I've been wanting to get rhinoplasty for a long time. I don't like the width of my bridge, I want my nostrils taken in and I don't like how wide my nose gets wide when I smile. Naturally when you go to multiple consultations, you're going to get the opinion of several different doctors. I've been told that the doctor will take in my nostrils with a small incision at both lower corners of my nose. Some want to slightly raise my tip. While others suggest not touching the tip at all. Other doctors have suggested making a full incision around the nostrils to help the nostrils from flaring and getting wide when I smile. I've had one physicians suggest placing graphs to fill the indentations near the tip of my nose.

I'm not sure what to rate. I'm just beginning my journey. I have this memory when I was 20 yrs old of these girls making fun of my nose and ever since it's made me feel self-conscious. Fast forward 15 years and my nose is something that I focus on. I don't have a big nose or a bump, I'm more concerned about narrowing my bridge and bringing in my nostrils and, I don't like how wide my nose gets when I smile. I've met with several Drs and they have all said I would benefit from rhinoplasty. One Doctor did morphed photos and it DIDN'T look like anything was done! A few weeks ago I met with Dr G and the first thing he said was don't touch your nose. I was thrown off and felt nervous during my consult. On the contrary, he listened as I told him what I disliked. I told him I wanted a more feminine look. He responded, you look feminine. We talked about narrowing my bridge and taking in my nostrils, he advised me that he could not guarantee that my nose would not widen when I smile as that was due to facial muscles. He did say that I have a narrow tip and narrowing my bridge and nostrils would make it look nice. I'm scheduled to have surgery with Dr G April 26th and I'm excited but REALLY nervous. I admire his honesty, and I guess what bothers me, is I'm not sure he believes I need rhinoplasty. I've researched rhinoplasty and it seems most people end up getting a revision. This is something I've wanted for a long time but I'm nervous I'm going to regret it, or I'll pay the money and not notice any changes. I've read some patient reviews where Dr did exactly what they wanted but they still regret it. Some go through depression. Are these feeling all normal? Also, I have several trip planned for the end of May and summer. Will I look ok by then?

I wouldn’t go with Dr. G I had a consultation with him I would pretty much chose a handful of drs before going with him. For the small work that you say you need done I would consider someone conservative and very good at what they do like dr Richard zoulman or dr. Kian Karimi who can show you on a screen what they can and can not do. I don’t think you should ever need a revision unless you have a severe case. Also I would recommend resting and not flying for at least a month and a half after but you’ll be fine you will heal pretty quick.

Thank your input. I went ahead and saw Dr Kramer. Such a nice man. I'm going to have rhinoplasty with Dr kramini. Did you have surgery with him? I'm a little concerned that none of the reviews have photos. It seems strange and I don't want to claim them to be fake but it seems odd.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I saw Dr Karimi yesterday. Best consult! I feel extremely comfortable. However he's quoting $15,000 which seems extreme.

Dr. Karimi is the absolute best. i am exactly a year post opp from my rhino and im obsessed seriously your surgery with him is a breeze its almost unreal how cool calm collected and just precise he is about everything recovery included.

That's really great news. I'm scheduled to have surgery Dec 5th. I'm so excited and scared all at the same time. Do you have before you photos you can share?

Can you post a before pic of your nose? Maybe I can give some advice. Just got mine done by him and its AMAZING what he did to me. Yes he’s short when he talks to you but who cares. He’s the best at doing noses and that’s what matters the most
