I am scheduled to have surgery the first week of May 2013. I am not getting a full rhinoplasty but more of a nostril reduction as well as enhancement to the tip of my nasal. I am hoping for natural-looking results. I decided to go with the surgeon due to his experience in ethnic rhinoplasty and his experience with Nene Leakes from the Housewives of Atlanta.

I think you look great the way you are. But that's my opinion. You gotta do what feels right for you. I hope you get the results you want! Good luck. ;)

Thank you. I appreciate your comment. It's just a insecurity of mine and I am hoping this rhinoplasty will help my confidence a little. I will keep you updated as I get very close to my surgery date. I am nervous and excited at the same time. Thank you.

Finally I found someone who had the same concern about their nose as I have with mine. I, too have been conscious about the width of my nasal wings since I have an ethnic nose. I was wondering if recovery time is a lot faster in comparison to someone who undergoes a complete rhinoplasty where a graft is placed or the nasal bone was broken down. By the way, you look great in your pictures. I hope you'll feel better about your nose once the swelling of your nose subsides where you can see drastic result. Good luck to you.

Oh my gosh, your nose looks perfect to me! But like Rayah said, it's all about how you feel.

Here's a list of supplies you might need for recovery.

Please let us know how it goes!

I appreciate your comments. Thank you. I just feel my bridge is wide and I would like it to be a little smaller. That is the most important thing I want out of this surgery.

Wide from the front? I don't see that at all. I can understand the nostril reduction. Good luck with everything!

Surgery done today. Nostril reduction and the arch of my nose shaved down. Surgeon felt my tip was perfectly fine. My left nostril seems smaller than my right but surgeon said you have to wait two weeks. Swelling on one side could cause asymmetry for awhile.

Today, had complications from pain meds. Side effect wouldn't let me urinate, so I stopped and switched to Tylenol. Also, bleeding a little bit still. Congestion started this afternoon. I have been using a saline spray to keep the insides of my nose moist. This is definitely a journey.

Your nose suits you perfectly and you have such great skin and smile...just a well balanced face overall. I also think your current nose is so refined it looks like you may have had a rhinoplasty already that I dont think you need anything done but it is all about how you feel when you look in the mirror since your opinion matters the most. I wish you the best of luck!!!!
