OMG.....I am sooo excited to be able to 'talk' really talk to someone about this; I mean people who have 'been there'.....My surgery is in two days....I cannot believe I am FINALLY going through with it.....I have ALWAYS wanted a nose job my whole life.

My brother had one when he was younger; And looked great.....I am 53 years old and my parents (and I) are very worried about the 'recovery. I am fairly healthy Thank God...don't drink or smoke but have not exceried in a couple months.....I only meet with the surgeon once unfortuntly It was very hard to get a hold of her; just to talk about what was to become of my big nose.....I see myself in picture and always comment 'delete the nose'!

Soo finally I am ...........like I said or didn't I am VERY nervous and excited...........I really can't believe I am finally taking the plunge................
Any advice, suggestions, encouragement discouragement us welcomed.........!!
Thank you

here is the link: http://www.realself.com/forum/before-rhinoplasty Read all the comments below as well and as many reviews (both good and bad) that you can. You will learn a lot from the mistakes of others and also that those that did a lot of research beforehand, usually had the best results. Good luck.
