I Had a Rhinoplasty in Toronto

I had a rhinoplasty in November, 2020, in Toronto. Follow my journey throughout the whole process, from researching and meeting with surgeons to recovering from the procedure. I video-journaled the whole way through, so you will get to see my emotions, challenges, and successes in real time throughout.

If you’re on my blog then you already know this, but just to reiterate: I am not a medical professional and this is not intended to be taken as medical advice. This video is a short reflection on my experience as a patient getting rhinoplasty surgery by a plastic surgeon in Toronto. This video is in no way intended to convince you of plastic surgery.

In my rhinoplasty video diary you will see:

• There are different types of rhinoplasties, so what did I have done?

• How I broke my nose

• The emotions behind it, and getting my family on board

• Research, and determining the best surgeon for me

• Preparing for surgery

• Securing allergy-safe, compounded medications

• Mental toughness, facing fear and anxiety

• After-care

• Allergic reaction

• Bullying and self confidence

• Am I happy with the result?

• Where I'm at now...

5 Month Rhinoplasty Check-in!

It has been 5 months since my rhinoplasty (septoplasty and trubinate reduction) and I have received so many questions about what the process is really like, so I made this video to address everything.

In my 5 month rhinoplasty check-in you will see:

• How my eczema flared up and why

• The reality of recovering from a rhinoplasty - I did not look like myself for months

• The brief garbage-y nose smell during healing

• The weird feeling on my eyes for the first few days of surgery

• My level of facial sensitivity

• Was I nervous?

• How did I choose a surgeon?

• The level of downtime I required

• What expectations did I set for myself? What did I think my face would look like after the surgery?

• Can I now breathe through both nostrils?

• and more!
