I have always wanted a "cute" nose (put it in parentheses because I know it's a relative term), and this year I have finally decided to do something about it. I have researched and met with many doctors in San Diego, and I think I finally made my decision, planning to have the surgery in March. Will post pics soon.

Soooo exciting! I remember when I was in the place you are right now. It sounds like you did a lot of consulting and research, so that is excellent. Here's a list of pre- and post-op tips for you. Please do keep us posted! Looking forward to seeing your pics. :)

Thanks! What are you having done? The first day was rough, but then, it's like everybody says - all of a sudden, you slip into a comfortable state. Interesting. I think it's the drugs - the antibiotics AND particularly the anti-swelling medication - MethylPrednisolone - I think that's the one that is most important. Hope everything goes well for you and you get the results you want! I'll post more pictures, as I continue looking better.

Thank you, Angie, this site has been extremely helpful to me, and I am sure to many others. Some of the details I learned here I wouldn't have necessarily thought about, and it's very comforting reading about others' experience, knowing that there is a whole community where you can find answers and support. Thank you!
