LOVE MY RESULTS

I've hated my nose ever since I was 12 years old and getting a nose job has been something I've always dreamed of ever since. I'm now 20 and am finally going through with my rhinoplasty procedure in a week from today. I'm beyond excited. I figured I would write a post here so maybe I could get some insight and tips from people who have had it done. I can't wait to post about my results and my thoughts and feelings throughout the ordeal and of course - photos ! I've uploaded some pictures of my current nose so we can follow through the changes after my procedure. Can't wait for this to finally happen.

Well more like 3 non-sleeps til my surgery, thats how excited I am !! I'm more nervous about how I'm going to get through the healing process than I am for my actual surgery and result. I do not take kindly to any kind of pain and I am an extreme drama queen who kicks and screams and cries and complains every time I feel any kind of discomfort. So this will be a big smack in the nose for me ( pun intended ) but hopefully all will be worth it.

I've been waiting for this day for as long as I could remember - not to sound dramatic but my nose has really ruined the way I've seen myself since I was just a young girl. I could never ever see myself as beautiful no matter how hard I tried because of my big fat nose blocking all my other features. I even developed a horrible life consuming eating disorder at the age of 14 that has been going on for years - because I felt that if I couldn't be pretty then I had to be skinnier than everyone else to make up for my ugly face :( However I am now at a healthy weight and size and have been taking good care of my body in preparation for this procedure. I'm so excited I could cry. Actually I AM crying right now as I write this lol. Anyway here are some more pictures of me now. The next pictures I upload are probably going to be me all swollen up after surgery with a massive nose stint and tape all over my face. How attractive ! Thank you everyone for your nice comments so far.

Oh god. I don't even have the energy to write all about it right now so I'll keep it pretty brief. Yesterday I finally underwent my rhinoplasty procedure and I was so excited that I was pretty much trying not to laugh the whole time because people were looking at me funny. But then - I woke up - and even more people were looking at me funny because I was making ridiculous sobbing noises. The pain was unbearable. I've been up to date with my medication so far and my painkillers are doing their job but it's still extremely uncomfortable. The 3 things bothering me the most is my throat hurting to swallow from having the tube stuck down it, the tip of my nose where the stitches are, and my ABSOLUTELY OUT OF THE WORLD SWELLING !!! My lord I was no expecting this much swelling. I'll attach photos for you guys but DAM ! I actually look like an avatar lol. But I'm trying to stay positive as I know all will be worth it.

Congrats, good luck and happy healing to anyone else that has just recently underwent their procedure like I have.
