Hi guys,
I have created this profile in the hope to share my rhinoplasty story with complete transparency! My story is no different than most who struggle with insecurities regarding a particular feature. Mine just happens to be about my shnoz. My nose is not distracting, deformed, or "ugly" -- but it's never felt like my nose. For as long as I can remember, I have felt that it does not highlight my feminine features and petite bone structure. I find it to be quite bulbous, uneven, a little long, and there's a noticeable bump. With that said, over the years -- I learned to accept my nose. Besides, I take after my beloved grandmother -- and I figured I would just learn to love it and move on. I knew I'd never love it, and probably always have a complex about it, but it wasn't worth losing sleep over. However, in the past 2 years -- the opportunity to have this surgery has re-opened that door, and I could not be more thrilled. No more compartmentalizing about this foreign nose that's called my face home for the past 26 years! (Sorry Mimi, I'm sure you would understand.) Anyhow, I have done my homework and have come across a doctor I feel extremely comfortable and confident about. He has been more than happy to address questions and concerns I've had, and I feel confident putting my trust in his hands. My pre-operative appointment was earlier today, and all expectations of the surgery were covered. My lovely boyfriend has also been so supportive in this decision, and I'm so thankful to have him here to share this journey with me. We have crossed our t's and dotted our i's, and are patiently awaiting the surgery date; August 18th! I will post some pre-surgery pics of what I've been workin with -- and I will follow with updates as timely as I can. Thank you for reading, and wish me luck!

Update? I feel the same about my nose, not awful, but definitely room for improvement.

Good morning! It's 4 days post-op, and I'm feeling pretty sleepy. Swelling on day 3 seemed to be the worst, and has subsided considerably. Overall, the pain from surgery is very minor, and the biggest issue has been a sore throat from being intubated. It has been SO painful. I'm very excited to be able to breath out of my nose again, as this has just made my throat so much dryer and uncomfortable. I can't tell much about the appearance of my nose with the cast on and with all the swelling -- but can definitely see it's smaller. I'm super excited to see what it looks like this afternoon when I have it removed! Dr. O and his team were extremely kind and have been with me every step of the way. All my expectations have been met so far, and based on his bedside manner alone -- I am very pleased. I will update more after I see the results!
