need some reassurance ;(
« on: January 30, 2008, 05:50:00 pm »
m 20, and for as long as i can remember i have had this big hump on my nose ..i guess its not as big as i think..but anyway...

2 years ago when i was 18, i was booked in for rhinoplasty..but chickened out.

And here i am again...booked in for rhinoplasty on April the 9th and completely petrified.

I honestly dont know how to make my final final decision. some days...when people look at me or i feel down..i am like, yes i want this done and the sooner the better...BUT some days i feel great and i dread such a thing and cant understand why i want it done.

I feel at a loss. My boyfriend of 3 years says he loves me this way, and that great...so i am concerned he wont like the \'new\'  me.

I dread that it wont look nice, or even decent. Its such a hard decision and i need some help.

I would love to be able to walk into a room with my head up, not down...but alot of the times i think, ahh sod em...they have the problem if they cant see past my big nose.

Anyone have any thoughts?

y there....


I\'m having the exact problem as you....with my nose and other such things. My little \'problem\' isn\'t TOO noticable in person, but in pictures ....I just can\'t explain it....!

This is a bad thing, as I model....and it\'s pretty much ruining everything. I\'ve been toying with the idea of having it done....but there are things holding me back....

First and formost....the op itself....knowing my luck, I\'ll die of complications. I\'m scared half to death of needles(heck, I feel queezy when I step into a hospital!)....and death in general. I\'m also prone to panic attacks, so....that ain\'t good!

Second....yeah, I\'m afraid of it looking worse too. But, I\'d like to think that if I got a good surgeon....everything would be ok....


As for your problem, I say....if you look in the mirror and it upsets you that much....by all means, get it done. I stand in front of the mirror all the time and imagine what my nose and other features COULD look like....and I like the idea of it....


Be brave....but make sure you\'re doing it all for the right reasons....


Oh, and when you get it done....please....email me! I want to know how it goes....how painful it was....etc. I hear it\'s not that bad....but....you know....reassurence is nice sometimes!

Good luck!

,
It\'s May 1, 2003. Did you go through with the nose surgery? If so, how did it go? Are you pleased with the results? (I know, it takes a bit of time for the swelling to go down)
If you \"chickened\" out again, perhaps you should have a consult with your doctor and express your concerns and fears and perhaps they made be laid to rest if your doctor explains exactly how the procedure is done, the possible complications, the results etc.
Did you doctor give you pictures of former patients that had the same procedure done? Much of the time, seeing other\'s results from the same doctor that is going to do your surgery can calm fears when you see the results.
It seems like you have allot of support and are loved just as you are, and if surgery frightens you terribly..back off for a bit and research it some more.  Sometimes patients of your doctor are willing to talk to you or meet face-to-face and you can share ideas and see their outcome and learn of their experiences before, during and after the surgery.
I\'m sure you will do just fine, no matter what you decide on!
