I have been considering a rhinoplasty for 5+ years now, but I am finally doing it! After months of looking at noses and becoming a little (who am I kidding A LOT) obsessive, I finally met with a surgeon. He is the first and only surgeon I have met with. My co-worker had her nose done by this doctor and he is the surgeon that receives the most revisions of patients that were not happy with their nose after other doctors surgeries. I feel much more at ease than I did before the appointment.
I found out at my consultation that I have a deviated septum. I will now be getting a septoplasty as well as a rhinoplasty. I will be getting my hump removed, minor tip work and narrowing my bridge.
I paid for my procedure and set the date for surgery. It is a little over 3 weeks from today! Wahoo!

Just little over a week until my surgery! I am both nervous and excited. My biggest concern right now is not like what he does to my nose. I couldn't live with the thought of me changing something that wasn't that bad and made it horrible. I'm sure everyone on here has had the same thought as me. Anyways I will post more picture of my before nose soon!

I think that is everyone's main fear about this - making it worse! But that's just human nature. It is a massive change, but most people on here are really pleased with their outcome and look really natural and just an improved version of themselves. Best wishes :)

I am in Utah and looking at surgeons also. Did you to with Bitner, Mobley or Yates?
December 31, 2012
Mobley. He is the only dr I met with but I feel really good about picking him as my surgeon
December 31, 2012
Please keep in touch to let me know how it goes!!! I am scheduling consultations with Mobley and Bitner.
December 31, 2012
Good luck :) let me know how those go! Mobley is very direct but seems very confidant in what he does.

I have my surgery scheduled a few days before you :-) so I'm going through exactly the same thing, I have also worried about changing something that is 'not that bad', I guess it's natural... I've also had a complete nose obsession for the last few months - looking forward to never thinking about noses so much again post op!
Good luck!

Hang in there pretty girl!! Remember the old saying pain is beauty? (I find that to be quit true going through this lol) it will all be worth it in the end :) your new nose will be stunning :) I can't wait to see it!! I'm so excited for you!

I hope you're feeling better! I'll be where you're at this time next week and my stomach is in knots over it.
Just remember why you did this and this time next week you'll be way better.

Remember to eat something like toast or a few saltine crackers before you take your pain medication. Something light like that on your stomach will help you tolerate & keep down the medication better & will settle your stomach & keep you from throwing up. Hang in there girl!! You can do this :)

Thanks! I am doing better now that I have kept some food and a pain pill down. Thanks! We're in this together!

Take nice, deep breaths through your mouth whenever you are feeling nauseous(you prob still have the anesthesia in you). That really helped me get that feeling away and it'll relax you as well. I also found that the coolness from eating popsicles distracted me from the pain in my nose even if it was just for a bit. Feel better!

How exciting! The best thing about rhinoplasty is not having to constantly think about your nose anymore. Very liberating.
I hope you'll keep us posted on your progress.
