Day 10 :My Rhinoplasty Experience! 19 Year Old Female rhnoplasty- Dallas, TX

So I'm having rhinoplasty!
After much research and deliberation I sent in my information and fee for an online consultation with Dr.Cochran of the Gunter Center about one week ago. He replied yesterday with some general information, specifics on what my surgery will entail, and a price.


( I've attached a picture of info sent on the consultation email)
Rhinoplasty has been in my mind for YEARS, probably since age 12/13 when I became aware I got my fathers nose (not a beautiful nose) :p
I recently turned 19 and have become serious about having the surgery to shrink my schnoz. Since i made the decision I haven't quit looking up stories of people's rhinoplasty experiences (I am a bit of a control freak ( especially when it comes to MY FACE) and I feel the need to prepare my self the best I can). I will attempt to document my journey for any of those who are seeking guidance/ insight in this surgery as well as for my own self reflection.


Today I set up an in person consultation with Dr.Cochran for about 2 and a half weeks from now on January 22nd. I was hesitant today to schedule the surgery for the day after the in person consultation however tomorrow I plan to call the office and schedule it as I am 10 hours away (by car) from Dr. Cochran and do not desire taking more long trips than I need to.


I feel slightly nervous actually scheduling the surgery but this is what I want and if you are debating rhinoplasty, you know why. :) So here we go!

Good luck to you! I've read many great things about Dr. Cochran and plan on a online consult with him myself. I would love to see your before and after photos. Thanks very much for sharing.

Wow, so a pre-op appointment and then surgery the next day!? That's exciting.

You might want to check out this list of supplies to get for your recovery. I'm assuming you'll have someone to drive you back home?

I know! I was a bit hesitant to do so but I know it's the right decision :) Cochran is a great Doctor and this procedure has been in the back of my mind for so long! Yes my father will be driving me to and from. Thanks for the link and encouragement :)

I totally understand I'm a control freak and was nothing but excited but when I actually scheduled the surgery I became nervous. Just stay positive and you'll be good :)

Good job you, for moving ahead with it so quickly when you knew you found the right doctor for you! The pics of people on this site who also went to Dr. Cochran have been testimonials to his talent for sure. Yeah!
