My nose Is always something that bothered me. (I have a large hump i got from my dads side of the family. I know im a pretty girl but when i see my side profile it still bothers me. I've been researching getting a rhinoplasty for about 3 months now and have had two consultations but I still feel torn! Should I go for it!? It's such a big decision. I will be going to two more consultations then ill make my decision. Wish me luck! :)

I can't believe it! I booked my surgery!! I'm sooo excited, But I'm also nervous. I went to my second consultation with Dr Michael Elam and he answered all my questions. He has so much expirence and seems like the best option when it comes to having a natural rhinoplasty. Ill update as soon when I have my pre op. Please let me know if anyone has any advice before surgery that might make thing go better.

Saying my good buys to my old nose
Cilla85March 1, 2014
When I was made fun of in Jr High I hated hated hated my nose. I would think why am I so different? Why can't I have a nose like everyone else. But the good thing is I always had the support of the family and in high school I grew into it, I embraced it. For a while I felt that it made me unique and set me apart. I didn't get teased a lot in high school and never got teased as an adult. For the last 10 yrs I would say I was fine with it. But recently I watched my wedding Vedio from 2008 and HATED my side view and so many old insecuritys came flooding back. I huge part of me is sad to do the surgery because I'm afriad what my family will say but I'm doing something for me for once and I'm so very happy! So good buy old nose! I'm still going to look unique ( which I love) but unique with a better nose lol.

I am also going with Dr. Elma. How did you feel about the "after" picture they gave you at consultation? I am not sure about mine, it's hard to see it and actually envision it in my mind how it will really look after.

Hi, I loved my consultation picture. If it came out looking like the after photo I would be extremely happy. I know it's scary and a huge decision because in the end you just never know for sure whats going to happen or how your body will react. I weighed all the " what ifs" and decided to go for it. If you have more concerns or questions your should call Dr Elam. I've had several and 2 consultations before I made a final decision. Good luck :)

Thanks for the reply! I guess I got overwhelmed because I went for my consultation on Friday feb 28 and they said they could do the surgery on March 11th. At first I was super excited but when I went home and did more
Research and saw my after picture I started to have second thoughts and also thought it was way too soon. For now I still want to do it but I'm going to take my time and not rush it. I'm going back in a few weeks to talk to dr. Elam and also see a different doctor just to see my different options. Best of luck on your surgery! Can't wait to see your results!!!

I think your doing the right thing. It's your face so I think it's important to take your time and feel confident when you make a final decision. Hope everything works out. Thanks and I will definitely post some after pics.

In my opinion, if someone can get you in that fast it means that their "case load" is not very high? Most surgeons with whom I have consulted have not had surgery dates for several months out.

Actually my surgery was scheduled a month before because he didn't have any available days before that. Dr Elam has a lot of experience and testimonies my surgery is on Friday and I'm so excited. I've spoke to several of his patient even one in person and they were very happy.
