My surgery is in two days!!! I am excited and nervous all at the same time! I really hope that I like the results. My nose is something that I have been insecure about for the last 18 years. A good friend of mine recently underwent plastic surgery. She loves her results. I confided in her how for so many years I disliked my nose and if I would ever get a procedure done it would be rhinoplasty. She encouraged me to look into plastic surgery for myself. I found a plastic surgeon in St. Louis who specializes in the face. He and his staff have been excellent to work with...so far the experience has been great. I will keep everyone posted!

Wow. You are a very attractive person before surgery. I really don't think you need to have your nose done, but of course it matters what you think, not what I think.I'm sure you will be even prettier after surgery. Good luck!

Thanks!! Yep, tomorrow is the big day. I have always felt that my nose is too wide/large for my face. I have a small dorsal hump on my nose as well that bothers me. I will for sure keep you posted!

Surgery went well. I am dying to see what my nose looks like under all of this tape/gauze! :) It feels like I need to blow my nose really bad. It's kind of driving me crazy! My face is swollen and I have one black eye. My top teeth/gums hurt too. Pain meds and frozen bags of peas to help with the pain/swelling. I have been sleeping better than what I thought so that is good. (sleeping elevated on two pillows and then a neck pillow)Everything I am experiencing in recovery is to be expected...so far so good!

6 days post op: Follow up appointment with Dr. Nayak. My cast came off and I could not be more happier with the result! My nose is pretty swollen, minimal bruising...but I already love it! I can't wait to see the changes as my nose continues to heal. I am so glad I had this procedure done. No regrets. I will keep you posted on how things are going as my nose continues to heal. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this procedure! :)
