Well, I've been reading a lot of reviews and seeing a lot of before & after pictures and just want to say how helpful everything is! I am having my surgery November 16 if everything goes well since its still so far away. I went to the Dr for a consult to change my nose only to find out I also have a deviated septum. We decided that he will make my nose straight, deproject it to be closer to my lip and make the tip narrover. All thru a closed procedure. I posting some before pictures. As you can see I am posing always to find a better angle so it doesnt show so much.

Hi candy
Funny you should ask about kids. Mine are 13 and 14 year old girls :) Both of them have a perfect combo of my nose and their dads...cute. So at first they were like "what?!!" Then I explained my experience growing up and how I have always felt. I even expressed trying to live with it, yet never liking it. The long and the short of it (haha) is that they both got on board and are happy for me and with me.
My older daughter said "what if I want a nose job?" I said honey you are gorgeous and I don't think you need one, but if you decide to that wait til your 40 like me ;)

my daughter keeps saying that I am crazy and that i look fine the way I am. She says that if i do it she will not talk to me or help me during recovery. She keeps telling my husband not to help me either. But I think that maybe she is justr scared for me to do it and thats her way of dealing with it

Awww I think that she probably is scared...or maybe she does think you are perfect the way you are? Ultimately of course it is your decision and if you're happy she we probably be happy too. I told my girls that I really needed their support and if they didn't understand my reasons that was ok but I needed them to be on board. Honestly it took several months before the actual surgery and some discussing. good luck. I hope your hubby is on board and supportive, maybe he can help bring the daughter into it? xoxo

Your post about your daughter was in April... how she come around? Also, it must be so hard to wait anxiously each day! How are you keeping your mind off it? My surgery is Dec. 18 and I think about it every day. The days are dragging.... !

Hi,
my daughther is still not happy about it, but oh well :) I just cant believe that the time is getting so close. And my son listens to her and follows. But I just found out that his school is out the week of Thanksgiving ( my recovery week) and he will be home with me, so I told him that he will have to take care of me and he is scared now. (he is 9) LOL
But I will tell you that since my first consult in february to now, time flew

Awwww, what a cutie. He'll be very busy plumping your pillow and bringing you ice packs! My son is taking care of me too, but he's 14. I showed him other people's pics so he knows what to expect, bruising-wise.

LOL i still have almost 8 months to go....... wish it was sooner

Our noses are similar, and I can relate with trying to live with it but never liking. Congrats on taking the step! Mine is going to deproject it, too. That will bring the biggest change in our noses, I think. Looking forward to reading your updates.

Good luck you are in the greatest hands I truly love Dr. Dishelle!

10 years ago and it was perfect until I sadly injured it. I am now looking for another revision but dr. Dishelle has seen me through this ordeal and has been really supportive.
Hi there and welcome to the rhinoplasty review community! What is it you don't like about your nose?
I hope some others who've been to Dr. Dishell will give you their feedback.
I have a little hump and my nose is longer than I would like it to be. But while i had my consult Dr discovered I have a deviated septum as well
