After years of waiting, I finally decided to break down and get this nose taken care of. I just put a deposit down to schedule my surgery date which is for May 9th, 2012! I can't believe this is really going to happen! I've done all of my research (for years now), and have recently become a fan of this site! I decided it would be a great benefit both to me and others out there to document my experience. It has ben so helpful reading others stories and has helped ease my nerves. Any feedback, helpful tips or encouraging words will always be welcome and appreciated. I'm excited and scared all at once. Pictures to come!

You guys... My surgery date is getting closer and I'm starting to get really nervous. What if I don't wake up? What if I don't like it? Will I be in a lot of pain when I wake up? Can I do this? Omgosh! Well... any encouraging words would be awesome! I don't want to chicken out, and considering I've already put $1000 down, I know I won't. Just the anticipation leading up is sometimes overwhelming. I'm also super excited!

You are so PRETTY! You won't chicken out I was there a month ago and that was the hardest part (the nerves before the surgery)! You'll be fine though YOU WILL wake up and you won't look like a totally different person. Those were the things I was worried about :) Whenever I got nervous I honestly would just look at pics of my nose and reassure myself that I'm doing this for me! Best of luck I'll be sure to follow your story!

Your nose looks perfect to me! It's completely in line with your pretty features.

Its totally OK to be nervous! From what I have been told and read- the anticipation and nerves are actually alot worse than the real pain. There will definitely be pain, but nothing that can't be overcome! Also, dont worry about "not waking up." I have also researched for years and havent read anything about someone who didn't wake from the anesthesia. You'll do great!! But, your nose does look cute already! But I know we all have our personal perferences! I wish you lots of luck!!

I don't see what is really wrong with your nose but I understand you ! It's good to hear you made research for years, that what I did too :) It's important to get a specialized surgeon !! Good luck, few weeks to go !!

Honestly, from the front I think my nose looks normal... it's just the profile view. I was tormented when I was younger (13-17) people would call me a "Jew" or ask me if my family was in the holocaust because my nose was so big. People are cruel. I'm just excited for this new time in my life :)
I'm so glad you found us and are sharing your story! Thank you! This is an exciting leap. I haven't regretted my rhinoplasty for one single day. Just make sure your surgeon specializes in rhinoplasty as it's a really intricate procedure.
Keep us posted! Looking forward to seeing your photos.
