Love my New Nose - I used to have a huge nose - Los Angeles, CA

I used to have a huge nose. It was thick, large and widely spread across my face. As a result, it drew a lot of attention and naturally made me uncomfortable. I could see that whenever people approached me, their eyes would be stuck at my nose in amusement. My nostrils were super huge too. I just had to get a nose job. I have grown up being teased about my nose and now i made up my mind that no more was i going to take it.
I went to a doctor in LA who was very good. He drew and showed me the shape he would be giving and also explained to me what kind of a nose would suit my facial features the most. I thought his personal interference and suggestions were very kind and it made me very comfortable. I was not given a general anesthesia, but was given a local one and was also quite sedated. It was given in the iv so i was asleep throughout the surgery.
When i woke up i had a bandage and a splint on my nose that i was asked to keep on for a week. I was in the recovery room for about an hour or so after which i left. ( i was told not to drive so my girlfriend came with me). I felt sick for that whole night. Some mucus came out of my nose, i threw up once which made my nose hurt quite a bit. I also had a bad headache that whole night.
By morning i was totally ok with just a mild headache. My face was kind of stiff for a few days and it hurt when the splint was removed the next week. My nose just looked so different after the swelling went away that i could not even believe it. I was so happy that i forgot all about the pain i had. I look so good now. My nose is nice, thin, straight and perfect for my face. I look like a whole new person and a great one at that.
It might have been a bit uncomfortable during the recovery, but the end results were so good that it all seems worth it now. I love my new nose.
