My whole adult life I have been unhappy with my nose. Not a day goes by and I can't help but look in the mirror and wish it were more symmetrical. Three weeks ago I get slammed in the face by the back of my friends head while I was playing in a pool with my daughters and instead of being upset by the break or the pain I started giggling because I knew for a fact something major had happened and that this would be my ticket to a new nose. Sure enough!!! Broken and discovered that my septum is all kinds of JACKED up! I am four days away from my surgery and so nervous and excited. Scared that I won't look like myself. :(
I do know that if I don't take advantage of this opportunity then I will regret it for the rest of my life! I know I am in very good hands with Dr. Swenson and that I need to just sit back and enjoy the ride.

I have always been so bugged about the cartilage in the tip of my nose and how off balance the two sides are. As I have aged I feel like I've watched one side become more and more different than the other side as if it is growing on only one side. Dr. S explained that the left side that is higher is where it should be and the right side is drooping and that he will be able to fix that.

Whoa, those x-rays are fascinating. Thanks so much for posting! I think it's cool that you're getting this done for yourself. Just a few days away! Make sure you have lots of lip balm and cold drinks on hand! Here's a good list of supplies you'll want before the big day.
Tomorrow is my big day! Scared! :(
Scared! :(
