I am 21 years old , engaged with a 10 month old...
WORTH IT$9,500
I am 21 years old , engaged with a 10 month old daughter ! Tomorrow November 1st will be my very first consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist ( Dr. Spencer Cochran ). He has good reviews and I liked his before and after results a lot !! I have a desired nose in mind! Something feminine and a lot smaller than mine now ! The way my nose used to look before I broke it ! I used to be called all types of names growing up. (Bird names, Pinocchio , Tucan Sam, big nose, etc etc..) it all started when I was 11. Kids used to ask what happened to my nose because a small bump started appearing . They all asked to touch it! And ever since my nose has only gotten bigger and worse !!! And I've also been having breathing issues for about 10 years . Constantly blowing my nose all day long !!! Terrible and gross habit . Hopefully I can have some clue of what I can do to fix this huge issue! My nose is WAY too big for my tiny face , and tissues in every pocket/ purse / room.. is only getting more annoying !!! I pray for the best !! Hopefully I can get it done and feel confident and let my biggest insecurity go!!

My first consultation 11/1/2016
I saw Dr. Spencer Cochran today. He was very polite and answered all my questions !! He showed me the surgery I would need for my very crooked nose and explained it all in perfect detail. He showed me a computer image of the before and after of my nose. And edited my photo to give me the results ( I WANT ) and he did it all right in front of me ! It was amazing to see how he could fix something I thought would be nearly impossible to fix. Dr. C explained that I could choose what I wanted my results to look like. And this was amazing to me, because I didn't think my high hopes and dreams were achievable ! But he reassured me that i could have exactly what I want if not, close enough ! And that made me feel so much better about getting it done . I didn't know how messed up my nose really was until he showed me up close and explained everything wrong with it. He wants to give me a slight slope with an overall smaller nose and that's exactly what I want ! In the next few months I'll set up a surgery date !! :D

You're gorgeous young woman! Beautiful face you could be a model! I do understand that you want your nose to be done and I think you will be so pleased with the results. Your surgery will be so much easier then mine. Secondary rhinoplasty is much more complicated and I'm already so in love with my new nose (few hours after surgery!!!!)

Aww Thankyou soo so much !! That's so sweet of you to say!! And oh wow I'm sorry you had to get it done a second time , that's not fair :( . But I'm so so happy you're already loving the way it looks and it's not even near the end result!! That's so wonderful !! (: xoxo
