It is two nights before I go to Dr. Devinder S. Mangat for rhinoplasty and ear surgery (ears pinned back). I am exited, anxious, and nervous to undergo these procedures. I have done a lot of research on Rhinoplasty and believe it is a good decision for me with college approaching in the fall. My nose and my ears have always been an insecurity of mine. I have edited photos for years, and hardly ever wear my hair up because of this. When I go to school I want to be self confident and worry free, which is a big part of the decision to undergo this.

I think you're making the correct choice. Sometimes its difficult to look at ourselves objectively. Your nose does not bother me and probably anybody else but obviously if it holds you back you must take control. I also feel my nose is bulbous and it does bother me, so I'm getting it fixed as well. A bulbous nose cn be difficult because you don't want to end up with the pinched look. Do you have any nose "inspirations" or "models"? good luck and when is your surgery?

I just had my surgery today! And my nose doesn't look pinched (thank goodness) and my biggest inspiration is dianna argon and also Blake lively. I know that Blake has had the bulbous tip nose job and hers turned out amazing!

Sorry it's so late, but today I had the surgery and it went very well! The most pain is my ears and the nose is mainly just irritating. I'm having a lot of blood drainage but apparently that's normal! Thanks everyone for the comments it really means a lot! I go back to the doctor Thursday to get the head wrap taken off, I took a few peaks at my nose and all though its swollen it looks a lot better than it did

Thanks and me too!

Hi, I have kind the same type of nose like yours. I dont have a bump on my bridge but my tip is big and undefined compared to my bridge, and I always wanted to have a surgery to correct it, but since it is the front view I think it is difficult to find a surgeon. I wish you all luck and hope yours will turn out with the best results.
June 26, 2013
Dr. Mangat was very confident with his work. I suggest going to a surgeon that only does face work and has years of experience! And thank you for the comment!

It's is the second day since my surgery and I'm feeling much better this afternoon than last night. Sleep was very difficult last night mainly because of my ears. The ears are much more painful than the nose but I get my bandage for them off tomorrow morning! I cleaned my nose with a q-tip and hydrogen peroxide on the outside and It
