Make sure to tell your doctor exactly what you want, don’t rely on his experience and knowledge. Do the digital imaging!!! I has an awesome surgeon, but I regret soooo much that I didn’t emphasize that I wanted this and nothing else. Bring the picture of what you want even on the day of the surgery! Because, during the consultation my doctor told me that that he will be able to do exactly what I want, but on the day on surgery it seems like he forgot completely. He went over the whole procedure with me “I will remove the hump, I will raise a tip a little…” and I was thinking: “wait a minute, what do you mean a little, I want a LOT!” but I trusted him, we have talked about it during consultation and didn’t say anything. I decided to rely on his opinion. And that was very wrong decision. So make sure you are on the same page with your surgeon.
IV, don’t worry at all; you will be a sleep so fast you won’t even notice that.
Good luck!
I personally think it looks great. You didn’t have a really bad nose from the beginning, so to make a change to it – couldn’t be that huge as other people could get.
Thank you so much for sharing! One year later picture – you look amazing. I’m still at 1.5 month post op, and as I noticed it’s a long process to heal, at least in my case.
Thanks a lot for clarifying on numbness in the tip, because I was a bit concerned about tip being this way. But how amazing that we live in the internet era, and can find so many people who went though exactly the same process and we don’t have to terrorize our doctor by asking him thousands of questions “what’s wrong with my tip, why my nostrils are not symmetrical….” Hehehe. Once again, thanks for your comments.
