Rhinoplasty with Dr Pincock, Sydney

Hello everyone! I can remember knowing I hated my nose since I was in year 6 (I am now 24) and it just got worse as the years went on. I have a large hump and bulbous tip and my nose is too wide for my face. At school if anyone wanted to say something mean to me it would be about my nose. I can remember trying to position myself as to not be side on to anyone and would always try to not sit side on against walls as I could see how big my nose was in my shadow. I would sit in my room constantly taking photos side one just to see what others were seeing.. And I hated it. As I have gotten older I have not been so obsessed however I do think about it daily and when ever I meet anyone new I always think they will be thinking "omg look at her nose" and of course I hate photos being taken side on. I'm not looking for perfection I am just looking for a nose that is more feminine to suit my face and I think now is the perfect time to finally look how I invision myself in my head before I look in the mirror! I am going to keep a blog on my progress and hopefully it will be useful for someone else!

So I had my first consultation with Dr Pincock on Tuesday. He was running late but was very apologetic. Straight away I felt comfortable with him. He asked me what I was wanting to achieve and I told him a bit of my story. He wasn't judgemental or pushy and let me say what I wanted to say. He then checked inside my nose to see if there was any blockages etc but my nose is pretty straight so didn't seem to be any issues. He then took photos from every angle of my face (I hated this part as a lot of you would understand) he then showed me on my photo what he thinks I was wanting to achieve by using computer imaging. He explained what would be needed to be done to make my nose suit my face- he was very honest and wasn't telling me i needed more than what I wanted done. It was amazing to see the change on the screen but at first I was thinking it looked weird being so small and with out the hump (weird I know) this was the profile side as well so I wasn't exactly used to seeing myself from that angle but the more I looked the more I liked what I saw. He then showed me what it would look like front on and this is when I got very excited my eyes started to well up and if I could have gotten the op then and there I would have. Dr Pincock wasn't pushy at all, he seems very knowledgable, could answer every question I had with our hesitation and didn't sugar coat anything. He also let me know some other surgeons he would suggest if I didn't go with him however he hoped I would as he believes he will be able to give me a great outcome which I believe so I have booked in to get my op done on the 27/072015! So far so good :)

I also wanted to add that before I saw Dr Tobias I did a consult with another Dr. He did not specialise in noses and does everything from boob jobs to lip injections- when I met with him I did not feel a connection and he tried to tell me that I needed a chin implant as well (when I told dr Tobias this he was shocked) he also didn't seem to listen to what I wanted and kept suggesting a "ski jump nose" which is not what I wanted and he could not show me computer imaging of before and afters.

The meeting with dr Tobias was completely different he didn't try to up sell me and he even suggested other Drs that he believes would be good if I didn't go with him, I also explained I still wanted to look like me just with a few changes and I felt he knew exactly what I was talking about. He was honest, friendly, knowledgable with out being cocky and seemed very genuine!
