Ever since I was younger I was always bullied for...

WORTH IT$6,700
Ever since I was younger I was always bullied for my nose. My nose was a lot bigger than other girls', and I was constantly made fun of and called names for it. Over time, as you can imagine, this took a HUGE toll on my self esteem. I never found myself even somewhat attractive; I avoided mirrors and constantly hid my nose, even at stoplights in traffic I would block it with my hand. I decided that I wanted a nose job to reduce the size of it and make me feel comfortable in my skin for the first time! There were so many pros to getting one that I didn't doubt my decision once. The only con was when people would always say "Well you're so young, how do you know you want that done yet? What if in a couple years you'll be okay with your nose how it is? What if you regret it?". But the answer was always the same and so simple to me - I was going to do it. I wanted it. I knew deep down that I would never feel good about myself unless I changed it. And so I did it, and it was hands down the BEST decision I've ever made in my life. I have confidence in my appearance now. I don't mind looking in mirrors. I didn't even hide the fact that I got the procedure done. I'm proud of how I look now, and if you're considering one and you really believe it'll make you happy, then do it.

Your result looks great! Congrats on your decision, I think most of us can relate to your story... you are a pretty girl and if this surgery gave you more confidence, it has to be a good thing :)
Thank you so much! :)
You look great! Great advice by the way. I didn't broadcast mine but I definitely didn't hide it! All close friends knew and it's definitely made me happier. I'm not in love with it's still an improvement :) So happy for you !!!
* not in love with my own, I mean. (Please excuse my typos) Yours is stunning :)

Looks wonderful! What would you say was the worst part of recovery for you?

Looking gorgeous! Did your doctor have to use any grafts or just sutures?
Wow! Your before and after result is STUNNING! You were very pretty before, and your new nose definitely enhances your beautiful features! My rhino date with Dr Wayne is Mar 10, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for similar results!!! Thanks for posting your B&A pics to RealSelf.
