So I decided to finally go through with it. I have been wanting a nose job since I was a teenager. My nose was always big, especially the tip, but it was not out of control. That is until I got pregnant. You know how they say your nose gets bigger when you are pregnant? Well, Mine never went back down and over the years one side has gone out of control. People say they cannot see it until I take a pic and show them. I really want this and have been working extra hard to make it possible. This is it.

I am going to Tijuana Mexico for my surgery. It will be performed by Dr. Gutierrez Romero. I am so excited but scared at the same time. I do not want to wake up looking like Michael Jackson. I would die instantly. The doctor recommended an open surgery because my nose is short and he wants to manipulate the cartilage to give me a nicely defined tip.

If anyone has used dr. Gutierrez. Please share your experience with me.

Thank you

I will keep you all posted

I'm so glad you're here and that you started your story! Have you clicked through to Dr. Romero's profile? He has a few reviews there and maybe you can reach out to some of his past patients that way. I have heard that about noses growing during pregnancy. I'm sorry yours never went back down. How frustrating!

I hope you'll keep us posted throughout this journey. Make sure to have lots of cool drinks, lozenges and lip balm for when your mouth is dry from breathing through it after surgery. :)

Something is bothering me

b2Snow
So last week Tuesday I requested some pictures from the doctor's receptionist. Just wanted to see something other than what is on here. Surely they would have a large collection that is readily available upon request. First she told me they had to be sent to her. I call Thursday after I hadn't received them and she sounded surprised, she assured me she would resend right away. Now I had received everything else they sent but for some reason those pics aren't coming through. Here it is Monday and still no pics.

I don't want to be a bother but this to me is a red flag. My email did not just stop working for them only. I don't even feel like calling anymore. I just want to email them my cancellation request. It's making me wonder if I picked the right doctor.

What do you think?

I have been looking at two different surgeons, Dr Juan feo egana and Elizalde and Dr. Hector Milla. I have a favorite right now, however my final choice is not made. If you find out any extra info about either Doctors PM me and we can compare notes.

I agree, this could be a major red flag... I have a date with this same Dr. and I may have to start looking around again after reading your post... I do like your pics. I would like the same thing done with mine nose... Reducing the size, but keeping the overall shape.

It's better not to rush. You don't lose anything, you only learn more and one day soon you'll find your surgeon.
