Well about 3 years ago I started to not like my nose I felt like it was too big, the bridge is skinny and then the rest is circular like a clown nose lol. I started looking into rhinoplasty and said I was gonna do it eventually when I was in my vacation in college and my first year is done and since I have summer vacays to consult with this doctor that my neighbors recommended because her and her son got it done with Dr. Arturo Gonzalez in Tijuana. So I went on the beginnig of June and he couldn't make it so I recently went Monday to TJ and waited for him to arrive since he has to cross the border as well since he lives in San Diego. So I finally talked to him and he told me it was a little too wide and showed me pics of one girl with similar and said the eyes show more and ur whole facial expression changed for the better of course. He said when I became old the tip wouldve drooped. He is super funny and I felt really good because all the staff there he said has had rhino, I talked to his assistants, secretary and they love their nose and they said he is conservative he doesn't like his patients to look like theyve had surgery done he likes it to look natural!!

Personally I think your nose looks totally fine the way it is! But I know how it feels to be unhappy with that. Good luck and I hope you love your new nose too! :)

I didn't know you had your surgery the same day I did! We are surgery buddies! How are you feeling? I'm SO swollen and bruised! Yuck! But I actually don't feel too bad because of the pain medication.

Yea girl we are!! I'm feeling okayish there is somewhat of pain like a throbbing/tingly feeling it hurts to even try n touch it lol!! Really I actually aren't swollen or bruised yet I think everyones body reacts different just ice it a lot and take some med for sweling or arnica lotion I heard it works. Thats great that u dont feel too had thanks to pain relievers l!!
