I have wanted one for as long as I can remember. My nose isn't terrible but it could be better. I want the tip reduced basically but my fear is that it wont look natural or I will get that pinched-nose look or worse.

I am a student in college and will likely have to pay for this on my own so I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on average cost, the best doctors in the NYC area and how exactly consultations work.

hi, actually I decided to go with Dr. Oleh Slupchynkyj. I havent gotten it done yet because of various things lined up so healing time wouldnt be feasible but I did have a consultation and it went well. he allows you to see what you will look like after a rhino with a unique imaging software which he claims is 90% accurate and he also has a history of VERY natural results. If you are looking for a good rhino guy, hes your man! plus he is trained in surgery for only the face so he knows his stuff.

Hi there,

Here's a list of doctors who do rhinoplasties in NYC. And here's what some doctors say about choosing the right rhinoplasty surgeon for you.

Consultations are basically just an appointment to discuss with the doctor what you don't like about your nose and hope to improve. He will examine you and give you an idea of what he can do for you. Some doctor's offer computer imaging, which is fun.

Some doctors will waive the consultation fee if you mention RealSelf, so check on that when you call to make your appointment.

Please keep us updated on your journey!
