying that surgery is always the answer. But for me it certainly helped.
If you are considering surgery. Please do your research. Find the right surgeon for the results you want. My experience was positive and I'm happy with my results. But every scenario is different. Every process will be different, every surgery, and every desired end result. My surgeon was perfect for me, and the result I wanted to achieve. His team, clinic and aftercare were all great. If you have unrealistic expectations about surgery then you will be disappointed. We unfortunately live in a world where we compare ourselves in reality to edited pictures not only of celebrities, but now of normal people we know. If you are expecting your results to make you look like a magazine cover-model, or an Instagram-celebrity then I'd say you'd be better to invest your money into a good camera and photo editing kit than surgery.
My review isn't to direct you to this surgeon. It is to help people who have (like I had) decided that this is the route you want to take and will find reassurance, in what seems like a daunting process, to travel abroad.
Good luck with your decision and I wish you all a positive experience too! :-)

Non Surgical Nose Job
Poland54321June 18, 2014
Hi RealSelf Friends.. I just had a cringe moment and remembered from a couple of years ago when I was so, so, desperate to have nose surgery but unsure of the consequences/cost/opinions etc. , I went online and read about the 'Non Surgical Nose Job Clip'. So, me being a sucker for marketing and feeling extremely vulnerable, knowing that I was destined to change my nose, decided to go ahead and purchase 3 (just in case the one didn't work). Please, please don't buy one of these. Looking back, I'm laughing at myself in that I even tried this and wasted my money. Please. Just don't! No more said. Ha ha !! :-/

OMG! LOL I swear to god! I paid 30 pounds for that plastic thing (nasofix I think it was) I even used to sleep with it on and wear it everyday religiously, I even got scars from wearing it so much (though they've faded now). How stupid of us! But there were so many reviews online which claimed it work, obviously fake but I wanted to believe it :( your new nose looks fabulous btw!
June 18, 2014
Haha! Me too. I think mine was Nasofix too. How ridiculous. I was so sold by this though. I told everyone - they must have thought I was on another planet! I tried all three, still no joy. Ha ha. You live and you learn ! X

How do you feel after your nose job? Has your self esteem improved significantly?
June 18, 2014
It really has, yes. Like everybody says - I really do wish i'd have done this years ago. It isn't until I reached this age that I realised that nobody else's opinion counts, it how you feel about yourself. I always felt as though I'd be seen as being selfish to spend such money on something that others would consider as vanity. But to me it was a priority and since I had the op, my confidence has grown significantly and it has completely cleared my head (before, it was constantly on my mind). X

I also bought a thingy called nose secret! I was desperate. Didn't really work and almost got lost up in there!
June 18, 2014
It's crazy that companies continue to make money off the back of people's vulnerabilities and get away with it ! We live and learn :-) x

Amazing results. I'm from Poland originally although I don't live there and after seeing your results, I'm considering giving it a go. Was it easy to reach the doctor? I googled Noa Clinic but it appears he no longer works there.
June 18, 2014
Thank you :) . That's a shock, and a real shame if he no longer works there. I can't fault the surgeon or the clinic. I don't know why he'd move on (unless they work between clinics, I'm not sure). I initially found the surgeon through 'what clinic' who then led me to the third party 'professional beauty' who arranged my surgery with Dr Adam at Noa Clinic :) good luck with your surgery X
June 18, 2014
Thank you for responding. :) I did find him on What Clinic; however, I noticed that they provide their own list of prices. I thought that the price would be determined on an individual basis considering the amount of work done so I'm not quite sure how that works. I wrote to them anyway so let's see. :)

I love your nose! I never heard of the non surgical nose job clip! Glad you don't need it!

These are the last questions I have:
1. How many taxi rides did you have to take in total during the stay?
2. How much does one taxi ride cost?
3. How much did you spend on food each day?
4. How much did you pay in total for staying in Puro Hotel?
April 21, 2014
Ok so I had to take 2taxi rides per day, as you have daily check ups after surgery. The taxi is always with the same people and they plan your pick ups and drop offs around your appointments. The clinic isn't far from the hotel.. if I remember rightly the taxi was around 20 zloty (which I think is around £4GBP) per journey. So, 5 days probably works out at around.. £40 tops. In fact not even that, as the airport journey was free and also you spend one night in the clinic. I'm sure that's correct. The Puro hotel is £40 per night. You need to look up different rates if you are planning on including meals etc. and food shopping.. I really don't remember how much I spent on snacks. I know that it was extremely cheap out there though :)
April 21, 2014
Thank you so much for your answer! When you where in Wroclaw in Poland did you have cash with you or did you pay with your card everything you bought?
April 21, 2014
I would recommend to get cash before hand and take it with you. I didn't, I took my card & withdrew money from the cash machines over there but it would have been easier if I'd withdrawn the money beforehand. My operation was paid before I got to Poland by a direct transfer but you can pay on card or with cash on arrival if you prefer :)
April 21, 2014
You now have the perfect nose and you look gorgeous!!!
May 25, 2014
Thank you so much for this, it is so reassuring to read your journal. I'm having rhinoplasty with Dr. Adam on June 23rd and I'm so excited. The reviews that I read were like 2 lines long, so it all seemed so shady. But ready day-to-day diaries is awesome! Thanks again, and btw, you look really pretty and the nose fits you so good!
June 11, 2014
You're very welcome. Congratulations on going ahead with your surgery. Good luck, and if you've any questions, or need reassurance message me :-) x
August 12, 2014
Hi, I just wondered how your surgery went with Adam as I am considering booking with him. Would be grateful for any info.
thanks
