broke my nose when I was 15 and now that I'm 21 I'm ready to go through with the surgery that I've always knew I wanted but was to scared to dosince I have bad anxiety and panic attacks. 

super ready for the procedure with dr. shair m. in folsom.
my main concern at this point is waking up feeling sick, I HATE feeling sick. but it will be very temporary and they have meds for that :)

I have the same type of fear as you. I'm getting my rhinoplasty on the 20th and I'm nervous about the recovery period. I hate feeling nauseous and uneasy, and that's pretty much how I think I would feel for the week when I have my splint. I also sleep flat on my back and I'm worried about the discomfort of having to sleep at a 90 degree angle to recover better. The thing I've been thinking about is that it's ONLY for a few days for the discomfort and hopefully, a lifetime of happiness with your nose. You will be okay! :) Best of luck!

your right a couple days of being stuffed and sickly is completely worth being happier with your nose :) goodluck girl, your surgery is close than mine, keep me update on how it feels to wake up from the procedure.

Yes, they do have meds for that! Make sure your doctor knows that's a concern of yours. I never woke up feeling nauseated, so maybe you won't either.

Here's a list of supplies you might need for recovery!

Please keep us posted.

getting closer and more excited as each day comes :)
on the 20th I will see the computer image of what my surgeon understood of what I wanted from my consultation and give me meds then I'll come back on the 30 to get a prettier nose :)
as long as I keep in mind that this rhinoplasty won't be as bad as my wisdom teeth I'll be ok

Hey I'm getting my nose done by Dr.Clutter in Folsom ( he's just a couple doors down from Mabourhk). I had a consult with Dr. Shar M too but ended up deciding on Clutter instead. Dr. M is great though and will do a great job on your nose! Can't wait for your results! Good luck!

Why did did you choose dr.clutter over dr. mabourhk? Just curious :) nice to know someone so close in destination got a rhinoplasty as well.
May 17, 2013
Well in short his practice is 95% rhinoplasty while dr .M is about 25%. But I consulted with both. At first I was going to go with Mabourhk but because clutter mainly does noses and I really felt comfortable with him I went with him. Plus he's done like 4500 rhinos. But in all honesty Dr. M is a fantastic surgeon! It was a very very hard decision. You are in good hands with him. When I had my consult with him I actually got to talk to a girl that had her nose done by him. And she was very happy and looked great! But there are a couple other girls on here that had their nose done by Dr Clutter too and are really happy.

Damn it :( I wish I knew about him....know I feel some regret
May 17, 2013
No don't! Seriously Dr.M is great! And one thing I liked about him is that he loves doing noses! It's his favourite surgery to do and he's a perfectionist! Really, he's a fantastic choice! In fact I've gone back and fourth trying to decide who I wanted between the two guys. Plus Dr.M does imaging... A huge plus. Dr.Clutter doesn't. Which is annoying but I feel I can trust him anyway. If you are really curious though maybe go for a consult with dr clutter just to see... But his consults are like $125! But still might be worth it if you are really wondering about him now. Again though, dr M is a great choice and he will do a great job on your nose! :)

Also... Make sure with dr. M to tell him exactly how you want your nose. He is pretty conservative and doesn't take much off unless you tell him. Which is good but if you want it pretty drastic then make sure he knows. That's what the girl who had hers done by him told me. Just an FYI ;)

Ok thank you for reassuring me, I was getting slightly worried that I made the wrong choice. and I told hmi everything I wanted to be changed and he.showed me a few of his rhinoplasty and told him whichones I didn't like and why I didn't like them....he agreed with me and told me he knows.what I would like so on Monday I.get to see the photoshopped computer image of my new nose and I'm pretty excited :)
May 17, 2013
That's exciting! I loved his staff too! They were all so nice. Really, I had the hardest time choosing between the two. They are both really fantastic. Good luck with surgery and keep us posted! :)
