So my story is pretty much just like everyone else's on here.. i don't like my nose and have considered rhinoplasty for quite some time. Throughout high school and middle school I always thought my nose made me unattractive. Surgery was always on my mind but I never realistically thought that I would actually take the steps to find a surgeon and go through with it. My rhinoplasty is scheduled for August 9th with Dr. C and I am beyond excited and scared.. Scared because you really never know what your going to come out looking like lol ill post before and after pictures as it gets closer to the date of surgery and after

Hey! Good luck and no need to be nervous. I just had mine yesterday and was FREAKING out the whole way there. I even thought I was going to throw up! The nurses and staff make you feel so comfortable. I was most nervous about anesthesia and that whole process but it was SO easy. I haven't felt much of any pain except for my throat of course. Discomfort with the packing but that gets taken out tomorrow. Good luck!

Don't be nervous! It looks like you don't need much done (sorry if that's sounding rude; if it is, just take a peek at my before pictures), so it won't be different to anyone else, but amazingly different to you. I'm about 8 weeks post-op, and can't believe that my nose is just a non-issue for me now. Get ready for ponytails and not worrying about people seeing your profile! I'm so excited for everyone doing this, because it was seriously worth every penny!

8/9- today i had my surgery at 8 a.m and I am sooo surprised at how easy and painless it was. Last night I barely slept because I was so anxious and worried also with the addition of not being able to sip water for 8 hours made it kinda hard. When I got there I met the Dr. C's nurse and anesthesiologist. They were so great and funny and it totally took my mind of what was about to happen. Once I laid down on the operating table, the anesthesiologist put the IV in my arm and casually talked to me about college and random stuff.. All of a sudden i'm in the next room with a cast on my nose and my eyes closed. That was the strangest thing I don't even remember closing my eyes or what I last said! The next nurse I met was AMAZING and so kind. I was a little dizzy once I got up to go to the bathroom but after that everything was completely fine. My upper lip was super swollen which it has gone back down to normal now and throughout the day i've had the same pounding headache. The ride back home to Long Island wasn't bad.. I had to keep changing my gauze and overall it really just feels like a BAD cold. I can breathe through my nostrils on and off. On the way home, my boyfriend stopped at my favorite restaurant and got me food which I could barely eat and actually couldn't taste it at all. At home I sat down for a while and watched TV and as of right now I feel great. I have the urge to clean my bathroom actually lol.. Ill post two pictures.. the first one is right when I changed my clothes before I swelled up and the second one I just took now

Also I kinda freaked out this morning on my way there contemplating my decision to have it done. Everyday this week I would think about it all day.. one minute I was all for it and the next I would be like no wayyyyyy its too risky I'm not going. But I ended up doing it and I'm not sure if it'll change my looks completely for better or for worse but the more I thought about it, I thought to myself life's too short to live in fear and uncertainty

how did your surgery go?
August 9, 2012
Unexpectedly easy and perfect! I feel normal and the only thing that's really uncomfortable is the stuffiness but other than that I can't really complain
August 9, 2012
that's awesome to hear. Speedy recovery!!! Btw if you dont mind me asking, what type of work did you have done (bridge/tip/nostril tuck)?
August 9, 2012
He chiseled the bump to make the bridge straight and lifted the tip a bit.. when I took the gauze out I got to see my nostrils and i can already tell its so much shorter than it was before
