Ethnic Rhinoplasty

I’ve always wanted a new nose. Ever since my mom told me 8 years ago that I look pretty except that my nose is too big, i started developing a low self-esteem. And ever since that, I dreamt of having a smaller nose. In all honestly, I don’t really want a high bridged nose all I wanted was a small nostril a smaller alar base and a narrow tip so it will fit my small face. Finally I have some money saved up and for the past year ive been researching for a great Dr. that can do Asian Rhinoplasty and Asian upper eyelid surgery. Yes, also an upper eyelid surgery. You got that right. Why? I am 26 years old and I am not really a make-up person, but about 6 years ago I started putting on some eyeliner when we’re going to the club and I realized that my upper eyelid crease is not even. Wow. So not only do I have a big nose (well for my face) I also have un-even eyelids! One has crease and the other doesn’t. its annoying how you have to put uneven eyeliner as well…. So back to my quest on finding a good doctor, my friend told me that I have to have a really good Rhinoplasty doctor. Someone that can change my nose but will still look natural. She said its always hard to find a great doctor for the nose so I have to be careful. Ive read a lot of good reviews about Dr. Shah in Chicago. And by now I am pretty much going on to that route. The only thing is, I haven’t read a single review about Dr. Shah on an Asian upper eyelid surgery, so that pretty scares me. I want to look very natural, I don’t want to tell any of my friends that I had surgery. Only my boyfriend and 1 friend knows. Oh well, I am finally scheduled to see him for my first consultation on sept 29. I am so excited. Ive been waiting for this but at the same time I am so nervous, I don’t want to ruin my nose and eyes. I hope he really is what im thinking and I hope Dr. Anil Shah can help me. all the reviews online helps me a lot. I am just hoping they are all legit. I am going to update once I am done with my consultation. Please comment below and give me some advice! Thank you everyone!

So.. instead if 9/29. they're moving my appointment on 10/1 (Wednesday). they said Dr. Shah is not available to see me that day. :( its okay. its only 2 days difference. but lately i get mixed emotions
Sometimes I feel like I am fine the way I am. That I don’t need a nose job. But ive always hated my nose.. its not really that its too big.. but I think it doesn’t fit my face (yeah.. you can say its big) I am afraid to be judged by people that I had a nose job. As much as possible I wanna keep it a secret and hopefully people wont notice it if I decide to get it done.

The farther the consultation date is, the more I get mixed emotions. I feel like I need to talk to Dr. shah and see if he can help me. prolly just to make myself at ease. I am also hoping my budget will work having it done with him.

Waaa too many things on my mind!! I cant wait for my consultation!
Anyway, can anybody still give some comments about Dr. Shah.
I will greatly appreciate it!

So I just heard my friend is getting married by March next year. I really want to look good on her wedding day. hopefully, if everything works out with my consultation with dr. Shah. I can get it done around November so I can look good on Christmas and my friend’s wedding. Still, its been a bumpy ride. I hate the fact that I had to wait for almost a month to get a consultation with him. I guess theyre always busy in that clinic. But as I mentioned in my previous review. I still get mixed emotions. i feel like sometimes I don’t want to do it. I am afraid he’ll botched my nose and eyes. Or the pain I will feel during and after surgery. But at the same time I really wanted a nicer nose. Gosssh I have to be patient. 10 days before I see him. And I know I would be able tell if he’s the right doctor for me. but for now. i still feel like a wheel. sometimes im very on the go and excited and sometimes im very scared.
