i am EXTREMELY self-conscious about the bump on my nose. i know, rationally, that it isn't that bad, but i just hate it so much. i only want the hump shaved down. that's pretty safe/successful, right? i only ask because i have heard some horror stories on here. the front of my nose is fine. i just want the bump fixed. i will be getting the nose job sometime this summer, but am starting to get nervous.

On Wed. I had a post op apt. and we took the original splint off and put a new one on -- and I got a sneak peak. It's straight. Straight as an arrow straight. And my bump is gone.
Everyone was shocked that I was getting a nose job. But it has always bothered me so I finally did it - and I'm almost 40. My advice to you - do it. Don't wait. If you want it done, do it. You are gorgeous now, and you will be even more gorgeous after.
These posts here are great. I chatted with people who had their noses down when I was having mine. It was so nice to communicate with people going through exactly the same experience. So, if you have any questions, just ask.
I went to Dr. Steven Cohen in La Jolla/UTC area. I went to consult with four doctors before deciding.
I felt like Dr. Cohen had the complete package. Fantastic nationally recognized reputation, trained and talented anesthesiologist, great brand new office, tons of easy parking, a staff that was so nice - from the first phone call to walking in on surgery day! The entire experience was amazing. I can't wait until my cast comes off. I know I'll wonder why I waited so long to make the decision.
This is a big decision. It's my face. In the center OF MY FACE! And like you, I like my face. I always felt pretty and confident -- but my nose always bothered me because it didn't look like it quite fit. It had the bump and the tip was too big and round and even a bit flat.
I think you're beautiful, but can understand hating the hump on your nose (I felt the same way before I had mine taken off). Have you consulted with any plastic surgeons yet? I think one of the keys to having a successful rhinoplasty is to find a doctor who specializes in rhinoplasty, is ASPS board certified and who has lots of good before and after photos to show you. Make sure you're on the same page about what you want, too!
Hope this helps. Please come back and let us know what you decide.
