I have wanted a nose job since i was at least 15. I am not comfortable with the nose i have even though everyone always tells me there is nothing wrong with my nose. I know that after i get a nose job, i will be so much more comfortable with who I am and not be as paranoid that everyone is staring at my nose. My dad's side of the family all have a big nose so i feel like my dad will not take it well and im not sure how to bring it up to him that i am getting a nose job. any suggestions? what supplies should i get before my nose job?

I have pre-op in two days :) time is just flying by and I CANNOT believe there is only 28 more days till my surgery date. it has been great hearing from everyone on this website. Every single person that I have talked to helped me so much and I look forward to hearing about everyone's experience.

I am getting really frustrated. Every price that Kate, the secretary, has given me so far has been wrong. When I go to pay the price we have discussed there always turns out to be more hidden prices that she hasn't informed me about. Has this happened to anyone else?!

Keep up the great healing work. You are well on your way to having the gorgeous nose you desire. Rest up!

Just checking to see how today went? Did you get your cast off and stitches out?
JadeMembrino 13 May 2013
Today was so much better! I went and got it all cleaned up today & I get the cast off and some stitches removed Thursday..I cannot wait! How are you doing?
Kari2013 13 May 2013
I'm doing good. I bet you glad you have that cast off!!! Did it hurt? I have read several stories where it is very painful. I was fine with the surgery, but scared of the stitches removal. How does your nose feel? Are you happy? I'm curious as to what my nose looks like under the cast. Talk soon. Have a great night.
JadeMembrino 13 May 2013
I actully get the removed this Thursday so I have all the same questions as you :p

Kari2013 12 May 2013
Doing better day by day. Could not believe how my face looked, but I think the swelling is going down. Little. How are you doing?
JadeMembrino 12 May 2013
Im deff feeling better! Today is probably the day where I have the least pain. I go to see dr pontell tomorrow to get it cleaned!
JadeMembrino 12 May 2013

Kari2013 12 May 2013

Oh no! Take your meds and it'll get better. Drink water, suck lozenges and put on Chapstick
Kari2013 10 May 2013
Just checking on you honey to see how you are feeling. Today was the hardest day for me so far. The drip pad was stuck to my nose when I went to go change it. I was afraid I was going to rip my stitches out. Hugs to you.
