WORTH IT$7,000
I’ve always wanted a nose job since I was a teenager. At the age of 13 I was emailing plastic surgeons asking questions and sending my photo to see what they could do for me. Crazy… huh?
Now that I’m 25, I’m so ready to get this done not only to look better, but to get the confidence I lack. I’ve been picked on and lost too many tears because of my nose. I dislike the bump and the bulbous look of my nose. I feel it’s the perfect time to do it because I’m single and no children. All of my previous boyfriends would tell me constantly how beautiful I was and they didn’t understand why I would want a nose job. I feel like when I was in a relationship the guy would always tell me I didn’t need a nose job and shay me not to do it. So now that I’m single it’s a perfect time to get my nose done! So when I meet my future husband he will fall in love with me and my new nose.
I’m very fortunate because choosing the plastic surgeon was very easy for me. One of my friend’s referred me to her plastic surgeon, Dr. Edward Farrior. I’ve seen his work because my friend’s daughter and son both got nose jobs. I saw their before and now it’s been over 2 years and their noses look incredible. When I first met him at my consultation, he was very polite and understanding. He told me I would be a perfect candidate and get the results I wanted. I completely trust him and his expertise. Dr. Farrior did explain that I would have more swelling than normal because of my cartilage is thicker. Lucky me! lol I appreciated his honesty so I know what to expect.
I had my Pre-Op appt today and it went well. I’m kind of nervous now because I really want a dramatic difference and want all of my friends to know by looking at me that I got a nose job and people I don’t know just to think I look nice. Is that too much to ask!?!? I trust my doctor and know he will do the very best he can but it’s still nerve racking!
This site has helped me see that I’m not alone with being unhappy with a part of me and the outcome it all worth it. I’ve read most of your reviews and it’s sooo helpful!! So thank you so much!!

4 days to go! I'm so ready to get this done! I was told not to have any alcohol beverages two weeks prior to surgery... well I went to Atlanta and had a few to drink.. I hope that doesn't matter.. Did anyone else have to do this?!?
Also my surgeon recommended creating a very small bump near my bridge so my nose isn't perfectly straight. He said because a straighter nose looks larger.. I'm not sure exactly what to do.

You are so close! As for the bump being left on your face, your surgeon probably knows best, but here is a link to a free morphing site; you can use it to see for yourself whether or not you want a small bump left. It is easy to use; you just need to upload a picture. Good luck!!!!!!!

You will be FINE!! You are already beautiful mama!!...stand by afterwards..you will love it. Takes some getting used to..but its awesome..i promise....You are my farrior-nose sister:) I cannot believe how easy breezy it was for me. I still have frontal swelling so get ready for that. I'm still waiting for my nose to look like the day the cast came off and it will be a while:( I'm here for you if you need ANYTHING ..seriously!! Aahhh 4 days!!!!!

Im not sure if I would put a bump in it. Mine is perfectly straight and Im happy. :D But really its up to you. I drank 3/4 days before surgery it was a couple glasses of wine, I cant reccommend it but I wouldnt worry too much. I wish you the best of luck and hope everything goes well for you

Monday is the day! Let the count down begin. I'm not scheduled until 12:30pm so I'm not looking forward to waiting the entire morning till I go into surgery.. Any suggestions on what I should eat tomorrow night to keep me full till surgery?? I cannot even drink water! Ahh

Hey hey! I just wanted to wish you the best of luck on Monday! I really relate to your story. After considering rhino for years and years, I had my rhino/septoplasty done 3 months after my 25th birthday. It's only been 16 days since my surgery but so far it's definitely the best present I have ever given myself. I hope you feel the same!! :) Another great thing about you doing this now when you're single is that it's totally YOUR decision. Although you are lucky you had boyfriends who loved you for you and just the way you were/are. (Me, not so much! Every time one of my ex-boyfriends and I got in a fight, he would constantly make comments about how big my nose was. Luckily at that point. I'd been getting made fun of my nose for YEARS, so I was just like "here we go again!" Ugh.) But, I TOTALLY get where you're coming from and I'm so excited for you. You are already so pretty and I can't wait to see your new nose!
Definitely eat a big meal to tide you over tomorrow night, maybe like pasta? I wouldn't do anything too spicy though. It should be something you really like too - you may have trouble tasting food for the first week or so after surgery. Keep us posted!!

Yes, the timing sounds perfect! I was 27, pre-husband and kids, and it was awesome. You ARE beautiful, but I understand what it feels like to hate your own nose. Please keep us posted. Just a few more days!
