I had been thinking of doing this for a while, my nose always bothered me. Now more than ever it made me very insecure..so much that i would cry about it. It just made me miserable. I don't think it was that bad, some angles my nose looked cute but the profile is what really bothered me. It was curved and big and it just did not fit with my face. I had been thinking about it (seriously) for about a year and i finally decided to do it. I really did this for myself because my boyfriend and family didn't really think i needed it and mostly thought i was crazy. My mom was really supportive and so was my boyfriend. I only told 3 people, (mom, boyfriend and best friend). I don't feel comfortable others knowing and I'm kind of freaking out about everyone's reaction. I don't really know what to tell others...I guess i'm scared of people judging me.

I got it done on October 24th and still have my cast on. I'm so depressed right now because I'm still not sure about how i feel about my nose. I can definitely see the change even with the cast on but i'm scared of the results. My doctor told me i would be amazed by the results since my nose was droopy, curved, had a bump, was large and was deviated..and that it wasn't all that anymore! I'm getting the cast off Tuesday morning, i am swollen but don't have that much bruising.

This week was veryyy lonnng and i feel all i did was eat..it was very emotional for me ups and downs..i just can't wait to see my results and i hope i am happy with my new nose.

I'm sorry about all the lows you went through. Recovery is a tough week for sure. Do be prepared for a little strangeness when you get your cast off. It's going to feel odd and you maybe won't feel like yourself. But give it time! Because once the swelling goes down and you get used to it, you're going to mostly likely really be pleased. Keep us posted!

It is all normal what you are going through. But if your surgeon told you that the outcome is great, you should try to be positive. You won't see the final result for a while but hopefully the 'preview' when the cast comes off will make you feel better.

oh wow, your profile looks fabulous. you probably have some swelling more visible in the front but from what I'm seeing the profile looks perfect.

I don't see the bump and yes the tip is swollen which is the normal state (it will probably get worse tomorrow. But I honestly love your results and it will get better.

You look GREAT for 9 days post op! It's only going to get better. Did you have closed rhinoplasty? that tends to heal faster and be less traumatic. I had a nose overhaul so I'm pretty beat up haha.
