Do Doctors Usually Refuse Your Request for a Nose Job?

February 16, 2012
Asked By:Jen in NJ in Madison, NJ

So, I have really been considering getting a nose job for a long time now. I consider my nose to be crooked/leaning to one side, it has a bump in the middle, and I would like to have the length reduced. Do doctors usually deny the patient surgery if he/she thinks its not that bad? because I would really like to get these things fixed, but they might not be considered dramatic problems.
