I am so scared to get this procedure. Luckily I just found my doctor doesn't pack noses when hes done operating. I was really worried I wouldn't be able to breath. I have always hated my nose, (I am greek, and have my fathers big nose). Just getting the dorsal hump out. VERY nervous! Any tips? I am scared I am not going to like my nose when I am done. I love my profile view but HATE my side profile. It makes me feel like I need a chin implant. Its weird, some angles, my nose looks fine, others it looks awful. Will update this in two weeks. A month to surgery!

Just wanted to update this, had my last appointment on Tuesday! So nervous but I am excited. They are doing a closed approach on my nose which is all done on the inside but once they get in there and things don't work out the way there suppose to go, then they will be doing an open approach which is cutting the skin and peeling back my skin on my nose! That frightens me!! Anyways, I will upload some photos, I love my front view of my nose just hate my side view because of my "dorsal hump" I have before and after pictures of what it will look like, praying it comes out they way the pictures are! I would hate to go back for revision! I have my 22nd birthday on June 7th then that Monday is surgery time at 12:30!!! :) I will keep everyone posted

Just had all my blood work taken and my prescriptions filled! Bought Tylenol and the Aphrin Spray (I think I spelled that wrong) It was recommended by my doctor for any nasal decongestant. They are hoping NOT to pack my nose which I would prefer because I get bad anxiety thinking I wont be able to breath out of my nose. Again, they are going for a closed approach but once they get in there and things don't go they way they want them too, then it will be an open approach! Tomorrow is my 22nd birthday, Taking a little vaca to OCMD this weekend. I will post Monday morning. My surgery starts at 12:30 :)
Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf! My advice is to not be nervous. :) As long as you've found a surgeon you trust who has done a LOT of successful rhinoplasties, try to just relax. Easier said than done, I know. A rhinoplasty is definitely surgery, but, at least for me, it was fairly easy with little to no pain ( a lot of stuffiness) and a result I liked.
Maybe gathering some post op supplies will calm your nerves.
Please keep us posted. You can do this!
