Like almost all of you I have hated my nose ever...
WORTH IT$5,500
Like almost all of you I have hated my nose ever since middle school. I was always made fun of and called names throughout middle school/high school. I feel like a fairly confident person but my nose is always in my mind, wondering if people are staring, etc. So I have finally scheduled my appointment! My consult is the 28th and procedure November 4th. I love Real Self and have been looking at everyone's reviews for a while. I'm glad to be a part of the family now!

Okay so I'm starting to get more nervous. I have my consultation on Monday and I guess reality is setting in. I don't want to be super bruised afterwards so I'm worried. I also don't know how painful recovery will actually be. On a good note I am excited to see what the simulated before/after picture will be. Waiting is the hardest part at this point!

Physically the surgery isn't bad. Not painful really. It's a much harder journey emotionally. Also bring pictures and really really articulate what you want done.

Yes I am worried about looking at myself afterwards and what other people will think.. Is that what was hardest for you?

I am excited for you! I'm right there with you on the count down- my surgery is on November 5! Looking forward to riding alongside as we go through this on the same timeline. Be Well!

Wow we will be going through this together! Are you going to use arnica or anything special to help minimize bruising?

I am picking up some arnica but my dr said he has his patients use perpetration H on the nose for swelling he said that it might sound unconventional but it works very well to pull the swelling out.

The final stretch is here. My surgery is Monday and I'm so nervous. I keep researching how people feel psychologically after getting this done. I know it's a big change and you have to get used to seeing yourself differently. I can't believe the time is finally here for me. I bought Arnica and Bromelain. I still need ice packs to help with the swelling. Other than that I think I'm good to go!

Good luck! Can't wait to hear from you again... My surgery is later this month, so I'm madly reading too :)

If you get depressed easily I have to warn you that recovery is going to drain you. I am 4 days post op and going psychologically insane. Im miserable and crying nonstop, total big baby. I wish you the best of luck and I hope your recovery goes smoothly
