Hi everyone, thought I would keep an account of my experience as reading all of yours on here has really helped me a lot. My surgery is on Monday with Dr. Asaria in Toronto. I'm more excited than nervous at this point, I am sure whatever he does will be an improvement, I am just hoping that it will be as drastic a difference as I want. My consultation was all the way back in October so I am a little worried he won't remember exactly what we talked about or something, but I think I'll have time before the operation to go over everything one more time. I have all the supplies ready, and have stocked up on books and video games to keep me entertained. I'll most likely post pictures later or you can message me and I can send them to you, I feel sort of weird having my pictures on here.

First off, I want to thank everyone for the nice messages I received wishing me well on my surgery. I can't believe the surgery part is over! Everything went well. I got there at 6:45 AM and had a nurse take my blood pressure, ask me some questions, and take a urine sample. Dr. Asaria as well as the anaesthesiologist came in briefly to talk to me as well. Another doctor took some pictures as well. They do a great job creating a really comfortable atmosphere. I really recommend doing your surgery at his office rather than at the hospital, I felt way less anxious there. By 7:30 I was in surgery! Such a strange experience one second you are lying there and the next second you are out like a light. It took until 11:30. Dr. Asaria told my parents that it all went really well, that he straightened out my septum because it was quite crooked on the inside. I noticed when I woke up, before the swelling began, that I already felt like I could breathe better than ever!! And I never realized my breathing was impaired because I guess I was so used to it and although I noticed I have always been a mouth breather so maybe the deviated septum is why. I was in recovery longer than expected, until 2:30. I was feeling really emotional and anxious from the drugs, and light headed. The nurse Charla was absolutely so lovely, beautiful soul inside and out and I am so grateful for how calming her presence was to me. Asaria also said I have thin skin, so to expect bruising and I am definitely very bruised and swollen today.
So the weirdest thing is being able to see my nose in my peripheral vision when I close one eye and see there is no longer a hump and it is not crooked, I can tell already that it is straight!!! I'm happy already and to be honest I feel a little euphoric that I FINALLY did this for myself after being so insecure about this since I was a kid. I really hope that all of you have this feeling afterwards as well, do what you need to do to feel happy, life is too short to not improve and transform yourself when you have the chance to. :)
BTW I was totally wrong to be worried that Dr.Asaria wouldn't remember me, he creates a detailed plan for each of his patients and knew exactly what I wanted for my nose even though its been months since I have last see him. I will write a detailed review on him as well after I get the cast removed. So far, I am extremely impressed.

My concerns
elia55May 3, 2016
So my main concerns with my nose pre-op were:
1) the bump
2) over projection
3) overall size
My nose was quite strange because from the front it looked straight, very narrow, and fine, but from the side it was pretty misshapen, it stuck out so far from the rest of my face and also was bumpy even though the rotation of the tip was fine. I asked Dr. Asaria to create a nose that was straight, shorter, more feminine, and more delicate. Here is a before pic and after pic, I have better before pics but Ill post them later.
