18 Year Old College Student. Cannot Wait for Rhinoplasty with Dr. Robert Kotler!!!

I had my Pre-Op yesterday. We met with Mary to pay the amount due, which was around $7,000. The first thousand paid was from my deposit, and the rest we will pay the morning of the surgery to the surgery center. The surgery center is basically the next building over from where Kotler's office is.
From there, Mary explained all the aftercare instructions, and what I should begin doing now, two weeks before surgery. She also explained that if I am to get sick, or even have a pimple around the surgery site, I need to postpone the surgery. I was a bit confused about the pimple part, but she said how Kotler's goal is to avoid any infection. This kind of worries me because I am prone to a little bit of acne around my T-zone. She said to buy myself some WitchHazel and use that to clean my face. I also bought emergen-C and plan to drink it regularly up until before the surgery, because knowing me and my luck, I'll get sick and will have to postpone.
From there, it was not planned for me to speak to Kotler, but I requested it just to make sure that he and I were on the same page of what my goals are. This really did help me, because although my goals are in the photoshopped image, I just needed to talk to him again to relieve some nerves that were building up. He made me feel very comfortable, and I am now confident that my results will be just what I want.
Counting down the days!! About 10 days away from what I've always wanted. I am very excited.

I was called today to be reminded of my pre-op for tomorrow. I was told it could be done over the phone, but I asked to come in instead to go over a few questions and my desired results

For most of my life, I knew I wanted to eventually get a nose job. The idea of this particular surgery does not really scare me considering how badly I want it. I actually follow a few plastic surgeons on Snapchat and find cosmetic surgery very interesting.
By my sophomore year of high school, I started looking around online for plastic surgeons that I felt met my standards. I came across Dr. Grigoryants and even had a consultation with him when I was in my senior year. For the most part, I was adamant about Grigoryants being my surgeon. One of my friends, I later found out, had her nose done by him, and I loved her results.
Ultimately, I chose Dr. Robert Kotler as my surgeon. One of my other friends and her sister had their noses done by him not too long ago, and I absolutely love their results. Choosing between Grigoryants and Kotler was a very difficult decision, but after comparing both consultations, I felt very comfortable with the entire experience I had with Kotler and his staff, and I am even excited for his invention: the Kotler Nasal Airway. I look forward to being able to breathe even with all the packaging in my nose. Although Kotler is slightly more expensive than other surgeons I liked, I feel the most comfortable with him performing my rhinoplasty.
I had my consultation with Kotler on October 4, 2017, and about a week later, placed a $1,000 deposit to book my surgery. I have my pre-op coming up on December 22, 2017, and my actual surgery is booked for January 4, 2018.
I decided to wait until my winter break from school to allow me enough time to heal and get used to my new appearance. I really wanted to have it done before college, but I just did not have enough money saved up. After working many hours, I finally have more than half saved of my own money. I plan to finance the rest.
Through looking at Kotler's profile here on RealSelf, I was able to find a few discounts that prompted my consultation scheduling with him. He normally charges $200 for a consultation, but with the discount, I was able to have my consultation for free and even got a few dollars knocked off my actual surgery price. If it weren't for these discounts, I would have stuck with Grigoryants as he charges a few thousand less.
I always try my best to face people directly when talking to them to avoid them talking straight into the side of my nose. I hate looking at pictures taken from my side, and I really do not like how my nose hooks and droops when I am smiling or talking.
My wishes: get rid of dorsal hump, get rid of hanging columella, release tension lip, reduce nasal projection, raise nasal tip, reshape nasal tip. I do like how narrow/skinny my nose is from the front, but I dislike the bulbous tip
