My nose is large and has a small hump from the profile. Overall I want to decrease the size of it and define it more. I know my nose isn't horrible but it has ALWAYS bothered me a lot. I think it is the one facial feature that is off on my face. I have had to reschedule my surgery and will be doing so again for the first week on March as I am coming off a medication that has taken longer to get off of than planned. It's oh so frustrating! Plus I have never met the doctor in person and don't want him to think I am just a flake based off of me needing to reschedule twice. Been filling my time with watching horror stories on cosmetic surgery and getting even more terribly nervous. I will keep you all updated. Please let me know if you have heard of my doctor or had work done.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Super nervous….I can't take opiate based medications so I am worried about pain management. Has anyone else opted out of taking narcotics?? Added some more photos

The narcotics are horrible, they make you feel so wired and nauseous. You won't need them, Panadol was fine for me :) it's actually not as painful as you would think, it's just congested and uncomfortable.

Thanksss!! yea they make me really sick I am gonna ask for toradol which is like a really strong ibuprofen :) [RS bleep]

All I could take was paracetemol and I was fine. It's not really that painful, more uncomfortable with a dry mouth and congestion. Make sure you take some lip balm into the hospital! I forgot and it was the worst mistake. Hope it all goes well!! Xx

Horrible horrible swelling. My eyes were swollen shut I am becoming extremely worried that my face still won't be presentable in a month when I am taking a trip overseas to meet an old friend :( I would cry but I can't because my eyes are so swollen :( did anyone else get this bad and still recover enough in one month??? my tip was countered I feel like I made a huge mistake as my nose before wasn't that bad. I just want to cry

I had a BA and not a nose job obviously but you'll be fine! Seriously! Totally normal feelings. As long as everything's healing each day will get better! I'm sure a month will be plenty of time. How was dr. warnock?

I was exactly the same as you! The third day was the worst day, I felt so depressed and upset with what I'd done to myself. I just felt like I'd been butchered. I didn't look anything like me, black piggy eyes, jowls, bruising, a massive top lip! Completely unprepared for it. I'm now 4 weeks and I am the happiest I've ever been. I look the best I've ever looked, my skin is glowing, my eyes back to normal, just a tiny bit of stiffness in my lip. You will be absolutely fine I promise. In a week you will look so much better, just let your body heal itself and don't look in the mirror too much yet. I took vitamin c 3x a day and Bromelain extract, loads of fresh fruit and veg and just try and rest as much as possible. You'll be ready for your trip-please don't worry. It's completely normal [RS bleep]

aw thank you! it looks a little better just the numbness is super annoying and gross feeling! Did you have a lot of numbness at first?
March 18, 2015
Yes loads, it's now just on the tip. I went back for my 4 wk check up today and the surgeon is really pleased with it. Just hang on in there, I promise it'll be worth it! X

Curious for updates. I have an upcoming consultation with Dr. Warnock and would like to know how you're doing and how it all turned out. Thanks :)
