20 Years Waiting - Will It All Be Worth It?! Fingers Crossed! - United Kingdom, GB

How exciting! If you are anything like me I toyed with the idea of having my nose done for years and years. I was mostly scared as knew my parents' wouldnt approve! However, once I told them it was also to straighten my septom and might help with breathing (I was always congested) they came around.. So much that my mum now says she really admires me for doing it and they talk about the op as though it was always on the cards and they never had an issue with it, ha! Dont be scared - you'll fall asleep and before you know it you're awake and it has been done! Stock up on some books and films and be prepared for a couple sleepless nights. I was very lucky and my recovery was very straight forward - just the boredom that drove me crazy! Before you know it you'll be 10 months post op like me! You're going to look amazing and you will love your new nose, enjoy!! X

You have such a gorgeous face and fabulous hair. I have no doubt that you will be a total knock-out after your rhinoplasty! Best of luck…I know you will be so happy with the results.

Good luck & please keep us updated .

So excited for you! It has been so overwhelming for me with the constant research as I finally feel brave enough to do so, but apprehensive at the same time when I read botched reviews! What surgeon did you decide upon? How exciting as it will be in the next couple weeks! Sending you love, light and energy for the surgery. Cheers!

Hey Marley! Love your hair!! You will be stunning with your new nose! So glad you decided to proceed with Mr Tahery, he is a star!!

You look beautiful, who is your surgeon? I have same nose as you and I thought I was the only one trying hard for certain angels for pics! Hate to have a pic tajen from front!

Get some hand sanitising gel to carry in your purse everywhere, to prevent getting any nasty infection. Buy some really nice soft tissue for when you get back home, I used about two boxes of Klinex. Buy more saline solution once you get it and know the brand. I wouldn't recommend strong green tea, maybe something like spearmint, to calm your nerves? May be worth buying dry shampoo or those dry hair wash caps, and cleansing wipes. Leave all jewellery at home. Organise your "nest" at home in advance (I basically converted my sofa into a bed for a week, so I could sleep upright) so you can get comfortable right when you get back. And take some proper "before" photos, so you have something to compare your results with. And don't worry about anything, you are in great hands, and if you don't stress yourself out for no reason (like I did with all the "but what if" thoughts) it will be a very exciting experience!

Oh yeah, and do a proper good cleansing facial day before surgery, your face will get all nasty with all the tape and cast, cleaning it deep in advance may save you from getting an acne break out!

Get pineapple juice! I started drinking it the day before surgery & all throughout as well as taking pineapple & papaya enzymes & I literally had like no bruising or facial swelling. I had a tiny patch of yellow under my right eye for the first 2 days post op then I was back to normal! That stuff works miracles!!
