So, right now I'm looking for a rhinoplasty...

woahemAugust 31, 2014

$7,000

So, right now I'm looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon. I'm 17 and currently working two jobs to save up for this nose job. I wouldn't go under 5,000 but I don't want to go over 8,000. I wouldn't mind going over 8,000 if I can save up enough money by next year or if I get it done nearby. I live in Alabama, but I am expecting to travel to get it done. I've been thinking about Grigoryants but I think he goes over 8,000? I heard he gives a student discount though and I will be getting it done the summer before I go to college so maybe I would be eligible? Please comment below if you have any suggestions because I really don't know of many rhinoplasty surgeon and the internet is flooded with them. Don't know where to start.

I like your nose but what's important is that you like it. Rhinoplasty is a gamble so please do a lot of research and don't rush into anything until you're sure that your surgeon and yourself are on the same page and that he is as qualified as he/she claims to be. Good luck to you.

Thank you! (: My nose has always bothered me and I'm sure always will unless I get it done. I am doing my best to find the right doctor and I was so sure on Grigoryants until I found a message board on make me heal where he was making fake accounts, pretending to be his own patients. Still love his work tho, just more skeptical now because of this forum http://messageboards.makemeheal.com/rhinoplasty/guida-pearlman-someone-else-t166120-30.html#p1272520&sid=371694f3c923f0eb54c22979afda8d5a

Yes, I've seen that before...such a shame. Personally, his style would not work for my taste & face and I am in no way defending his actions but it is my belief that he really does have a lot of happy patients. Some other well known doctors are Davis, Frankel, and Cochran. Although, Frankel may exceed your 8K limit. Sometimes its not as important to get one of the best doctors but to get one that understands exactly what you want to achieve and is in agreement that he can deliver those results. This is why trusting your surgeon is so important. Good luck...take your time. You really want to get this right the first time. You really are a pretty girl already though.

Thank you very much! I like the look of a nose with a little bit of a slope and thin. I well definitely take my time. Won't be getting it for about a year! Thanks again.

You are a gorgeous gorgeous girl! I don't even see what's wrong with it.

Aw thanks hun! (: But it's mainly the profile of the nose and the front has a really wide bridge at some angles. I will post more pics to show. You're absolutely stunning by the way!

Thanks so much. That's really sweet! But it bothers me every time I go out in public and I am really wanting a slope badly.

You have a beautiful nose already. Don't mess with it. Look at all the unhappy rhinoplasty patients who have a bad outcome and you are already starting out with a beautiful nose IMO.

I personaly think your nose is nicely geometric. The tipe of your nose is pointy and a lil upward which makes it unusual but very attractive, it also fits with your face. Your nose is what i'll expect from a well accomplished rhinoplasty. If you still decide to get a rhinoplasty make sure you get it done with your own cartilage instead of a fake bone, in order to get a more natural appearance. For the student discount i have no idea sorry, i recently did a rhinoplasty and I'm 17 too, although my surgeon fully charged me for the cosmetic part. Plus i think you're beautiful please don't do a rhinoplasty, i've never seen you in real life and i already have a crush on u x) contact me if you have any questions regarding recovery or other point you may want to go over, I'll be delighted to help you :) Cheers, Mauricio L.

More photos. And I really like Dr. Richard Davis before and after photos! I don't know about his pricing though? Any one have any experience with him?

Honestly I only see a perfect nose. Where's the bump?

woahem

August 31, 2014

Aw thanks! And I'm not sure if it's a bump or just a really high bridge. I think my problem is just a high bridge, but I really hate it.

Honey, your before looks like a perfect after! You are already so beautiful! Please reconsider going through with a surgery. Rhinoplasty is SO unpredictable. Just enjoy your youth and beauty: )

August 31, 2014

Wow, thank you so much!! (: I just think my bridge is really too tall and a little too wide from the front. I am scared of the surgeon messing it up whenever I get it done. But I hate going out in public or hanging out with friends because I'm too insecure of my nose. I've been wanting this done since about 7th grade and haven't been able to get it off my mind. Even if only I can tell the difference when I get it done, it will be so worth it if it can boost my confidence. Thank you again hun. (:

Do all surgeons have fake reviews?

woahemAugust 31, 2014

Almost every surgeon I was really interested in turned out to have some fake reviews. There were some really positive real reviews about them and no bad ones (which might be from them like blocking them or something?) The fake reviews really makes me weary of them though. I don't think a trustworthy surgeon would do that, but all the ones I was interested in have done it! Mainly dr. grigroyants which has AMAZING B/A and is exactly what I'm looking for (besides the price is a little high but worth it as long as I can save up enough) Should I still have him as my number one pick even if there were some fake reviews by him on the Make Me Heal message boards??

I'm also 17 and I've had my nose done less than two weeks ago and people also said I didn't need it, but I wanted it so if you really dislike your nose you should do it. It's your life and your choice, but to be honest, you are the first person on this website who doesn't need it! Kisses from The Netherlands

Aw thanks so much doll! (: It's something I have set my mind to and I will live the rest of my life insecure if I don't get it fixed. You understand though I'm sure! Did your rhinoplasty turn out well?

Tamara1996

I know exactly what you mean! I felt the same way for 5 years and I'm happier now than ever. It turned out well, I expected it to be a bit smaller but no nose is perfect and i'm just glad the bump is gone and it's not so wide anymore. I got it covered by insurance because of my breathing problems and otherwise I would never be able to afford it. So if that's your case, just try to get it covered instead of working that much! I don't know if that's possible in the US, like here in The Netherlands, but because it was making me so depressed they covered it. I wish you the best of luck!

Just out of curiosity how do you know the review about Dr. G is fake?

woahem

September 1, 2014

The moderator on the forum had to shut down like 11 accounts because they all came from Dr. G's IP address. Nontheless I think his results are almost always amazing and he is still my number one pick.
