WORTH IT$13,000

I have just discovered this site and it has been incredibly helpful! I have always disliked my nose. I have taken 5+ years to take the plunge. It was always a fantasy for me until I decided I'm never going to stop worrying about it about a year ago.


I had a couple of consultations and researched like crazy. My close family know and my partner will be looking after me, bless him.


I am booked in for surgery 5 weeks away. This is the most nervewrecking thing I have ever done. I can't even imagine what I will feel like on the day.
I feel fairly confident with my surgeon. I like all his work, his opinion on my nose, the computerized images looked good and he has a HUGE amount of experience in Rhinoplasty 25 years +
Will keep you posted!

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf. What do you not like about your nose that you want improved?

The day of surgery will be surreal and odd, but you'll get through it!

Please keep us posted!

Yes It will be quite weird actually getting it finally done after reading about it, researching it and waiting for so long. I can't wait I don't have a hump, it is over projected and is deviated to one side (its not crocked or anything just goes to one side more) and that makes one side look quite bad while the other side not so bad The pic he gave me is soo much more balanced and elegant for my face I really hope it is as close to the pic as possible!

I have sent away all my forms to the hospital and have started gathering supplies
Arnica, q tips, Vaseline, zinc for healing, vitamin c
I will make lots of green smoothies, protein shakes, soups. Also I want to freeze watermelon and pineapple and there pieces of fruit to soothe my throat and as added vitamins. I have those plastic iceblock molds and I am going to pour some pineapple chunks and juice from a can to make iceblocks for a sore throat after surgery ( from the tube, I heard it hurts afterwards)
I will pre freeze vege soups that my bf can pull out of the freezer and heat up for me :)
So excited!!
I haven't heard anything about prescriptions to get before the surgery so I have emailed to check if there is anything like that I need to do.
Does anyone know if taking arnica before surgery is ok? Will it affect bleeding/ clotting?

So..I had the most craziest dream ever.
I dreamt I went in for my surgery all was fine but when I got home I noticed my nostrils split open on the top then all these other incisions I found all around my face as if it was for a face lift. Then I realized there were no stitches made anywhere and my skin was stretching pulling the wounds open and I was running around trying to find duct tape to tape up my face to stop it from falling off.
Gosh it was bad haha but a little bit funny now I think of it
I have the biggest imagination. At school I fainted when the woodworking teacher gave a safety lecture and described all these terrible accidents and I kept visualizing them

despite this crazy dream I am actually getting really excited about the date
