WORTH IT$5,900

I am turning 30 this year and since i was about 13 i hated my nose! i was blessed with a roman nose lol, after so many years of wanting a smaller nose I am finally going to do it! my surgery is scheduled on june 5th only a few days away..i have read so many stories and reviews that have help me, so i want to do the same:) i truthfully wouldn't have been able to do this is it wasn't for my husband backing me up and keeping me calm. i haven't told my family only my sister because i know they would just freak out and try to scare me out of doing the surgery and thats something that i really don't need;( did any of you go threw this with your family? oh and by the way they only live a few blocks away lol..I am really nervous especially of the outcome i know i have a great surgeon but its always scary not knowing the exact results you'll end up with;/ but im trying to stay calm, i have a 6 and 2 yr old girls so im hoping my youngest wont get scared to see mommy scary looking and try to hit me..i will be buying all my post supplies today and already have my prescriptions..i am taking arnica, bromelain and day of and after surgery a homeopathic called staphysagria which promotes healing of surgical wounds..it works wonders:) ill be posting updates..keep me in you thoughts:)

Good luck! As well meaning as family can be, mine have talked me out foot surgery twice and I seriously regret it so I empathize and believe you're doing the right thing. Hope they don't just drop by without warning, Lol! Glad you have the support of your husband and have a safe and successful surgery.

BTW, your profile is smashing!

Thank you so much:) i know family always wants best for you but at time only you know what you really need, my family usually don't pass by but with my luck they probably will lol ill be posting after pics soon!!

Oh wow, that is going to look beautiful! You are very pretty to begin with. My fiance' and parents are super supportive but we were literally just talking about who knows and who doesn't know, or who we are telling and who we are not and why lol.. it was actually really funny. You just know the people who will judge you or try to talk you out of it or just be jealous that you have the courage and means to do it. We seriously just made a bet if anyone will notice that I didn't tell. My fiance thinks someone will (most likely one of my Aunts) and I do not. It will be natural and I know no one will be able to pin point exactly what is different. We shall see what happens lol but I don't really care either way!

Hopefully they don't pop in for a visit but if they do at least it will already be done! Best of luck to you for your surgery and recovery and please keep us posted. You are going to look awesome!!!

Just reading about your family experience...my parents are totally supportive (of course, my mom had a nose job at 18 in like 1969), but it's my husband that is nervous. He's supportive, but is afraid I "won't look the same" (even though that's kind of the point!). I just think we know we're doing what's best for ourselves =)

I know exactly what you mean. I'm in the same situation. My parents are supportive, but my boyfriend who I've been dating for a couple years is skeptical about it. He tells me he feels it's going to be awkward at first because I'm going to look different. ^_^

My surgery date is the 28th and I have my pre-op appt on the 12th. I plan to ask my Dr. about the use of Arnica & Bromelain..but I've never heard about the other you mentioned..I will have to add that to my list!! I also have 2 kids and hope that it will aid in me getting back on my feet (and not looking so scary) afterwards;)
Good luck to you! I look forward to hearing about your recovery!
