I'm scheduled to have surgery in the middle of January and I'm so nervous. I am very happy with my looks but my nose is always something that I'm self-conscious about. It's wide and flat and kind of has a bump on it. Overall, it just needs to be changed. lol
My parents are NOT HAPPY with my decision to get rhino but I lied and told them it was for a deviated septum (like celebrity lie about...) so they kinda bought it.
My boyfriend (who is caucasion) is kind of worried about the outcome as well.
Im kinda nervous about this surgery because the doctor seems to have a vision of how to shape my nose but is telling me that he'll basically do what he finds best to narrow and lift my nose while the surgery is performed.
I'm really worried but VERY excited because I've wanted this forever. I just wish my parents weren't so offended. They keep on telling me I'll look like Michael Jackson and they keep on telling me that I'll hate how I look afterwards because Im a pretty girl now.
Any words of advice? Any encouraging things to consider while I'm at the pre-op stage? I'll post pics after the surgery!

When is your surgery? Is it this week?
Thinking about you with fingers and toes crossed.
My surgery is on Thursday at noon! I'll post pics throughout the progress!!
Hello! It's been almost 2 years since my rhino! I...
I am very happy with the results. It looks really natural so no one even suspects anything was done until they see my drivers license. Even then, they assume it was because I was younger. Turns out he didn't use any inplants, he just used grafts from my own nose so I got 1000$ back!
For the first...maybe 2-3 months, my skin broke out REALLY bad from the selling and I felt self-conscious about that more than my frozen smile and stiff nose. I went on Accutane in April (which is less than 4 months after my surgery) and didnt feel anything strange with my nose. So for those on accutane who are withholding on the surgery, I dont know how big of a deal it is.
Anyways, so I'm going in for a scar revision. Its minor. No breaking this time. The tip of my nose has some scaring that is causing residential swelling (something like that).
It's only going to cost me 3,300$. The doctor (the same one) is going to be taking off a bit of fat/scar tissue from the tip. He said nothing will change from the profile, it will just define the tip a bit more. I'm very happy about the way I look now so I'm hoping it won't be TOO drastic. I really kinda nervous about this one but I trust the doctor since he gave me such good results the first time!
If you have any questions, just ask!!
ONE WEEK FROM TODAY! Let's hope its not too too...
Let's hope its not too too drastic or too hard of a recovery as I have plans for my 25th bday on October 6th!
Fingers crossed!
You are a lovely lady, that's for sure. But I can understand wanting a nose tweak (after all, I did it several years back). Michael Jackson had at least three or four nose jobs by the looks of things. So, no, you likely will not end up looking like him.
Just make sure you feel comfortable with your board certified doctor. It's true that there's only so much they can do to a nose depending on its structure. If you're confident he'll do his best with the confines of your body tissues, there's no need to be nervous. You'll do great.
Looking forward to seeing your After photos!
