I really want to get nose surgery soon! I have always hated my nose! Every time I see a picture of myself its all that I notice about the picture and it annoys me! Its too big and I hate the tip. I have wanted this done since I was in elementary school and I finally I can afford this surgery. I have my first appointment tomorrow with a Dr. who specializes in Nose surgery. I can't wait to take the first step! I will update tomorrow after my appointment :) I'm still kinda nervous about putting pics online of my nose... so maybe I will add some before shots of my ugly nose lol.

I had my first consultation today
Ok I added a few pics. It took a lot of guts and I didn't really want to... but I want you guys to see my before and after pics and see what I am talking about.
This morning I had the first consultation (I am going to see 2 more drs so far). I felt like the dr knew what he was talking about and he told me what he can and can't do. He specializes in rhinoplasty and has done thousands of procedures...so he knows what he is talking about... I told him that I didn't like how my nose was so wide. I feel like it was too big. I also said i don't like the tip and feel like its too droopy. He said that what he would do was to make it less wide, take the small hump down and raise the tip. He said that he would not be able to change the nostrils and would not change the tip (he could just bring it up and reposition it. his price was $6800. The number one thing i don't like about my nose is the way the tip is. it looks too big and droopy (when i look down or smile especially).... I don't know what to do...will his recommendation give me the look I want?

Your nose looks nice , and i think your surgeon is right . Take it from me . Do not mess with yoyr tip. my doctor did and i have a deformed nose now. Please please follow your surgeon advice. He seems wise. Good luck to you .

I think this surgeon's recommendation is great. Your nostrils and tip look perfect to me and it's better not to change as he suggested. If he didn't do a computer simulation I would ask for that as well and maybe go back to him for a second consult. It's important that you and him are on the same page. Meanwhile consult with the other doctors as it's always a good idea to have more than one opinion. Good luck!

Your nose looks beautiful... Don't touch it!! It's so not worth it in your case!!! I am going through the recuperation process right now... I'm 5 days post op... Thought about this all my life... And it is so hard... Now that I'm in it I fully appreciate the process... It's not fun and it has been emotional roller coster for me... Surgery is surgery .... Don't.... I want to be supportive but I think it's kinder to be honest!!!

I think you should do what will make you happy. I'm sorry nessi is having a rough recovery, but 5 days post op is no time to judge whether the surgery was worth it or not. It's early days. I had tip work done and am quite happy with my results (caveat that I had to have a revision, but I believe that was because I didn't choose a rhinoplasty specialist to begin with). Follow your own heart. Here's a list of questions to ask at consultations. Good luck and please let us know who you decide to go with.
