I am considering Rhinoplasty and I would like some words of encouragement to make my decision. About the process, the results, and your self-confidence post surgery. I am about 90 to 95% sure I want to have a nose job because all my life I have always been teased about it. How big it was and now I am 23 years old and I really don't like it. It's too big for my face. I am thin and petite with a thin and small face with small features except for my nose. Lately I have even noticed my family members looking at my nose strangely (I'm the only one with a big nose in my family, the ugly duckling). If you have had Rhinoplasty in Orange County, can you please give me advice on why I should do it?

Motivation in Rhinoplasty Surgery

The only reason for cosmetic rhinoplasty surgery is you want to do it. A big nose does not make an ugly duckling. Reducing your nose will bring the nose into proportion with the rest of your facial features, but it will not change your life. After you have decided if you want to make the change, consult with an experienced surgeon.

Is Rhinoplasty the right procedure for you?

In general, if a patient comes up with excuses as to why they should not have any elective surgery, then that patient is probably not ready to proceed with this surgery. Remember, once your surgery is done, there is no turning back! The nose is a prominent portion of your face and any significant change in the shape of your nose will make a dramatic impact on your face. So please make sure YOU are ready for this procedure. Although your environment may place pressure on you to do this... more

Rhinoplasty

The choice to go ahead with a rhinoplasty is certainly a personal choice. If you are self-conscious about your nose and would like it improved that is fine. However, some people think that it will make everything else in their life better, and that is not so. It may improve your outlook by restoring some self-confidence.

Surgery can change your nose, but it sounds like you aren't sure you want this.

Yes, we can make you a pretty nose, but you sound very ambivalent. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does noses you like. If you are still unsure-WAIT. Surgery can be done in the future when you are sure. Surgery can be done next year, or the next,etc.
