Nose job..

Calimama wrote: I've realllllly been thinking about getting my nose done. Seriously I have the ugliest nose EVER! I got it from my dad... and boy do I wish I had gotten my moms. We have the money for it but I'm worried about not being happy with the end result, so I've been putting it off for ever. Has anyone ever had their's done? Or any sort of plastic surgery? Maybe I should post a picture..

cameragirl21 replied: not a nose job but i had a deviated septum and they did a septoplasty on me so i could breathe better.
if you get a good plastic surgeon it should turn out fine...the recovery is hell, i can tell you that much. but it only lasts a week or so.

Calimama replied:
I'm not so much worried about the pain as the end result. I feel I need it but DH is totally set against it, says my nose is fine. It's not fine.

cameragirl21 replied:
there's no pain in the recovery, the issue is that you can't breathe thru your nose, it's all bandaged up, and yet it's really runny and you can't stop it from running.
that sucked.
if you're not happy with your nose then you should do it, regardless of what dh or anyone else says.

Calimama replied:

Not a problem.

Ugh...thats my nose and I hate it. I want mine done too.

I say go for it if your not happy with the one you have. I see nothing wrong with plastic surgery, to an extent. As long as you do your research and find a really good surgeon, everything should turn out fine.

MoonMama replied: I say if your really unhappy with your nose go for it, you above all else are the one who needs to be happy with yourself. I've thought of getting breast reduction before (I know TMI) I am quite chesty (36 DD) but I am way scared of the pain.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: I had a breast reduction done nearly 5 years ago. Went from a large DD to a small D. I would do it again in a heartbeat. The recovery wasn't bad, just a few days of achiness, I was back to work after a week off. But that's a different surgery. I think plastic surgery is a good thing. It can really boost your self esteem. I'll probalby do a tummy tuck when I'm sure I'm done having kids. If the money is there, do it. There's no harm in self improvement, even if others don't see a problem. You are the one wearing your nose, not your DH and if it bothers you then fix it. I scheduled my surgery without even telling Aaron until after the fact. We weren't married yet then, but he wasn't happy. Tough luck, I told him the day he carried them around he could help make decisions about them.

ITA. If something that bothers you that much is something that can be changed, do it!

msoulz replied: I too inherited my father's nose - big ol' bump in the middle. It bothered me for so long, and even my dad made comments about it (not the smartest thing for him to do as far as my self esteem). I don't know how old you are, but I'm now 40 and I can tell you that it means nothing to me now, and has not for some time. I have a wonderful family, great friends, a good career and all of this was accomplished with a less than stellar profile. Just something to consider!

hawkshoe replied: My sister just had hers done in November. Honestly, I didn't think she needed it done, but she did. The results were really nice. It wasn't to dramatic, just a little thinner. She actually looks more like my mom now. She said it wasn't to bad to go through, just took a while to heal (swelling and bruising to go away).
