I have wanted this for so long and have always hated my nose. Sometimes i feel selfish and superficial because there are so many worse things in this world than a nose that is disliked. I figured it's now or never. I am going through a transition in my life now at 34. Lost all my baby weight, lost 40 pounds, and I want to feel good about myself. It will be so nice to take pictures and not cringe every time I see a side profile shot or worse 3/4 shot. I have not told many people about this but i feel this will be a very resourceful community for me to have.

Can you see why I would want to do this? My husband says from certain angles, he understands why my nose bothers me. My family on the hand is not supportive of this decision...except for my dad. He says he knows I've wanted to do this for a long time. I am hoping hard that all will go well. the worst for me would be ending up with a nose too short or piggy nose. Some people like the upturned look, but I am not a fan.

Hi! I am not sure if my comment went through the first time. After reading your story I felt like it was exactly what I was/am going through. I just had my nose done 8/29/13 and get the splint off 9/5/13. I can understand your concern with the superficial/ selfish feelings, I have those as well. I have even tried to justify it by thinking things like "sometimes braces are cosmetic and no one judges those people" or "its cheaper than a car", but in the end I did it because I wanted to and I could afford it. I think the key is to find a good doctor and have realistic expectations. I am 32 and have wanted nose fixed since I was 16. I had a small bump and bulbous tip... hated my tip, constantly felt like I should be lead reindeer for santa. Let's see since I just had mine done, tidbits of info... my doc recommended Arnica -herbal supplement for bruising. It feels like a head cold, really stuffed up and the splint is rather itchy after a few days. I guess nausea is rather common because of the blood draining down into the tummy (sorry if it's too much info), my anesthesiologist drained my stomach three times during surgery and I still threw up afterwards. Wishing you nothing but the best and just remember you are doing this for you, not every one else!
