New Nose is an A+ - Stanford, CA

So the other day I'm looking up this product online, comparing before and afters and thinking to myself that it's kind of annoying when people post a review and only TWO photos to make a measly before and after. 'How lazy' I lament to myself. You really need different angles, lighting, etc to get a comprehensive idea of what you're looking at. Who does that?

Wait, didn't I do the same exact thing that one time when I wrote my rhinoplasty review? Yeah I think I did. Alright. So back I am to aid those wide/bumpy/hump-nosed Bay Areans in search of a good rhinoplasty doctor. I hope my pictures will be helpful to you.

I apologize that I had to partially photoshop my face for anonymity (the blotted out eyes look pretty damn creepy don't they?). I really don't care if anyone knows I've had work done, but as my sibling doesn't know, I was made to promise by my mom that I wouldn't tell anyone else before them. I don't think said sibling would have a good reaction, so it looks like I may be taking this one to the grave. I know I don't want children either, so there won't be any progeny around to suggest mommy's had work done (my significant other will know).


SOCIAL LIFE
I'll be honest, looking prettier really does make you feel more confident and worthy. Yes, it's a shame that attractiveness dominates the far superior qualities of intelligence and kindness, but that's the way the world is right now, and the way people act towards you, especially girls, reflects that mindset that you're only worthy if some loser over the internet looking at your picture wants to bang you or not (see the hypercritical comment section of any celebrity-wearing-a-bikini blog posting).

The great thing about plastic surgery, is that a lot of times, you get something done and everyone thinks you look great all of a sudden but have no idea why. I remember at the first family wedding I went to after my operation, I had been so used to my nose that I forgot that 40+ relatives would be seeing me for the time since. Apart from some standard dressy-occasion comments exchanged about looking good, no one really said much to me. The next day, my mom who was mingling way more than I was said that a bunch of relatives had come up to her and said how beautiful I looked. And I never get those comments. As a kiddo, all compliments were strictly personality centric (whenever my mom relayed a comment back to me from someone, it was either about how mature I am- I hope so! I was quite the little analyzing introvert- or 'I loved her thank you note, what a nice little writer she is').

At my age, I know positive personality comments mean so much more than being told you're pretty. But on an evolutionary level, it's nice to hear. It's like being told
'your comprehensive body mass index, healthy skin, and symmetrical facial features seem to suggest that you'll spawn some healthy babies who will grow up to reproduce exponentially and guarantee your DNAs presence in the world gene pool. Beauty indicates health and health is the key to survival. The point of evolution is to survive- which you did. So congratulations, you have won life. Everyone else can take a seat.'

I don't know if I've just become more outgoing since starting college, but boys seem a lot more interested. Walking around campus, I have actually had guys come up to me, introduce themselves and ask for my number. This doesn't happen every week obviously, but it certainly never happened before.
Let me make this clear so that I don't sound obnoxious and full of it: I'm average now with some better days peppered in every once in a while. No guy's going to approach someone completely unattractive or a really stunning girl just walking about.

My point is that a little tweaking can go a long way. I wanted this for me, and myself alone, but you might find yourself suprised when the opposite sex is striking up conversations with you in class a lot more than you remember or some random guy you're passing on the way to class says 'hi, how are you?'

I want to sum up by saying that if you want this, do it. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks but you because it's your money, your body, and your business. Chances are, people are going to see that you look better but won't know why. My nose has practically shrunk a half inch but no one is any the wiser. The first time this girl from church saw me post-op, she told me very enthusiastically that I looked pretty, she loved my hair, and I should wear it like that more often (I let it curl a little more than usual, that's it). But I'm glad you like my new nose.
