Thought I'd give a quick update. It's all going well, I had an annoying time breathing until about two weeks ago, then I had a cold last week and now I seem almost back to normal! It still feels a bit numb on the tip and a little tender on the bridge. I'd love if the tip went down just a little bit further but, in general I'm really happy, feel I've had a subtle change so it still looks like my nose!

I've had my cast and stitches removed ( was more nervous about that than the op! It was totally fine though!) and today was my first day at home. I'm feeling great aside from feeling so congested and almost completely breathing through my mouth still! That and the boredom of recovering alone has been the most difficult part of the while experience. Getting to the clinic every morning and chatting to the other lovely patients was my daily highlight! The city is great, loads of shops and restaurants though if you're happy to wander around in a nose cast!
I'm really happy with my results. The new nose is the exact subtle change I wanted ( I know it's still swollen so I hope it doesn't change from this too much!). If I get get my nose breathing back and the last of my black eye gone, the result will be perfect!

Hey! Thanks for doing a review :) I'm going over in August, and I'm from Ireland too! Were you over in your own? I'm getting very nervous as it gets closer! Even though I've been researching Adam for years and feel good about him. How are you feeling about the results now? Xx

Hey! Yep I did head over on my own. I thought it'd be hard to ask someone to take time off to come with me and I wasn't sure whether I'd be up to doing much. I'm happy enough that I did go alone actually, I'm fine with my own company! Haha. I would say though, if you are on your own, make sure you take plenty of books and stuff to watch as I got soooooo bored! There's loads of good shopping and a lovely market square with restaurants and cafes too.
I totally understand being nervous, I was too, I got picked up at the airport and kept thinking what have I done! But, you know, you've organised it all and then you just go through it one step at a time. Things are so organised and matter of fact at the clinic on the day, I think it really eased my nerves.
I'm really pleased with the results, my change isn't huge but that's all I wanted. Loads of people I didn't tell haven't noticed a thing but the angle I hated is fine now! It's boosted my own confidence so much. I think I probably have some swelling left, my tip feels numb and my breathing isn't back to normal yet but bizarre as it sounds it was an easy process and I'm happy I did it!
If you've any other questions before you go or while you're there or after, ask away! But all the very best either way!!

Thanks so much for getting back. I know I'm a bit scared going alone but I'm usually fine on my own so I'm just going to keep myself distracted with books and movies

Everyone who goes seems to say that it's all very well organised so that sounds great! I'm so excited at this stage. Weirdly I think the nerves are kind of disappearing a bit but I can imagine the week of it I'll be freaking out! Thanks so much for all you're information! Hope you're recover is going well :) xx

All done! Arrived in Poland on Sunday morning and headed to the clinic first thing on Monday. During my consultation we discussed narrowing my bridge and tip but that my profile was already straight. I was the first surgery of the day so was out before I knew it and back in the room about an hour and a half later. I was sharing with another girl who was also in for rhinoplasty. I am so surprised by how much I've bruised and swollen so really hoping it clears soon! I feel reasonably good, kind of stuffy and my nose is a little tingly and face is tight from the swelling.
