1 year 3 months post op & NO REGRETS :D

I am currently 19 years old going on 20 this August, and I've been wanting to reshape my nose since my pre-teen years. It's a bit hooked down and I have a large bump on the bridge. My self-consciousness about my nose started when I was in middle school and it started growing larger out of proportion to the rest of my face. A couple of kids would point it out and make funny of me telling me that I looked like a bird or that I had a parrot nose. Sometimes with the kids that I would have arguments with would call me 'big nose' and it would hurt my feelings terribly and I would cry so much that I could barely talk because it was true and there was nothing I could do about it. I was never aware of that because I never looked at myself in the mirror from the side, but I did one day and I hated the sight of it. I became so self-conscious of it and I felt so ugly because I was never aware that my nose looked like that. As I grew older I kind of ignored it, but I still had a very low self-esteem. My senior year of high school I learned to accept my self how I was and learned to love myself because really I had nothing to complain about because I had perfect health. Even though my self esteem was at it's highest, I wasn't 100% satisfied with my nose, but I no longer let it bother me like it use to. Close to graduation in 2010, I decided to schedule an appointment with a cosmetic surgeon just to see what a computerized image of a rhinoplasty surgery would look like, and to go over prices. I liked the new picture of what my nose would look like after a surgery. I wasn't completely satisfied with it because I'm not sure what it would look like from the front, but the image looked way better than my original nose. I scheduled my appointment for some time after graduation. As the time went by something else came up so then I didn't have the money for the surgery; therefore, I cancelled it. Now, I have enough money available to reschedule another consultation and go through with the surgery. My new consultation will be July 20th, and I am eager to see the computerized images of my new nose because I can't really remember them from 2010. I would love to have a new nose because I am a rather small girl (5'1", 115 LB), and I'd love for it to be porportionate to the rest of my body. My nose has made me feel self-conscious when people record me in videos or take pictures of me. I don't even like to talk to people from the side I try to look at them from the front of my face. Like I said, it's not THAT big of deal anymore like it use to be, but I feel that with this surgery I would feel completely comfortable with my appearance. So hopefully my consultation goes well and I go through with the whole operation.

Thank you every one for reading, and I would appreciate advice and tips for the stages I'm going through right now about the consultation! Thanks!

So I received a call this morning and there was a cancellation and I took the new date for my consultation June the 9th. It's a little bit more than a week away. I'm kind of excited already to see the new results!

Okay, so I messed and on my last update put June when I meant JULY. So correction: my new consultation date is JULY the 9th/ next Monday! Excited! I think I have chosen the right Doctor for this which is Dr. Graper of Charlotte, NC, but I am still looking around for more/better options. :)
