ORIGINAL POST

I always thought I looked a little masculine,...

I always thought I looked a little masculine, especially as I got older-late 20's. So, I approached my husband when I turned 30 and asked if I can get a rhinoplasty. My date is Aug 28, 2014 at 9:30 am.
Very excited! I have a small hook and a bump on bridge, and my nose is a little crooked from the front.

Wow! I thought those were the after photos. If I were you I wouldn't touch that nose. It's perfect the way it's.

Thanks! You made me smile. My ps said I have a nice nose, he and I agreed though minor tweeks will help me look better and of course more feminine. Thanks though!

I agree with zooster. I thought those were your after pics. Your nose looks great to me, but if you really want the surgery and your dr is very very very skilled at making small changes, then I am sure it will turn out even more beautiful. My nose needs only small changes too, but more changes that yours. :) Best of luck on your surgery. You're already very pretty and this will just make you even more pretty.

Thanks! Makes me feel less impatient for my surgery. I am very excited though and I will post my post op pics. Can't wait!

Did your jump swelling come down? Was it just swelling? I am experiencing the same thing. Thanks

20 days till surgery. On aug 13 I go for my pre-op. I googled my surgery facility, and I think it's beautiful inside. They have a nice recovery room, at least I think it's a recovery room. Well, I must say it is hard to concentrate on anything else except my surgery coming up. I ran a at home business with my husband, so my husband is anxious for this surgery to be over with so I can get my head back to business :)
Question, for anyone who likes to workout how long till you started to lift heavy weights- 2-6 weeks I assume.. Speaking of working out I am about to go lift with my hubs right now.

Do you have any photos from the dr? Like before pics with morphs of what he's going to do to it? I'd love to see it.
August 8, 2014
No, I didn't ask for the morphs but he did morph my pics at the office. It was a small difference but enough to notice a difference in my side profile and a small difference in the front view. He said I have uneven nostril and he is going to make it even, I have a squarish tip so he is going to smooth up the tip and I have a slight bump on nose and will even that out as well :-)

Thank you for starting your story here! You look like the epitome of femininity to me, but you have to follow your gut. I hope you'll keep us updated as you progress. Here's what some doctors say about lifting weights after rhinoplasty.

Will do. Thanks Angie! I will read up on the link for weightlifting. Have a great weekend!
August 9, 2014
Wow, I hope my post-op nose looks half as good as your pre-op nose. I would leave well enough alone.
August 9, 2014
Thanks Lola. I have gotten nice compliments on my pre op nose:). I wonder how many compliments my post op nose is going to get. :-) I appreciate all the compliments. I will keep you all updated. My pre op visit is this Thursday on Aug 13. Super happy! Have a great weekend!

Wow your nose is perfect and surgery is very risky with a lot of potential complications! If I were you, I would spend that money on something else.
August 12, 2014
Thank you Peonia. I feel strongly taking a risk with my surgery for my own personal reasons. However, I hope we all come through recovery stronger and happier as a person internally and externally. When complications arise in cosmetic surgeries I personally am scared of the risks associated with cosmetic surgery too. We can just hope for the best and stay positive as much as possible. Thanks Peonie.

Tomorrow is my pre op appointment. 2 more weeks until my surgery. I am super busy with work, so thank goodness my surgery coordinator, Michelle called me to remind me. Nice woman:-). I am excited, anxious, nervous, happy, a little scared. I can't wear make up to my surgery, which sucks because I gave bad acne and acne scars... Kinda of embarrassing. I'm wondering if I can wear cover up make up and just wash my face when I am in the back before surgery.. Kinda of a silly worry for a big day.. I will keep you u
