I am definitely seeking a rhinoplasty as I feel like this is the one surgery that I 'need' because it will make a huge difference in how I look. That said, I want this 'difference' to be a good one. I really want: redundant cartilages in tip/base to be REDUCED and my base width/alars made smaller!

We are in the same boat! Neither I have a problem with my profile ,I just hate the front look cause the tip is way to bulbous and the bridge is too wide :( Most of the doctors I've seen have photos of profile noses before and after ...also let me tell you that you are very beautiful and Im sure the surgery will change your whole look ,in a better way :) I hope you find a good surgeon and keep us updated xoxox

ah you are beautiful too! and I know how difficult it is when browsing galleries and seeing just profile shots -_- actually I've seen photos of girls who start with skinny noses (but with a bump) and after the bump is shaved and their profile is fixed, it almost always changes their front and makes their front look even bigger -- can you believe that?!?!

hahah i swear I've noticed that! At least these girls fix their profile ,in our case it would be terrible cause we would end up with a bigger nose than what we have! Thats why I think we are gonna have such a bigg problem on finding the right surgeon :( have you checked Dr Grigoryants page? Ive seen some amazing results there

No ,carecredit doesnt exist in my country :(...well i could choose a surgeon from my country and the cost would be like 3000-4000 euro but i know i wont like the result. They wont fix my front im sure..ive seen some photos after surgey here where the front looked worst after surgery...i think Im gonna wait some time and choose the best doctor so i can be happy with the result :(

If you do decide to go for a rhinoplasty, choosing the right doctor is probably your most important job. Here's a list of questions to ask prospective surgeons.

Please keep us posted throughout your journey!

any recommendations for surgeons who do stellar frontal work?

mimixoxoJune 16, 2013
please see my photos attached. the last one shows how I want my nose less wide as it goes past where my eyes begin. Ideally I want my nose to be less wide than my lips, I feel like the lip-nose width ratio is throwing off my face right now and also if you see how redundant the cartilages at the very tip are, it bothers me because it looks like a BLOB on my face? Also, I don't want to look any less 'ethnic'

how much smaller can it get?

mimixoxoJune 16, 2013
I was wondering if anyone knows of a nose becoming too small post op? I'd love a result like lana del rey's rhinoplasty result. Admittedly, her nose does look slightly done, but it looks so beautiful and tiny. This is her pic.
