WORTH IT
I can't believe I'm finally doing this! I've wanted to fix my nose for as long as I can remember but coming from a small town considered it to be something only people on TV did lol. Since finding this site, I've realized how common it is and that I'm normal for wanting this done! All of the experiences on here have made me so excited to get this done!

Whats getting done.......
Firstly I'll say, I'm 32 yo and have planned this out in my head for at least 10 years. Still feels surreal! What's getting done? The works. Most importantly getting my deviated septum fixed and straitened, then, secondly getting my tip narrowed and defined, nostril size reduced, hump removed, tip lifted. I'm not exactly sure if my nostril size can be reduced without having an alarplasty done (I think that's what it's called) I don't mind the width of my nose normally but when I smile I HATE how wide it gets and that my tip droops down. I'm terrified of getting that "pinched" look when your nose is narrowed too much but I'm very confident that my doctor will know what will and won't look good. I'm all prepped! Supplies bought, Hotel booked, and my awesome dad is taking 2 days off work to watch the kiddies while my honey takes care of me in Halifax! 10 days!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much! Highly medicated right now! I'll update asap. I was so nervous but everything went perfect! All I felt was the pinch of the needle going in for IV and the next thing I knew the recovery nurse was waking me. Good luck tomorrow! You'll do great! I'll be thinking of you!

Supplies hmm?
So, I've gathered some supplies I'm sure I'll need. The Clinic gave me a list of things I should have on hand for recovery which was very helpful. I also purchased the most comfy neck pillow ever! I added a picture of what I have so far. I also have tons of hydrating lip gloss as I heard the mouth breathing during recovery does a number on your lips. I'm on the fence about getting the moisture spray. To everyone that has gone through this. Do I need it? Would drinking lots of water be just as good? My prescriptions for pain won't be given to me until discharge but I do have Tylenol and advil on hand as well. If there is anything I'm missing, I'd love to hear suggestions. Thx!
