I would start going to consultations as soon as you feel ready to do that, so that you can get a variety of opinions and possible options. I was surprised at how emotional I was after my first consultation. I definitely felt the need to slow down and take even more time to prepare. The rhinoplasty specialist I went to would have been able to book a surgery as soon as 1 month away. I think most surgeons differ in wait times, but shouldn't be too long of a wait. A board certified facial plastic surgeon is usually the best to go with because they are specialists in rhinoplasty. Personally, I've only been to one consultation so far because money is tight and I've got other priorities at the moment, but I plan on going to at least a couple more consultations before deciding on which doctor I want to go ahead with!

Thank you so much for all your great advice! It really helps a lot.

Hi I have always wanted a different nose as I hate mine.

October 27, 2015

Hi Tia, is your nose similar to mine? I hate mine as well. I feel like I'm wearing a pair of those glasses with a fake nose attached!

October 28, 2015

Hi, believe me mine is way worse than yours!!. Ive been to a consultation and he said he didn't see that he could improve mine much due to cartilage on the tip and my skin being thin

October 28, 2015

I'm going for another opinion but don't want to go through it all for hardly any improvement. Least he was honest and didn't lie and just take the money. Xx

Yes, that's true. It's good to see that there are surgeons who are realistic about their abilities. I would definitely get a second opinion. What he can't do, some other surgeon might. I have been looking at doctors who only specialize in facial plastic surgery. All doctors tend to have an area that they excel in, and I want whoever I choose to know how to work on the nose. Good luck in your journey! I hope you are able to find someone to help you

Thankyou so much, yes the one on my list next specialises in rhinoplasty and is an ENT surgeon so will see. If not I will have at least tried and just have to live with what I have. I will follow your journey and keep you informed about mine. Good luck x

I was told the same thing by 3 surgeons. They said my cartilage was too thin and it was a tricky nose to work on. I found a surgeon who specialised in complex rhinoplasty and he took a skin graft from my leg to create a rounder tip for me and for it to appear less bony. It can be done! Xx

Hi, I'm in Scotland so the process building up to surgery will be a little different but best advice I think you'll get for post op is a little shopping list haha, straws your going to thank me for this one after you spill juice haha, arnica for the bruising and swelling I used the cream but you can get tablets, frozen peas and food bags. I split the peas into little portions to ice my nose and eyes but so that I wouldn't have a heavy bag on my nose. Soft food. My teeth felt strange and when your chewing your nose moves a lot. For the first few days that movement is uncomfortable but soft food and it's okay. Lastly get a really good collection of movies and to shows to watch because for a couple days you'll not feel up to much because personally for the first three days I was exhausted because I wasn't sleeping well from congestion and then surgery takes a lot out of you.
I hope this helps you get ready for surgery and I hope all goes well for you.

Hello :-) I would advise visiting a few surgeons and getting advice on what could be done to improve your nose. Personally id lay off the pics of a 'perfect nose' as it isnt possible to transform your nose into something completely new, youve got to work with what youve got and im sure you will get a lovely result that will suit you :-) I think having an ideal nose or celeb nose in mind just leads to dissapointment from stories ive seen or read. I went into my surgery with an open mind and asked for mine to be less pointed, less projected and a smaller doral hump. I left it up to him how he thought it was best to do it. Im really happy with my results and im sure you will be too with the right surgeon :-) good luck x

So hideous

Does anyone else take really ugly pictures of themselves to see how hideous they can make their noses look, or is that just mean? Ugh, I want this noise job so bad. :(

Do you think this nose shape is possible?

INeedANewNoseProntoNovember 4, 2015

Do you think this nose shape would be possible on me? I'm not trying to look like a supermodel, but I really like the shape of her nose. It's hard to imagine what my nose could be. I have seen so many great results from other people. I am hoping for the same. Any advice would be welcomed by me. :)

Hi there :)
The first thing the surgeon told me was that they have to work with the nose you have. Therefore if you like a nose, it doesn't you can have it as you have different structure, face shape, thickness of skin etc....I am happy with the fact that my surgeon will make my nose smaller, straighter and finer than what it currently is....you think your nose is bad? Mine is horrendous....lol....good luck with choosing a right surgeon for you.x.

November 15, 2015

November 4, 2015

Most Definitely :)

Unfortunately I have problems with my Sinuses, during my consultation the specialist found a Spur on the upper left side.
Now I'm scheduled for a CT Scan & told it could be possible that I would need surgery to correct/remove the Spur depending on how serious it could potentially be.
I've had problems with my Sinuses for about 19 years, it hurt so much that I ended up in the E.R..
Thinking the worst because it had been 3-4 days that I was in so much pain, my tears were just flowing.
The E.R. Dr. said that my Sinuses were so impacted & putting pressure on brain (terrible headache) also behind my eyes thus causing the swelling of my face.
I've never had issues with my Sinuses before that.
Well, I guess we'll see how it goes.
