How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

My whole life I've always been a confident, happy...

My whole life I've always been a confident, happy person. I most likely wouldn't consider getting a nose job if it wasn't for getting bullied for it in Jr. High and high school which made me focus my attention on the appearance of my nose. I always brushed it off my shoulder but it did create somewhat of a paranoia. I have a habit of placing myself at a certain angle, or always taking pictures from one side to make my nose look better. I'm sick of hiding and tired of this insecurity and it was time to do something about it. Most of my family and friends thought I was crazy cause everyone thought I was so beautiful. But it was clearly effecting my self-esteem and if I can fix it then why not.

*In my photos I did blur out my eyes for my own protection. I hope you still get the gist of it!

I went in for my first consultation with another plastic surgeon. I had gone to consultations before with other plastic surgeons but I didn't get the feeling they were "the one" LOL. Immediately when I met him I felt at ease and after discussing everything I knew I trusted him to perform my surgery. My main goal is to remove the dorsal hump, refine the tip, make the front view straight and narrower, and make the nose shorter (done by lifting the tip). We took pictures so he could do the imaging which I would come back for at another appointment.

I had my 2nd appointment today to see the imaging and discuss payment options. When I first saw the imaging it was a huge difference! But not exactly what I wanted. I came into this with a specific vision of what I wanted, and wasn't afraid to voice it. The Dr. had no problem and we worked with the imaging some more doing some minor tweaks to eventually end up with my desired outcome. We discussed some more about the procedure as I had heaps of questions! He is such an amazing and caring doctor and I know I will be truly happy with his performance. After, I went and met with his financial adviser and then made another appointment for the Pre-Op.
-Side note: It is SO strange seeing a different nose on your face when you've had the same one your whole life. It's an odd feeling, but never the less a happy one :)

Scheduled my Pre-Op for April 8th, and the surgery April 26th. I will update accordingly :)

April 8th - Pre op
Had my pre op appointment today! I met up with my mom at the office since she wanted to come. She's a little freaked out by it but I am so excited! I just went over everything with my doctor and he gave me my prescriptions and all the directions to follow for before and after my surgery. I then paid the surgeon's fee so I guess that means I can't turn back now! I am really so excited though and these 2 and a half weeks can't go by fast enough!

- the biggest piece of advice I can offer as of right now is make sure you have a strong support system. My parents and boyfriend are kind of just whatever about it but I guess they haven't dealt with the struggle of it for years either.@ I'm thankful I have found this community to share experiences with.
