Would I Have Rhinoplasty Again?
The tip of my nose goes a little to the left. Not that you could notice because you wouldn’t sit there and look at my nose in a thousand different angles repeatedly. But, you would your own. Also, I had to have cartilage taken out on the right side and added to the left. But, I noticed by comparing my befores that my nose went to the side even before my rhinoplasty.

My Recovery After Rhinoplasty
Finally my rhinoplasty surgery is completed and we’re home!! Uh oh. I am nauseated… You ingest a bit of blood during the procedure and it can make you sick. Which it did. In my

Rhinoplasty: Why I wanted it
I went to my doctor with the complaint of my having a “ball-peen hammer nose”; clinically referred to as a ‘Hanging Columella’. Now, I never really thought of my nose as unsightly until a very rude photographer said I had a “Ball-peen Hammer” nose. What the heck does that mean?!? So, ever since then I have been insecure about it (9 whole years until the day of the operation), I had considered having a nose job. Plus, I wanted the tiny hump removed.
