Is It Possible to "Regret" and "Undo" a Nose Job? (photo)

January 8, 2013
Asked By:ML666

Hi! I'm asian and I have a flat nose. I've been wanting to do a nose job a long time ago but I'm still confused whether I should or not. The main reason is that I'm afraid of all the limitations in activities it can cause and the fact that I need to be cautious and can't rub my nose however I want to later. I'm also afraid that I won't like the outcome. Is it possible to do the nose job and later undo it to get my old nose back if I'm dissatisfied??? Thank you for answering please!
