Jimmybump

A freind got one done i no off no pics but he was very happy with the result. His nose was all over the place as he had injured himself pretty badly when younger they made it straight an got rid of a bump he had on it. Not sure on prices or anything of that nature but yeah he was happy with the results.

word of warning, I have assisted in a few of these procedures (im a nurse) and they are a lot more invasive then some people think! One patient for example, part of her rib was removed, then it was filed down and basically inserted into the nasal cavity to change the shape! This in itself was fairly awful. The surgeon then used a small hammer like instrument to fix it into place!:eek: While the rib was being removed her lung was punctured so this was an extra trauma for her post op. I know people get this procedure when they have medical reasons but just be wary of it if it is just for cosmetic reasons, its not as routine as some websites would advertise it to be

Oh come on - that is in no way representative of cosmetic rhinoplasty!

Maybe if you'd been in a car crash/fight/done so much cocaine your septum rotted away then a surgeon would have to harvest bone from elsewhere, but most cosmetic rhinoplasty involves breaking and resetting or shaving off bone.

Have you ever been in theatre assisting in a rhinoplasty??? well i have and that is exactly what happened when a lady came in for a cosmetic rhinoplasty!!! And i have seen it happen a few times as standard procedure for cosmetic rhinoplasty!

If you're a nurse then surely you can enlighten us to what the procedure was called and why it was needed, then?

if you must know it was an endonasal rhinoplasty and she went for the surgery for cosmetic reasons!

anyway getting back to the purpose on my post to Hman09, the surgery is not always as routine as people think so be sure to do a lot of research before you make any decisions, best of luck whatever you decide to do!:)

would it be more straight forward if it was only your nostrils that bothered you? I'm perfectly happy with my nose in profile, but I would like my nostrils made smaller? Is this possible?

Yes but it will leave some scarring in the folds of the nostrils. Here's an example: http://www.plasticsurgery4u.com/procedure_folder/rhinoplasty_asian_nostril.html

Be very careful about getting a nose job in Ireland, I don't think there are any ENT specialists. There are 3 great surgeons (am doing my research for myself too) in the UK, Bassim Matti, Julian Rowe Jones and Ian Mackay (expensive but worth it as the amount of people who get nose jobs that go wrong and then have to pay for a revision is enormous). Check out http://www.lookyourbestuk.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=8

There are quite a few Irish people on there who have had jobs done here and also who are travelling to the UK.

Good luck.

Of course there are!Our health service is bad but not that bad!
If I was getting a nose job done then I would only go to an ENT surgeon who works in a public or private hospital.
I wouldnt touch advanced cosmetic surgery or any other of those places with a barge pole.

Saying all that I would never get a nose job. As mentioned earlier in this thread it is a very unecessary, invasive, dangerous procedure. You are breaking the bone of your nose, one of the only two instruments in your body you can breath through. I dont know about everyone else but breathing is pretty darn important in my life so I wouldnt want to do anything that would jepordise my ability to inhale oxygen.
Secondly, I like the way people have all different noses,big, small, hooked, button, crooked etc etc. Everyone who has rhinoplasty comes out with the same generic 'cute' nose which If we all had the world would be such a boring place.

SuperTyper

I meant a very good specialist for rhinos, lots of Irish people have had rhinos done and then had to pay to have revisions, its a very important op and you should have the best possible surgeon (IMO).

If you ain't interested in nose jobs, why post. Am sure OP is not interested in whether you would have a nose job:rolleyes:

Chocoholic84

Yep, I have, got it done 2 years ago. Was very happy with the result! Got it done with ACS. Never liked my nose, there was always a bump on it, so finally decided to take the plunge. I did have to take 2 weeks off work, and even then my face was a tiny but swelled...you would need to give it a good 6 wks at least for it to go back to normal! I took Arnica tablets for the swelling which helped alot.

The actual procedure? Well, I'm not sure, as I was knocked out It was my first time under general anaesthetic, and I was freakin out about if I woke up during the op But of course that didn't happen! I think it took about an hour.

I stayed in hospital overnight, and went home next day...bear in mind, you will more than likely look like u were in a car crash!!

Had to go back for 3 monthly check-ups...best thing I've ever done

i had my nose done in nov 08 i had wat dey call roman nose, meaning from the side it had a bump. it cost me 4,700. my nose is perfectly straight now n i am extrem pleased with the results it was def worth it!!! will try get a pic up 4 u!!!

SprostonGreen

I had my nose broken in a fight years ago. I went to the GP he eventually got me on a waiting list to get a rhinoplastly. Didnt cost me a red cent, really pleased with, although all they did was put it back into its origninal shape.

TonyRomo

Worst decision i ever made in my life was getting cosmetic surgery. They dont give **** about you. Ireland is leap years behind some of the ones in UK, France, US, and Australia.

Hi all,

anyone thinking of getting it done in Ireland dont!! ive had a horrible year and a half all because i was too hung up in my appearance. I rushed into my decision to get it done although i mite add i picked a reputable clinic that is here and in england!! my first operation was a disaster. what was ment to happen was the removal of the bump on the bridge and refinement of my large tip! what resulted was a narrow tip that was longer on one side then the other and alot of hard cartridge aroud the tip. I finally went back after realising how bad it was from looking at alot of pictures of myself. My mam came with me and i just cried the whole time, i could barely look at anyone. He asked me to go away and think about exactly what i wanted and come back in a month..this did not help me obviously. I returned a bit more composed this time and told him again exactly what was wrong and he agreed that he would preform a revision on the tip. altho there is an improvement since this in Dec 08 the last month it has started to change more and more and im back to my self conscious self. one side goes straight, other side turns toward the tip, the nostrils are different sizes and the worst is that one side has cartridge that is pushing up and is indented which has resulted in one side higher than the other. I went back to my surgeon who says oh well everyones nostrils is different, no ones nose is the same on both sides.. im distraught. The reason im posting my long story is a warning to everyone out there thinking of getting this procedure done. Its not something that should be taken lightly and if you can please just be happy with what you have and think about what would happen if it went wrong like my case. If i had done my through research besides the doctors, clinics (like these sites) i dont think i would of gone ahead with it all, i would of got rid of the bump maybe but left my long straight big tip alone!

be happi with what you have!!

Hey guys, well i've done my research on over 100 different places and surgeons and I believe I have found my place. Its in prague of all places. Ill be getting it done in the next few months, ill let you know how it goes!

Wish me luck

SuperTyper

Is it Laderma by any chance?

sinead81

I got a price last year, just need to have the bump shaved and it was E4000. I just need to get the money from somewhere now and try save for it.... I am so nervous of getting it done though, i would much prefer to get it done in a normal hospital you know, can anyone recommend some good/reputable places???? In ireland, I dont think my nerves would hold up in a foreign hospital!

SuperTyper

This is a great website, with loads of information about surgeons/hospitals from people who have researched and experienced rhinoplasty.

http://www.lookyourbestuk.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=8&sid=35dff67802af0a897b7548a56aedec38

Lots of Irish girls on there who can help you. Good luck.

Hi - just got back from Prague and I was shocked to see alot of men and women in the airport with their bandages over their noses after having nose jobs, alot of men as well.

It seems to be the place to go so, good luck and hope it works out for you.

Hi, have just had mine done and am black and blue and swollen like a balloon. Can't wait to see what it looks like with the cast off. Will post back in a few weeks with results if you like. OP, feel free to pm me if you like.

To the "nurse" who assisted in a rhinoplasty and stood by and let the surgeon open the patients chest !!! wtf!? You and the surgeon should both be struck off, are you nuts? :eek: Did you not know the difference between a nose and a chest??

As for the ENT coments, FYI, ENT Docs cannot cosmetically fix a nose. You will need a cosmetic surgeon for this.

The only thing i specified with my surgeon was that he did not touch the tip, I've watched too many makeover shows and they all came out with Michael Jackson fake nose tips.

sinead81

hi nightflight! do you mind me asking you where you got it done? I really want to get a move on and get it done. Your exactly like me, I dont want them to touch my tip either, just the bump. I dont want to look "different" if you know what i mean...

NightFlight

PM'd you sinead81 in case I'm not allowed name names oon Boards. New to this forum.

Hi,
Could someone please recommend me a good rhinoplastic surgeon in Ireland. Would really appreciate it if you could send me some sound advice (no time wasters please!) [SNIP]

Michellenman

Probably best to remove your email there. People can pm you with the details

mood

To be honest I would go to someone in the US or UK. I think you would find someone who has specialised in this procedure for a longer time.

powderplume

to mood,
Thanks for your reply. Is the surgery not done well here? I would love to hear more about your experience with this procedure.

mood

I have no experience but there was a program on in the past year or so about the lack of regulation of cosmetic clinics here. Doctors leaving the clinic before the patient even wakes up etc.

I feel the cosmetic surgery industry is relative new in Ireland. If it was me I would want a doctor who is experienced and maybe even specialises in nose jobs. I think someone like that might not exist in Ireland. Maybe I'm wrong.

SuperTyper

I agree, I'm researching a nose job for myself and am on www.lookyourbestuk.com/forum in the Rhinoplasty section, there is great advice on there. The top surgeons in the UK are Bassim Matti, Ian Mackay and Julian Rowe-Jones. I'm considering Matti and Mackay.

There are some great success stories but some real horror ones too. One thing I know for sure is that I would not use a cosmetic company for my nose job. I defo want the best and I dont want to be paying twice, the second time for a revision (very common!).

Anyway, good luck with your research.

I have removed your email address. If people want to contact you they can send you a private message.

Gosh
Is there noone in Ireland that specialises in rhinoplastic surgery?

SuperTyper

Of course there are Irish surgeons who perform rhinos. I would seriously recommend you read http://www.lookyourbestuk.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=8 There are a few Irish girls on there who have had surgery and a few who are currently researching surgeons.

My brother got his nose done in a clinic in Clane. He had always been very self conscious about the bump on it. It looks great now though, not a sign of a bump and very natural looking. The surgeon did a great job on it. My brother has a lot more confidence in himself now.

On a sidenote, I think if something is really getting you down and interfering with your confidence and ultimately your quality of life, then by all means go for the change - just make sure you do your research and find a reputable place!

powderplume

Thanks for that. ill check out the youtube video

powderplume

sorry meant lookyourbest site

Hi SprostonGreen
I found a directory with ENT specialists in it. Here is the link. It would be great if you could have a quick look and see if the specialist that did your procedure is in there. Thanks

Mr Colreavy - Berkely Road in Phibsboro, his the "head" ENT surgeon in Mater/Mater Private, he done my sinuses and to be quite frank was brilliant, not sure if he would do cosmetic surgery though. His not cheap either!

Thanks very much. I'll give that surgeon a call and take it from there

I had my rhinoplasty done here in Ireland and am very happy with the result. Wish I 'd had the courage to have it done sooner, I might have had some nice photos of me on big occasions instead of hiding every time I saw a camera!

Ah sure it will be grand.

Hey LC,
If its something that bothers you, you should deffinitly go and visit a doctor that has experience in rhinoplasty.
I had a roman shaped nose and had my nose done 3yrs ago and it was the best thing i ever did, it was around 4,500 which is fairly expensive, but well worth it in my opionion!

Yeah. I dunno. I think Im gonna first try and lose weight Ive gained and then re-evaluate. Maybe if I lose weight off my cheeks or tone them up, my nose wont bother me so much ?
Damn weight. Terrified of botched nose jobs and all. But sure, Ill try and lose weight and if it still bothers me, I'll definately consider it cause it does annoy me

Hi,

Did you get your nose done at Laderma? How did it go? I'm planning on going there myself in the next few months, sounds like the place to go.
