I've known that I wanted my nose done since I was in middle school. I would get made fun of and teased by people and eventually it got to the point where I would get anxiety about going to school. I thought I was to scared to get rhinoplasty so I just decided to deal with it. Well that's not the case. I'm a hairdresser so I stand in front of a mirror 8 to 10 hours a day and I know my clients can see my profile I tried to block it out of my mind that clients can stare at my nose all day every day but as everyday passes it just got worse. So enough about feeling sorry for myself :) I turn 30 in march and its time to do something for myself so I can stop dwelling on my nose and move on with my life. I had my consultation January 11th with Dr. Heatherington in Bozeman , Montana. I live 2 hours away but I have gone to him before for breast aug. (yes I thought getting a boob job would help my self esteem with my nose but I was wrong....) he did the picture morphing and I loved what I saw right away!! I think I have more anxiety now because I want it done right now and I don't want have to wait another 37 days I hope my surgery will go well and I will keep everyone posted. Some of the reviews on here make me nervous because some are still not happy with their nose but I'm hoping it will be better than what I have now. Here is to being 30 and fabulous!!!

After reading some of the reviews I'm not gonna lie I'm freaked out. Some people's noses look worse or not any better than before. I'm trying to stay positive so I don't chicken out but not knowing if it will turn out scares me. I feel like it can't be any worse than what I have but clearly it's happened to other people...need some encouraging words from people that have had positive experiences :(

I think the main thing is to go with your gut and its a bonus you have had surgery before so you have an idea of what recovery will be like. Good luck :)

don't touch your nose..you will be sorry. You look gorgeous and natural just as you are

How are you doing? Still going for it? I haven't had it done myself yet but I can relate to you freaking out. I have read so many reviews on here and I think if your doctor is great, certified and has a passion for rhinoplasty ( and you have seen tons of his before and afters) I think it will be just fine! Just make sure you do a ton of research on him. I think it would be worth it for you in the end. You are beautiful but being self conscious for the rest of your life is just not worth it. There are tons more "worth it" reviews on here from real people than there are "not worth it" and I think you should do what your heart and head tells you. Good luck girl and I hope the best for you!

I'm just curious if anyone took arnica or used the arnica gel to help with bruising?? Also if anyone had to take a steroid after surgery to help with swelling??

Yes I'm still doing it :) I had to stay away from this site and regroup and I was having second thoughts. I'm really excited and nervous at the same time but I trust my dr and yes I've done a ton of research on my dr its just the what ifs that bother me but I think he will do a great job! I will keep you posted. Do you have a surgery date??
January 27, 2013
That's totally normal to have those feelings... I know i did but try to stay positive through those thoughts. My advise is as long as you have confidence in your surgeon and keep realistic expectations you'll be happy! Also, make sure to follow all your doctors pre and post of instructions so you know you did everything to help create the best outcome possible. Good luck I'm sure you'll be happy with the final results :)

Hi. I used a Arnica spray under my tongue, 3 times a day, for two weeks before surgery. After I continued with the spray & a cream for a week. Not sure if it made a difference, but my PS said it would.

My surgery is two days before yours! Looks like we'll be going through our recovery time together :) Good luck!

I'm a hairstylist too so I know how the mirror thing is unavoidable! And if a cute guy comes in for a haircut that's a nightmare for me haha. Good luck and try not to stress yourself out too much! My surgery is a week before yours so feel free to ask me anything :)
