Wide Nose- Surgery Scheduled in a Few Weeks - Ontario, Canada

Not Sure
Spent: $7,797 in Ontario, Canada

Posted 20 Dec 2010

I'm scheduled to have surgery in the middle of January and I'm so nervous. I am very happy with my looks but my nose is always something that I'm self-conscious about. It's wide and flat and kind of has a bump on it. Overall, it just needs to be changed. lol

My parents are NOT HAPPY with my decision to get rhino but I lied and told them it was for a deviated septum (like celebrity lie about...) so they kinda bought it.

My boyfriend (who is caucasion) is kind of worried about the outcome as well.
Im kinda nervous about this surgery because the doctor seems to have a vision of how to shape my nose but is telling me that he'll basically do what he finds best to narrow and lift my nose while the surgery is performed.

I'm really worried but VERY excited because I've wanted this forever. I just wish my parents weren't so offended. They keep on telling me I'll look like Michael Jackson and they keep on telling me that I'll hate how I look afterwards because Im a pretty girl now.

Any words of advice? Any encouraging things to consider while I'm at the pre-op stage? I'll post pics after the surgery!

You are a lovely lady, that's for sure. But I can understand wanting a nose tweak (after all, I did it several years back). Michael Jackson had at least three or four nose jobs by the looks of things. So, no, you likely will not end up looking like him.

Just make sure you feel comfortable with your board certified doctor. It's true that there's only so much they can do to a nose depending on its structure. If you're confident he'll do his best with the confines of your body tissues, there's no need to be nervous. You'll do great.

Looking forward to seeing your After photos!

I am looking forward to seeing pics of your results. I too am looking for a surgeon (want a nose job this year) and have the same situation as you: wide nose that could be better, family saying I will look like Michael,etc. Truth is I am trying to find a surgeon who specializes/has experience with ethnic rhinoplasty and the only two I have found are in Toronto. Hopefully I can consult with him as well if your results are great.

I also forgot to ask: does the price you quoted include OR, anesthesia, tax and all other extra fees associated with surgery?

Yes, the price was 6,900 which includes the nose implant and tax and HST totaled $7,797.
If i didn't have the implant itd be 5,900.

Ill post pics after my surgery on Thurs!

I'm looking forward to hearing about how your surgery came out! When I read your story it sounds almost exactly like mine, so I'm really eager to see your pics, I hope it works out because I'm trying to decide on which doctor to choose for my surgery.

I to am happy with myself, but I always wanted a more feminine nose, I also have my Dad's nose. Twice I had the funds and went to consultation, but was talked out of it by my husband (now and ex!!) and i always regret it. It's perfectly okay to look your best. Am am back to planning to go to consultation and this time doing it for me. I know you will be fine.
