Cindy's Rhinoplasty

Introduction:

I am 21 years old and I had a rhinoplasty last month (August 1999). I had a breast augmentation last summer and felt it was one of the most positive decisions I have made. I was so pleased with the work my surgeon had done on my breasts that I felt very comfortable returning to him to perform my nose surgery. Dr. Olesen has been doing plastic surgery for over 20 years and does over 300 cases of noses each year. I did go to a consult with one other doctor, but something about his office made me uncomfortable. I decided it was worth the extra money for my peace of mind.

Both of my parents have had their noses done...my mom when I was 7 and my dad when I was 13...so they were very supportive of my decision and I knew just what I was getting myself into.

As the date of my surgery grew closer, I became very nervous. I looked through magzines and picked out the profile I wanted. I had a very straight nose to begin with...but my nose bridge was up pretty high and I felt my nose was too overpowering on my face. I was terrified of ending up with that "scooped" look...I certainly did NOT want a ski jump nose!
