Scroll down for video . Sharing is caring: Rhiannon Langley is posting her cosmetic surgery experience on social media through pictures and videos . Influencer: The 24-year-old from Melbourne has 189,000 followers on Instagram . The 24-year-old hairdresser has an almost 200,000-strong following on Instagram alone, and is keeping each of them updated while she undergoes Rhinoplasty in Thailand. Miss Langley is currently in Bangkok recovering at a hotel post-surgery, but has remained active on her social media accounts, posting videos on Snapchat and sharing snaps on Instagram. She informed her followers of her impending surgery via the latter one week ago. 'I've always wanted this since I was a lot younger, and I decided why not, if it makes me happy and improves my self esteem then I'm doing it!' she wrote. 'Yes plastic surgery is a controversial thing to do but this is my life and it's something I've wanted to do for so long and especially before my wedding.' Post-op selfie: Langley is currently in a Bangkok hotel recovering from surgery, but has remained active on social media . Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia from her hotel in Bangkok, Miss Langley explained her motivation for going public further. 'I have quite a big following on social media and I don't want to lie about it,' she said. 'I think people are more accepting of the decision if you own it. 'I've seen so many other girls on social media get things done and then try and hide it. 'I have been a bit scared about getting negative feedback,' Rhiannon added, revealing that she kept hitting 'refresh' on her phone to read the comments coming through after she posted the announcement on Instagram. A little off here, and here: Rhiannon revealed to Daily Mail Australia that her makeover will not be a subtle one, with changes being made to the shape and length of her nose . Holiday with a side of hospital: Rhiannon's $5,190 'Bangkok Nose Job' package included a stay in a Phuket beach hotel . Bedside view: Langley has been updating her followers with hospital snaps and post-op video messages . 'They've all been really positive and supportive though. Obviously you get a few weird comments, but it's been a lot better than I expected.' She also revealed to DMA that the results of the surgery will be 'quite drastic,' with changes made to the shape and length of her nose. But the true results won't show for another six months, when post-surgery swelling has gone down completely. Miss Langley wanted to share her experience with her followers, having found no one in her friendship circle to turn to for guidance on what the surgery and recovery would be like. 'None of my friends have had nose jobs, so I was searching on the Internet and couldn't find anything useful,' she said. 'I'm owning my decision': Rhiannon says  that she decided to be honest rather than hiding it from her followers . 'So I decided to post about my experience, post photos, share how I feel, how I look, and what I've gone through.' Miss Langley is sharing videos and pictures day-by-day on her Snapchat and Instagram accounts respectively, and is planning blog posts as well as filming a video diary throughout her 'journey'. The trip to Thailand started out as a relaxing beach holiday for Langley and fiancé Jody Abrahams, before the couple travelled to Bangkok for the surgery. Her sunny vacation snaps and videos have been replaced with confronting, raw glimpses of Langley in recovery, sporting a swollen face and bruised purple eyes. Nuptials: Langley says her Thailand medical tourism package holiday was financially motivated, as she cannot afford surgery in Australia with her upcoming wedding to fiancé Jody (pictured) to pay for . Rhiannon says her motivation to take her surgery overseas was financially motivated. 'The price difference [between Australia and Thailand] is huge,' she told DMA. 'I'm getting married in a year, so I couldn't afford to have the surgery in Australia.' Her trip to Thailand is a $5,190 'Bangkok Nose Job' package with CosMediTour. The Medical Tourism Agency has confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that while they have assisted the social media influencer with finding accommodation, Langley paid the full rate for her surgery package. The packages include four to five star accommodation and meals, as well as the full cost of hospitalisation and surgery. Dream: The hair dresser has wanted the nose correction since she was a teenager . 'Rhiannon had been considering Rhinoplasty for a long time and she approached CosMediTour after being referred from a friend who previously had surgery through CosMediTour. We are very happy to have her as a client,' a spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia. 'Rhiannon has a loyal Instagram following and she wanted to Blog about her Rhinoplasty experience as it was something that she didn't want to hide. 'We use fully accredited hospitals with internationally trained and highly skilled Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons and have CosMediTour personnel in all destinations. We create four and five star packages which include surgery, accommodation, transfers, meals and don't charge any additional agency fee for our services.' Langley said she has wanted nose correction surgery since she was a teen, and wanted it done before her wedding to Abrahams in 2016. 'He likes me as I am now, but he supports my decision and is here taking care of me,' Rhiannon said. And she wasn't put off by recent criticism of the industry following the death of Gold Coast woman, Evita Nicole Sarmonikas, in Mexico after a reported buttock implants, or the story of Courtney O'Keefe, from Perth, who contracted a life-threatening infection following breast enlargement surgery in Thailand. 'I have had a lot of friends use Cosmeditour for boob jobs and tummy tucks, and have seen such good results,' so I didn't hesitate for a second,' said Langley. Langley started her blog and Instagram accounts two years ago as a way to promote her home hairdressing business. Her following has grown to over 189,000, and the pretty brunette has capitalised on her popularity, launching a body oil business and working on a swimwear line.
