Hey everyone I just wanted to thank all of you who have shared your stories. They have all helped me with this decision of getting my nose fixed!
I'm 20 years old and I've been wanting a nose job since I was 14. I actually have a really sad journal entry dated 11/18/08 where I write about how much I hate my nose:(
This will be my first surgery and I'm already getting really nervous for it. It's crazy to think that this year 2014 will be the last time my nose looks like this. My face will change forever!

My goal is to have a nose straight profile and for the bridge of my nose to be uniform in width. I feel like my nose is so bony and the skin is so thin on it that you can see every lump and bony edge the tip is so big and round I hate it!!!!!! I am confident that Dr Berkowitz will shape my nose the way it will best fit my face.

I am so happy for you! I had a very similar deviation like yours. I never thought ANY plastic surgeon would be able to get mine so straight, they just kept saying "we can get it straightER" but Dr. Daniel gave me a PERFECTLY straight bridge. I am keeping you in my thoughts and hoping you have a quick and painless recovery:)

Actually mine is on the 31st but I am leaving (it's out of state) on the 29th so I got excited lol. They haven't told me what time my surgery is yet, have they told you?
December 10, 2014
Yeah they told me the day I scheduled my surgery date. I have to arrive at 11:30 am and I'm pretty sure the surgery is at 1 pm. New year, new nose! Can't wait! :)

Today I went to take pictures of my nose with a medical photographer. Dr Berkowitz will sketch out a possible outcome on the pictures (from my understanding).

I'm getting pretty nervous. I'm the bigest pessimist and I always think of the worst case senario. I have my pre-op appointment next Monday 12/15. Hopefully seeing what my nose could look like will calm my nerves. I'm hoping in the end this will all be worth it and Ill have the perfect nose for my face next year.

Your surgery is exactly one week after me :). Wishing you the best! I think it will be well worth it and you will love your new nose.

Starting to get very nervous...

I'm starting to think that my upper lip will look really long?!:(
I'm getting my tip lifted since it droops when I smile so now I'm thinking I will have a lot of space between the base of my nose and my top lip and I'm getting really freaked out. I don't wanna have a piggy looking nose.
I have my pre op appointment on Monday. I'll have to bring this up to my surgeon and just hope it doesn't turn out that way:(
