Who's had some PLastic Surgery??

Original post by Brian and Marie

I'll start....

I have 3 rhinoplasty/septoplasty's. Now you ask..why three??? I'll get to that in a sec!

I always hated my nose!! I had the big ole Italian bump and I was always self conscious about it. I'll never forget the day in 5th grade when this punk James looked at me and said 'WOW-you have a HUGE nose.' I was crushed!! So I saved every penny and when I was 17 I finally had it done! Everyhting was perfect- I LOVED IT!! I had it done over X-mas break and then took an additional 2 weeks off (Sachem is so crowded, my doc didn't want anyone bumping in to me in the halls). I went back to school with a pass to leave class 5 minutes early. Life was good- MY NOSE LOOKED GREAT!! That was until the day when a teacher I knew well decided to reach out and squeeze my nose while moving it back and forth!! OUCH!!! It started to bleed and hurt like hell- now remember this wasn't even a full month after the surgery!!!! I immediately went to my dr who informed me that we wouldn't know the full extent to the damage he did until it was fully healed which takes a full year!! As it turns out..the teacher F*CKED it up!!!! My septum was in the shape of an 'S'!!! We ended up suing Sachem...the settlement covered my next two surgeries! I had just turned 18 a week b4 the teacher squeezed!! It would've been a lot more money had I been a minor! Their argument was also that I wasn't a model- the nerve!! So the damage was sooo bad I need the next two surgeries to fix everything- which included taking cartilage from my ear to rebuild the entire tip of my nose!! I was able to have a top notch doctor perform the last two surgeries was was GREAT!! In the end- I love my new nose!!! It was a lot of pain and suffering but sh*t happens!!

Heres some pics from the 2nd surgery. I don't really have any from the 1st b/c my lawyers have them and we never made copies! The bandages go around my ear b/c I had a drain there from where they took the cartilage!

Marie, that was a great story. Thanks for sharing.

I'd consider a tummy tuck after kids. Maybe some less invasive stuff like botox and fillers, too. I'd also think about laser hair removal.

Whoa..what is WRONG with people...lol i dread telling peopleI' m a teacher with all the crap you keep hearing about the bad apples lately.

Marie that is some story but glad you love your new nose part deuce.

Hmm would i do plastic surgery? I don't know. Don't think so. I mean I am the Chairwoman of the Itty Bitty Tittie Committie lol but I have learned to love them. I guess what i WOULD fix is my jaw...but thats less cosmetic than it is necessary though they list is as cosmetic. I have TMJ and my jaw is literally off the hinge. It looks weird because my smile is so severely lopsided but what is worse is that I get nasty pain and my jaw pops all the time-grosses people out because you can hear it realigning. Annoying but its messing with my teeth and grinding down the ones in back so eventually I ened to get it dixed but its expensive and don't have insurance yet to cover or the time. I have to PAY someone to break my jaw and reset it...how depraved is that! I tell my DH if he ever really wants to pop me one, to aim for that area

Re: Who's had some PLastic Surgery??

I had a rhinoplasty last May (just under a year before the wedding). I did it because I always hated my nose and it has been severely broken as a kid and the damage was pretty bad. I had always wanted to have it fixed....so doing it before the wedding was a must for me. I love my new nose. There are times when I think I should have gone slightly less 'barbie'-like on it...but its way better than what it was before and it was worth the money and the pain (plus.....the recovery really wasnt that bad at all).

I never have and never thought I would but the boobies r falling and babies do nothing for my belly, well babies AND ice cream! Anywho, after the kids, if I ever win the lotto I might get the tummy tuck and a boob lft, but I don't ever see me winning the lotto so......

I HAVE!! I have had plastic surgery on my chin 3 times, and I plan on having another one. The first surgery was because I had a really bad scar on my chin which was in a funny shape, so I wanted it fixed. The second one was to take away the dimple in my chin that they created after the first surgery, and then the third surgery was for a little lift. I may have another one (although DH is trying to talk me out of it).

I didn't know you had a nose job. The first time you posted your dress fitting pictures the first thing I thought was 'wow that girl has a perfect nose'!

It takes a full year to completely heal, but I was bruised for a litle over a week and obviously swollen for about a month!

Re: Who's had some PLastic Surgery??

I had rhinoplasty a while back. Ans funny, some idiot decided to squeeze my nose about a month later too! Not nearly as bad as your incident, but I almost fell down from the pain.

I have also had fillers. I had my lips, chin & laugh lines done with restaylne 2 or 3 times. It was great but it was a lot of money & its gone now. I think I spent $4K or so. Kind of a waste.

Now that I have had a baby, my boobs went the opposite of other people. Mine shrunk up & ran away. They're all... hollow looking now. One day I might lift them to fix it but not until after I know we are done having kids. I might need a tummy tuck by then too.
