Update:
Things happened in my life that I had to postpone the surgery. Now that its been a few months, I've been considering a different doctor. I'm thinking of doing the surgery in February (that's how booked he is), so will keep you updated.

IM SO NERVOUS! really hoping it will be everything I wanted and that I'm going with the right doctor. I HATE the anticipation! I keep looking at all the people on here already been through it and posting their results and then watching how their nose changes from swelling after a few months and i I want to be on the other side already! but then i'm also scared...what if it won't be nothing like I want it?

ALAKSJDFEI! About 17 days more to go...!

ok, my first dr, was upon two referrals, both friends whe he did and looked good, don't get me wrong he did ok. I did no research because I was young and and had no fear or idea something could ever go wrong. All three drs were in the suburbs of Philadelphia PA.
Best of luck to you! Don't hesitate with any other questions

Sorry I forgot, my last and final dr did ONLY facial plastic surgery, these drs today do too much instead of concentrating on one area. Its all for the $$$

Changed the date to August 6 due to personal schedule conflict....so they told me i'll be the second person instead of the first that day...and it kinda worried me..what if he's too tired?!? I know its stupid...but I stress out, thats what I do and so I'm nervous that I'm not going to be the first person in the morning he sees....CROSSING MY FINGERS because I know he's a professional!

Hi Kat
I personally think you should stick with just shaving the bump down and not doing any other changes. That way, you have your same look from the front but softer and a great profile. I made the mistake of getting tip work done and i hate it. But talk to some other people they may have a different story, just letting you know to be cautious and know EXACTLY what you want before you get it done. Also be on the same exact page as your doctor on what is going to be done. Tell him you don't want it wider, thinner, shorter etc. Be very specific on exactly what you want. Besides myself i know2 other people who were surprised after finding out what was done on their noses after it was too late. You don't want any surprises. Good luck to you though - it really can be a great experience for many

i think your nose would look beautiful with just taking down the bridge a little i don't think you need any other changes

I just read your post and I'm glad to hear that you are starting to see changes. The healing process seems very long...and i'm the opposite from a patient person! I am def looking into possibly just removing the bump down and maybeeeeeee lifting the bottom of my nose a bit, but otherwise two other doctors told me they wouldn't need to touch the tip.

I guess we get so excited sometimes that we forget that really we just wanted a small change and then get carried away with a lot more procedures to our nose. Is there any way I can see your before and after? I'd love to see them and see your progress

yes i can send you photos of before and after if you want, just pm me with a e-mail address. i still wish i never did it, i would take it back, just getting the bridge shaved down I wouldn't ever take back, but the rest was not worth it.

three words of advice from someone who has had 3 nose jobs, check out doctor, is he board certified, did you see photos of his patients, have you spoken to any of his patients.
I don't want to scare you but in the righ hands, you will have nothing to worry about.
If its the hump you want shaved then tell him that is what you want, its your choice!!!!
I am right now considering laser lipo on my stomach, I don't know whether or not to do it some of the things I read on here have scared me to death!!! If you want to know more about my surgeries, I will explain in detail to you just let me know. But good luck and no worries if you are confident with the dr you chose.

If you could do it all over again what would you change in your research? how did you find your first doctor and how did you research him? also if you don't mind me asking what area was your doctor in? thanks for the kind word of advice!
