Cannot say "a nose job is a nose job"

Pixie nose shape require a rhinoplasty specialist?

Some people think my nose is cute because it’s pixie or elf-like. When I was younger boys made fun of me, calling me stuck up because of my nose shape. When I look at my friends and celebs no one has a nose like mine. I don’t feel sexy and I’m obviously self conscious about it. I’m considering finding a plastic surgeon for a nose job. Does anyone know if some surgeons specialize by type of nose job, or is a nose job just a nose job?

As a specialist in rhinoplasty, I would definitely not say that "a nose job is a nose job." Like anything else, find a surgeon who does a fair number of them. You will more likely get the result that you seek, and if there are problems, more likely have the best chance at an optimal outcome in the event of revision surgery. Good luck.
