I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY NEW NOSE :D

Oopsies!! Just realized I commented instead of updating my review!! So today I took the plunge and told my twin (we are not identical) about my wanting to get my nose done and it did not go as I wanted it to... I actually was not really wanting to tell anyone until a firm decision was made but at the insistence of my husband I did go ahead and tell her. Now we are really close and I do tell her a lot but a part of me didn't want to tell her. Her first response was "WHAT, WHY?" And then followed by the typical, "YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON" .. umm no... I'm not a very confrontational person so I just basically told her I'm going to do it and didn't feel the need to further that with any more of an explanation. She then confided that she was thinking about possibly getting her stomach done because after her daughter was born it never looked the same but she justified that with "but your nose has been like that forever, my stomach isn't" UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just kind of wish that people would realize that I understand how much of a big deal this is. I would not voluntarily go "under the knife" if it wasn't something that I seriously despised!!! It's not something I just decided overnight, it's been probably about 15 years in the works now and I've gotten to the point where I'm flat out sick of feeling this way about my nose!! UGH!! Ok rant over :) Now on to search for some plastic surgeons in Michigan, hopefully not too far away :)

Sorry about this one too!!! This was actually March 6th!! Still getting used to posting on here :) Eventually I'll get the hang of it!

So my first consultation was TODAY!!! I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY (I could go on!) Liked the PS!!! He really did put me (and hubs) at ease! He was amazing at fielding questions too!!! He had asked me what it was about my nose that I didn't like and I ran through the list of everything I despise about my nose and he came up with an attack plan of how to correct everything and even said that he would give my nose a nice curve (which is something I really wanted but didn't outright say)! He was very professional and when he was explaining what he was going to do, he took a look at my face and basically said we aren't going to give you a tiny barbie doll nose but something that more compliments your face :) He also will not pack my nose once the surgery is complete... hallelujah since I've read so many reviewers about how horrible that experince is ;) The downside... I did ask him how many surgeries he performs per year and his answer was 5-6 per year because that's what the area requires, which I believe because Im not from a very large town and quite frankly, I personally have not come across very many people who are unhappy with their noses!! I am definitely going to sleep on it for a little while, but really that is the only downside. I was talking it over with hubs and I thought outloud... in my opinion, the most difficult surgery would be that of conjoined twins... there are not many doctors who perform this surgery routinely but there are great surgeons out there that could perform this surgery well. So that being said, although he may not do very many rhinoplasties per year (however he has been practicing for 20 years) he is a really good surgeon. Board certified, FACS... I also saw a number of before and after pictures. I was happy with the results I saw on noses that were similar to mine :) I did not however like the results of patients that were not similar to mine but it could just be personal preference.... Soooo let me ask you.. what do you think????
