Like many others I have found comfort from reading this website and I wanted to share my story even though it is just the beginning.
I have hated my nose for so long, probably over 10 years. I always hate photos of me and I want to change it in photoshop. I hated when other people took photos as I couldn't control it then.
It has always been something I have been thinking about but never really taken seriously. I always hated it but never really though that I could seriously change it. But I got hit in the nose by a guy by accident and it swelled up and while it didn't leave too much damage I seem a bit more aware of my nose and the shape bothers me.
The more I started thinking about it the more I realised I needed to do it. So many years of feeling self conscious when someone sat next to me, so many years of changing my nose in editing programs, so many years of thinking about it. I realised I need to do this now!
Once I started thinking about it I realised many of my friends actually had it done and that helped. All of them said they wished they did it sooner! So in the beginning I was just excited. Now after researching I am terrified and scared and overwhelmed!
I have decided to do the surgery abroad. Because I like the idea of going away and coming back a new person. I know costs shouldn't be a factor but I am going to start by looking overseas as UK is considered one of the most expensive plastic surgery countries and I believe there are qualified surgeons elsewhere too and I am determined to find them. My nose is also not that complicated I believe as I don't have any major problems.
No one really understands why I want a nose job. No one has ever made fun of my nose. It's kind of straight and small and someone actually thought I had already had one. But I am doing this for myself and I know I need to do this. I am starting a new phase of my life and I feel it's now or never with many things.
I have made some proposed before and after photos of my nose. This is my desired result. I especially hate my nose when I smile as the top droops a lot and it's long.
At this stage I have only sent these of and explain what I want done to a few different surgeons including Dr Oelbrandt in Belgium, Dr Toncic in Croatia and Dr Adam K in Poland. But I am researching everyday and want to make a good choice.

Big step!
I am now going from extremely excited one second to extremely nervous the next. I have a shortest of surgeons and at the moment I am going between three choices.
But now I am starting to really just think every review is fake and not trusting anything online and it's so hard! I know for every one bad there are so many good but I am terrified that I will come out of surgery wishing I never did it and wanting my old nose back. I could not live with that feeling!
So now I am just thinking "is it all worth it?". I just want it so badly and thought of it consumes me. But researching is hard work and I feel like I go back and forth all the time! I am driving myself crazy as I don't know who I want to go with or what to do. I feel like even people who pay a lot get bad results and people who pay less have great and some people have results that look good to me but they are not happy with! Such confusion.
At the moment I am leaving towards one who isn't mentioned too much but that in their native country had great reviews and does a lot of noses. I have a call with the nurse tomorrow so hopefully I will have more answers then.

Emailing
Not a day goes by without me looking on realself and searching about surgeons. I am now leaning towards Dr Adam K in Poland. Mostly because I like what I have read about him and also that in the emails they are very honest to make sure my expectations are not too high. I see this as professionalism that they don't tell me they cant guarantee that I will look 100% like the photos I sent and saying they will definitely make it better but cant say anything until I go for a consultation. I am going to schedule it in for October and if I feel ok I will go ahead I think but if not I will go back to London and re-think. Luckily my work is quite flexible even though I am not telling anyone what kind of surgery. If anyone else is going around then let me know if you perhaps want a buddy.
