I've hated the way my nose has looked since the age of about 9 or 10. I hate people looking and me from the side and I feel like it's made me socially awkward throughout my teen years! I had my first consultation with my surgeon back in July. He is a well known surgeon in the u.k so I feel confident with him. I've arranged for my surgery to be on 12th December. I will have my 2nd consultation next month, but I'm extremely scared about the blood tests you have to get before the surgery, the general anesthesia and just generally being in a hospital. I always start to panic and feel faint when I think about a needle or if i'm in a hospital. I'm also scared about throwing up blood after waking up. Is there anything I can do to calm my nerves?

I'm starting to feel pretty excited for my surger but I'm just still scared about those blood tests and the IV needle! Any suggestions on how I can calm my nerves?

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't throw up after my rhinoplasty. You might want to ask your surgeon about anti-nausea pills to prevent this. While you're at it, you can also ask for anti-anxiety meds for just before surgery. Just keep your eyes on the prize and remember this will all be worth it. You might also want to check out this list of supplies to get for your recovery.

Thanks for the comment! Yes, I will definitely ask about the anti-nausea pills and anti-anxiety meds! As the date is getting closer, this whole experience seems so surreal now, and it's quite scary! But like you said, it'll be worth it in the end!

The surgery still just doesn't seem real and it's only 2 months away!! I feel like I will chicken out at the last minute, but I know if I do, I'll regret it! I want to do it now. I can't live with my nose any longer! Has anyone got any advice on how to relax on the lead up to the big day?
Opps, I accidently put my updated review in the comments! Please ignore :)
