I am having rhinoplasty surgery, and I don't know whether I should tell my friends and family about it. I'm afraid they will think I'm vain or judge me for having it done. What do you think? Should I tell?
Answer: The decision to talk to family and friends about surgery is a personal one
Each patient is very different in terms of their willingness for others to know they have had surgery. I have some patients who have gone out to the mall the day after a rhinoplasty (while still wearing their nasal splints) and have been very public about their procedures on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Other patients hide out in their homes or in hotels for 10-12 days following surgery until they are completely confident that no one would know about their surgery.
Your decision to undergo rhinoplasty or any facial plastic surgery is a very personal one and while it is helpful to have the support of family and friends, you should not feel obligated to tell anyone if you feel you may be unfairly judged.
Best of luck,
Dr. Mehta

Answer: What will the others say? Doing surgery to please you and not someone else
The most important person you have to please is yourself. If you are having the rhinoplasty performed in order to achieve a certain response from others, stop now, and re-evaluate. Your concerns are real. People will judge you, that's the reality and it will be for different reasons. It may be because of the money you spent; it may be because you want to change your ethnic appearance; it may be because they are insecure about their appearance, etc. Do the surgery to please you, otherwise you may be disappointed.

Answer: Who should i tell about my rhinoplasty
You should tell whom ever you feel comfortable telling them about your surgery. Having a rhinoplasty does not make you vain. It only says that you care about the way you look. At the end of the day, you live with your nose and you decide what to do with it.

Answer: Disclosure to friends and family about rhinoplasty First and foremost, the motivation to have cosmetic surgery should come from you, and not anyone else. While disclosure of your decision to friends and family is a personal choice complicated by the unique characteristics of your relationships, I believe it is always easier to share the experience with those you love and trust. I would first turn to those who you know would give you constructive feedback and support.
