I had a Nose Job

[shadowaddict]

Thank you so much for posting your progress pics and the info. You look beautiful. I have always wanted to do this also, but the cost and fear of scars is what has held me back.

Your welcome, and thank you all for your compliments.
Well as for scarring, it is very rare that people scar, that all depends on your doctor and as for the cost, I didn't have the money upfront to pay cash, I wish I did, I paid on a credit card, one year intrerest free, so I pay until December of 2008, as I pay for my surgery I am healing along the way. But I am saving up for my breast implants, I need to save for those they can cost more then $5,000.00.
I have learned to sacrifice and save money for this next surgery, I use to buy so much make up and clothes that I didn't need, now when I go out with my mom she shops and I hold her bags rather then me shop, unless it's a must or if I have extra money. Just hide your money somewhere and keep adding to it and don't touch it. That's what I try to do.
Good Luck

I'm so glad you're happy with the results!

You're gorgeous before AND after.
I actually love your nose before, although it's stunning afterwards as well.

Very good job. You're so beautiful and your eyes are so expressive and gorgeous!

thanks for sharing your experience

Thank you so much for this! When I saw the before pictures, I though: "WOAH, this girl is beautiful, she doesn't need to have ANYTHING done!" but the results are GREAT!!! I'm considering getting my nose done (broke it when I was little, so it's a bit uneven and has a bump on one side - nothing major, but it still bothers me a lot, and can also be quite painful sometimes) so this was really helpful to me. I've been worried about bruising and pain, but seeing this, I definitely think it will be worth it! So thanks a lot You're gorgeous.

You look great!!

Wow you look great! I wish I could get a nose job. I just feel its too damn big for my face.

[YvetteJeannine]

I'm happy for you...I think it's important to take care of things we don't like about ourselves (I also think it's important to learn to accept ourselves, BUT there are SOME things we can do to feel better about ourselves, and Rhinoplasty is one of them I agree with).

By the way, though...I DO have to tell you I always loved your 'before' nose...I remember when you were discussing getting the surgery; I almost hoped you wouldn't go thru with it..I thought it gave your face a lot of character...I liked it! But, I like this 'new' nose, too..and, like you said, it'll keep getting 'better and better' for a while now!! Good for you!

I was too busy to take pictures last Monday, which was a month after surgery. So today I finally had time to take pictures today, and I am at 5 Weeks Post surgery. The only thing bothering me is that my left nostril is slightly higher then my right nostril, it's kind of arched higher up then my right nostril, you can see it in the pictures I just took. The doctor said that it is just swelling. and it's too early to tell if they will stay that way, but the doctor said that they will change shape, plus by looking at my nose each week it looks different all the time. Sometimes I wake up puffy and swollen other times I wake up and my nose looks a little more narrow, it's all in the healing process.

Thanks for looking, I will keep you all posted

Wow...you look like a different person. Plastic surgery is so amazing in that way.

You look fantastic! Thank you so much for posting this. I too have been wanting a nose job and now I am dying to get it done! How much pain were you in after the operation? Also, how much time did you take off from work?

[Pnk85]

It looks great, just be careful and don't wear glasses b/c you'll get the imprint. My auntie got a nose job & that started happening to her so now she can't wear any type of glasses for awhile.

I had my nose done at the end of November. I can't wait to go tanning again in a few months since I have been ordered to stay out of the sun for 6 months post surgery, lol. Little by little my nose changes, but my doctor said the same thing....that it will take a year for full results.

[SoSoAmazin]

You are soo cute! Your nose looks fantastic! Love your current hair BTW

Thanks. But you see I was never born with a hump in my nose, the only reason I had a hump was because I wore prescription glasses since I was 8 or 9 years old, and the weight of the glasses sitting on the bridge of my nose caused a hump to appear over the years. So now that I've had the surgery I do not wear any glasses at all, not even my beautiful Juicy ones I have to wait probably over a year till I can wear my stunner shades

You know a nose job is the least painful surgery to have done, there's not much pain, your face feels paralilyzed more then it feels pain. It took off 2 weeks, and then after that it was safe for me to come back, I was afraid to catch infections from being out of the house so I just relaxed and took everything easy, it was like a little vacation, and my only options were to relax and enjoy my time off.

[missmacqtr]

u look pretty! and ur makeup is gorgeous !

thank you so much for sharing!

[Jujubegirl]

Thanks so much for the pics. I agree that your new nose looks very natural. I often think of getting my nose done. It's asymmetric and though it looks mostly okay straight-on, I have two different profiles, and both are bad.

You look great!

[coachkitten]

I always thought that you were beautiful! I think you looked wonderful before but they did do a wonderful job. I am glad that it turned out so well and keep us posted.

[sparklingmuse]

thanks so much for making this! ive been dying to have my nose done since i was like what, 10 years old?! im middle eastern, and have a very arab nose. i started saving up for it since january, but since im a broke college student, i havnt saved up much. :/ my family is completly against it, so if i get it done ill have to pay for it myself. ive wanted to go in for a consultation but i didnt really know what the price range would really be like. i found quotes anywhere from 3000-6000 online. im graduating this summer so i really want to get it done then.

thankyou!

[marreyes38]

your nose turned out real nice...im happy for you

[doodles]

Looks very natural! Congratulations!
