Rhinoplasty Scheduled After 6+ Years of Research and Wavering! - Atlanta, GA

After 6+ years of researching doctors and wavering about whether I should go forward with getting a nose job, I've finally scheduled my surgery. I know I will get some criticism from people for doing it, but at this point I am confident enough to stand up for my decision to go forward with it. I just REALLY hope it turns out well! My biggest fear is getting this done and coming out worse (like some of the horror stories I've read) but I feel as confident as I possibly can feel with the Doctor I've chosen. I've spoken to past patients of his, which has really put me at ease. He is also very patient and even gave me his cell # at my last consultation in case I had any more questions . I really feel I will get the proper attention and expertise with him. His staff was not pushy like some other places I experienced, which also helps. I am only weeks away from my surgery, and am really glad I don't have a long time to wait because waiting and wondering is probably the hardest part!

I edited a profile view and also a front view of myself to show the results I'm hoping for. The doctor also did imaging but the lighting in his office did too much justice to my "before" nose that you can't really see how bad the state of my nose is in his pics!

Here's what I'm hoping for (I prefer the "shorter" view of the nose vs "shortest")
