Like many others I realised that my nose maybe...
WORTH IT$5,025
Like many others I realised that my nose maybe wasn't as nice as I thought, when I hit puberty. Also every time when I had short hair I was mistaken for a boy/guy... (Because high fashion was and is not really my piece of cake and wearing wide clothes hide my other female features.)
Over the years I tried to accept myself, but deep inside me was a little voice telling my all the time: what if...? The "if" was mostly - finding the right surgeon as well as having enough money for the procedure.
Now this time has come... because I am also in the U.S. for a while and here I have a wider range of choices than what I would have in my own country. I will have my first consultation with Dr. Shah in december. After doing a lot of research over the last months I decided, that he would be my first choice.
A thing that worries my already after surgery - what do I do with my glasses? My eyesight is really poor and I am not sure I can take my contact lenses in, when my face is swollen.
Sorry if my English is not so good, but it is not my mother tongue.

First Consultation - Appointment set
Over the last days not much has happend. I researched a little more and started to make a list of questions, that I want to ask Dr. Shah. Of course most questions are already answered on the internet, but I guess I just want to make sure ;)
My consultation will be on Dec 11th. Since I do not have an American cellphone number I was just mailing with the office, but that was not a problem. Karin, who works for Dr. Shah, responded very quickly to my mails and I am sure that things will go smoothly.
Since the weather was a little colder over the last days here in Chicago... I did what I do best - I caught a nasty cold. Hopefully I will be better soon :)

Tomorrow is the 1. Consultation!
I am a little nervous about tomorrow, because I am going to see Dr. Shah for the first time. I started making a small list of questions, which I want to ask and what I have in mind to change on my nose.... I will also bring my boyfriend along so he can ask any questions that concern him and I guess I need him for moral support as well. I am also excited to see some possible morphings of my nose, since I haven't really done such a thing myself yet.
Hopefully things will go smoothly :D
