Rhinoplasty with the Rhinoplasty King Dr Ion. United Kingdom, GB

Firstly please excuse me punctuation, my brick Samsung galaxy note doesn’t really like me and my fingers are not long enough to reach some letters whilst holding the phone in a particular way
I have been searching for a surgeon who is an artist and a perfectionist, I had a consultation with the Harley Medical Group last year and I was told my surgeon would be Mark Solomos. From seeing his before and afters at my consultation I was really not happy with the before and afters, I personally felt that his work usually has no definition on the nose and sometimes aren’t as smooth as I would like (if that makes sense)

I found Lucian Ion after reading someones review on Real Self so I have to say a BIG THANK YOU to RealSelf

I had a consultation with Dr Ion on Wed 30th for Rhinoplasty. I have to say this man is a gentleman, extremely charming, and has a charisma about him I felt at ease straight away

He first took a close look at my nose and the septum and to see how my breathing was. He also looked at the skin surrounding the nose, I was told my being Asian our skin is thin which is a good thing
He then took some photos of different angles, facing straight on, 45 degrees, one to the side, one smiling and one just normal side. I was asked what I my concerning areas were and what I was expecting. While I was talking Dr Ion was was morphing my picture and came to a result very similar to a chap on realself with the username Green838 (I think) Although I did like the morph and really suited me It is not the nose I have dreamt to have. I then asked Dr Ion for making the nose more feminine (the reason for choosing this was because believe it or not but the most desirable male faces have feminine features)
Once this was shown to me I was really happy with it. Dr Ion didn’t mention if it suited my face or not – he also mentioned that the best noses have a sharp triangle angle on the tip but not everyone will suit this

He told me about the procedure and what I can expect, and about revision if necessary. Asian noses have a tendency to be flat and need extra cartilage support. In a year the cartilage can soften and make the nose less angular so he makes sure there is enough support and will monitor every few months.

I have been given a date of 12 December which is a Saturday at the Weymouth Hospital, I have a final consultion on 26/11/2015 with Dr Ion to give him my thoughts on the morph and final decisions

I Showed my family the morphs and they hated it, my sister thinks it makes me look like an Asian Caitlyn Jenner, my work colleagues hate it and thinks its too curvy and sharp, my little brother hates it with a passion…let me know what you guys think.
I do have quite a feminine face anyway, long eye lashes, kinda big lips and maybe a feminine nose will make me look like a tranny with muscles.

I've don't it!!!'my surgery was at 11 and I'm super drowsy while writing this . So everyone hated my morph but dr ion said my nose looks very close to my morph

Hi sorry I didn't update since my surgery but I was incredibly uncomfortable - swollen face including my cheeks,jaw,gums and the list goes on. Sleep has been awful since breathing through the mouth when you sleep is quite hard...there were many moments where my tongue pretty much turned into a dried statue.....lip balm and straws and water will be your best friend

Anyway I met the lovely Rosie today who is Dr Ions nurse...I've told her about the reviews of her on this site so she did make me promise to write something nice. (I was going to anyway) very down to earth and is definitely a person I would be friends with we really got on like a house on fire. She complimented my lashes eye and big lips (although my mouth,lips and jaw are still very
Much swollen)

Removing the splints wasn't that bad actually but removing the stitches was awful and painful tears were running through my face (not as in crying) but in pain. It's all worth it though because you can finally breathe and taste again it's actually amazing.

My sister saw my nose first and said it was incredible how natural it looks when I finally saw it I was actually more shocked how swollen and wide my nose looked (dr ion told me this in my consultation) the profile is just beautiful but need to calm the swelling down . I'm lucky I'm not bruised I'm just very swollen. Can't wait to see how it looks over next few weeks. I am missing the gym so badly but will not risk anything jeopardising my new nose. Here is the video of the splint removal and also some pictures taken

Also my nostrils haven't heeled properly so I have neen prescribed some further medication for healing the nostrils
