Hi everyone! =) I'm so glad that I found this website because it truly is sooo informative and helpful when you're considering to go under the knife. Therefore I also want to share my story so more people can get the information they need! Here we go.
I am a 18-year old living in Sweden I have a persian background, in other words i have the "big nose DNA" ;) Joking aside, since being 12, i have been dissatisfied with my nose. I have a bump, nose is kinda crooked, my tip is droopy and bulbous, the tip goes down more when i smile and makes it wider than it already is. I've been avoiding taking photos with friends and family because i know how horrible my nose will make me look, it's just not boosting my confidence.
For years have I thought about rhinoplasty and now, the time has come!
I booked an appointment and I was very pleased with the doctor, he had device take photos of me from different angles to make a 3D simulation and we discussed how I wanted my nose to look like. When considering rhinoplasty, I believe it is very important to not having too high expectations. For instance, we all have various types of skin and different facial features, so you can't bring a photo of, for example Kim Kardashians nose, and expect the surgeon to make it look exactly like that. Perhaps it won't fit with your chin or your cheekbones - but that's something you have to discuss with your surgeon about.
I wanted the surgery date to be close to my christmas break which usually starts at 18th of December, so I could be at home and rest in a calm atmosphere. It is a high request to get the surgery around that date, but fortunately (yassss) the doctor had an appointment around that date! Now my operation date is booked - the 10th of December!
Kinda nervous to post pictures of my nose of "ugly" angles but I do it for you - I haven't found a nose similar to mine online yet so hopefully someone can relate to mine ;)

I am so grateful that you decided to post on here. I have been scrolling around for about a year and never found a nose that was similar to mine. I feel like ours (were) very alike from a profile view, my tip however is just a big round ball haha
Sometimes I just wonder how its possible for me to store so much fat in my nose for being a small girl.
I will definitely keep up with your updates on here. I have never been too fond of the work of Scandinavian surgeons when it comes to rhinoplasty (I live in Norway). I just always assume that they don't have much experience, because lets me realistic, most Scandinavians have really cute noses. I really like your new profile but I'm not sure what you mean about not having a raised tip, but I think it looks good so far.
Love that you're being hard on your doctor about not getting the results you wanted :D Thanks for the added silly picture, it made me giggle!

Thank you for the comment! Yeah I agree on the Scandinavian noses... damn they're so small. My tip was going to be raised as we agreed on, but he didn't and it still looks bulbous. Right now I am just thinking about being as patient as I can be and waiting for the swelling to go down. I actually had an appointment scheduled with the surgeon friday the 12th to have local anesthesia so he could push my nosebridge because apparently it was moving (????), but they called me an hour before and cancelled it because the surgeon had the flu... I was so disappointed because I had bought and used an expensive antibacteria product to use before this and I had woken up at 5 to use it. Couldn't they inform me the day before..? Ah well.

I'd be so frustrated if I was you, considering the amount of money spent on the entire procedure. I think your nose looks fine, but yet again my opinion doesn't really matter because its your face, and you know exactly what you want.
Does your nose droop down when you smile intensely with your teeth? and did you get a new appointment scheduled?

3D simulation
Pictures from the 3D-simulation. I also booked another appointment to make it more clear how i want my nose and to comment my doctor's adjustment on the 3D pictures (there are some things I didn't like about them)

It is best to be clear about your expectations this way if they are not doable, the doctor can let you know.

Yes i know! It truly is super important to have a dialogue with your doctor.
After I met my doctor and took these photos, I felt that I wasn't as clear as i could have been, so now i got another appointment =)
