You're beautiful as it is...You dont even need to have your nose done...But if you found a great doctor then why not...

This might sound very random but I just have to ask..

I wear colored contacts as well...and I ABSOLUTELY love your contacts in green...would you please tell me who makes them and the name of the type?

Please keep us updated on your new nose...

NY state of mind: I am wearing Freshlook Colorblends. In the first picture I am wearing the color "Turquoise". The other 2 pictures I am wearing "Gemstone Green". My natural color is a light greenish/brown or Hazel.

**Day 1- Post-Op*

Hi Everyone! It's been about 12 hours since I was scheduled this morning @ 8 am. I was so nervous and had a million thoughts running through my head. "What if i was making a mistake?" "Happens if i don't like the results?" I was dreaddddding hearing my alarm clock go off this morning at 630. I was so nervous that I had gotten to my office by 7:25 in fear that I would arrive late lol.

Before I had walked in the door, I started to break down. Thank god my boyfriend is such a huge supporter and he had reassured me things would be okay. The doctor made me feel very comfortable and had taken the time out to answer any remaining questions that I had had.

Time for anesthesia... :))

The anesthesiologist then walked into the room and put the needle into my arm. I was joking around with him and had asked "How long does it take for this to "kick in"? He had said "Ohh about 4-6 seconds!" Before it had even been 4 seconds after he has said that..I was OUTTTTT!!

It seriously felt like I was sleeping for a minute. It went by SO FAST! The Dr. probably started the surgery a little before 830 and I was out the door by 920. Extremely Fast!

As of right now, I feel pretty OK!! There is pain, but it's not THAT BAD. When I touch the skin where my eyes are and by my eyebrow area, yes, it is tender to the touch, but this is nothing that I can't handle. To be honest...I think having my wisdom teeth out was A LOT more painful post-op then having this surgery lol!

The most ANNOYING thing is I feel like I have a horrible cold and I am very stuffy. I CAN'T STANDDDD THISSSSS. How the heck am I suppose to sleep on my back with my head elevated? There is nooo way I am going to be able to get "good" sleep these next 7 days until my cast comes off...

The doctor perscribed me Vicodin and I had only taken one pill, and that was at 11:30. Kind of just let's you know that I am not in a lot of pain..I'm uncomfortable, but I don't feel any throbbing that I can't bare to stand...

The area of my eyes are a little swollen, and I can start to see some bruising...

....will keep updating! :)))
