Waiting on insurance.. It usually takes 6 weeks for a preauthorization. My Dr did a peer to peer, still waiting. Hope we know in time of surgery and do not have to reschedule....Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty/ Turbinoplasty/Ostetomy. I am so ready for this. I have headaches between my eyes a lot. I always feel like I have a stuffy nose too. My nose is too big for my face and my profile.. not so in love with, it's manly. I played softball since I was 6, been hit really hard a few times in my playing years. In the 6th grade is when my peers started to notice and called me names. My parents were so loving.. I remember coming home and crying...a lot. They always reassured me that I was Beautiful and that everyone is different. Through Jr high and highschool, kids are just mean.. I know that I have character and am humble to know that everyone is different. I would never ever bully or make fun of anyone!! Today I am 31 years old, I am a mother of 4. I married my high school sweetheart!! I stay at home and get to be with my kids. Well on a few occasions, I will help out with school activities, little kids have some creative questions about my nose. Now that I am older I don't take it to heart. So..... Through all these amazing years I have researched and watched videos, been to consultations, and I found this awesome site Realself.com and decided to make another consultation. In February sat down with Dr. Nelson and spent an hour and a half going over all my questions and likes and dislikes. I had another appointment with him in March to look at his work/patients and booked a surgery date April 17, 2015. I love reading others Reviews and seeing pictures before/after! The Dr.'s art is a Blessing in our Lives!! I can't wait!

Great! I am still waiting for the right window of time but I could be scheduling in a month or all the way into July sometime. I have always felt like my nose dominated my face and as I age it seems to be getting larger on the tip. Talked to my husband an said make an appointment but I know better....this is a busy time of the year. It is really quite fun and exciting to watch all the transformations. I'll be on this site lot in the next months. It's pretty daily lately. I have become a bit obsessed with reading all the stories and watching the videos.

Bummer... insurance denied

lovelymama
I have cigna insurance.. Needing additional information. I am a mother of 4.. I don't go to the Dr for anything.. So I have no documentation of anything. My chosen Dr did not call or email anything with suggestions or to say the next step. That's definitely a blessing he is not the one.... The Dr fees were $7700 and hospital fees and anesthesia was total $15000. That is not something I am ready to pay out of pocket.. I think things happen for a reason.. As things seemed to work out it just did not. I am not having good vibes from local surgeons.. I am thinking about others now.. Dr. G is someone I have really been researching... Anyone want to share ideas ..would love to hear from you??!!!
