Fresh Start for College...Southlake, TX

I've hated my nose since 5th grade. Going out in...
WORTH IT$7,800
I've hated my nose since 5th grade. Going out in public was always tough for me. I felt like my nose was the first thing a stranger would look at, since it's so big. I was made fun of for the bump on my nose throughout high school and I'm ready to do something about it! I joked around with my mom one day about having a nose job. She surprised me and agreed that it was affordable. My dad quickly jumped on board, and I was on cloud 9. My parents are very supportive and I know their goal is for me to be truly satisfied.
I'm so happy I finally set my date and I'm ready to have a fresh start at college.

I had all of these reservations and had mine done recently. I had a list of things to tell my surgeon and didn't say any as I had faith he knew what he was going. I suggest u write a little wish list and give it to him befor surgery. Mine was breathing issues so no Jose broken although had a nose broken and apparently fixed back in the day. I went in with no air ways and fractured tip today and now lying in bed peerfect with from what I can see my normal nose back. Do it. Life's too short. Make the wish list of what u don't want to look like. Use a reference to celebrities and he will know what u mean. Good luck let me know how u get in. I don't even have black eyes lol

It seems like this might be one the hardest parts! Waiting, lol. I hope that mine goes as smoothly as yours. Thank you so much for the kind words, you made me feel better! :)

Same here! I also don't want my tip turned up the way I see so often. I'm also hoping that he will be able to shorten my long nostrils (my tip is really long atm!). I have no idea how they do this stuff, they're sort of magicians! So much trust involved. Just be sure to tell your doctor several times that you don't want a certain kind of nose and show him pictures of what you do want. He can even take them into surgery for reference!

They can make nostrils smaller and tip smaller. Yes magicians. They are amazing. Do t forget u also have an after appt so if u are not happy u can have it fixed

I know right! I keep reminding myself that I need to trust my doctor. I feel like we are both on the same page, but you know how it goes when you start thinking and worrying, lol. It seems like we both want similar results (not insanely dramatic changes). Thanks for the kind words :)

My doctor doesn't have a free revision policy! Plus he is in Virginia and I'm in Massachusetts. But I'm trusting that all will go well. In the two months I have left until surgery I'm teaching myself to be less of a perfectionist and to be less critical. I think that's the key. I am like the princess and the pea sometimes-- my eye just looks for imperfections! That's a bad habit though, and all habits can be broken. I WILL be happy! :D

You are so right. We have to keep a positive eye and not be critical of our noses! Nothing's absolutely perfect... I'll have to teach myself day by day. Wish u happiness im your surgery!

Did the doctor give you simulated before and after pictures? That helped me a lot. Our surgeries are scheduled for the same day!!! Good luck!!!
November 5, 2014
The doctor did, but the front facing photos were hard to get a good idea of. That's why I'm freakin out about the "piggyness" lol. But I need to stop being a chicken and December needs to get here! Lol thanks for the kind words :)

You know it's nomal to see up the nostrils slightly from front view. If u couldn't see any u would have a hanging tip so expect to see a difference but a good difference x hood luck

I had surgery 3 weeks ago and my nose is not piggy at all. If you have a good surgery won you will not go piggy. I had dr Howard Webster
November 5, 2014
I do, but not with me so I kind of forgot... lol. I hope mine goes as well as yours did! Thanks for the help :)

Good luck to you. Hope goes well. I had absolutely no pain from the procedure just a bit of discomfort.. It is worth it. The downside is that we expect results immediately. I will be honest it's been three wells and my nose is fat still swallon and not much shape. It's a long process but every day it gets better and better and in one years time it will all be worth it. Hope everything goes well

Go you! even just to be brave enough to put up some photos. You will be so excited when it's over. Speak December

You're going to look great! Especially since what you want in a "wish" nose is so straight forward. I am nervous about mine because I want them to sort of give me a whole new nose! Change the length of my nostrils, reduce the columella show, shave down the bump, and reduce my tip. All without looking like a barbie nose! It's all about trust, eh?
November 14, 2014
I do not think your "wish" nose is totally different. Your before and after noses don't dramatically differ! But yet again, it is all about trust. Guess we gotta leave it up to the 'professionals'..... :P

It's great your parents are supportive, I haven't mentioned anything to my family yet b/c I'm afraid they won't be supportive. Good luck with your surgery! I hope everything goes well and your recovery is fast. You'll have to post-op pics! I'm Sure it'll look beautiful. :)

My main argument was that I was doing for myself, and that it would make me a totally different, extremely confident person. I would suggest that you tell them that it's for you, no one else. Hopefully they understand Where your coming from and and no doubt they will love you the same. Good luck to you :)
November 20, 2014
Good luck !!! We should keep in touch we only one day apart :) Can't wait to hear how everything is going :)
