So I've had this surgery scheduled for June 9th, since October 2014. I thought it was such a long time to wait, but now that its 5 days away, half the time I'm super excited, and the other half I get panic attacks. I have confidence that he is a good surgeon. But its one of the hardest surgeries to perform and sometimes its out of your control.
I actually had a consultation with Dr. G about 5 years ago. I was 20 and not sure I was ready to make such a decision. I am literally the only girl left in our family who hasn't gotten it done though. I'm from Alabama but moved to San Diego 2 years ago, and moved to LA last year. So living here makes it a lot easier to undergo this surgery, and now that I'm older and still want it... I know its not something I will change my mind over.
My mom is in town to help me with my recovery so we are having another short consultation with Dr. G today so she can meet him and pick his brain to make herself comfortable. I'm happy they had some extra time to fit me because I feel he was so rushed the last time I went we barely talked about nose types. But I feel it was meant to be this way because how could he remember everything we talked about 3 weeks before my surgery? He works on so many people its not likely it would stay that fresh in his mind who is who, right? Well now that I'm seeing him once more 5 days before it should calm my nerves a bit. Wish me luck! I'll post my before pictures when I have a chance.

Before Pictures

Here are some pictures I took of many angles normal, then smiling. Honestly if my nose looked the way it did when I wasn't smiling, when I was... because of my chin length, I wouldn't feel too much a need for this. But because when I smile it changes SO much, I feel I have to never smile with my teeth in pictures. I want to be able to make funny faces, and smile big without feeling self conscious about how big and pointy my nose gets when I smile super big. My main worry is the balance of my chin but I didn't even have to say this to Dr. G. He knew right away! He said "I don't want to shorten too much, for we don't want to offset the chin." I just hope the tip of the nose doesn't end up too bulbous because of this. SO MANY FACTORS MY MIND IS ALL OVER THE PLACE! lol...

Omg you're describing my nose situation to a T. My nose expands like a balloon when I smile so I avoid pictures like the plague. The good news is you're already very beautiful and I think this is gonna bring your natural beauty to the forefront even more. Good luck and can't wait to follow your progress!

You're very pretty, my nose changes when I smile too, so I completely understand this! I'll be following your updates :)

Freaking out a little... no turning back! Took some better before pics without crappy iMac photo booth lighting lol! Have moments I'm afraid I'll miss my ethnic nose... then I see the smiling pictures haha. My brother is here for 2 more days, my mom for a week. We wanted to go to the beach but now I'm wondering if prior surgery sun exposed is a bad thing? He didn't say anything about it... have you guys heard of it being not ideal?

So excited to see your after pics ! You are beautiful, I have my surgery date March 22! I'm already so excited ! Ahh goodluck!!

So excited for you! And yes, a sun burn compromises your skin's integrity, making it vulnerable and inflamed, sort of like a wound. I would say if you have to go in the sun, wear a big wide-brim hat and lots of high-strength sunscreen. If you do that, you won't get burned. Good luck and I think you're in great hands!

Aw I'm so excited for you! I'm following your story. You're already a beautiful girl, the rhinoplasty is just going to enhance your features even further. And judging from his previous reviews, looks like you're in good hands :)

You'll have an astonishing nose! You have the best doctor and also mother nature was very kind with you! Try to keep calm and be positive, these will be helpful for your preoperation health state. I hardly wait to see your new nose!
