I have always dreamt of having a more symetric proportionate face. I am not unhappy with my apperance as a whole. However I feel that i have been gifted with the potential of being much more beautiful than I am, and since this is something which is so important to me, why shouldnt I be the best I can possibly be?
I think i have been considering surgery for ten years now. I have a sort of cleopatra-ish nose. Very straight and long,and dominant. I am not quite sure how to make it look better the bigness and longness, without breaking it, because i dont have any lumps to remove. its just too long and big . My front is quite sharp, but a bit too full. I feel I would look much better if I could get a thinner tip on my nose. I also want a chin implant.
For me, I only want the best artist to touch my face, and i am not concerned about the cost. Most likely I will go to the US, whereever I can find the best doctor. I have been researching so much online, and found some quite reputed. Like Dr. Raj Kanodia. However then I find really bad reviews on them as well.. SO im very unsure about what to do. and im afraid to also ruin my apperance if it will not go well...

So now my post is up and running.. I would really appreciate any advice on how to choose the best surgeon for me, as many others, i am terrified to have the wrong do it.. What do you think? Would I be a good candidate? And if anyone knows where i can get those pictures where you can see how it might look after surgery.

Have you considered Dr. Grygoryants in Ca? He is very very good! I am considering him myself. :)

i just saw his site! wow he seems really good! do you know about the cost he charges?
February 27, 2013
I found him from this site. I have followed a few of his patients on here too that have all had fantastic results. His office told me it starts at $7400-7500 something like that. He is located in Glendale Ca. He has a couple videos on You Tube you can check out too. I would go to him without question but he is a bit far for me. I am thinking about Dr. Clutter in Sacremento Ca. He doesn't have a website with before and after pics but there are a couple girls on here that have some pics up. I have a consult with him soon. He has supposedly done around 5000 rhinos and has I think 25+ years experience. So maybe check him out too. ;)

If i lived in cali there is no question that dr grigoryantis is the way to go!!! His work is amazing and he has plenty of pics to back it up!!! He is great with reducing both the profile and nose bulbousness. I find most doctors are mainly good with acheiving a nice profile but suck at reducinbg the size of the front of the nose!! Good luck!!!

I also wanted to tell you about Dr. Daniel. http://www.drrollindaniel.com/
He is very good as well and the surgeon in my home town referred me to him because he is a specialists in Rhinoplasty. But again, he is too far for me. He has fantastic before and afters on his site as well.
Also....if you have a smart phone I just got the Dr. Nassif app ( it has a nose simulator on it) I don't actually really like Dr. Nassif though haha. but the app is what I used for my own simulation pics on my profile. ;) I know you can go online and do it too though.

Are you limiting yourself to the US or would you be willing to look at surgeons in Canada as well? My surgeon, Dr. Thomas Bounassisi, is absolutely amazing and has one of the best reputations as a nose specialist in Vancouver. He's an artist and has both a natural talent and a passion for what he does. I just got my cast off today and I couldn't be happier :)
February 27, 2013
I am willing to travel for the best ! =) I looked at your pictures, and wow how great you look! What a skilled artist indeed. thank yu so much for reccomending
February 27, 2013
Honestly I just feel like you have such a beautiful face so I'd say not to mess it or go with any surgeon who'd give you a short nose. But there was this one review that I saw that really finessed this one girl's nose. Umm..I think his name was Dr. Vladimir Grigoryants (Just googled it). I'll try to look for the link of this one's girl's review. But honestly...I think your face is just beautiful as is!

This girl! I think her results gave her such a nice look! I dont know if you'll agree but yeah. It still kept an exotic look to her but it gave her such a beautiful nose
February 27, 2013
Thank you so much, I saw the post op results on that girl, and i reallly like his work. I agree with you, its important to keep the exotic look

Ok, so I have been getting a lot of comments from sweet people here that i dont need surgery and that i look fine just the way I am. Thank you so much for saying such nice things, i really appreciate it. However.. i might have not posted representable enough pictures so now i have posted proper profile views where one can see how long and prominent my nose really is compared to the rest of my face. Is it possible to make my nose shorter?

To be honest i was really shocked when i saw your photos. Your nose is perfect how it is, most women have rhinoplasty to get a nose like yours now, it's in proportion with the rest of your face -and your chin's fine too! But you're an adult and there's not really a lot a complete stranger can say if you have your mind set on surgery. I would recommend having a look at the reviews on RS and finding a few surgeons with the best credentials -a rhinoplasty specialist with lots of experience. Meet as many as you can, they should make a morphed image for you. You can always have a go at making your own morph with photoshop. Good luck and ffs please don't rush into anything! All the best

HI Mathilda, thanks for leaving your advice, I really appreciate it. Have you seen the newst pictures ive posted where you can see more clearly the "problem areas" . Honestly I just want to be more beauitful, and i think i can acheive that with surgery. I dont live in the us, will be traveling for surgery, do you know the best waay to get an impession of the surgeon while communicating from abroad. I still will schedule consultations, but i have to decide beforehand if to go to california, or NY. I want to go where I can find the best one. Ive heard a lot of positive things about dr grigoryants.
February 28, 2013
I still think your nose is great the way it is and I would love to have your now more than mine! haha But I totally understand wanting surgery and you should most definitely do what you think is best for you! Just make sure you do your research on all the doctors you end up being interested in. But I personally think Dr. Grygoryants would do a great job on you. Because he seams to do a lot of noses similar to yours.

Look, I will be very frank. You are a beautiful woman and your nose fits well in your face. It is not a perfect nose (comparing to what is considered a perfect nose) but it is not ugly and actually it is charming, beautiful. I've done a nose job and my nose, as yours, was not ugly, it just wasn't perfect. I regret so much cause it changed my face and I feel so insecure. Please, think very weel, think if you really want to change your nose, and how would you deal with it after the surgery was done.
March 2, 2013
Thank you Maria for sharing your story and advice. How do you look after surgery? and what surgeon did you select? To be honest, i just dont feel beauitful enough, and i want to be beautiful.
March 2, 2013
What do you mean with look after? You're talking about my appearence or is this an expression?I'm brazilian and selected a very famous brazilian surgeon. I saw many pictures of her work but with me, it didn't work. I was like you, although everybody used to say I was beautiful I didn't feel beautiful enough, and now, I look at my before pictures and see how beautiful I was. It's just like we sometimes don't see ourselves as we really are. I guess if you want just to make your nose shorter, and once you are really secure with that is not something difficult, but please, talk with your surgeon that you want to keep the shape of the nouse as more natural as it is possible. If you eant to talk more with me, you can send me a message inbox and I may give you my e-mail.

I think that you are trying to convince us that your nose is ugly, and no one is seeing how it is ugly. You keep putting up more pictures to convince us. Your nose looks great in all of them. Its your nose, and you can have surgery on it if you want. I'm not trying to talk you out of surgery. I just want you to know that you already have a gorgeous nose. :o)
March 7, 2013
Thanks for wrting that. I just feel my nose is so prominent and makes me unnatractive. I did take a clear profile of the nose photo today, and as you can see there it is pretty prominant. I just want to be done with feeling insecure because of my nose, and live free, which i know sounds really superficial but thats how i feel. that it limits me.
