I wasn't sure about writing my journey on here, but here i am and here goes! First of all THANK YOU to everyone else who has had the courage to share their stories... Reading them has been amazing!
I really struggle with feeling guilty about it... Spending money on it feels selfish, and honestly I am embarrassed a little (not sure if others feel that way on and off?? Or I am a weirdo?! Lol)
I am also someone that doesn't hate/has hated my nose a lot my whole life which made me hold off for a while. It's not my best feature by any stretch BUT I always felt I could hide it with good shadowing and lots of powder:S lol BUT my insecurity comes from the place that I feel my outside doesn't match my inside... I am bubbly, young, happy, healthy and vibrant (at least I feel I am maybe others would disagree!) BUT I have always been told since I was 17 how much older I look than I am... I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out what is so mature about my face (I have a child's body am very skinny, no boobs to speak of but that's another review that may be in my future:) lol ANYWAYS, I have come to the realization that since my nose is the centre of my face, and on the larger/bulbous side, that it is a big reason and contributor to my less than feminine/baby face situation.
Ok, got all the background out of the way! Soooooooo after researching far and wide, I believe I have found the best of the best, amazing reviews, incredible resources online (and an app) and loads of before and afters that look natural and fantastic, not pinched!
Drum roll!!!!!!!! Dr. Buonosissi!
I am so excited to meet with him and FINALLY, for the first time in my life, be able to get the input from one of the best board certified plastic surgeons (also a lead ENT guy too!) to help give me a more baby faced look which is what I want more than anything. I am going into it excited and hopeful... My theory is if they can change a man into a woman and vice versa, my request of being more cherub like can't be too unachievable:)
Well, will keep you posted for those who are interested or care to read. I am too scared to add photos yet, but may add those from the consult after tomorrow:)

The good stuff... Dr. Buonosissi is just as nice as everyone else has said; he is friendly, open, and I feel totally as ease and trust him. The office was super clean, modern and amazing, and Mandy is literally the best front desk/client manager ever! Lol but seriously, couldn't give any higher recommendation there.
The bad... Well, it sort of it tied to the good. As many people say, you will allays find someone to do what it is that you want, but finding an incredibly honest, talented and ETHICAL surgeon may be a difficult task... Well, that is Dr. Buonosissi. He did say I was a good candidate for a rhinoplasty and it would make my face appear more soft (feature wise) and feminine overall, but that there was literally no other procedures (which I asked him about) that would give me the baby face I want... Or more specifically, that if there WERE things he could do, he would not do them for the reason that it would make me look weird/less attractive than what I have to start with.
Sooooo after viewing the computer imaging (which was really great) I have decided to go ahead with the rhinoplasty... It may not achieve my ideal goal for my physical self, but it will create a softer look, which is a big part of it for me:)
My surgery is set for January 14 so will keep you posted!

Good luck with surgery. Looking forward to your updates.

I love your honest account of your journey so far. A lot of us wrestle with guilt, believe me. It is normal (and part of what makes you an introspective, good person). :) I'm glad you found a doctor you're comfortable with and scheduled your date. That is so exciting! Please keep us posted as you proceed. Here's a list of supplies for recovery.

Thought I would add my 'wish nose':) I think she looks amazing and just a lot softer/more feminine/cuter which is exactly what I

The other pic is a side profile of me (excuse the peeling I just had a peel done and am shedding like crazy!) you can see the hump and ball at the end, and basically how large it is, making me look not cute at all and very masculine.
