The One Gift I Always Wanted and Finally Received - Vienna, VA

I always wanted to get my nose done but was scared of having surgery. Well, at the loving age of 40 I have my share of surgeries. So I felt having my nose done would be my 40 birthday gift. I am happy I did it now and I have no regrets. I like the fact my surgeon suggested subtle not drastic for my facial features also basic life style. He also listen to me because I was so confused and happy at the same time when he agreed that he can give me nice results. Others doctors scared me and I was not feeling what they were saying about what they can or what should be done to MY nose. Dr. Yousefi listen to me was patient with me. I am happy I choose him.
I have/had my fathers side of the family nose. I was told I was a pretty girl never had a problem social life. I was teased but I don't have low self esteem so it rarely got to me. I was popular in school had lots friends that I hung out with even though I was the girl with the big nose. So far my sister and close friends say they like and looks nice on me. I am praying they are not being bias. Tell me what you think, thanks.

Thanks for sharing your story on RealSelf! Do you have an "after" photo you can post, too, so we can give you feedback?

Thanks for posting your "after" photo. You look pretty, but it looks like it might still be a bit swollen. When was your surgery?

I agree. There seems to be swelling which may make it difficult to see the end result.

It's honestly hard to tell because usually when there is a reduction there is allot of swelling, can take 1 - 2 years to subside. It's always best to choose a surgeon with 10 years or more experience, specialises in rhinoplasty, has specialty training and does 5 noses or more a week. because it's an extremely difficult and intricate procedure. You should always choose a surgeon who is experienced with ethnic noses, as the anatomy of noses can differ from race to race, it's hard for a surgeon to achieve the best results without that prior knowledge and experience.

This is working for me:)

Only the people that knew I was getting the sides of my nose cut. I did not want a "nose job" that was extreme. When I go to family functions and even at my job that I been on since 2008 no one know or can not figure out what I did. I am not living in the lime light with that being said Dr. Yousefi did what we discussed; what I was asking. He made suggestions but this is working for me. My nose is not wide as it was but it is still mine.
