So today I went to my first rhinoplasty consultation! I'm 19 and just moved to Vancouver from california. My nose (specifically, my profile) has always bothered me. It's not that bad but I got my dad's romanish nose and I just want it more refined and feminine and smaller. I'm just scared since it's not THAT bad now what if I hate it after the surgery and wish I'd never done it? I know that won't happen but what if? I almost wish my nose had a big bump or something so I would definitely see an improvement no matter what. That's why I need a skilled surgeon who can make subtle but definite improvements. I've been researching rhinoplasty for a couple of years now, and I know I want to do it, it's just always been a question of when will the time be right. This seems like the best time to do it since I saved up money and I am not around any of my friends and family, who I don't want to tell. I know I could tell them and it would be fine, but I know they would just be confused and awkward if I told them. I don't want anyone to know, just to wonder why I look so great haha. I scheduled an consultation with Dr Bartlett in Vancouver. He specializes in rhinoplasty and does hundreds a year. He has been doing it for more than 20 years. He has completed a Fellowship with the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and is certified with the American Board of Facial and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and is also Board Certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. He has studied further post specialty training in Facial Plastic and Rhinoplasty Surgery in Switzerland, Italy and the United States. Anyway, so he seems very qualified. I had the consultation today and he was awesome, very nice and friendly and professional. This is the computer imaging picture he did. He would lower the bridge, reduce the columella, and create a supra tip break. I really like it but I feel like maybe I should have another consultation and make a few tiny changes. I don't know. Is it to straight and pointy? I want to have a small cute button nose! I'm a surfer girl and I want a nose that matches my personality. I want the kind of nose that looks like it should have freckles haha if that makes any sense. Just a little bit upturned and small and cute. I'll try to find some wish pics and compare a little more. He was so nice and right away I liked him, so I am tempted to just book the surgery with him! But I have heard so many times to go to several consultations before you decide on your doctor. Any thoughts I need advice!

So i edited the picture dr bartlett did and this is more what I want my results to look like! When i went in for my consult I didn't bring any wish pictures and I was having a hard time explaining exactly what I wanted, so the doctor came up with the picture above. But the more I looked at it I knew it wasn't exactly what I wanted. so I edited it a little more and also edited the results of the chin lipo I want. That is my dream profile! oh, to be able to put my hair up without feeling self conscious... anyway so I emailed it to him to ask if something more like that would be possible.. fingers crossed he says yes..
