I have hated my nose since I was a child. From the front it's just fine but I hate the profile because of the hump. I have wanted surgery for a long time but after going through a divorce recently I decided now was the time to do something for myself. I just wanted the most subtle of changes just to take the hump down but still look like myself!

Had my preop appointment yesterday. Getting excited and nervous now as surgery is just over 2 weeks away. They gave me all my pre and postop instructions, and prescriptions that I will need. The staff there are all so sweet and make you feel really comfortable, answer all your questions and explain everything thoroughly. So far I feel like I have made the right choice about my surgeon.

Less than 2 weeks to go now. Got some of the supplies today that I will need after surgery. Gauze, pain killers, hydrogen peroxide, saline nasal spray, polysporin, Chapstick, Benadryl. Still have a few more things to get and get my prescriptions filled. Wish it was done already. Hate waiting once I have made my mind up to do it!

I feel the same as you about the waiting....I wish mine was done already too. I need to get some of the things on your list. Your digital imaging looks awesome! What time is your surgery scheduled for?

11am! Can't believe it's a week from tomorrow! Hope I don't freak out when the day comes. So far I'm not too nervous though!

Mines at noon....and yes I can relate to the hoping not to freak out, but I am sure I will be. I'm nervous too. You aren't alone :) I keep trying to find things to keep me occupied to get my mind off of it.

I keep thinking I'm crazy to be doing it but then I remember how long I have wanted it for and most people who do it say they wish they had done it sooner. Just want it to be over already!
Thanks so much for starting your story on RealSelf! When will you be having surgery?
