Rhinoplasty: Stories

Hello Real Selfers!!!!

I am on this ultimate high on life. I think I figured out the secret to happiness....just go for what you want at whatever cost. I have been doing this for the past couple of months and I cannot begin to explain how much my life has changed for the better. I am removing all toxicity that pollutes my mind on an everyday basis and turning it to a positive; from the people that I deal with to the thoughts that run through my mind.

Why am I considering plastic surgery you ask? Why not?! Plastic surgery is another form of body modification which is what I'm all about. Aren't we all to some degree? From cutting to coloring our hair, getting tattoos and piercings, shaving, dieting....we do all these things to modify ourselves to our definition of beauty, so why not plastic surgery.

One thing that irritates me is when people tell me that I shouldn't hate myself to the point of getting plastic surgery. Ummm....who said I hated myself. I just want my body to look the way I want it to look. As a hardworking single mother of three kids, I could say that I am blessed with the opportunity to be able to make those kind of changes with cosmetic surgery.

One of the biggest issues I've had throughout most of my life is my nose. I have no issues with the bridge of my nose but the bulbous tip has to go (thanks Dad for your strong genes. lol) Thanks to this bulbous tip, it takes 10,000 pictures to get that one picture that I can tolerate enough to post on Facebook. I want a more feminine nose that will let me smile as big as I want to without fear of my nose overbearing the look on my face.

I came across my ideal doctor (Dr. Michael Salzhauer) who is well known for his amazing rhinoplasty results. After taking a look at his online gallery, I am convinced that he is the doctor that I need. After speaking to him, it's confirmed that I am finally following through on this. January 15th baby!!!! I am so serious about this that it's been 3 weeks and a day that I quit smoking. That is a miracle in itself considering the fact that I have been a 1 - 2 pack a day chain smoker for the past 10 years.

I am so excited and I wanted to share my experience with others in hopes that it will help motivate others to pursue their definition of beauty and happiness. I know the road ahead is not going to be all peaches and cream, but I do know that in the end, something that I was always self conscious of will be a thing of the past.

Though I am constantly on this website, I have to admit that I have been slacking a lot about writing my own experience. Just to give you a quick update on what's been going on with me and my plastic surgery journey, my surgery was pushed back to April for now because I need to gain more weight for the other procedure I am getting done (brazilian butt lift). Also I started smoking again which is no bueno. I don't know how I lasted almost a month without smoking but I need to get on that mojo again.
