My journey started in the 4th grade when I first started being teased about my appearance. I had inherited my fathers' nose and on a young girl it wasn't attractive. Kids' found it entertaining to point out my flaws on a daily basis which began my life of low self confidence. I have always focused on what people think of me and am often too self concious to walk up to someone without fearing they are staring at my nose. Finally after years of battling with this feeling internally I spoke up this last winter with more of a deman that I was getting this surgery no matter what. My surgery is scheduled for Monday June 10th and the day can't come soon enough.

My nose looks very similar to yours, and I also have thought and thought about rhinoplasty. I finally made a decision to do it after 22 years of thinking about it. ( I am 38 years old). I am extremely scared and nervous. I am scheduled for June 24th. Are you going to have your nose narrowed? I can't decide if I should or if I should just take off the hump and fix the tip. I am worried about compromising the structure of my nose if I have it narrowed.

They are fixing the hump, breaking the bones to narrow it, bringing up the tip, and making the projection less. Plus creating a more feminine exterior nostrils. It is supposed to be a 2 1/2 hour surgery.

Isn't narrowing the nose meaning breaking the bones. If u remove the hump..the nose has to be broken to close that area. Bc of open roof deformity ??

Yes to narrow the nose they do break the bones but I thought maybe if I just had the hump removed they wouldn't have to do that. I have an appt on Tuesday with my doctor to discuss everything so I will find out. But I guess you are right they would have to narrow the nose in order to remove the hump.

Boy, can I relate to your story (even the part about being from Northern Michigan!). Is Dr. Mussman located in Petoskey or Traverse City or somewhere else?
