I am so anxious to have this surgery over with. I want it to be a month post surgery. Surprisingly, I'm not fearing the surgery, I'm fearing the swelling and bruising following it. I am also wondering if I explained what I am looking for or if he forgot. I had my first consult the end of June. I wonder how much is too much if I have more questions for the doc?

I sent him an email and he called and emailed me back. He is awesome. I can't wait. I'm stopping short of sending him photos of celebrity noses I like. I believe I will get a canned answer of "thats her face blah blah blah"

Goodluck w/ur surgery. You will be so relieved once it is over. Dr. Pontell is great, so no worries :)

*UPDATE* Adding pics, (as scary as it is)
I have just seen some beautiful work by my surgeon. I can't wait until I'm one of those thoroughly satisfied "Afters"

There you are! NO WORRIES Dr. Pontell is the best... call him if you need to. He remembers everything.. the morning of my surgery we didn't even chat about it. I was already on the table and he popped in to say hi. I asked him if he remembers what to do and he laughed and said yes. Believe me, he remembers and it turns out perfect. You are in good hands. Where are you having the surgery?

PS - I feel like I've done your make up before, your face is so familiar. I work for Urban decay cosmetics, have you ever had your make up done at an Ulta or Sephora in the Delaware/Philly/south Jersey area?

Chadds Ford is where I am having my surgery. In my head, I already feel that this place is ccccoold LOL

That is very likely. I like in Sephora/Ulta/MAC. Ive been playing with highlighter pens lately :-)

Brandywine surgery center was fantastic! You'll be fine!
Yes.. maybe we've crossed paths in the make up world before!

Lol I'm fearing everything. The surgery, the bruising, everything! haha I'm glad you posted pictures so we can see your after pictures. :) you'll be getting your surgery just 5 days after me

My husband is supportive. I did tell him and of course he's all, you don't need to do that. You look great, etc. He is well meaning but I am doing it for me not him

Good luck with your journey and you are smart to choose a doc who does ethnic rhinoplasties. My husband said the same thing about me like I don't need it and all but he says he loved my old nose and loves my new nose as well. Don't worry, he'll embrace it.

Surgery tomorrow morning! I have this gut feeling that I am going to be working from home during my recovery however. This project that I am working on needs babysitting. I don’t mind the other days I guess, but tomorrow belongs to ME – no laptop, no blackberry, no conference calls, no webex. I have an early morning workout planned (my last for a few weeks), then back home to get dressed and send the kids off to school It’s funny, earlier I couldn’t wait for this day to get here, and now I’m kinda ‘ehhh, lets knock out this rhino so I can get on with being me.” I pray that I am presentable in a week. My world never slows down but if there is a time when I need to make it slow down, this is it!
I will add before photos back and "after" after surgery.

You sound like a busy power woman :) Good luck tomorrow, and the first week will be over with sooner than you know.

Come back and let us know how you are
Definitely call if you have more questions and want to make clarifications! It's one of the things you're paying your surgeon for. You want to make sure you're on the same page before surgery!
