I FINALLY DID IT! After years and years of looking for Doctors, I finally found one that was a perfect fit!! I chose Dr. Gregory Roberts in Plano Texas because he listened to what i had to say, and also offered medical advice for what i wanted, could have, and should avoid. Some doctors offer cookie cutter noses that dont always fit a persons specific facial shape, but during my first consultation, Dr. Roberts took the time to get up close and personal with mine to make sure my nose would fit me, and look 100% natural. He takes into consideration, your height (to avoid piggy nose), what you have to work with, and what could be reshaped. He also makes sure to put safety and health above aesthetic.
So initially my total cost was going to be $8,250(+ additional $850 for anesthesia) but i went for my consultation during a 20% off promotion, so that knocked it down to $6,600(+850 for anesthesia) BUT THEN! around 3 months after my consultation, i got a call saying there was an available spot open within the next week if I wanted to take it (They usually are booked full for like 2months at a time), and if I did, they would discount me an additional $500 for sudden scheduling! I was so ready for it, that I said YES! Bringing my cost down to $6,110 (+$850)
GUYS I SAVED $2,150!!
I do want do disclaim that you should never chose a doctor based on price. Always go with the one who listens to you, who takes time with you, and has the best experience, (and of course Board Certified), Its your body and face, so if it is a little more expensive than you expected, its because you're getting the best. I just got super lucky with this discount that I had to mention it.
So anyway! follow my journey if you wish! I will be putting together a Vlog once I finish recovering as well :) :)

So I was super nervous on Surgery day, anything that could go wrong was going through my head, but everybody at the facility was super comforting and soothing! Even the tone of their voices were so relaxing. They made small conversation with me that totally put me at ease. My nurse was so incredibly helpful that i continuously thanked her and had to hug for making me feel so comfortable.
They walked me into the operating room *in a fabulous gown* and layed me down with my legs elevated. I looked up at the lights trying to mentally prepare, but before i could, I was already out! *The anesthesia was through IV*
It felt like seconds had gone by from looking at the lights to waking up after the procedure! I couldnt believe it was already done! I was still super droopy, and barely remember going home, but my Bf vlogged all of it (Which we will post in about a month the whole experience)
Apparently i was singing the theme song to Jurassic Park, in my loopy state LOL

Okay so far these past few days have been super groggy. Luckily i work from home and its totally acceptable for me to walk around the house in a robe haha. The first night my bf pulled our mattress into the living room made me a little sleep pod (blankets, pillows, etc) That way i could sleep elevated and he could be near me 24/7. (yay) Day 1 post op, my bruising was heavily developed, but the swelling hadnt really made an appearance yet. We went to the 'day after' followup for a checkup and everybody was super nice. After they cleaned my nose up a little but We went home, and I just stayed in my pod all day. Day 2 and 3 the swelling showed up to the party and it was MASSIVE. My bf made jokes about me looking like a cartoon character because my eyes were so little and cheeks were humongous lol. Our friends definitely had a laugh. Day 4 has been the easiest so far, and I'm starting to feel like my old self again! Strutting around like normal and eating foods like its nobody's business lol. A FEW MORE DAYS TILL THE CAST COMES OFF!
