Hello everyone..
Been a while since ive been here. Im currently in the process of saving up for surgery....
If you had surgery, did you save up all the funds before, or did you find another arrangment?
I am a student, and not from us, so i dont qualify for any loan... =(
Does anyone know any options i have other than saving it all before ( doing now, wont be able to have surgery before next summer.. )

Hi everyone!
Havent been here in a while, all spring i was super busy with my exams and now work..
I saw some of you that started this journey same time as i did already had surgery, with dr g, and other surgeons.( you look great, so excited for your results).
My parents were supposed to pay for surgery, but took a 360 change and are very much against me having rhinoplasty.. they think that it is foolish of me.. I myself know how much it will improve my outside, and hence how i feel ( inside).
SO now i have summer job to save up for surgery.. but i think i will not reach the sum i need before next summer.
How did you all do this? did you save all the money before having surgery?

Hello everyone. Thank you for all your lovely cmments and helpful advice.
I have now decided to how surgery, but I have my mind set on having it in th US, while i live in Europe. This means that i do not have the possibility to visit each doctors and consult, but I will only email them my ppictures, and trust reviews here on realself. I am super super chicken aboout touching my face, and I will not have anyone ruin my looks therefore i want the best only. Does anyone here have experience from being an out of town patient? How did you manage to get a REAL impression of th doctor from emails and reviews. How did you proceed in th process, and all the practical stuff? I am aiming at surgery either in july or august. Have a lovely day!!

This surgery is all about risk vs reward in my opinion. If you have a lot to gain from it, then the decision is really easy. I can't really imagine you changing your nose in a way that you are going to gain anything significant. On the other hand, you have a lottttttttttttttttttttt to lose if the surgery does not go how you want it. You are already pretty, and your nose suits your face just fine. Just doesn't seem like a gamble worth taking. However, if you choose to go through with it, then I am sure you will have the support of everyone here. The best thing about this procedure is that we can all really relate to how it affects one another on a daily basis, and we all understand the desire to change. Best of luck, and I look forward to following your journey!

I think your natural nose is perfect! I believe sometimes we have altered perception of ourselves because we are human. We are naturally going to see ourselves more harshly then others. I honestly don't think you need it done and if you do get it done and it turns out to be something you don't like your kind of stuck. I nose to me had a huge noticeable hump but when I went back to work I had to show people my side by side for them to even realize my nose had changed that much. Do I regret my surgery deffinately not! However I believe yours fits your face. A small nose would probably put your face out of balance. Now if your absolutely set on it and no one can change your mind no matter what they say. Bc that's how I was then make sure you do your research. I had everyonr tell me i didnt need it there was nothing wrong with it blsh blah blah lol! My doctor does out of town patients.

My surgeon has an office in indianapolis, indiana and one is Santa Rosa, California.

My surgeon was Dr. Grigoryants in Glendale, California. I think he is fantastic and recommend him without reservation. But he's getting a lot of exposure online, on TV, etc., so I would imagine that one day he will be really expensive. right now though, he is affordable, down-to-earth, and reasonably available despite being in high demand. I see you've gotten lots of advice from other commenters. Usually I have a definite opinion about noses, but in your case, I honestly don't. It's sort of like... could it be more refined? Sure. Is it nice the way it is? Absolutely. Only you can decide if it's worth the risk. I'm sure Dr. G will give you an honest professional opinion as well. He told me he doesn't take patients unless he is sure he can offer them improvement. Just email him, and he'll respond, telling you how to proceed in the process. He generally responds the same day. Good luck.

I looked at your pics again, and I would say that if you are seeking society's ideal of beauty, then sure, a chin implant plus the slightest refinement of your nose would help you reach your goal. I guess the only argument against that is whether or not losing your distinctiveness, in trying to reach a quite common ideal is worth it. Personally, I think being pretty, authentic, and memorable is sexier than having a fairly common beauty that can be bought. But we're all different, and I wish you luck in your decision making.
