Im Sadie, im 16 years old. ive hate my nose since i was 12 years old. since i was younger i would always get made fun of becuz of it. now im going to be a junior, & my parents are totally fine with me getting it done. my surgery is scheduled for july 26th! so on a tuesday.(tho we r trying to get it for earlier). i am so excited for it, but also VERY nervoous. my dr told me tht i might have to get my nose packed. that makes me terrified!! thinking tht i cant breathe out of my nose scares me a lot!!!.

can someone explain wht their packing was like? please... :)

Very excited for you! My surgery is scheduled in Palo Alto for August 17th, I am getting nervous like you. Just trying not to think about it too much. Can you say who your doctor is?

Hi Sadie! July 26th is coming up really soon, I hope you're excited! I have my surgery scheduled in late October and I feel the same way as you do. Sometimes I get really nervous to the point of wondering if I should go through with the surgery or not. I'm sorry that I can't be of more help with the nasal packing issue, but I noticed that your nose is actually quite similar to mine. Would you be able to post up pics post-op, just because I haven't seen the results of many people who have noses similar to mine before? Or even consider PMing me some? I hope it's not much to ask, it would just help with the nervousness and give me a better idea of what kind of results I may be able to expect.

Thanks and I hope it goes well!

I was also worried about how I’d be breathing after surgery. It wasn’t scary, just, annoying! Like when you have a cold and your nose is stuffed up, you have to breath through your mouth. But you can’t blow your nose, so you just have to wait it out. You can try it, just "pinch" your nose closed and eventually you have to breath through your mouth, thats basically how it feels.

Good for you for getting it done now! I wish I had.

I had my nose packed and it's like extreme congestion. Not comfortable, but you adjust. And usually it's only in for a few days.

2 more days to go! Please come back and let us know how it goes.
