WORTH IT$3,400
My nose has been bothering me for many years, so I started to save up to be able to get my rhinoplasty done. That I wanted the rhinoplasty was for sure, but I wasn't sure which doctor to go to. I live in West-Europe and initially wanted to do it in my own country. But after researching I found out that Cindy Jackson her surgeon has his clinic in Zagreb, Croatia. I emailed them my pictures, just curious what they would charge for my rhinoplasty. I got a very detailed email from back and a price that was €2500,-.
The professional approach, together with the fact that Cindy Jackson got her nose done by him, and some good reviews online made me choose Dr. Dinko Toncic. They also offered accommodation and transport. This, together with a mandatory blood test made my final quote come at just over €3000,-. I had some more email correspondence with them and I decided to book the surgery for the 9th of July. I will fly to Zagreb the 8th and leave on the 16th of July to fly back home again.
I decided to have the surgery in my summer break so that I have enough time to heal and look decent when university starts again.
So far the correspondence with Dr Toncic his clinic has been very good, I can ask every question that comes to mind and I will have a detailed answer within 1-2 days, or sometimes even the same day.
I will update more once I am close to my surgery date and after I had my procedure done.

Very exciting! Thanks so much for starting your story on RealSelf. Here's a list of pre- and post-op tips for you. Please keep us posted on how it all goes!

I didn't realize Cindy Jackson had another revision to update her nose, that's great. Looks like she got rid of the scooped 80's Barbie look. I read her book long ago where she names her surgeons, her previous nose ("barbie") was a UK surgeon and she seemed very happy. Good luck to you, I think you have a GREAT face, please be conservative & don't go too small IMHO it would be feminizing or androgynous on your face. There are many men who are surprised after rhino to miss their nose humps and larger nostrils, features they disliked before but strongly miss if the primary surgeon over-does it, very difficult to reverse. Or some men realize with age when their face matures and fills out, or if they go for chin augmentation later, they like a larger nose (especially if they are tall).

Yeah, she had her third rhinoplasty somewhere 2014 if I am correct, to get a ''kate/ angelina'' nose. (more straight I think) I think it looks good on her. She also stated that this was her last one. Given she was so happy with his work and the work and reviews I saw I decided to go with him too.
My surgeon said he wanted to make my side profile straight, no ski-slope, and he wants to make my nose fit my face, so I trust it won't be too small :) I'll definitely upload pictures once I got my surgery!!

Hi. I read your post about the piece of cartiledge in your nostril - how are things going at this point? I hope you are doing well.

Actually I hear Mr Glusac is fantastic- just had a friend get rhinoplasty by him and the results are amazing, as is his care and credentials. So on that note I will be heading over to Croatia next summer to have 'what she's having'!

well, I am happy for you and that you got a great nose. I wish I could say the same about my own rhinoplasty, I pretty much wanted the kind of nose you have know, a defined tip and a slightly curved in bridge. My doctor didn't listen to me, he just listen'd to himself.

I am really sorry to hear that. My nose is straight from the side, but my doctor told me a slight curve from a 3/4th perspective (like I wanted) also has to do with the position of the radix.

Nerves
Even though it is still weeks before my surgery I have had some nervous moments, I have moments I doubt if I went with the good surgeon and worrying about the outcome. But I re-assured myself I did good research and will be in good hands. My surgeon said he will make my nose smaller, make it straight and slightly narrow the tip so my nose will fit my face well. When I'm not nervous I am looking forward to my surgery day allot and can't wait for me to be done.
