Rhinoplasty- Worst Decision of My Life! Nose Tip BUTCHERED
ORIGINAL POST
I know this isn't technically a review but......

I know this isn't technically a review but... I figured I share my "before" experiences with you before going under the knife.
I am scheduled to have my rhinoplasty next week and I am very nervous about it. Below I provided a few photos of my current look. Basically I have wanted a more slender/aesthetically pleasing nose all my life. As a child, I was often called Miss Piggy because of my upturned, pudgy nose (as well as for my very full face which doesn't seem to be getting thinner as I age even though I am of normal weight!). Yes I know my nose isn't THAT bad but this is still something I've wanted for a very long time. I call it a "tweaking."
So the objectives of this surgery are to 1. slim my nose down (bridge and tip), 2. round out my bridge at it is completely flat (almost a square) since at a 3/4 view it will make my nose look like it has a bump when it doesn't! and 3. lower the tip as it is upturned a little too high.
I will reveal my doctor after the surgery... So wish me luck! Please positive comments as I am nervous enough as it is haha

Sorry for the circles over my eyes in the photos...
Sorry for the circles over my eyes in the photos but for now I am concerned with privacy issues! I didn't mean to make myself look so creepy haha but hopefully this way you can just take my nose as it is....

He does specialize in rhinoplasty so I think he will be the best option for me for now. I took my photos down because everyone keeps saying not to get one... which isn't helpful since I am having the surgery in less than 4 days! I know I want my nose thinned...
I have a lot of family issues with the procedure. They don't want me to do it either.

Gotcha! Let's try to be supportive, all right folks? What may look fine to an outsider, can be very much not fine to the person wearing the feature.
I'll be interested to see how your surgery goes and what you think when the splint comes off!

Hi Angiemcc, I posted some before photos!
Also is it a point to bring up to surgeons to make nostrils smaller?

Thank you! I (obviously) hope it goes well. Still pretty nervous though.... the "what if"s are going through my head!

Good luck with your surgery, LezPez! I hope it goes well. :)

hii...I think on the side, your profile is VERY nice....Straight, maybe thin the tip a little bit and maybe the nostrils a little smaller...but your profile is beautiful..Please let us know and make sure you post your pictures up soon after surgery ! Im from Yonkers and I am considering a surgeon from White Plains as well, could be the same one, So pleaseee let me know...

DID I mention you have sucha beautiful profile !!! I dont think your nose looks bad, I have the same almost nose as you...just alittle longer on the side...I think the outcome of this nose job will definitely be better than you had it ! I'm sure !

So wait do you mean the nose job will make it prettier or no? Haha
For my profile, I just want the tip lowered a teeny weeny bit... I stressed to my doctor that I just think it's a little too high and I hate it that people can see so clearly up my nostrils... nose hairs and all!
The thinning of the tip is my main thing... as you can see in my frontal pictures. Also he is rounding out the bridge. It is not obvious in these two photos (only from 3/4 view) but it's just so flat! It makes me look like I have a bump!

Ah I am done! Had to wait a looong time for my relative to pick me up but whoohew! I feel pretty great except for massive dry mouth... So realize when you come to you will be very raspy and craving water immediately. I was told my procedure went very well so I am hoping I will love my results!
Looking at my face now... I have prominent bruising under my eyes and the area between my eyes is so swollen that it's pushing against my eyes a little and making them look a little smaller... No biggie though. I attached a picture of myself in the car on the way home. Excuse my appearance. Thank goodness I have Arnica and my vitamin C at home waiting for me!

Think about!
Wish I could go back in time and stop this from happening!!
Did you remove your photos? I missed them, drat!
I've been through two rhinoplasties and would love to offer you any guidance or support you need! I had the opposite issues you did: a long, skinny nose and face. I'm so glad I had my procedure done though.
Make sure your surgeon specializes in Rhinoplasty!! Very, very important. And please let us know how things progress as you get close to the big day.
