Getting a New Nose! Fingers Crossed!

Today I put down the deposit for rhinoplasty. I'm super nervous. My mind keeps going through all of these what if scenarios. Like what if I don't like it? What if something happens? What if I miss my old nose. I'm trying to just remember to trust my doctor. I had went on a few consults with other doctors and just didn't get a good feeling. With this Dr. I knew 100% that I wanted him to do the procedure. I should get a phone call tomorrow to book one last consult. So that we can go over exactly whats going to happen before surgery. Super excited and super nervous!

Oh, maybe I should let you guys know a little about myself:) I'm 32 a mom of one handsome 10 yr old. I've never loved my nose. It just doesn't really fit my face. I still feel attractive with this nose. Lol.. But it is an insecurity of mine. I had never really considered getting a nose job. But a few summers ago I learned down to give a little girl a kiss and she jumped up towards my face. Her head busted me right in the nose. And omg.. it was painful. My nose was a little off center after that. I could tell but I don't really think other people noticed. Forward to about 4 months ago. I got hit in the face with a picture. Freak accident. I'm clearly at the wrong place at the wrong time. Lol.. Well after that day I've HATED my nose. It was swollen and my cartilage on the right side had been pushed down towards the bottom tip of my nose. Everyone tells me they can't tell a difference. But I know ots different. The day after the incident I was driving my son to school and he was like mom!!! Why does your nose look big today??? What happened?? And this child is so considerate of my feelings always. He was just caught off guard. He wasn't trying to be mean. He was concerned. I'm around him more then anyone. If he noticed it in such away. It confirms that it's not the same! Lol.. I now HATE taking pics. Because I've always gotta find the right angle. Which isn't worth the time. Idk.. I'm starting this journey and I hope everything turns out good! This website has really helped give me the extra push. Thanks guys for sharing your stories. It really helps so much!

Hi, which Dr's did you have consults with if you don't mind me asking? Also, what did and disliked about them and which Dr have you chose to go forth with the surgery? Good luck with your surgery! Looking forward to your posts! Thank you

I went to sean McGuire in louisville for a consult. I didn't feel he was the Dr. For me. He really didnt say much to me. It was pretty much I can fix it. Consultation over. Lol.. I'm going with Jarrod little. He's so down to earth. And made me feel completely comfortable. Thanks for your comment:)

The date is set! May 15th! I have butterflies just thinking about it. Lol.. I just wish my nose could look like it did before the accidents. Ughhh.. Not really looking forward to surgery. I guess I'm just scared. And I'm scared I'll miss my nose. Lol.. I only hate one side of it. Lol.. The side that was injured. Money is paid! No going back now!

Hi, I stumbled across your post and I just wanted to let you know about my experience because what you sound like I was pre-op and I just WISH someone had told me this. Of course the decision is ultimately yours but it can't hurt for you to know this. Please, please make sure you're going to good surgeon and that he's told you ALL the risks involved. You may have a break in your nose but you're still very pretty and your nose doesn't do anything to take away from that. I had a minor break like yours and my surgeon has made me so much worse. He overcorrected and my nose looks so awful now and I need grafts - and I had assured myself that I was going to the best ('top' UK surgeon) but he turned out to be dishonest and unethical. Please make sure you're fully prepared for this.

I went to one that was supposed to be a TOP surgeon but it turns out he wasn't telling me all the risks i.e. that he overcorrects instead of undercorrects and so there's a chance end up needing grafts/filler.

Thank you so much for the concern. I went to your profile and read your posts. And I'm so sorry to hear about your outcome. Literally my biggest fear. I really appreciate you taking the time out to write me.

Day of treatment

Surgery Day!!

So I was nervous as hell! Lol.. They actually tested me for a UTI because I peed 5 times. Lol.. Nervous nerves. Completed paperwork. Spoke to the Dr. About our game plan. Who was wearing kick ass boots and scrubs. Got hooked to an IV. Lol.. Then I woke up and my mom told me it was time to get dressed. I'm like huh? Have I already had surgery??? She's like yes, it's time to go. She was laughing and were the nurses. Glad I made them smile. They were all awesome! So I was so scared. And when it was over I had no clue. Lol.. I instantly wanted a cheeseburger but the nurse said not a good idea. At this point I'm like mom stick it in the blender! She laughed. Dang it! No blender cheeseburger. Lol.. So now I just finished a cup of McCallisters mac n cheese and few bites of a grilled cheese. I was starving! Sis, I had not eaten since lastnight! A girls gotta eat! Lol.. I feel fine right now. A little drowsy. So please excuse me if this post is super confusing. Just licked back in bed watching cartoons now. I was so scared and the nurse and Dr. Made me feel great! I'll contact the Dr. And let him know just how I'm doing. He wants me to follow up. Which makes me feel good. I like having a Dr. Who wants to stay updated. I'll attach a photo. My eyes are black. I bruise very easily Thanks guys!

Yay, it's all done! It is really weird to get there get all prepped and then boom they are waking you up. I remember feeling the exact same way. Blender cheeseburger, hmmm.. I'm going to side with your mom on that one! Keep us posted on your recovery and results.

Did you like your results??
October 3, 2019
Not really. The Dr. said my nose was really messed up on the inside. I will say it seems to look a tad bit better each month. But I honestly liked my before nose better. I'm gonna try to stay positive. If I still dont like it at a yr I'll probably have a revision done. I'll post pics soon. I just havent liked it enough to post anything. Thank you for asking!

Sorry, I'm just seeing this :) I dont love it. Lol.. I'll post pics soon!
