Have rhinoplasty booked Sept 4th with Dr Shahidi in Chatswood. I'm really nervous but also excited - this is something I've wanted since i can remember. Sometimes I think I'm being silly and it's only until you actually book the surgery that you start to think "is my nose really that bad??". Anyway, any advice, tips, etc are welcome [RS bleep]

When you have a strong nose it will be a shock to have a smaller nose - even if subtle. Mine was subtle and I actually still miss the length a little, but the bulbous tip is gone yay!! My advice to you would be to think carefully about the end result you desire. In my opinion (but hey - who the ff am I?), I think the morph profile looks a little too upturned. Not sure you will be happy with that. Make sure you discuss the width of your nose after surgery. When removing a hump, your nose will look wide if the doc doesn't take steps to narrow it. Good luck!!

Thanks for the feedback. I see what you are saying and there are things I like about my nose such as the narrow width (partly due to hump though) and I am concerned that these things I like will go! Its such a tough decision sometimes and im concerned ill ask my surgeon to be too subtle out of fear and regret it after... lots to consider!!

Hi! You are already so pretty! I kind of agree with hottwater324. Just be sure to ask your doctor a ton of questions and really tell him what you want! Don't be afraid to speak up. Good luck, I'll be following your story! xo

Oh thank you! I have uploaded the worst possible pics of nose so it looks bigger than it actually is but I see what you guys mean it is a huuuge difference in the morph. I have a list of questions for my final consult haha and really nice to get others opinions so thank you. Hope recovery is going well for you xx

Hello! Thanks for starting your review here. I cannot wait to see watch (read!) how your story unfolds. You are such a gorgeous and petite young woman, and yes like me, your nose doesn't fit you. I hope you get exactly what you want from this surgery. Take heaps of photos & video before so you can compare after its done. All the best gorgeous girl!!

Ohhh you are too kind!! Thank you for such beautiful words. I'm super excited.. 7 weeks to go.. will definitely keep everyone posted. Thank you for your comment and I hope you are enjoying every second of your new nose!

Hi Stephanie, you are so incredibly beautiful, just the way you are! I love your nose! You have such a chiseled face with those strong cheekbones. You have a certain sweetness, and if your morph is an indication, that will be brought out even more. Such a gorgeous girl! Keep us posted.

Oh my word! What a lovely comment! I just read it to my partner and he actually had tears in his eyes, haha! You are so sweet to say such beautiful words to me. Thank you so much. I hope you are loving your new nose you look amazing!!! (and please start some sort of other blog for me... and the other girls who loved your writing... to read!).

I love that! Do glad he was, and you were also, touched! I am so busy, but I am also, at times, a procrastinator, so I'm willing to blog if you're willing to read. What sorts of things do you like to read? I've never started a blog, but it's probably time to.

So glad, not "Do glad." Android keyboard + not allowed to wear glasses and hurled my contacts to the ground muttering "get this **** out of my eyes" = typos.

You are so pretty, and I am sure you will look as pretty after the surgery :) Excited to follow your journey! Good luck :)

Oh thank you :) That is very generous considering some of my pics, haha. You should post a review, it's very liberating and all the comments make you feel so good about your decision! x

You are already pretty, and you'll look gorgeous after surgery. :) Just wanted to say good luck. And also my nose is kind of like yours, so I'll be following your story. ;D

Thanks Toast! I had a look at your review - I think our faces will be a lot more feminine after surgery and we will be really happy xx

OOoo you are very pretty, and going to be gorg after surgery. I actually like your current nose, but I completely understand you wanting to have a smoother look. Can't wait to see :)))

Hi Stephanie! Your review caught my eye because we have the same name. :) I am currently in my recovery stage... Day 3. I have a list of "supplies" and food that have really helped me through the process on my Rhinoplasty review. Check it out, hopefully you will find some useful tips and pointers. The next few weeks will FLY by! I'm excited for you! All the best!

LOL I can't believe you created swelling with photoshop... that's a first! You're already so pretty and your new nose will make you even more so! Since I just went through this process (and am still in the healing stages!), let me know if you have any questions! I tend to respond to inbox messages faster than comments!

Haha I know im mental but im seriously so anxious about looking in the mirror and seeing a fat swollen nose so trying to mentally prepare! Thank you so much :) will stop by xx
