I was thrilled with the outcome of my nose job, and so glad I did it
Pros:
No longer self-conscious about my nose! I look more feminine. Surgery took place in 1993, but price was outstanding even then, and for a wonderful surgeon.
|
Cons:
Nose reshaping is never perfect, and often looks unnatural. Also, the tip of my nose is not flexible like it used to be.
|
Cost:
1800.00
|
Healing time:
5 days
|
Pain-o-meter: 1
|
I was 22 years old at the time of my rhinoplasty. I was thrilled with the outcome afterwards, and so glad I did it. There was no pain, and I was given only a local anesthetic with some sort of anxiety-reducing medication to help me relax during the procedure. Even afterward there was no pain and almost no swelling or bruising. I was in excellent health and in great physical condition at the time; I also took vitamin supplements for two weeks prior to the surgery, which accounts for the quick healing.
Here are more details:

The doctor suggested I bring him a picture of how I wanted my nose to look, but I have much more of a "ski slope" than I wanted.

None, really - just excited about looking better.

none
Number of doctors consulted:
2
Number of years I thought about having the procedure:
