23 Year Old, Rhinoplasty with Chin Implant Peri Pyriform Implant - Honolulu, HI

I'm here in Hawaii and I want to achieve a more defined look. I believe I'm beautiful, it's just something I've always wanted. I can't help but be nervous. I keep watching videos and the thing I'm mostly afraid of is pain. I guess I will be posting my journey on here for the next couple of weeks. I hope that my story will help those of you who are nervous, or just need general guidance throughout the process.

So I got the surgery done on Wednesday and I totally don't even remember going into the room. The nurses were extremely nice and silly. I was full of nerves. All I remember is waking up in a wheelchair and getting in a car. I had an implant placed in both my mouth and chin and both implants were required to go in through my mouth. So when I woke up my mouth had a lot of blood. It kind of freaked me out. Other than that. Pain is normal and I'm more worried about the way I look more than anything.

So today I had the packing and some stitches taken out of my nose. This was the worst part of my entire surgery. I'm so not a fan of pain, so this could be why. It was only for a matter of 3 seconds of pain and I just let my nerves get the best of me. The stitches didn't hurt it was just the packing material inside of my nose. Dr. Schlesinger was extremely patient with me though. I appreciate him to the fullest. He was also very gentle and amusing to help me cope with the pain.

Anyway, other than that everything has been normal and I'm so over the pain meds. I keep having these weird dreams, but it could be because my caregiver keeps on leaving CSI Miami on while I'm asleep. lol I took some more photos to show you guys my progress and some older pics of me to see a little bit of the difference.
