Rhinoplasty at MYA London with MR Gonschior 22nd NOV

Hello everyone,

I wanted to have nose reshaping for a long time now. I decided to go with MYA because of their fantastic reputation and stories I had heard. When i done research on forums here i couldnt find any advice on rhinoplasty, although many of you girls helped by comforting me about the anaesthetic, so i wanted to write something here to reassure anyone about nose surgery, or just the surgery process as a whole.

I was admitted on sunday at the Highgate hospital, and i was suprisingly calm as everything there looks modern and rather like a hotel really! I also had a friend with me who helped to keep me focused. The nurses there were great in getting me prepared and were happy and bubbly which also helped with nerves.
When it was time to go to theater i was nervous because i had never been knocked out before. The nurses who took me down were wonderful, they could see i was scared and were great at getting my attention changed! The anaethesist was really kind and funny and before i knew it i was asleep. It was weird because i remember being put to sleep then next minute i woke up! all done! my throat was a bit sore and my lips and mouth were dry cos i had to breathe thru my mouth but that was probably the worst bit!

I was off my nut chatting rubbish for a bit but that soon wore off. i was back in my room ready to recover with my friend who helped me get water etc. I would say that although u feel fine immediately, it is important to rest and sip water for a bit as this helps you not feel sick. Also try to eat as soon as possible as that balances you back in the real world. It was great having my friend there becasue i was a bit spaced out so you might want to bring someone to help you get water and stuff. However the nurses Thula and Christine, who looked after me were charming, sweet, and so so kind i felt bad asking them for things because she looked after me like a celebrity! I have to say all the staff at the Highgate are wonderful ,everyone smiles and says hi to you.

My surgeon, Mr Gonschior came to check on me before the op to explain again and discuss what i wanted, he was great at letting me explain one final time and i felt like he had empathised with what i wanted really well as he has been so careful to listen to me since my first consultation. When i came back round he immediately came to check on me and he reassured me everything was fine, but i knew that anyway becasue i was lucky enough to have a gut feeling that i wanted him to do my surgery from the start! If anyone is thinking of surgery with him, I say based on my experience go for it! He is so nice, lets you explain things properly, understands you, and he executed my surgery with finesse and detail. Nothing about my dressing or bruising is messy! he even came again in the morning before i left to say bye and check on me. What a star.

I am now at home recovering but i cannot believe that there is no pain whatsoever! it feels like this has been such an easy ride i cant wait to see the results! My consultant at MYA Nadja Collin has been wonderful too, checking on me day to day and she answered all my concerns wonderfully from pre to post op! there is always some one to help if you need it, but I found it is important to have friends and family to support you, because the messages and phonecalls help you keep your mind off it and focused on the future.

I hope people find this useful and help them to make themselves amazing!
please ask any questions that i havent answered for you guys as i want to give something back like the wonderful forumettes on here did for me!
