WORTH IT

I have hated my nose since I was 11 and I just feel it is too big for my face. Unfortunately I inherited a Roman nose from my dad. Although I am proud of my Italian heritage, my nose has been a huge issue in my life and I am really self-concious about it. Throughout my school years I was teased for having a big nose and it really hurt my self-esteem. I will be 22 in March and I feel as though I am now in the right place in my life and I am having this surgery for the right reasons and it is going to make a big difference in the way I feel about myself. I am confident in my surgeon and felt that he was very understanding and easy to talk to when I had a consult with him. I have heard great things about him and feel that he will do an excellent job. I am realistic in the fact that I will never have a small nose but I want a nose that is more size appropriate for my face and more feminine. I am a university student and I am having my surgery over reading break so I am a little stressed about swelling and what not as I have a test the following Tuesday that I may have to write wearing my splint...any suggestions to minimize swelling and bruising would be much appreciated!! :)

You're very pretty, but I'm sure you'll be much happier with a nose that is more fitting of your lovely face. My original nose was similar to yours (but worse!) and I'm so happy every day that I had rhinoplasty in my 20s. Very liberating. Go get 'em! And let us know how it goes.

Thanks Angie! I can't wait to see the results and just from booking the surgery I already feel liberated so I cant wait to see how I feel after.

Hey if u have an iPhone you should download a "rhinoplasty app". They are pretty cool. Of course this is no substitute for your doctor's outcome on you nose but it's fun to play with it.
I am having my nose done on Feb 3rd super excited and nervous all at the same time... Hope yours goes well

Yesterday I went for my final pre opt appointment. Dr. Williamson was great and we once again discussed what he was going to do to my nose in order to achieve the results that I am hoping for. As of right now I am extremely excited for my surgery and cant wait for the 22nd. The only part that I am nervous about is taking the anti-biotics because in the past I have had nothing but bad experiences with allergies to anti-biotics. These reactions range from severe to moderate but I am still really scared that my body will react badly to what I am prescribed. Dr. Williamson is aware of these allergies and is going to double check with the anestesologist but I am keeping my fingers crossed all goes well. Today I got my blood work done and bought all the needed pre surgery stuff that I discussed with the nurse so now it is a matter of waiting patiently for next Wednesday!

Good luck with surgery!

Thank you, but unfortunately I had to postpone my surgery to the 29th because I was sick :(

Aww, well, it's for the best. Better to be healthy than risk it being sick :)

I don't think they usually postpone unless you have a fever or it is a stomach bug. Let us know what happens!

I had to postpone my surgery until the 29th because I had a high fever and a viral infection which resulted in me having a super runny nose. I am super bummed but thankfully they got me in as soon as possible so I only have to wait another week

Hi, you must be so excited by now! I am now day 4 and weaning off the painkillers, with swelling moving down my face. You should be fine with a little head cold, as long as it's not a chest infection or as angiemcc says, a proper bacterial infection. Fingers crossed for you!
