2 of 8 surgeons rejected me for rhinoplasty. Why? Is it still safe to get rhinoplasty from another doctor? (Photo)

Asked By:dsny95 in Los Angeles, California

Hi, I'm in my 20's, fit & healthy, no smoking/drinking, never had surgery. I've contacted 8 surgeons, 6 said I'm a good candidate, 2 said no. One that said no said they don't think they'd make enough difference to warrant surgery, other said due to nose & skin structure there can't be much change. Why do you think they said no? Does my nose look suitable for rhinoplasty? I don't want slim defined nose, just shorter without droopy tip, nicer slope
