Finally did it june 5th!!! - San Antonio, TX

Thanks so much:) my old nose wasn't horrible but i was always so self conscience of my profile which affected even how i did my hair lol..so i did this for me to feel better and more confident which it has totally done:)) yay im so happy i did it:) my parents were a little hurt i told them the day of surgery but my dad came around and absolutely loves my new nose..i inherited his nose so i thought he would be more hurt about it but i think he has understood me the most my mom on the other hand is still hurt about it but she just has to get over it..i had to do this for me:)

Now that you mention that about the hair, I can say that I know exactly what you mean! I had never thought about it before but I absolutely NEVER put my hair up. I just have never liked how it has made my face look and I guess because I feel that my nose is more exposed which I don't like at all. So hopefully if I do decide to get surgery that will no longer be an impediment to wear ponytales. :) I'm glad you're so happy with your new profile!! My boyfriend is the only one of my loved ones who is against me getting surgery, but I feel like I need to do this for myself (like you said) not in a selfish way or anything, but I guess to feel completely comfortable with my face :)

Hi jacjac thanks so much!! I'm dyeing to go visit Dallas!! so cool your from here..you are a trooper to do two different procedures at once!! day 4/5/6 were really hard for me my blood pressure kept going down and crazy light headed.. it seemed that the meds were to much for me:( took me 3 days to get them out of my system then i felt soooo much better!! are you using arnica gel for your bruising and swelling? it has helped me sooooo much!! Im still using it at night actually and i hardly have any swelling:) dont worry about your cast removal your either going to love it right away and if you don't (like me) don't worry it will get better;)) it was a little rough going threw recovery taking care of my girls my hubby help for the first 2 days but had to go back to work that was hard indeed lol well you already look fabulous so im sure your new nose will just add to your beauty..cant wait to see your big reveal:)))

Thanks for the encouragement so much! Dallas is really neat, I miss Texas so much! Today is Day 6 and I'm feeling a lot of pressure on my chest which sucks but everyday is new day in recovery. My PS told me has done study after study which proved the arnica gel has no additional results but everyone raves about it so I should pick it up. Thanks again for the support and I will post more pics after my cast removal! :) Have a great weekend!

Thanks so much!! I'm really happy with my results..the day my ps took my cast off i think i was pretty shocked so i didn't say to much lol he said that its going to look gorgeous not to worry about the swelling..it took me about 3 days to really love it..it was a big change so i guess everyone react different i just warned my hubby to just comfort me if i cried a lot lol..
we didn't talk to much on the front i really had to just put my trust in him!! sometimes when they remove a hump/bump it can make the bridge look wider but i think it really depends on how narrow your nose is now..i wouldn't of minded if my nose was a little more narrow but that would have meant him breaking my nose ..so overall im just being happy with my result and i know i have to give it time to heel more and get more defined;)) i wish you the best on your surgery the last few day before mine i was very nervous and started doubting myself but im so happy that i went threw with it!!!

random question: where your surgery the first in the morning? I schedule on a day where he has one patient before me , I moved it from another day where I would have been the first...I don't know why thats freaking me out lol

I did request to be the first surgery and they did honor my request. I wanted as much time possible to start healing since I only had help for two days:/ I really wodent worry about being the second patient they do this all the time.. Try to relax and trust in your doc that he will do the best for you:)

thanks so much! i have LOTS of swelling on the bridge of the nose, i think i might have more swelling there because the splint was stuck like glue on the top of my nose so im thinking when it was removed that might of caused even more swelling , so i did feel that the front of my nose looked so different than before , thats what affected me the most i didn't feel like me anymore, but i feel much better with it now i know that once the swelling goes down its going to look great, different but thats the idea lol. i wish you the best today i hope you absolutely love it and if you don't trust me its normal and as the days go by you feel much better :)))

I can see how your tip is going to look so cute from looking at the other before and afters of others on here. That "refining" part of the healing seems to take the longest but makes a big difference in the end. I've always had a skinny nose from the front and seeing it "big" is going to be a shocker for me. Headed out now for appt.... so nervous but so excited!

Your totally right ! my nose also was much thinner and now it's super big and wide cause of the swelling not to pretty lol can't wait to hear from you after your big reveal !!

Thanks bellalola!! I'm loving it more as the days pass by!! I'll post frontal pics soon ;))

Thank you Jordan;) I always hated not being able to do certain hair styles because of my nose lol so now I'm super exited to try new looks lol .. Did your frontal look change at all or dose your nose look the same from the front?

My frontal didn't really change, at least not much. I'm really excited for updo's...I've been in multiple weddings where I'm the weirdo who wants their hair down! I think your profile looks great! I wish my results were more dramatic, so I'm a little jealous of how different yours is! The grass is always greener, right? =)

I feeling a little Sad:( that's why I haven't updated.. It didn't come out how I wanted my nose to look I had made it clear what I wanted ..I feel he made my nose to perky I'm hoping that the swelling will go down and I'll like it better it seems he made changes to my tip when we said we weren't going to do that so now I look very different from the front and I guess that's what's bothering me the most:((

:( Did you question him about it? What did he say? There will be many changes happening even in these first few days and weeks...I know I've read many reviews that addressed an upturned tip, very swollen tip etc. etc. Let's hope that is all it is!! I can imagine it is very very hard to look in the mirror right now and be disappointed BUT it has only been 1 day. Try your best to relax and rest and hopefully it will look better and better as the days go on and you'll be happy with the result! :)

Thanks so much I really hope that I do love it .my husband says to give it time , even though I read so many reviews about feeling dissappointed at first, I new to expect that but not as much as I feel now. When he took the cast of I wasent able to see me nose to much he just said that it looked amazing and that it was going to look gorgeous but to avoid mirrors for a month cause of swelling .. I'm hoping day by day I feel better;/
