For many of our patients, their procedures can be life changing. Sam had some very specific worries that were all based around his nose - if you're reading this article, you may understand some of the feelings.
"It's that constant worry. 'Did you get that photo of me where you're on that side of my face?'"
"When I'm getting married someday... standing at the altar with my nose on the side is something I'm dreading".
Sam kindly spoke to us on the day of his surgery, when he got his cast off, and 8 weeks after. It's amazing to see the positive impact this procedure has had on his life. As he said on the cast-off day:
"This is unbelievable, I can't explain it. I'm so happy, I feel like I need to celebrate!"
Then 8 weeks later...
"I can just walk into places and feel comfortable. I never think 'oh god, did they see me on my bad side?"
"I feel like it was holding me back. People said 'no it's not, it's just a nose'. But no, now I've had it done, I'm free. I feel free. It's an amazing feeling."
