I went to my 4th consultation a little over a month ago. I'm pretty certain that this is the surgeon i'm going to use! I love the morphed photos, except I still wish my nose could be a littttle smaller. Is this possible?

So 6 months have gone by, I've been to 4 different consultations, and I think I found the one! The surgeon anyway. This one is probably the best doctor that I've ever encountered so far. I love love love my digital imaging but, it still isn't quite as small as I would like. So maybe I just wasn't mean to have a tiny button nose? I do have a very strong nose now so getting it down to the size of kendall jenners might not be a good idea. Lol. I wouldn't mind getting another rhinoplasty later on in life, but for the price im paying that is such a pain. any comments??

I really want to go through with my rhinoplasty. Even though I am not 100% satisfied with the before and after simulation, I really just want to go ahead with it anyway. I'm tired of this nose and the way I look right now. What is everyone's opinions of the simulation? Its just a simulation right? I mean it might look better in person?

Simulations just get you excited about the procedure, in real life it doesnt always turn out that way. Im speaking from personal experience

I wouldn't put too much into a morph. Some Dr's aren't good at the software & it is just a tool after all. It is good that you have pictures that show your aesthetic. It will help you & your Dr. get on the same page at least. It is honest of your Dr. to tell you what he thinks he can achieve, all the more reason to seek out other consultations. If you are willing to travel to New Orleans I can recommend my Dr., Jon Perenack. He is a member here on Real Self. He is in the price range that you want for a primary. If you have a deviated septum, your insurance usually pays for that portion of your surgery, however most Dr.'s want their money up front. You will then get reimbursed by your insurance.

Although he does not create noses that I personally find exceedingly attractive, I would check out Anil Shah if you want to stay within your budget. He has the experience and does the amount of noses a doctor needs to do in order to maintain at the top of their respective game. I also disagree re: morphs. A very renowned and retired rhino surgeon once told me, "If a doctor can't draw it or morph it they can't do it"… I think that sort of rings true.

I'm going with Dr. Shah out of Chicago. He creates button noses IF YOU ASK. You have to communicate what you want with doctors. The majority of Dr. Shah's clients ask for subtle changes, or modesty to conserve their ethnic background. You're like me. You want something tiny and cute. There are also some surgeons in Florida worth looking into, who are on the less pricey side of the spectrum. You'll want to stay away from Cali and NY as their plastic surgeons are generally overpriced. Go with a doctor who you know you're on the same page with! Please, don't choose one who can't even morph it the way you want!!! Best of luck, sweetie :)

In Miami, Dr. Andres Bustillo and Dr. Jon Harrell are around the $6700 range.

If you come to New Orleans, (a lot closer to you), see Dr. Jon Perenack. He is in the $5000 range or so for a primary. He is a Dr. on real self here and does beautiful noses. He did mine & a lady just recently where he rebuilt her whole bridge. He is more than capable of doing a smaller nose for you. Just tell him what you want & he will do his best to give you what you want.
