Hi,
I am an 18 year old going into college at the end of the summer. I want to get this done before then because I will be meeting a whole new set of people and first impressions are so important when entering a new community. Most people make this more of a blog than a review, so I'll just follow in their steps. When I was in junior high I was bullied because of my nose. This was because I was around pre-teens and it was very disproportionate to my growing face. As the years went by and the people around me matured, the bullying began to end. Even though it doesn't happen anymore, I find myself constantly bothered by my profile when I walk by mirrors. I try to keep people on my side I feel looks best and I feel very self-conscious when in front of new people. I don't want my nose to be the first thing I'm "judged" for in college. I feel that if I don't get this done I will regret it and worry that my life could've gone in a different direction. I want to make sure I live my life the way I want to and looking like the best me possible will help that.

I have scheduled a couple consultations and I'm going to schedule one more, all for March. :)

I had my rhinoplasty the summer before starting college and it's funny because I'm the opposite--I wonder if things would have been different (and how much different) had I not gotten the surgery.

Your nose is so pretty! I think I'll be wondering the same thing in a few years but so far it feels like nothing would've been different /: I'm beginning to wonder if it was a waste of money because so little changed. I was expecting my doctor to fix more than just my dorsal hump. That's what I paid for at least.

So awesome to find you posts! I feel the exact same way as you and was so ready for a fresh, confident start. I'm also 18 and moving into college in just two weeks. Today is my second day post op. I wish you a fast recovery and hope your bruising goes down! Still in shock I found someone the exact same age as me who felt the same way and even in the same stages of their recovery.

I hope things are going great in college! You should post a review! You can do it kinda anonymous like me haha. I'd love to see the change!

Consultations
I live in the Houston area, so I am very lucky to have a wide selection of Plastic Surgeons. So far I've scheduled a consultation with Dr. Harirchian for March 15 and one with Dr. Funk for March 28. I'm planning on scheduling a third one just to be sure I go with the best option. Here are some photos to show the "situation."
Hi there, and welcome! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I hope you'll get lots of support from the community. Have you taken steps to speak to any surgeons yet?
