Omg I've been contemplating this for 4 years now...

Omg I've been contemplating this for 4 years now I'm ready. I don't have a huge nose nor has it ever been discussed or made fun of. It is actually a typical size nose when I'm not smiling however when I smile it creates very deep laugh lines and even makes my bags under my eyes which by the way I had remove look larger than normal. It also spreads when I laugh it is very annoying so therefore when I take pictures I never show my teeth I can simply smile with my eyes or a slight grin which defeats the purpose of the dimples that I paid for. So I research doctors in the one I found that I absolutely positively love was in Beverly Hills California he was the one who said that not only did I need a nose job but also I needed a chin implant as well as cheek fillers this would better Define my face and give me more of a girly female type look instead of my current masculine look. However the problem with that is is that he was all the way in Beverly Hills California and I am all the way in Charlotte North Carolina and to top it off he wanted $17,000 that I could not afford being a single mom. So I decided I would save my money and wait well four years later I still don't have the $17,000 mainly because I really wanted this nice BMW LOL LOL. So I'll be 35 next year and I decided that by my 35th birthday I wanted my entire face done so I am saving $2,000 a month and I am getting my face done I have two doctors and my one is dr. Choe who is located in Virginia he's 5 hours away and that's scary for me because no one knows that I'm getting this done and I am going by myself I will have to get a nurse to Stay With Me the first 24 hours and of course I would have to pay for her and then I would have to stay there for an additional 7 Days the problem with that is that I have a child and I need someone to be here with her so I don't think that's the best solution for me my next option is a doctor here in Charlotte North Carolina I have two appointments one in Ballantyne with the dr. Lisker and the other is in Charlotte with dr. Kushner I see them the last week in November in the first week of December after seeing both of those doctors I'll make my mind up as to which doctor I should go to my only problem with dr. Lisker thus far is that he is not a facial plastic surgeon and I prefer a facial plastic surgeon because that's their specialty and if I'm going to get anything done to my face I want to go to the best my only problem with dr. Kushner is that he starts off his rhinoplasty that $10,000 that does not include my chin and my cheeks and I'm not sure if I can honestly say for that however anything good is worth waiting for it so if I have to push my surgery date out until January then I will and also dr. Kushner the surgery only 8 weeks after you have your initial consultation which means that I cannot have surgery regardless until January which is fine because my 35th birthday is not until April anyway so I will keep you guys posted on how it goes with both doctors in the cost because I notice I rarely see anyone mention cost on the site which is like so beneficial for me

Good luck to you!! You should always go with the best doctors especially regarding your nose... I have read that there's so many issues concerning a nose job that can go wrong. I'm early on stage but I hope my nose keeps doing as good as it has been.

what made you choose those doctors?

I saw his work on RealSelf and when I went to his website I notice every nose was different which indicates he is not taking a "cookie cutter" approach (one nose fits all or a signature look). I want a customized nose to my particular facial features.

I definitely would recommend that you take someone with you, whether you are traveling for your surgery or not. Truth is, ANYTHING can happen on that surgery table so a friend or family member definitely should be with you or at least know your whereabouts.
I wouldnt go to any surgeon who doesn't specialize in facial surgery, and definitely wouldn't go to someone who isn't familiar with operating on ethnic noses.
If your new nose is going to turn out like that digital image you posted, RUN FOR THE HILLS!! That's the typical "botched" black nose...pinched, caved in and imbalanced. Do extensive research on your surgeon before committing to them. Good luck!!!

Thanks and I have 2 friends coming, I am not telling my family. Also he is a celebrity facial triple board certified surgeon so I've done extensive research as well as compared his work with some of the top surgeons along with his education to ensure not only the skill set is correct but also the knowledge.
Also it is not a nose for the 100th time, I see I need to take the pic down it is only coloring. lol lol everyone think its a nose however its not. Also I've been researching this for 3 years I've done my due diligence. He offers free revisions if needed I've getting a gortex custom made implant. I stressed the importance of my nostrils them being asymmetric and the button (bulbous) of my nose. No need to run when you have seen his work in the office of other noses similar to yours and was referred by several patients.
Thanks for your concern and I cant wait to show everyone my after pics 6 days away.

Hey! How have you been recovering? I too, want a nose job bad!! Dr.'s here in a Dubai have refused to touch me so I need to go somewhere where they don't think something is wrong with my head and can give me a smaller version. Can't wait to see your posts!

They say nothing is wrong with it, it goes with my face (which I also want a slimmer more sculpted look) and nicely say I may need some psychiatric evaluation (smart ass remarks) which I clearly don't.
I'm in no way Doing this for any other reason but would just like a subtle change. I told the doctors I had realistic expectations and only wanted a smaller, slimmer version of the same nose I have! Same thing I get when I contour my nose but just won't have to do it with make up. 3 dr's have said this already, all coming from different countries, ages and backgrounds. Just leaves me annoyed because if someone can get the hump taken out of their nose and nostrils smaller, why can't I have a smaller nose?? I'm clearly going to have to try another country.
Thanks for starting your review, I look forward to following your journey!
Here's a list of supplies you might want to consider for your recovery. Have you checked in here yet? It's a great place to connect with others preparing for their big day. Good luck!
You're most welcome!
