Like almost everyone else in here, I've been so...

Like almost everyone else in here, I've been so unhappy with my nose for around 4 years now. But it wasn't until this last year I really started to seriously consider rhinoplasty. The reason is because I am basically not happy about people changing their bodies just because they want to perfect everything. But I do think it is ok to change things if they really stand out, and if it affects your life. And for me that's what is the case. I think about my nose every day, and feel really bad because of it. Another thing that is bothering me is I can't do anything with my hair, because then my nose really stands out, so it makes me feel restricted, and much less feminine than I would like too.
Now. I'm 20 years old, and I currently don't have a job. A lot of the reason why is because I'm struggling with an extremely low self esteem. And that is also why I'm so looking forward to this, since I know it will really boost my self esteem, and help me in so many ways. I actually never thought I would be able to afford getting this done, but then I got an unexpected opportunity, so after some thought, I decided to do it.
So looking forward to the results! But not so much the operation itself. D:
I am a pretty anxious person, so I just hope I will be able to keep myself somewhat calm before the actual procedure. I don't want to take anything to calm me down before the actual anesteshia, because I'm scared of that too, so I've just gotta stay as collected as I can I guess.

First thing first.

The first thing I'm going to do now is attend a doctors appointment the 9th of July. The surgeon needed a statement from my doctor since I wrote in my health history that I have a mental illness (AVPD, if anyone wonders). It's nothing serious, and nothing that affects my ability to make my own decisions though, so that should be ok. Feels a bit weird to have to explain why I want a rhinoplasty to my doctor though. Which I haven't actually ever met before, since I've moved lately. But fingers crossed it will be fine. :)
Then, my actual consultation with the surgeon is at August the 14th. And this is actually right before school starts for me. I'm hoping I get a surgery date pretty soon after the consultation, so that I won't have to go too long at school feeling a bit down because of my nose.
That's it I guess. Now I just have to wait. :)
I appreciate all kinds of advice and tips! And pictures will be up soon.

I LOVE your morphs. If you're able to find a great rhinoplasty surgeon (with lots and lots of rhinoplasty experience) you are going to be so happy you did this!
Here's what some doctors say about choosing the right rhino surgeon for you.
I hope this boosts your self-image to the sky and beyond!

Thank you so much! :)
I am very confident that the surgeon I'm having a consultation with is the one for me. ;) The overall impression of him at the clinics site (he has a video) and what it says about his education and experience is very good. Also, I've been looking at reviews on him on different forums, and everyone seems to be very happy with their results. So I'm confident I've made the right choice. :) I'll also question him thoroughly at the consultation about everything I want to know, because I of course won't let just anyone mess with my nose. ;)

You are a very pretty lady already! I think you have the right approach, that you want improvement, but aren't trying to change every little thing. I was diagnosed with a mild case of bipolar when I was young, and usually I am treated with acupuncture and herbs. My PS prescribed .25 mg of xanax (aprazolam) for me to take for the first 10 nights after surgery. It helped me sleep and reduced my anxiety considerably. I hope that you have a strategy in place to help with the emotions that arise from what is, indeed, a physical trauma recovery. Wishing you beauty and the best of luck!

Thank you so much for the advice. :) Aprecciate it.
I think I might feel a bit under the weather after the procedure, but most likely not so much that I will need any relaxing meds I think. ;) I will probably just feel a little more nervous than most do on the actual day of the operation. But I am prepared, and I'm bringing my mom, so I think it won't be something I can't handle. :)

Good! Knowing that you anticipated the event and making your plan, like making sure you feel supported will set you up for success"

Love your morphs! I have a similar nose that is overprojected and too long for my face. My date is 11 Sept:) Can't wait to see your results! All the best :)
