Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Went in today for my first laser hair removal session under my under arms using light sheer. I'm not sure what my skin type is but I'm brown skinned (about Beyoncé complexion). My biggest fear was the treatment would not work because of my complexion but so far so good. The pain was minimal on a considerably high setting. My underarms feel very smooth. I'm so used to having razor bumps or irritation. I don't know how long this will last but I scheduled my next treatment 4 weeks from now. I'll update about that.

Now on to rhinoplasty. Dr. Kleiman showed me my before and after photos. He must deal with a lot of patients with unrealistic expectations because he kept reassuring me that everything won't be "perfect", even after rhino. There will still be asymmetry in other areas of the face/head that can make the rhino seem imperfect and there's so many people that expect instant gratification after surgery. RHINOPLASTY CAN TAKE OVER A YEAR TO FULLY HEAL! I've done my research for years, so I know better. We also discussed exactly what he was going to do. So far it looks good. I'm super excited. My next appointment will be after my pre-op clearance from my primary doctor. I'll be getting a break down of pricing and if the numbers look good I will commit to surgery and have it done here. If not then I will be booking my flight for South Korea. I already did online consultation with them as well.

These are Asian noses. One is very similar in shape to mine (before picture) and their post surgery photo is perfect and exactly what I desire :)
