I started disliking my nose in high school and have wanted to do something about it for over a decade now.
Finally, I have a surgery scheduled.
I met Dr Finger and we both agreed that my bridge needs to be narrowed, bulbous tip corrected, bumps filed down, and there will be a graft to help with tip projection.
I'll also be having a correction of a deviated septum. Yay for being able to breathe better!
I'm a little concerned that Dr Finger and I might not be on the same page as far as what I expect the result to be, because he doesn't do any sort of computer imaging to show his patients what results he is aiming for. So when I meet with him tomorrow I'll address this and make sure we are on the same page.
Surgery is set for Jan 28. Can't wait!!

I met with Dr Finger today for my h&p appointment and to go over any questions/concerns.
I told him it made me a little nervous to not have a computer image because there's no way for me to see what he is envisioning. He spent time explaining the expected outcome to me and really made me feel at ease.
I've now done all be pre-op labs and gotten my prescriptions for surgery day. 3 more weeks!

I've had the same worry about not having computer imaging. I've seen three surgeons and will see another next week. Only one does the imaging.

My surgeon said he doesn't like doing imaging because the nose never comes out exactly like the image... but it would still be so nice to have it to know that my expectations are in line with his! Really wish he did it! I did send him a bunch of photos of noses I like though, and thst made me feel better :)

I'm excited to see how your journey goes :) I'll be posting before pics soon (I'm trying to help manage my impatience by not doing a full/detailed profile yet haha). Best of luck!
