(EDIT: I'm a lad by the way, not a girl lol)

Hey Guys,

Little curious about this if any has expereinced it before or maybe ya know someone who has gone throught it. I've been ice skating for a few years now and would consider myself to be excellent skater, i have been playing ice hockey over a year and the only time i have ever normally fallin is normally during a clash in a match. In November i had a serious accident on the ice after i fell (Reson is totally unknowen, i was out cold!) and smashed my face up pretty bad.

The result was a broken/fractured nose in two places, Scaring from where the boke punchered by skin (gross i know) and smashed my teeth up. I'v already lost one of my front teeth, all of there were out of line and several others suffered such trauma they sevearly discoloured.

Luckly to means i wont go into i am lucky enought to get all this sorted.
In January i had my nose rebroken and straightned up which is very common prodecure for people who suffer a broken nose in fights and what not.
During this time a dental plan was also getting arranged.

Unfortunatly the nose prodecure didnt go to plan and i ended up with a disfigured nose only due to the way it healed. The only way to sort my nose once and for all was using a cosmetic prodedure called Septo Rhinoplasty, or "Nose Job" this also eneded up being slightly more intensive than your adverage MTV/Swan job because it was already so bad, with the operation lasting a little over two hours! :eek:

This operation was carried out two weeks ago and a few days later i recieved most of my dental work including my false tooth and porclin vaneers to cover the discoloured tooth, followed by some teeth whitening to blend them in.
I also had emergency braced fitted back at the time of the accident in November.

Yesterday the bandages of my nose where taken off, The final vaneers were put on and the braces taken off. Didnt take too much a detailed look at myself in the dental surgery or hospital as i was rushing to the next place. EVENTALLY after all this on the way home yesterday i dropped into get a hair cut, got home and hopped into the shower and then FINALLY had a proper look at myself.

I'm shocked! I really cannot get over this, i'm not trying to be big headed or anything but growing up in school and college i've never been an "attractive" kinda guy, i've always been the one who asked for the dates or got turned down in the night club. But now finally i think i look good, and again i'm trying so hard not to put this into a "look at how hot i am" kinda way but i hope you guys understand what i mean. My nose looks like it belongs on an actor and is more than i coulda have asked for. My teeth are straight and even white.... i've never had white teeth!

Now to the point, I've seen both these prodecures go off without a hitch and the end results are so different and totally amazing, so now i've started looking at my ears. I know i'm paining myself to look like shrek or something but altho my ears have never been mentioned to me nor i have overly noticed them i cant help with think "Maybe i could pin them back a little?".

Is this common after getting surgery done and seeing good results?
Will in a year from now i be researching pec implants or something?
This has been a emotional journey for me because i'm only 19 and my looks have been on my mind with worry alot since the accident and now to finally not have to worry about it is a huge relief!

Let us know what you guys reckon, Has anyone ever experienced this or know someone has become addicted?

ye once u get all the main things out of the way, u start to concentrate on the lesser things that u never noticed. al lthe other stuff would take precedence. now that they're out of the way, ur focusing on the small things. tbh, i'd say leave the surgery at that. ya'll end up lookin like michael jackson or sly stallones ma!
