My story
Ever since the age of 13 I started to notice some changes with my nose. From having a petite nose with a sharp tip my nose started to turn more bulbous. This lead to a lot of bullying in school and in 9th grade my former best friend decided to made snide remarks about my nose (making downward motions showing that my nose is droopy, while hers is upwards). Unfortuneatly, she does objectively have a better nose than me, since she has nordic genes. Today, at age 20, I have a nose with a droopy tip regardless if I am smiling or not, with a small hump on the bridge. Regardless of people´s opinions I have debating of having a nose job from the ripe age of 14 (!).
When I have shared my beliefs of wanting a nose job, I have heard things like ”Oh, but no you are already so pretty so there can’t t be any improvement” or stuff like ”be happy with the way God give you” or stuff like ”you are my daughter you are insulting me, since you resemble me”. I have felt guilty for wanting to have a nose job, even though I truly believe it would make a difference for me.
The main issue is that when I do have my photos taken I constantly complain of how the nose ruins all pictures, cause I think my other facial features aren´t that bad. I hate my nose since it defines my ethnicity too much. I am from South Asia but have roots several generations back from Middle East, I don´t think I have thick skin since the hump is so visible even though it is so small.
My goals for a rhinoplasty is to get a nose with: a smooth slightly curved bridge with a pointy refined nose tip, nostrils that are showing more from the front view and no hanging tip while I smile.
My nose: ugly with bulbous tip, hump on bridge, droopy tip when smiling
Goal: Petite ”barbienose” , see Dotuzen Kroes nose (that´s basically the nose I want)
Are my goals realistic, what do you guys think? I am debating between going to a surgeon in Poland vs a surgeon in the US in December. Since both have had good results I don´t know who to pick.
Any questions? Please, comment below or pm me.

Anil Shah patients please come forward

If you had rhinoplasty with Anil Shah please pm me and show me a before and after picture (you can blurr your eyes out). It will help me and I wish more people was unselfish enough to share their results. There should be more results of Dr. Shah on realself considering the amount of rhinoplasty procedures he does every year....

Hey! I have read some good things about Dr. Kalecinski but also some not very good ones on Polish sites (those weren't for rhinoplasties though but other procedures). Apparently, he's not a certified plastic surgeon, just a general surgeon - I am not really sure if that's true though. I was considering him myself since I'm originally from Poland though I don't live there anymore but I decided to go with Dr. Charbel Medawar in Beirut.
I think Doutzen's nose is really cute and I don't see why it would be unrealistic for you to achieve something similar.

Hi. I am not sure either if he is a certified plastic sugreon or just a general surgeon, I read somewhere that there are a difference between surgeons that are general and surgeons that are specialized in facial plastic surgeons. Apparently the general plastic surgeons are trained in general surgery, they can perform all plastic surgical procedures while the facial plastic surgeons do 2 years of general practice first and then specializes for 3-4 years on facial procedures (rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery etc). The difference of the years studying to become either seems to differs with either 6-8 years. Source: http://www.realself.com/question/plastic-surgeon-vs-facial-plastic-surgeon-there-difference
I found some before and afters of Dr. Adam Kalecinskis patients could I pm you to get your opinion and then show you some results by Dr. Shah?
July 13, 2014
Yes, I'd love to see the results. Feel free to PM me anytime and I'd love to help with anything if I can. :)

did you have the surgery done?
September 21, 2015
Since I realised that I am taking a too big risk considering most people I've met rate me as very good looking. And I have seen that most surgeons can't make people's nose as narrow as I would like mine to be, my nose is already on the narrow side, the risk of it being bulbous after surgery is too big of a risk that I don't like to take at the moment considering my young age.

Haha I wish the same. What's the point of posting a review if you don't show the before and after photos, right?

Some rhinoplasty after results that I like
GogoanimeJuly 12, 2014
I have attached some new photos of a model that underwent rhinoplasty with Anil Shah, I really liked the result he did on her alars and he refined the nosetip so it became a beautiful upturned nose. I really like the tip work he does.
I also liked the result this girl received by Adam Kalecinski (http://www.realself.com/review/poland-in-rhinoplasty-surgery-harley-street-without-the-price-tag) but I am concerned that he might not be able to refine the nosetip the way as Dr. Shah has done. I don´t feel like choosing purely on cost...

Good luck in your journey. I hope you can find the surgeon ejo can achieve ypur desired nose.

I just wanted to say that I really like your nose. It's elegant and it suits your face. I don't really like the models nose you so desire to have in fact I find it a little too small, pointy and upturned. There is a fine line between having a nose with a little bit of character and one that dominates the face too much. Your nose I think is lovely and just a touch characterful.
July 13, 2014
Oh thank you, that´s very nice of you to say! I actually like the size of my nose, it isn´t the size, I just think the tip droops too much when I smile, I am debating on if I should choose Adam who makes very natural looking noses (without columella hanging) or if I should choose Anil Shah who seems to give one the "pointy" nosetip which I desire so much. Both are great surgeons but they have different results.

I'm glad you're doing your homework! Smart lady! Your best friend sounds like she has/had some insecurity issues of her own.
Here's a list of questions to ask at consultations.
Please keep us posted on your process!

I like your nose and think it suits your pretty face quite well. I don't think it is droopy either. If you wanted to get a rhinoplasty, I would suggest very minimal changes. Maybe just smoothing the dorsal hump and barely any tip lift. I don't think the "Nordic nose" that you described would suit your other features. You're very pretty already. Good luck. :)
July 13, 2014
Thank you! I actually like my nose more now than I did several years ago but it still bugs me a lot. I actually have to disagree, the main issue isn´t the hump on the bridge it´s the tip that dropps too much when I smile making the distance between the top lip and nosetip too small. Objectively it does dropp a lot when smiling. I had a very "piggy" nose when being young that´s the reason I personally feel I would look better in a nose like that. It would soften up my other features (the jawbones are very sharp). Since the nose grows with age and the tip also grows with age (which many seems to forget), it is a waist of money for me to do minimal changes on the tip, since I won´t get the result I want otherwise.
