- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

It's done! I can't believe it's already done!
Last night I barely slept, and woke up around 2am and couldn't get back to sleep as my mind ran wild! What if it looks worse?! What If I feel everything with the twilight sedation?! What if?! What it?! What if?! Lol
It was kind of good though I just hung out and relaxed, had a shower, listened to music and got ready so at least I knew I would have lots of time to find the surgery centre. I had fasted since about 6pm that night, so was starving but honestly too nervous to eat which made it easier:)
When I arrived, the staff was amazing...made me feel totally at ease, and special not like a number:) I was so nervous about the pain, but the nurse so spent lots of time talking to me, and Dr. Buonosissi came I and spent some time making sure we were. On the same page, and also just to calm my nerves. You get a nice little room with a tv and a recliner, and you take some relaxing pills while you wait. I started to feel more comfortable.
When it was time to make my way into the operating room I got REALLY scared. Again, nurses were amazing and talked to me a lot which I liked. The IV was put in after a couple of tries which always stings a bit, but soon after the medicine started flowing. I started to relax, but could tell it wasn't in total effect yet. They explained that while the medicine was starting to work, Dr. B would be giving me a needle in my nose to numb the area. This was the worst part... It did hurt, I squirmed, and I swear there was 5 or more pricks inside there! Ouch! The good news, that's where the pain ended:) I did try to go to sleep, I kept my eyes closed, and I could feel him tugging, and I think I got tapped with a hammer or something... Also could feel the sawing of my bridge (by feel I mean I could hear, and felt the pushing and pulling sensation... NO PAIN! Yay!) Time passed quite quickly and I was so worried about feeling things, and other than the numbing needles (which yes, hurt a bit) everything else was amazing!
They make you hang out for an hour after or so and monitor you, and really just take great care of you. I am so happy with my decision to go with Dr. Buonosissi and am so excited to see the (hopefully amazing!) results! Waiting for a week to see will feel like forever! So based on my experience so far, and before seeing my final reveal, I couldn't be more impressed with dr. Buonosissi and his team! Stay tuned for my after pics:)

Ahhhhh two weeks to go!!!!!! I am so nervous and trying to just not think about it! Lol
I am super scared about the twilight sedation because I am a MAJOR wimp so hopefully I can't feel anything or hear a lot of unpleasant sounds (or at least be out of it enough not to care! ) I am also feeling lots of guilt about spending the money on myself and am scared that it will look worse... Basically everything you could worry about, I am worrying about! I am basically just trying to literally forget about it and let the date creep up and really try to relax knowing that this surgeon is the best of the best. I know I am in good hands but as any control freak out there, it's super tough! Ok well not much else happening, I am picking up my prescriptions tomorrow and will start buying the post op supplies and stuff soon:)
Thought I would add my 'wish nose':) I think she looks amazing and just a lot softer/more feminine/cuter which is exactly what I
The other pic is a side profile of me (excuse the peeling I just had a peel done and am shedding like crazy!) you can see the hump and ball at the end, and basically how large it is, making me look not cute at all and very masculine.
