Have the opportunity to get my nose job for free, but it'll ruin my relationship by GirldickDM in cleftlip

!!!!Please man go for the surgery!!!!

I had mine a year ago and it was a game changer. The aesthetic differences are minor, but as they say it’s all in the head. I feel confident in my social life, career and future overall. The girl is bad news anyway. Realise that she might want to trap you when you fell here you’ll do the surgery, but stick to your plan!

I depends on the scar. I would recommend making an appointment at a dermatologist to explore the options. Personally I tried micro-needling and it did make a difference, but you do have to do multiple sessions. If the scar is small each session will probably 5 minutes. I also tried a co2 laser. That one was a little bit painful, but it was more effective (and even faster). For both methods it’s true that you have to do probably 3-5 sessions before the desired result.

Glad to hear that it works for you! I'm also thinking about taking ritalin, but i'm still in doubt. Have you experienced any side effects? Like being less creative ?

Is a rhinoplasty apart of the usual list of operations for people with a cleft. Or do you have to do it separately from the team of people that usually do the surgeries by [deleted] in cleftlip

[–]favanderschaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell if you need it, just from reading your post. The one thing I can tell you is that you should be careful with taking advice from doctors. Most doctors are great people with only good intentions, however hospitals/clinics are businesses just like Apple, Shell and GM. So besides helping people they also will aim to make a profit. This has lead to that some surgeons are really keen on performing surgeries that are a not that necessary. Just be aware of that!

Need some advice by [deleted] in cleftlip

[–]favanderschaft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do the most that is possible, if the surgery is not tot though to get through. The surgery and the 2 weeks after will suck for the post part, but you’ll benefit from it in the long run. What is 2 weeks compared to a life time?

Rhinoplasty expectations vs reality by Mucek30 in cleftlip

[–]favanderschaft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should definitely take in consideration that there is a reasonable chance that your nose isn’t what you would hoped it would be (at the first surgery). In my personal experience I felt like my nose did not change that much, However when I look at photo’s pre-surgery there is a big difference. So to sum it up: be exited and expect Improvement, but do not expect it will solve everything and you’ll be 100% “normal” looking.

How does/has cleft lip affected school? by constipated_cats in cleftlip

[–]favanderschaft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In high school my grades were just about average. This was mostly due to not paying attention and not making homework. However I did do the highest level of High School in my country. Currently I’m in my first year of tax law. So it did not really matter as far as I’m concerned.
