25 Yr Old Female , Finally Have the Guts - Edison, NJ

Hey Everyone, I finally have the guts to start this new nose journey. Just to give you guys an insight on things. I have been thinking about a new nose since I was a kid. I have a very unique nose, which makes it difficult for me to know what my outcome could be :( I have not found any one with a good before and after picture similar to mine. To give yall a lil back ground, my nose looks nothing like my mom,dad,brother,sis. not even grand parents or any other relative. My Mom swears when I was born the doctors had something to do with the shape of my nose (hopefully that would be determined during consultations) When I was born I was very quiet, wouldn't breath because of mucus buildup and so the doctors forced something up my nose to suck out the mucus, my mom swears that's the only explanation as to why I have such a low bridge and basically no tip lol anywho I was bullied everyday at school and always came home crying. My mom suggested me to get a nose job when I was 16 but I was too scared and too embarrassed to go through it. Now that I am grown and have the guts to do it, I have decided to start this journey and I am soooo excited and nervous. I will be seeing DR. Andrew Miller. I have heard great reviews about him on this site. And let me tell you I am SO happy Realself exists !!! .... will keep posted !

Today I had a consult with DR Andrew Miller and it went great. This is my very first consult and I honestly feel like I dont need to venture out anywhere else. I did do extensive re search on other sergeons and felt he was worth my time. He was friendly and informative, he had me look through a binder of before and after pics and Let me tell you his work is amazing. I am very excited to have him work on me!! Anywho, he did explain how building a bridge for my nose will help it project more and ofcourse work on the tip since my cartilage is weak. He recommended an alar base reduction aswell I am still not sure if I want to go for that i will still be thinking about it. He mentioned as a graft he would be using Gortec , has anyone had their bridge done using this??? I wilI would be doing my surgery hopefully sometime in January.
Thnx!

Happy to say I have called in to book my Rhinoplasty procedure with Andrew Miller ! I spoke with the person that schedules and she sent over an agreement and I do have to put down 500$ . I will be seeing Dr. Miller about 2-3 weeks before surgery to touch base on any questions or concerns I may have. I booked for Dec 29th .. so yes I will be awaiting New year all bandaged up lol so no pics for me!!
