Ever since being a teenager I realised it was evident I had in herited my families large nose. I was jibed and bullied in school's and all through my later hated my nose. Im now 34 and after 3 kids ive decided now is the time to get that smaller more feminine profile ive longed for. Im also having breast augmentation at the same time cus lets face it after 3 rounds of breast feeding theyre looking pretty sorry for themselvs. I am travelling to Turkey for the surgery where I will be staying in a private villa for 8 days. I am really really nervous ive been finding it difficult to sleep at night and just trying to keep myself as busy as I can but its fast approaching. Its gonna be really hard on my own without my husband and kids but its what ive been waiting for almost all my life.

I'm n e r v o u s!! But determined, it should be very manageable in comparison to all of to other things I've been through. Nevertheless it's surgery and it is my face. But one must have faith in their choice of docs.

I'm so glad you started your story on RealSelf! I know this time pre-op can be nerve-wracking, but before you know it you'll be on the other side healing. Here's a list of rhinoplasty recovery supplies you might find handy.

Less than a week to go!

Hi guys im having my surgery done with a company called revitalise in turkey they have been voted the best for cosmetic surgery abroad. Theyve also been featured in the daily mail (uk) and I have read nothing but praise from past patients.hi beaglesmom I know what you mean about surgery to the face I had 3 c sections awake with just a spinal block but compared to rhinoplasty it seems like nothing. Ive been really weepy today and clingy with the kids I just wish it was all over.

Today ive started packing my suitcase and its really hitting home now. I have been sobbing uncontrollably and spending every second I can with the kids. Its crazy because before the kids arived I used to work all over the country and travel the world on my own and I couldn't get enough.But the tthought of being without them now is devastating I know its only ten days but its long enough.
