Cast comes off tomorrow! Nervous

I'm a 22 years old and getting my rhinoseptoplasty done in 13 days. I have hated my nose since I can remember. I have wide nostrils and a bulbuos tip. My nose just seems too big for my face. In addition, I have some breathing problems, which are also going to be taken care of. The only thing I like about my nose is my straight bridge, which is obviously staying like that, only narrowed a bit. I'm very nervous about the tip work since my doctor told me it's much more difficult than just shaving down a hump on the bridge. Hope everything will go well. I have read a wonderful reviews of my doctor, one of which here at RealSelf, so I have a lot of trust in him.

It feels almost unreal that I'm finally doing this. I was researching the procedure and doctors a couple of years ago, but got too afraid and decided to just learn to live with my nose. That didn't work out and here we are again ;) I have done A LOT of researching this time too and I have probably read every review posted on this web site. Still the surgery has kind of crept up on me - I had my first consultation two weeks ago, and a second one (with a different doctor) couple of days after. Now I'm all booked for 26th of September. My doctor has e-mailed me all the information and I'm having my pre-op consultation next Tuesday.

I'm not afraid of the part of being under the knife, I'm more worried about the outcome and how people will react. My family and in-laws are very much against all estethic surgery etc. and I have not told them. The only person who I've told is my boyfriend. At least he's very supportive, even though he doesn't think the surgery is necessary. He even took a couple of days off work to take care of me after the surgery :) Since my doctor doesn't use computer imaging I also want to go through every tiny detail I want changed in my pre-op appointment. Has any one else had this? Is it normal for a doctor to refuse to do the image morphing? My Doc says it may lead to false expectations. I would have wanted to use it as "a communication tool" between us. But I guess it works just fine without as well.

So that's all right now (I can't even remember what I wrote). I will keep updating as "my day" is getting closer, maybe posting some pics as well if I'm brave enough, haha. I would appreciate tips and encouragement as I'm alredy sooooo nervous and excited! In a week I'm probably completely freaking out... xx
