Rhinoplasty journey - large nose -24 - London, GB

That's exactly how I felt before my rhinoplasty. I felt like I had so many beautiful features such as long lashes, big lips, and nice cheekbones (not to brag LOL) but none of that was obvious because my nose would take all the attention! The nose is in the center of my face and my God was mine huge! I had my rhinoplasty this December 15th and right after the surgery I couldn't even believe how much smaller and better my side profile was (even with the cast on!)

Have u got photos up X

first I wana say youre so pretty either way. I feel the same way about myself though- I feel like I look so good except my nose. I wear heavy eyeliner and hair extensions to draw attention away from it. im tired of being "fake" and I just want to feel like my face is pretty and have more confidence. I like the pic you posted of how you want it to look, I think its a really good fit on you. the part im actually most scared of is getting an IV and anesthesia. I hope your surgery goes well. good luck

how did you get the edited pic? I wanna do the same to see what I would look like. good luck!!

goodluck..in the end it will all worth it

These are the things I've heard are useful:
Neck pillow
Arnica gel and tablets
Bromelain
Biotene mouth spray
Cough/vitamin drops
Straws
Soft foods low in sodium

I'm sure there are other things, I just can't remember at the moment.

Hi I don't live in England but have you considered Lucian Ion he has done some great work...I feel you should have an idea as to what the outcome will look like..bringing down your profile will make your frontal view look different as well..just a thought you have to live with the outcome for the rest of your life...I think you are beautiful either way..but with imaging you can see how you will look and if you like it

Thank you

I went with dr labour too at transform London. Ignore my negative review, 8 months later now that the swelling has gone I love my nose my issues turned out to be due to large amounts of swelling. I was peckish in the night so I had to wonder to the vending machine for sweets, so maybe bring change with you or pack soft nibbles. And a dressing gown I used. Feel free to inbox anything about my experience. My night at the hospital was totally painless because the anaesthetic still effects you I felt great and the packing the nurse took out the next morning I was pretrified but just felt like worms being pulled out just 4 seconds of uncomfort no pain still x

Nasal drops (I think hydrochloride drops) for use after splint removed on end of cotton bud to soften the dried blood around and in nose, travel pillow that goes around your neg I used to sleep with to keep my head straight and higher. I didn't use any pain meds i didn't need it it's the ITCH from the splint that nearly brought me to tears sometimes aha. Face wipes for while splint is on and get a gentle exfoliator for you face for after splint is removed I had so much dead skin peeling off my face because I hadn't washed it properly in a week. And stock up on soft foods like mash potato, Shepards pie etc. And buy and TV guide if you are planning to stay indoors. Try not to let too much steam get on your nose splint when you wash, it will increase the itch on your nose later on in the day from the damp under the splint. That's everything I think :P

Good luck for your surgery :)

Thank you so much x
