Love My New Nose; So Grateful! 1 Year: Final Update (Surgery 5/22/13) - Long Island, NY

Hi!
Like many others on this website, I have hated my nose since it really grew into my face, probably during middle school, and I believe around maybe age 13 is when I first wanted a rhinoplasty. I have felt since then that my nose has been holding me back from being truly confident. I'm a performer (I sing & do musical theatre) and going to school to become a teacher, and both of these things, though very different, really put you in the spotlight. In my case, everything is pretty good from the front, but then I turn my head to either side, and there's a big dorsal hump- there's nothing nice about it. I can't wait until the day when I'm not even caring about people seeing my profile! I went to one consultation already back in February and am going to a second on Thursday. I'm really hoping that this doctor is the one because he is a facial plastic surgeon as well as a head and neck surgeon (dual board certified) and seems great. I really hope everything works out and that I'm able to do this when I get home from school for the semester in mid-May, or late May/early June at the latest. I have support from family & friends which I am forever thankful for. Anyway, that's all for now, but I will update after my consult Thursday- crossing my fingers that I possibly set a date! I shouldn't get my hopes up too much but I always do. Oops!

Thanks,
K
