Hey Everyone!
So I have the same reason for getting rhinoplasty as most of you guys. Never liked my nose, especially the side profile and 45 degree angle profile.
I did a lot of research and found Dr. Tobias! He is a no nonsense doctor as everyone says but I really like that in a doctor. He was straight forward and to the point and my favorite part was he said that he was going to give me the best version of my nose, not someone else's. I went to a consultation with him ($150) and felt really confident with him so 3 weeks later I went into surgery! To be honest i had no real problems with the front of my nose just the fact that you could see the bridge...
Dr Tobias and I discussed not touching the tip, taking down the bridge and smoothing out the side ridges so it was straight and even. Exactly what I wanted.

Hey all, Ive been really lazy for the past two days, just resting and keeping my head up. I have been taking my pain meds so I don't feel any pain but there is definitely pressure on my nose. Im still dripping blood and mucus which is also annoying and I'm too scared to clean around my nose. Im a little worried about my profile at this point. I can't tell if my cast is showing an accurate representation of my profile (I hope to god its not) or if underneath the cast it will be a straight and feminine looking profile. I called my doctor yesterday to see how everything went. Apparently we had talked when I woke up but I was so drugged that I don't remember any of it. We talked and he immediately told me that I should expect 90% perfect and not to be upset or nervous about what it looks like when the cast is off. It made me feel kind of nervous that he said 90%. I expected that he would say he did a better job... or at least say it in a different way. I don't even know what 90% better looks like...
Any words of wisdom or encouragement are greatly appreciated

Closed Rhinoplasty

By the way it was a closed rhinoplasty. There are not cuts on the outside of my nose, only inside my nostrils. I wanted him to keep the bottom of my nose the same and just take down the hump as well as narrow the hump on the top. My dorsal hump not only stuck out but was also wide. I had an "hour glass figure" nose.

I'm so glad you started your story on RealSelf! Like your dr. said, don't get too freaked out when the cast comes off. You'll be really swollen and it will take time for your results to become clear. I don't think you can tell what you will look like at all with the cast still on (especially if you had only bridge work done).

Please keep us posted on how you're healing!
