WORTH IT$3,600
I have been longing a nose job for 10+ years. The doctors in the US are way to expensive for me so I have been doing extensive research and decided I will be going to Colombia to get it done. I sent him my photos and he will be sending me a stimulation so that I can see how I will look after surgery.

Confused!
So I have been receiving lots of emails! Today I got an email from
another excellent surgeon in Colombia named Rito A. Mariño Diaz . He also specializes in Rhinoplasty and quoted me 7millones in US dollars that's about $3600!! So now I am stuck between Escobar and him..
On another note dr escobar sent me my simulation photos and also told me I would benefit from chin lipo and chin augmentation to better my profile and in total with the Rhinoplasty that would be $5500 US Dollars. I will post my simulation pictures.. Honest opinions are welcomed!

I think the chip lipo and augmentation really changes your profile a lot!! and in a good way. You should def. consider it. Like I said before, I think the doctor is overcharging you too much. You can ask anybody from Colombia. There are other great surgeons, you should look more into it. You can tell them what is it that you want.

Thank you!!! I am def considering it and have emailed a lot of surgeons but it is really hard for me to get any information because I don't live in Colombia :(. The other surgeons that have replied as soon as I tell them about the chin augmentation and chin lipo they add an extra 3K in us dollars! I had doctor Rito Mariño give me a quote of $3600 for the nose job and then when I told him about the chin aug and lipo he told me oh that's an extra $3K. Some other doctor quoted me $7200 just for the surgery which is almost the same price in the US when I add in flight , hotel and etc., The surgeons that have given me the cheaper quote are excellent in lipo and breast aug but DONOT specialize in rhinoplasty based on the reviews that I read online in different forums. I would love to pay a cheaper price but only if I am guaranteed excellent results because I wouldn't like to come back looking worst :( . I wish prices in the US weren't so expensive so I wouldn't have to travel but I can'tafford the prices here.

few more surgeons :-) My advise is to contact as many as you can. I did that. I think I got about 20 quotes (not lying)

Linita! Doctor Mendoza quoted me 3.620.000 millones for the rhinoplasty and all surgery related cost!! That's an excellent price! When he replied back to me I didn't feel like his main emphasis was the money, he didn't give me a price quote until I asked. Also he gave me advice on what I should do to bring out my facial features but still look natural. He didn't mention the chin aug and lipo but I emailed him back and asked him what his opinion is if I did that. Waiting for him to reply back. Fingers crossed :) once again thank you for your help :)

New Quote different surgeon
Today I received a quote from a plastic surgeon who specializes in facial surgeries his name is Dr. Alfredo Mendoza in cartagena Colombia. Loved what he told me and he didn't seem money hungry. He quoted me $6.520.000 million in Colombian pesos for Rhinoplasty, chin aug and chin lipo which is about $3500 us dollars. His price includes all cost associated with the surgery, medications, medical exams etc., was on his website and his work looks very good too.
