Hello. I just wanted to start my log on my journey to rhinoplasty. I'm a 27 year old male seeking rhinoplasty. Basically, I've never been happy with my nose and I've finally decided to do something about it.
I've had 2 consultations so far over the past month. I've met with the following two surgeons: 1) Dr. Jonathan Pontell (Media, PA) 2) Dr. Eric Joseph (West Orange, NJ) I have a third consultation setup on 2/14/12 with Dr. Thomas Le in Baltimore, MD. If you're curious, please see my attached morphs below compliments of Dr. Pontell.

Good luck, that is just around the corner!!!!
I've decided to go with Dr. Thomas Le in Maryland and my surgery date is March 28, 2012. Thank you everyone for your support. Hopefully I made the right decision!
Wish me luck :)
Thanks for the update! Good work on doing your homework and really thinking your decision through. :)
2/14/12: I had a 9 AM appointment this morning with Dr. Thomas Le in Elliot City,MD. It was a long drive for me from North Jersey but I think it was well worth it. The consultation went extremely well and I felt very comfortable around Dr. Le as he went into great detail and gave me an in-depth analysis on his procedures.
I will be making my decision over Pontell, Joseph, and Le over the next few days/week. I'll keep everyone updated.
Thanks for the support!
Sounds good!
I haven't had my nose done, but I've had another "enhancement." :) I can tell you though that if my nose bothered me I would fix it.
I have a lot of friends that have gotten their noses down, and it is really neat seeing the difference and how confident they feel afterward. My advice is to not change it in a way though that you look like an entirely different person. I would just fix the area that is bothering you. With the photo I saw that seemed like a great nose for you.
You also want to make sure you go to a doctor that listens to your needs. Reading the great reviews, looking at photos, reading the doctors answers, and going in for a few different consultations will help you decide. I think before/afters are a great way to really see the doctors' talent. I personally think the nose is the hardest plastic surgery procedure.
There are a lot of great doctors in your area. Take a look at the photo gallery and that may help you decide on doctors too!
I would totally say go for it. Noses give you character and they also give you confidence. If it is really bothering you then you should do what makes you happy. :)
I love the after photo for the first result, that looks really nice.
