Getting Serious About Getting This Done - NY

I read some reviews which made me unsure. I think more than anything, I just can't seem to find a surgeon in the nY/NJ area who would deliver the kind of nose I want. The true ethnic rhino experts seem to all be in Beverly Hills and it's astounding how I havent found the same results in before after pics.

I am going to book a skype consult because I have to head out to California for work this summer and I figure, or at least hope, that I can manage to squeeze in a rhinoplasty and post op vacay there.

I have also learned that i really do not care about side profile views. It seems like everyone knows how to shave a bump not that I even care about my little bump. What bothers me the most is the large tip and wide nostrils and I want all those nasty redundant cartilages in the bottom of the nose taken care of and reduced. Also, I know this might sound weird but aesthetically, I want my nose to be smaller than my mouth in width. I truly dislike the ratio of nostril base to lip and I love my lips and want to enhance them as well as my eyes by first reducing this grosslly big schnoz.

Also, can an admin please delete the doctor I have chosen here. I only went to a consult and never booked a surgery as I am still shopping around. thanks!

Ah so I finally feel like I have clear direction. I went to my appointment for a consultation with Dr. C and really, it was fantastic. I like how he pointed out everything that I was going to say before I even said it, so much that as I was going through my extensive 2 page questions and diagram (yes, I drew a diagram of my nose lol), I noticed that he'd already answered it all! One thing he did mention was that profile-wise, my columella is really short and bc of that, it'll be a limiting step in achieving an upturned tip. That's fine by me, however, and I saw so many photos of his patients and a few whose noses were like mine.

I really never had such a fun consultation and not only was I at ease, he was very informative esp since I'm really interested in plastic surgery so I appreciated it a lot. I am going to be going away to europe for winter break but want to book it for either last week of january or first of february. I'm so excited!

Update: I am finally headed upstate to White Plains early tomorrow for a consult with Dr. Ciardullo. I have two other surgeons who I'd definitely consider so I will see how the consultation goes with him, compare work/price quote, how soon scheduling etc and hopefully make my choice by this weekend! I'm excited. And I just added a photo (yes sorry my eyes are blacked out and demonic looking lol) and it just bothers me so much how droopy the tip is and how wide the nose is when I smile :( It makes me so self conscious =/
