Like many others on here, I have been wanting this procedure done for most of my life. The few friends and family that know I am having it done are a little surprised by it purely because I never spoke about wanting it. I chose not to speak about it because I felt like if I didnt have the money to do anything about it then I shouldnt talk about it because it would make me more depressed about it. At the same time, I thought that if I spoke about how much I hated my nose and everything I want to change about it, they would notice my flaws even
more... Kinda silly, I know.

Anyways, I have finally saved enough to have my procedure done! I found my PS when I was researching online reviews and on this site. No matter what site I went to, Dr. Epstein scored high on all his reviews overall. He has many videos on YouTube that I have watched... 3 or 4 times! When I watch them I get a great feeling of comfort. He seems to truely love doing rhinoplasty procedures! He does an average of 3 per week which puts my mind at ease also.

I have been in contact with Dr. Epstein online and over the phone. He had me take photos of myself so he could use his photo imaging to show me what he could do. It seems that we were both on the same page from the beginning! I dont expect a huge change. I want to still look like ME, just an improved version and he seemed to do that in the photos.

My goal is to remove the bump, narrow the bridge, and just slightly refine the tip. I look horrible in the photos (no make-up) but I want to post what he did. I dont feel like it is a huge change but it is definitely much improved!

Only 3 weeks away from my procedure date, March 20th! I am beyond nervous but at the same time I know that I will not back out of this. The closer it gets the more I realize how badly I want it. I am soooo tired of taking pictures from only ONE angle! I am ready to stop cringing at myself everytime I look in thw mirror.

Thanks so much for starting your story on RealSelf! It sounds like you've found a surgeon you're happy with and you've worked hard saving. That's all a lot of work.

Here's a list of supplies you might need for recovery.

Please keep us posted and we'd love it if you'd put up your photos!

Okay, so we are only a little over 2 weeks away from my surgery! I'm honestly more nervous about flying than I am about the actual procedure at this point. Reading peoples stories on this site has helped me prepare both mentally and financially for the things to expect and what to buy to help me afterwards. I have also been meaning to post pictures but I couldn't figure it out from my phone. But here are the pictures and I'm sure you will be able to see exactly why I would sincerely benefit from having this done!

I forgot to ask! I am nervous about the IV "Twilight" sedation... I have never had this done before and I was hoping to hear from others who have had this done that could perhaps ease my mind about it (hopefully)??

Welcome to Realself. I am so excited for you; it is a fabulous thing to have done, and one you won't regret. I am 7 weeks post op and wish I did it 20 years ago. All the best!
