Bye Bye Nose!! - Glendale, CA

Surgery is October 6,2015

I started to be insecure about my nose when I was in 6th grade. I would take pictures with friends and when I would take a look at the picture after I started to notice my nose was all I could stare at. I wouldn't say I got bullied but people would comment on my nose from time to time rude comments that will stay with me forever at first I would cry about it when I was alone but once I learned how to put makeup on I felt more confident but it's still a issue that I want to fix. Whe I was 16 I searched for before and afters rhinoplasty's and fell in love with Dr. G i got a piece of paper wrote his name and number down and folded it and put it on a box fast forward six years later found myself with money earned up mostly the tax return money lol went to my little box opened up the once white paper now brown from all the years in there lol
Called late January for a consultation and the soonest they had was mid March. I thought my consultation was going to be like that one show botched lol you know relaxed and getting to know you kinda thing but not at all my consultation was and felt so rushed it lasted for about 5 minutes when he came in he gave me a mirror to hold while he touched my nose and said he would lift up the tip make my nostrils smaller make my nose slimmer and remove the bump and he asked what I thought my exact words were you read my mind haha he looked at me for a quick second and said it would be 8,500 booked my surgury that same day even though he was in a hurry to go to his next patient I felt really secured with him. I also asked what would the risk be for this surgury and he said not to worry that he has the best doctors working with him and just maybe a lot of bleeding. I asked to be put on the waiting list but never got a call from them now my opt appointment is this Saturday I have to pay the full amount of money will see how it goes. I will post pictures soon.

One of his receptionist called me in went over the do's and dont's before and after surgury. She also had her nose done by Dr. G she said showing him pictures of someone else was a don't since Dr.G will do whatever best suits your face but if you don't want something touched to let him know I talked to her for about ten minutes than Dr. G walked in you could tell he was in a hurry he took of my makeup from my nose and told me what he's going to do to my nose and then took pictures and left I was with him probably for less than 3 minutes. I proceeded to the front desk and paid the full amount. The medication's was another fee of $70. I will post the paperwork the receptionist gave me hopefully It will help in some way so you know what you will be looking forward too. 16 days until my surgury :)

Hi everyone I will post pictures of my nose I am not wearing no makeup so you can see every detail the bulbous tip and how it drops and the bump. Ignore my dark circles :/ lol I know this is weird but I'm actually a little sad I'm never going to see my nose ever again I have gotten used to it even though I hate it at the same time I wonder how I will look with no bump and everything I just can't really visualize it. I hope a nose job is not as painful as a c-section I had 14 months ago it was so painful I couldn't really move or walk for 2 weeks and I always found myself crying because of the pain my husband is a clown so he would make me laugh and that also hurt so much. The verdugo hospital is two hours away from my home and I am thinking of leaving from my house four hours earlier because of all the traffic heading to Glendale I don't want to risk being late for surgury.
What should I buy or do to make myself comfortable after surgury?
I just want to thank everyone that has shared there journey on realself it makes me feel better that I'm not alone wanting my nose fixed also all the wish you well messages make me feel great since nobody really knows I'm going to get a nose job only my husband and parents. I know when other family members or friends find out about it there going to be so judge mental but I know they will get over it at some point atleast I know I'll be happier.
