WORTH IT$6,000
I am a 26 year old cheer coach. I have always thought I was a pretty girl, but I don't like my nose much. Well meaning as he was my dad use to tease me about how wide it was when I was a kid, and I developed a complex. I have always felt like my nose "messed up" my face. So after two consultations I decided to go through with it. My first consultation was in 2010, but at the time I was a struggling college student that couldn't afford it. After a second consult on 23 Feb 2012 with the same wonderful doctor I made the leap and booked the surgery.

Surgery is just 7 days away and I'm getting hit with a ton of anxiety. I know for sure I want to go through with it. I go from super excited to super scared every other minute.

Since you're going to someone in MD I would STRONGLY suggest checking out Kofi Boahene. He specializes in ethnic rhinoplasty. No, I'm not an advertiser and I haven't had anything done by him, but I've seen his work, talked to him through e-mail and on the phone, and talked to people who have had work done by him. He's honestly one of the best. And if I lived on the East Coast he would probably be my first and only choice (I have ethnic features as well). Either way, good luck! Hope it all goes well.

P.S.- It's always best to go with someone who specializes in cosemtic surgery/procedures from the neck up. Especially since you're ethnic and have ethnic features. It's a big risk to take going to someone who might do someone's liposuction right before working your nose. Going to a specialist can bring peace of mind as well.

I agree. I wish I had known that there are facial plastic surgeons before I had my done. Now I have a hard time breathing 24 hours a day. I put way too much trust in my doctor and that turned out to be a huge mistake. I'm not trying to scare you but this is very important.

You are so pretty! Take your time, research someone who can give you the changes you want. I am guessing you would want subtle changes since you're so pretty already and your nose doesn't seem to be a terrible scenario. But, I know that we all desire changes that are personal to us so definitely Best of luck, keep us posted! Make sure to see a lot of before/after pics. Especially of noses that resemble the changes you want! Good Luck :)!!

I'm so glad you get to do this for yourself! You're gorgeous, of course, but if you're not happy with that thing right in the middle of your face, then you're not happy. :) Let us know how it goes!
