7 years
Wow! Next month it will be 7 years since my rhinoplasty and I felt in my heart to post an update for anyone who might be considering this. This will most likely be the last update so I tried including pics of my nose from different angles. Looking back at old comments and the beautiful community of people made me so thankful that I had a support system to help me get through this huge decision. You have no idea how your kind words and encouragement helped me.
So, what has changed in 7 years (besides my thin brows and orangey hair :p) and why post an update after all this time? Well honestly besides life going by really fast, I wanted to take a walk down memory lane which of course included my nose in its natural form.
It's true what I used to say on here...I truly don't worry about my nose anymore. In fact, after all this time, my old nose or birth nose I should say is mostly a memory. I have no regrets and would 100% do it again. I am much more confident in myself, I never worry about my side profile, but yes I am the same me I always was. Just comfortable with myself and I can live my life without being self conscious.
I also wanted to remind you all to stay humble and remember where you came from. 7 years ago I couldn't imagine a life where I didn't even think about my nose every second. I got my nose fixed and no one even mentions it or I think even really remembers I did unless I bring it up. My new nose is all I know now and I would never go back to my old one, but I'm grateful for my birth nose because it reminds me to be kind. All those tears I've cried and all the times I hid and felt no one knew how I felt and then I found this community and talked to people who knew exactly what I was going through. Remember, this is for YOU. Some of my family didn't agree with it and I'm sure I was the topic of gossip for a short period of time, but you know what? Time goes on and people forget and move on. So if you're worried about others opinions or what they'll say stop right there and remember this update. 7 years later and yep I would do it again, but that doesn't mean I let my new nose change me in any way besides being comfortable in my skin. I always think before I speak because I know words hurt. I compliment others and see the beauty in all things and try to be there for others if they're hurt because to some having a big nose might not seem like a reason to be sad or might even seem vain to some. I remember people just not understanding and made me feel small for being insecure about it. If something hurts someone, no matter how small it may seem to you, listen anyway and be there for them.
So thank you nose for making me a better person. :p also, if you read this far thank you. Good luck on your journey to being the "you" you've always been, but your nose kept you from being.

Over a year now!!
can't believe it's been over a year since my surgery. Time certainly flew by :) I am extremely happy with how I look now & it was one of the best decisions i made in my life. I strongly encourage anyone who is considering getting this done because of their insecurities to do it because it has changed my life & I know it's a scary decision, but it was so worth it.
Just a little over 5 months since my surgery! I...
