More pix of my front view.
For some reason it won't show up on my phone that I posted this. Maybe it didn't upload so ill just post again. I apologize for my previous review. It was very harsh and I can't figure out how to delete it. I was feeling very out of it and depressed that day because I had been withdrawing from my meds. So I was practically a different person for about a week and a half. Now I got my meds back and the withdrawals went away. I can't believe how nasty I was in that post! I apologize if I offended anyone!

Hi! I went on a consult with dr. C and felt the same way as you!!! Unimpressed and the operating "suite" was ... Meh. Ive been reading more and more negative reviews on him, however I've seen really great results as well. Something else is he does not do computer imaging which can be scary. Ahh! Good luckkkk

Hmm my surgeon doesn't do computer imaging either. Rather, he takes pictures and then draws on them to show the patient what he will be doing to improve the nose. That was enough to satisfy me because he was honest about what he could and couldn't do. I think some pictures, on computers or not, should be used to help explain what the plan is. Pictures communicate that better than words. Personally I would have felt uncomfortable not having a visual, but each person is different.

I agree. After meeting with him I don't know if I'm going to choose him or not. So I might be pursuing another surgeon if I can't find any decent ones near Maryland or at least a state that isn't like an 8 hour drive. But after meeting with him I didn't get any good gut feelings or vibes. But like at the same time you can't really use your gut on whether or not your nose surgery will turn out good. But yeah I think the doctor being able to show me visually what he plans on doing is kinda a big deal.

Hi there! I read some of your posts and think we have similar stories! I am also 21 and have not done my rhinoplasty yet, I am planning to do it at the end of the year. I am sure you get this all the time, but when I was scrolling through your pictures, I thought your front view was natural and pretty and I was not expecting your side view in the kitchen picture. It truly does not fit your face and I understand what you are saying about why you want your surgery. Stupid camera angles make me crazy! The pictures in the car don't look bad at all though! Anyway, I have the exact opposite problem, I like my side, but hate the bulbousy front. : ) I am just starting to get consultations scheduled. I have read from several sites not to go to a doctor who doesn't do imaging, but I am sure you know that! Do not settle for a surgeon, you deserve the best! Good luck!

Your comment about girls not needing PS made me laugh because it shows how relative our opinions as women are. Like we can look at a photo and just say ' wtf why did SHE bother to get surgery?' but it all comes down to how she feels about herself. For example, you're gorgeous and technically you don't 'need' this procedure but you want it just to improve yourself and I completely get that because I'm in the exact same boat.

Hhaha ah yes I was feeling really odd that day. But sometimes I don't understand some of the girls on here or anywhere that is who want to get this done. They're already flawless and then they just go and ruin themselves. Sometimes I just think maybe they're being too superficial or they feel just like me on the inside. Where I feel ugly and that there's no hope for me. It's sucky what we women have to go through to feel beautiful. We're always being compared to other women and told to look or be just like so and so. Maybe not directly but through the media and society.

My first Consultation update review with Dr. C.
Okay, so. Sorry I haven't updated you all on my Consultation. I went on the 1st of May earlier this month and well I'm not really sure how to explain how it went. I feel like it went ALRIGHT, but nothing really stuck out to me too much for me to really go "Oh wow, Dr. C seems really great." I honestly don't know how everyone else claimed he was really great, he just seemed really normal to me and he kind of took the consultation his way instead of really listening to what I didn't like about my nose.
For instance, everyone who I read about that went to him, basically said that he'll tell you bluntly what he thinks needs to be done to your nose....which is fine and all because I love honesty, but I just didn't get the professional vibe from him....I don't know, maybe it's just me but I just felt that maybe he isn't as cracked up as he's claimed to be. We did exchange some laughs and it was however a pretty nice experience considering the fact that I actually went to my first consultation, it was kind of a surreal moment, so maybe that's why I didn't feel everything that I thought I should've felt going into it. Money is kind of an issue for me, so I probably won't be getting my Rhino done anytime soon, but I figure I'll just wait it out and see how other peoples noses turn out on here that are getting the surgery done by him fairly soon.
I must comment on his office, it's pretty small, but it has an elegant taste to it...however the operating room and the room where I'd be "resting," at after surgery doesn't look too appealing. Idk, I'd just expect everything to look pretty brand new, not old and run down.....Honestly, the vibe that I got from his surgery area and post-op area gave me the feeling it was some sort of back alley surgery shop. LMAO....I feel like I might be being a bit too harsh but I feel like his surgery area could be a lot nicer looking, more professional, and clean. BUT, this is my first consultation and I'm not sure on how everything is suppose to look exactly.....I just think his surgery area looked a bit run down....I definitely think he needs to move his office or do some type of remodeling.......Any who. I feel like I might be critiquing way TOO much but I didn't really get the "OHMYGOD HE IS DEF YOUR SURGEON, PICK HIM!!!!" feeling....which really disappoints me....but who knows, he could be a really great surgeon, and I'm just judging too harshly.
Okay, so other than my consultation update...everything seemed to go fairly well I guess.
Sorry I haven't updated y'all in like a month...I've been up and down with my depression lately and I just recently lost my medication so I'm really withdrawing and feeling the effects. I won't be getting my meds until Tuesday, so I've got a little wait, and it feels like FOREVER........
Another thing I'd like to comment on, without sounding too judgmental or harsh on the other girls who've gotten Rhinoplasties on here. I can't help but comment on the girls who were super GORGEOUS before they got their nose job and then when they got it, they HATE their new nose....I'm talking about the girls who legit post in their "about me," section on how attractive they were prior surgery and how they knew they were good looking and that pretty much everyone found them gorgeous and now they feel so ugly after surgery....I really just want to tell them they should've NEVER done anything to their nose, especially knowing how incredibly beautiful they already WERE. If it ain't BROKE don't fix it.....I feel like some girls who're already gorgeous feel the need to keep on IMPROVING their already gorgeous look and let me tell you, a serious surgery like Rhinoplasty isn't a good idea.....I feel like Rhinoplasty is for people like myself, who've been struggling with a nose that doesn't quite fit their face and distracts from all their other features that could appear nice but can't because their NOSE is in the way. Also for people like myself who've felt unattractive for many years because of that certain part on their body.....I mean, if you KNOW you were pretty damn good looking to begin with, why bother getting surgery? There's nothing attractive about a woman who's ALL perfect, sometimes it's their faults that really make them beautiful. It just makes me mad you know, because if I looked like how they looked prior to their surgery, I wouldn't of changed a thing and just kept myself the way I was.........
I'm sorry if I'm sounding too harsh for those who've had their noses done and are simply unhappy with it.....but I'm really aiming this to the ones who already knew they were gorgeous in the first place, but just couldn't help themselves but try to make themselves look even BETTER.
Tip: If you're already in the 90% area of accepting yourself the way you are without physically changing yourself, then DO not get plastic surgery, you run the HUGE risk of turning your already beautiful face into something less desirable.
Now if I get Plastic Surgery and mine turns out bad, I already thought myself as an unattractive person already...if I already thought I was pretty dang attractive, I would not be wanting to get the surgery.
