Dear All, I'm still deciding about my rhinoplasty...
WORTH IT$16,500
Dear All,
I'm still deciding about my rhinoplasty but very close to decision making. I know my nose is not awful and never been a huge problem but simply I do not like it. It's to big, I think, too wide with a little hump and slightly bulbous tip. I'd love to have small, feminine nose that goes nicely with my face.
I've got the date pencilled in my diary 3 months away from now.
I am very scared especially that quite a few people tells me not to do it.
My doctor has got an excellent reputation and great patient reviews.
I've had my consultation on 23rd July 2016 where I was presented with a computer generated image on my potential results, I do like it.
Reading a lot of your experiences on RealSelf it's still difficult to decide as there are good and bad stories with people being ecstatic about their new noses and some of you absolutely devastated.
My doctor is actually a revision surgeon and the price is high therefore, I'd love to think the outcome will be satisfying for me.
I've got a little bit time to think.

If you come up one hour north of Manhattan and use my doctor he is amazing. Because we are outside the city, the price is less. I paid about $7500 for mine and couldn't be happier. He is a rhinoplasty specialist. If you want his name let me know. I had mine done about 3 weeks ago. He gave me exactly what I wanted.

Thank you for your kind advice but I've already paid 50% for my procedure there's no going back for me otherwise I'll loose my money. The doctor I've chosed is also a rhinoplasty specialist, he's got good results and patient feedback, I'm quite scared as it is, I need to stick with my decision and believe he'll do his best for me.

Great mindset and attitude!! I was scared too but it's so worth it. You'll do great and I'm sure your surgery will be successful!

Hi there, can you give your surgeons name? I live in CT ...might be good to know if I ever find my courage! Many thanks!

Hello, yes of course he's Dr Ramtin Kassir, I chose him as he has got 20yrs of experience and plenty before and after pictures of his website. I do like his work however, I'm yet to find out how good he'll be working on my nose :)
It's a hard decision to make, you need to know how much do you want it. I only told to a handful of people and they all discouraged me from doing it. I'm still proceeding.
Have a good think about it and don't put yourself under any pressure.
Best wishes xx

I had contemplated since I was 17 years old. At 31 I am so happy with mine even after two weeks of surgery. I had Rhinoplasty/ Septoplasty and couldn't be happier. The first couple day after the splint came off it was a little shocking but so amazing.
October 21, 2016
Hi, it's ok. I think it's one of the most important moments when the splint comes off. Did you like your results instantly, despite of swelling?
I've got 2 weeks to wait...3 weeks to see the results...

I did!! It's so emotional once the splint comes off. It took about 3 days from for my mind to fully accept it, especially because as we all know right before surgery your stomach is doing flips. My doctor took it off after a week. Everyday it gets better and better to see the results everyday.

Excuse my double wording I got excited and sent to quickly!
Good luck I'm sure you'all love it!!

I have basically made my mind up.
I'm going to go for it. It'll be either the best decision of my live or revision surgery a year later haha. Will post a picture of my current profile. What I want is smaller nose and tiny chin reduction. Has anyone had chin reduction, how quick is the recovery.

Hey, I am 3 weeks post rhinoplasty and small chin implant. My nose is still swollen, but otherwise recovery was fine. Very little pain, bruising, just I had a lot of tip work (over projected nose and uneven bump at the tip). I'm 37 and wish I had it done years ago...this time I made a decision for myself and didn't tell many people untill it was booked. I had 3 months from booking till op so only told some family. But I told them rather than ask their opinion. It's easy to be talked out of it...but do what you feel is right. Good luck! X

I'm glad you're happy with your choice... I guess the outcome can never be guaranteed.
I hope you were not in pain a lot, I wish mine was already done...waiting is a bit stressful.
I only hope for good result.
Thank you x Enjoy your new lovely nose :)

i thought it was going to be really painful. but no. i took paracetamol and ibuprofen for 3 days. i certainly didn't feel i needed it regularly on day 2 or 3. its more of a stuffy nose feeling.
the waiting? yeh you just want it done. but time will fly and before you know it you will be recovering! x

I'm scheduled (with a different surgeon) on November 1st! AH! Excited! ...lol Good luck to you :)!
Let us know how things went. Good Luck!
That person you know was he or she has the nose done? Do you know what was the problem exactly. I really don't know whom to trust. It is a very difficult choice.
