I have always hated my nose! I hate my bump and how wide it is !! I finally decided to go through with getting a nose job and I feel that my choice with Dr. Golden in Troy is the right one ! Less than a week until surgery and I'm getting super anxious and nervous !!! Here are some pictures of my nose now. Sorry that I don't have many side view pics (I hate my profile).

This would ideally be what it looks like from the side !!! Dr Golden does not show you after pictures on the computer so I did play around on my own lol

Day of treatment
SURGERY DAY
So today was the day ! I was very nervous going into the office but the nurse, receptionist and helpers were all so nice and welcoming !!!! It didn't feel like some scary operating room - it was a small little room with a chair and they gave me a warm blanket to cover up with ! The surgery was over with before I knew it! I could towards the end hear them talking and I knew when they broke my nose - I also remember spitting out lots of blood - but better out than in right !? Although I could hear things i definitely couldn't feel anything - it was the craziest feeling !! Anyways when it was over I got some apple juice and rested until my sister came in and the nurse went over the post care. They wheeled me down to the the car and though I did feel a little nauseous at first I basically just had a small headache by the time I arrived home. I'm assuming it was because i had nothing to eat or drink including caffeine (I normally get caffeine headaches if I don't start the day with it). When I got home I was just so tired still so I took a norco and went to bed for 5 hours. When I woke up I felt a little nauseous so I ate some soup and a grilled cheese, it's kind of hard with the drip bandage to eat soup but I made it work lol. My nose has been bleeding pretty heavily through out the day I've changed the bandage three times. Dr. Golden called me from his cell tonight to check in and reassure me that everything went great and that he was there for me if anything was feeling scary. He is so funny and such a great doctor! He really did throughout this whole experience make me feel safe and so good about my decision. Here are some pics starting from right after the doctors until bedtime. Will post more every day.
