WORTH IT

I had my consult for African American Rhinoplasty on Mon & I got my surgery date today. I'm so nervous & excited at the same time. Dr. Boahene was very knowledgeable, professional & very nice...I feel comfortable with leaving my nose in his hands with faith & prayer. I know I'll be good still nervous though lol ????????????????

How exciting, when is your surgery date scheduled for

March 11, 2017

It's scheduled for 4/14. Yes very exciting & very nervous lol.

March 12, 2017

lol I bet! I plan on having a consultation with him. What all did he plan to do with your nose

March 15, 2017

O ok awesome when is your consult? He's going to make my bridge smaller, nostrils smaller (which I hate) & my bulbous shorter. What all do you want done?

March 16, 2017

I had all that too and my operation was yesterday (March 15th). I'm trying to document my journey on here but my posts have yet to be approved.

March 16, 2017

O ok congrats. How are you feeling? Who was your Dr?

March 12, 2017

Dr.Kofi seems amazing, what is the cost?

March 12, 2017

youre already pretty! good look with your surgery. I also had mine with Dr B

March 15, 2017

Thank you so much. How did you like your results?

March 15, 2017

Didn't really like it as I have some complications now. I have a review on my page. I feel like I'm just unlucky though. Good luck to you I'm sure you'll look great after too

March 15, 2017

I'm so sorry to hear you're having complications. I pray it gets better. I bet you look beautiful, we are always so much harder on ourselves.

March 16, 2017

You are so pretty! Got mine done four months ago and regret it everyday!!! Just be sure this is what you really really want!! At least before I could look In the mirror and I was beautiful!! Really not trying to scare you but I wish someone warned me!!! - if you can look beautiful in selfies and feel confident just reconsider!! Remember 20 percent seek revisions and 50 percent really want them.

March 16, 2017

Thank you very much. I'm so sorry to hear that you are regretting your surgery. I'm sure you're still beautiful. Did you go to Dr Boahene? Do you feel comfortable sharing some before & after pics with me? What is it that you don't like about your nose? Yes I really do want to have it done. I've been wanting it for a while now. I use to be real heavy & really didn't notice how big my nose was until I lost all the weight over 7 years ago.

March 16, 2017

I did not go to dr b,
I'm not sure how to send them lol I'm new to this! I can if u want. I went to a well known surgeon.... I always thought my nose was big too but the reason why no one ever notices is because people's perception of themselves is different than other people's! I too am in my late 30s.... and I feel that the risk is not worth the millimeter taken in here and there! I mean it truly is my opinion but I only commented bc I wish I would have just took a step back before I did it, and someone would have said this to me!congrats on your weight loss that's wonderful!!! Knowing my nose will never be squishy again too - didn't know that- didn't know I would still be dripping snot at 4 months post ... or even looking in the mirror and you no longer fully see yourself... just all things to consider ! ... I always wanted this too... crazy- not being negative at all but please consider all of the bad as well as you are so beautiful!

March 16, 2017

Again thank you so much I really do appreciate your advise. Yes I really want to see your nose. You can email me if you feel comfy. Cswirl80@comcast.net.

I'm a 35-yr-old black female living in the UK. I had it done there in Birmingham with a well respected surgeon. His name is Dr. Fazel Fatah. I've just been at home resting but the pain level is very minimal now after just one day. And I think I can stop taking my pain meds as early as tomorrow (Day 2). The bleeding is clotting now which is excellent. I'm rarely seeing a blood flow like I did during operation day. And I can only slightly breathe from my nostrils. Most of the breathing is done through the mouth but I've grown use to it. I have no side effects after taking my pain meds. The nuse rang me today just to see how my recovery was getting on. For me it's been a breeze. I told her I was one of the lucky ones and she was pleased. I don't even have bruising under my eyes. The cast comes off next Thursday so I do feel that's a bit long. But I'm anxious to see what my new nose looks like. I can see its smaller already even with the cast on. I don't have any regrets because at this point I feel anything would be an improvement! I did ask for the work to be subtle, and not too drastic. So yeah, we shall soon see how it all pans out. Are you nervous?

March 16, 2017

O Ok nice when will you be returning back to the UK? I'm so happy to hear your doing good. That's a blessing you didn't have any bruising under your eyes. I can't wait to see your before & after pictures. I'm so excited for you. I'm extremely nervous. I prayed about it & I know I'm leaving my nose in good hands. So, I know I'll be alright but I am nervous & excited to see what the new nose will look like.

March 16, 2017

No I live in the UK so that's where I had it done. I wanted to get if done locally because I have a young son. Well, he's a teen but still an impressionable young lad and I just didn't want to do any major travelling. But I did do my research and feel I made the right choice. He listened to all my requirements and didn't try to talk me into doing things I didn't ask for. He showed me the work he's done on black people previously and the results were really nice. I wouldn't trust a surgeon who couldn't produce a portfolio of the black noses he operated on. So that definetely sealed the deal for me. I told him I wanted the work to be noticeable but still subtle. I also told him not to make me look like anyone from the Jacksons. He promised he would make the new nose fit my face without compromising the ethnic structure. I'm just glad the hard part is over because as the surgery day nears you will get nervous. But once it's over the relief will be astounding. It's just becomes a waiting game now. I will post before and afters once my updates get approval. I really want to share my journey with everyone and I wish you the best of luck in your surgery.

March 16, 2017

Awwww o ok got it. Hahahaha @ the Jackson's. I showed my Dr pics of Lil Kim nose & NeNe Leakes. I hate both of their nose jobs. I totally agree. I wouldn't trust a Dr that didn't have any evidence of their work. Thanks Again...

March 16, 2017

Lol Nene Leakes nose job is awful! And Lil Kim has had so many procedures her nose has started to collapse. That we can agree on. I have a similar nose to Teyana Taylor and even Rihanna and their nose jobs are amazing. So natural looking. So if my nose look as good as theirs I'll be very happy. And ur welcome! x

March 16, 2017

That's funny Teyana Taylor & Kelly Rowland was the two noses I showed my Dr that I like. I think they both had very nice nose jobs. Rihanna nose job look good as well. Your nose will look better. Your going to look amazing.

March 16, 2017

Thank you! Kelly's nose job is stunning. I think she's become the #1 celebrity on every black person's wishlist! Finally my first post just went live.

March 16, 2017

Yes I think so too. You look beautiful on your pic.

March 17, 2017

Wanted to share some before pics w/out makeup and to show different angles of my nose. My nostrils are so uneven. I had no idea until I had my consult that one nostril was so much larger than the other lol.
