Hi everyone. I have lived for years with a nose that I obsess over and hate and have finally decided to do something about it. What price is it around? I am willing to pay for the best

Hi All

I've been researching the best place to have a blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid surgery) and the lower end of my nose fixed (keloid lump/scar on the left hand side) in the Republic for the past few years now and am none the wiser! 

Can anyone share any advice/experience regarding who/where they found the best?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I am a 23yr old male who is very conscientious about my nose. I have always thought about getting rhinoplasty but never envisaged going ahead with it.

For over 2yrs now I have given it real thought and have come to the conclusion that I do not want to look back and wonder "what if" after carefull consideration and I am now comfortable with going ahead with the procedure.

I have researched the procedure and know all the entailments I am excited about the possible outcome and what effect it could have on my personal and professional lifestyle.

I do have a time frame in when I would like to have this done (feburary 2011). I would like to use this time to chose the right surgeon and attend consultations. I would be grateful if you could suggest possible surgeons and feedback from your own experience. My email address is hillstationrd@yahoo.ie

Thanks

Hi all,

I had closed rhinoplasty in June of last year in a private hospital. I was happy with the surgeon, he was to take away the hump on the bridge and reduce the tip.

Six months later I am left with a gap on the left hand side of my nose, a lump at top of my nose, which isnt obvious, but I am very much aware of it! Also there has been nothing taken of the tip of my nose, which is long.

Last week I went back for a check up, the surgeon said he could put filler in the gap, also he said he did take some cartilage from the tip. I dont see any difference really! The other alternative is he, can do another procedure, he said.

If I went back in June this year, he could treat me as a day case and file down the top bone of my nose, and make the area where there is a dent more even.

What do you think I should do folks? I am not happy with the result, my nose is still huge. I wanted a small nose. I really dont know what to do please, if anyone has any advice or suggestions, please help.

Thank you.

The cosmedico italian doctor has several cases pending against him with the medical council.

http://article.wn.com/view/2009/12/12/Woman_complains_of_surgery_aftercare/

He is supposed to be good at facial surgery. Is cosmedico a fully registered hospital? Do you have the full back up if something went wrong eg: blood transfusions? It is surgery after all.

Also, do keep in mind that there is rarely a perfect result with plastic surgery.

As for fat transfers; they don't work. Eventually your body re-absorbs the fat. It's nonly a temporary (and very expensive solution); despite what the sales people will tell you.

You could try Cosmedico and go to the italian doctor. I had my done there and i am trilled with results. I did hear that the doctor in river medical only does breasts and some form of lipo.

Hi, i got my nose done in 2003 through the harley medical group. The surgeon was Greek with the initials L.C. I absolutely hate the job he did - there is now a bump in the bridge that was never there before and the tip is bulbous. I see he now runs the River Medical group and he also operates from Cosmedico - has anyone else dealt with him? Does anyone have any advice as to where i could get this fixed or surgeons they would recommend? Thanks

Hello all,

My son is very self concious about his nose,to the extent that it is effecting his whole life. His nose appears to be just a little long for his face which is small. he has no lump on it. he is constantly looking at it willing it to shrink. he is just 21 and would not be able to afford the money himself as he is a student.

 We would love to help him but we are afraid that we might not get a good surgeon. please can Lola becky ,michelle or anyone else who has had a positive experience post details of surgeons or clinics that we could contact . many thanks,

Hi I am 26 and had my op done about 5 years ago.  I was left with a deviated septum and had quite bad breathing difficulties.  So I went back to the same place and had a revision surgery done as they told me that it was quite a common occurance.  The shape was not perfect the first time, was good on one side and quite bulbous on the the other and deviate slightly from looking at at straight on.  After the revision surgery everything seemed ok, but I have been left with a "dent" for an easy way of describing it in the centre of my bridge of my nose. I returned to the surgeon, who is classed as one of the best and he explained that my cartilage has been weakened and that there would be nothing he could do.  Gets me very down some days as my profile disgusts me, even though family and friends say they dont notice it, it feels like im back to square 1.  However, I am researching dermal fillers at the moment as I could not face another revision surgery.  If any one has any info on dermal fillers and recommend a clinic, I would be very grateful

Hi all,

I want to get a nose tip refinement done.  I have one nostril tip wider and more turned up than the other.  Normally though I'm conscious of it I'm ok, but recently pictures have made me more paranoid.

I dont feel that this procedure should be as invasive in terms of recovery etc as Rhinoplasty but I have no idea.  I'm just at the begining stages of looking into things and would appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

Caddy

hi there,

I had my rhinoplasty done in Cosmedico. I checked out the surgeons in all the clinics around and it was my Gp who recommended the guy in wicklow. He told me he had seen 2 of this patients who had work with this particular surgeon and it was the best he had seen. On his advice i went there and the surgeon was without doubt the best i had met. He knew exactly what i wanted and there and then I booked in. Had my surgery 2 weeks later and my bump is fixed along with my tip. I heard he is one of the few doing septo-rhino in the country but i only researched dublin so i couldn't be sure. If anyone wants to discuss please email me evahegarty2@gmail.com and i will give them the details. He won't show photos but I can email mine. Definitely worth checking out. The care from the clinic was exceptional so i have no problem recommending them.

Really want to have rhinoplasty to smooth a hump on my nose but am scared off by the "packing" thing, i.e. where they fill your nostrils with gauze and then pull it out the next day. I know two people who have had to have nose surgery due to sinus problems and they said this part was horiffic.

My questions are:

1. If you only want reshaping do they still pack your nose? Or is that only for sinus stuff?

2. What are peoples experiences of this particular part of the procedure? Is it really that bad?

3. Can you have a local to have the gauze pulled out?

4. How much does the surgery cost in Ireland (South Dublin area)?

5. Are there any good surgeons in Ireland or do you recommend going abroad?

Thanks

Hi to all, Just wanta give any1 considering surgery a bit of advice.

I had the op done 18 mts ago, went for a couple of consults, then my GP recomended a 'friend' of his, I trusted my doctor and didnt go with my gut feeling, which was that the surgon was not understanding or listening to what I wanted!!

I never believed id get the perfect nose but i thought id get an improvment,Had the op, was very dissapointed, not noticable at all that I had it done!! it takes a long time to fully get over the surgery, your face feels numb espically ur upper lip and tip of nose, took at least 2 mts for that tingling to eventually go, quiet swollen also and very sensitive if any1 accidently touches it!!

It also is very stressfull emotionally, I broke my nose when i was a child and always hated lookin at myself, it took alot to make the decision to go for the surgery, but now i wish i waited untill i found a surgon that i felt comfortable wit, and that i felt i could trust!!

I dont 100% regret gettin the surgery, but next time ill wait till i find the right surgon!!

Good luck to any1 going for the surgery, hope it works out for you.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and was just wondering if anyone has good information on plastic suregeons in Ireland??? I broke my nose when I was little and ever since it has been a huge issue for me.I was bullied in primary school because of it and it has always affected my self-esteem.My GP put my name on the HSE waiting list to get the surgery done for free and after two years of waiting I finally have an appointment for the 21st of September to see the plastic surgeon.I was just wondering if anyone has been in the same situation?I would really appreciate any information anyone can give me as I don't know what to expect from the consultation and it is really hard to find any good information regarding plastic surgery in Ireland. Also because I may be getting this surgery done publically I am unsure as to what the procedure for consultations are?

Please please help!

Hey,

I think i just need a septoplasty cuz its only my septum that is deviated, due to two football accidents. I intially got it manipulated back into place at the ENT in Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, which didn't work. I am calling tomorrow to get an appointment to get the Septo done. Can anyone tell me if this op is gernerally a success and are there the same complications as Rhinoplasty? Also, is there any better ENT's to your knowledge??

Any info would help as really wanna get the best info before I get it done.

Hey,

I got my nose broken twice in the space in six weeks (ridiculously unlucky). I had it manipulated (pushed) back into place two weeks ago but it was too badly broken so it is still bent. I am hopiing to have an op now to get it straightened as my family are telling me it sounds like I'm talking through my nose also.

Can anyone tell me if my health insurance would cover the op and what places in Dublin are the best?

my e-mail is dobri041@studentmail.dkit.ie
