hi, i had a low self esteem because of my nose since i was 13 years old it started when some people at school used to make fun of my nose, well i grew up and i was alway trying out for beauty pagents i had what it took but i was not confident i always though the other girls were prettier than me because theyre nose were perfect, i always dreamed of getting a rhinoplasty i just didnt know when, so im 25 now and i felt like this is the time to enjoy life and not to leave things for later , so this would be my last year to compete in beauty pagents, so i prayed so much for God to guide me to the right surgeon that would give me the result i wanted, i meet 3 different ones , and the last one who is Dr. Salzhauer from Bal Harbour Plastic Surgery , i knew right away when he came in the room that he was the one, i had a list of things to discuss about how i wanted how i disnt want it but i didnt even have to say anything i felt like he knew exacly what he was doing and he made me feel so confident and sure about moving on with the procedure, i felt so comftable and sure that he was the best ! that the day of surgery i wanted to know that he was right beside me to feel calm for the anestesia he trasmits so much tranquility and peace, his staff is amazing and his office so beautiful and fancy, i was not afraid at any moment it was a piece of cake i woke up the first day was great i was so alert i felt like i was ready to move on with my activities , but of course i had to rest the nurse from Bal Harbour Plastic surgery came to visit me at my hose the next i thought that was pretty cool i just kept telling her i was amazed how great i was feeling i never felt any pain throughout the whole process, just a mild headache the 3rd day due to the wear off of the anestesia other than than i didnt get any bruising and the 5th day the little bit of swellsness went away, i guess he was very gentle... so when it was time to take off the cast and see my new nose, i was extremely happy that i cried tears of joy the girls that works at the office were hugging me and they were happy for me too !! only i know what it ment to me, i felt completely beautiful for the first time! and all my worries of not coming out like i wanted went away because the nose he gave me was just perfect !!! so 3 weeks later after the surgery i competed for my first pageant and i won Miss South Florida , and 2 months after the surgery i won Thr tittle of Miss Brasil Usa 2014 the diference between the pageants i did before and now now is that this time i actually won because i had CONFIDENCE ! i felt beautiful ! and i transmitted that through my smile, so just had to share this story with you guys because it is very worth it it was a dream come true my nose wasnt that ugly but it bothered me and i found the right Plastic Surgeon and now i am very happy and satisfied with the way i look, he gave me so much confidence that im going to compete for miss usa next !

Congrats on your wins and know you have a RealSelf fan club here for your competition...it's so true what you wrote about confidence. It's personal. You were clearly beautiful before and after, but there is nothing more beautiful that a confident woman.
