WORTH IT$5,500
I've always hated my nose, mainly because I was bullied as a child. I've gone to several consultations, however, I was never fully satisfied. Last year I decided to go to a free consulation with Dr. Marcelo Ghersi, whom I found on this website and was so pleased I did. Dr. Ghersi was able to formulate a picture on the computer of how my nose would some what look after surgery and I fell in love. I've literally read almost every rhinoplasty story on realself and the supplies I should purchase for a smooth healing process but now that my surgery is two days away and I'm feeling very anxious. Any advice?

Please just consider looking at the rhinoplasty review below, entitled "Not happy with my surgery, Miromar, FL. The girl is still beautiful, but I think she rightly has discerned that she was most beautiful with her natural nose, pre-surgery. Plastic surgeons and doctors can be very convincing, and they'll likely tell you you look great post surgery (even if that is not the case), no matter what you think. That is not to say they don't help some people, but you are an individual who, in my opinion, does not need help, and anything that is done will only detract from your beauty. Of course hindsight is 20/20, but don't let this happen to you, because there's no going back once you go through with it. I'm sorry if I seem to be going a little overboard, but I know if I was thinking of doing something like this, I'd want someone to say this to me. I have a deviated septum, and I'm still beautiful, it's a part of nature.

My first 3 days!
I had my surgery on the 22nd of March. The first day I was in a lot of pain and pressure, I slept most of the day and the second day as well. My eyes swelled up really badly. My doctor said I made him work a lot lol. I am honestly so thankful for my sisters who came to visit me and take care of me, as well as my boyfriend! I cannot wait till Wednesday to take off my cast and see somewhat of my results!

Thanks for sharing before photos, so helpful to see where you started. I hope you're doing well, can't wait for the reveal.

OP, you are beautiful as you are, but you also know yourself best and this doesn't sound like an impulse decision in the slightest. Everything will be OK.
I am jumping in here before this conversation gets out of hand and turns into a who's right or wrong conversation. While it's RealSelf's goal to provide a safe and supportive platform for open discussion about treatments "beyond the beauty counter." going on about this in someone else's review is not the appropriate place. For further discussion of the pro's and con's of plastic surgery/rhinoplasty, one can create a forum post .
