    Default Do i need to tell anyone that I'm thinking of getting a nose job?

    I've always wanted one. The only person I've ever told was my ex and he told me he didn't think I needed one, that no one pays attention to my nose any way. Never told anyone else because I'm afraid of getting the same response, that I don't need it. I want to tell my mom but she is a huge worrier and I'm afraid she will try to talk me out of it too. I don't have any close friends either that I can talk to about it. So if I decide to do it after my consultation do I really need to talk to anyone about it? I think I have the support I need on here anyway

    Nah you're an adult and it's your face. If it's something you really want done then go for it.

    Plus you probably will get the same response because it"s the socially "proper" one. Nobody is going to say "yeah your nose is kinda jacked up" or whatever lol.

    TELL your mom the day before that way she can't change your mind however you do need an emergency contact so it would be right to tell her you're having surgery in case anything was to go wrong.

    If you truly do not need a nose job most surgeons won't do the surgery. I had to go to 5 different doctors for consult before one would even agree to give me a quote. I still have not done it because it is more of a vanity issue than anything else, so there is that. Ariel is right you need to tell someone so they can be your emergency contact and if you work somewhere where you will be out for awhile during recovery I would give them a heads up. Other than that, its your body and your money and everyone can piss off with their opinions.

    No. because if you do/don't get it you want to make sure it was 100% your decision not the influence of others. Only person you'd tell is the person picking you up/driving you there and probably don't need to go into detail just that youre having a surgery and need a ride

    Default Re: Do i need to tell anyone that I'm thinking of getting a nose job?

    I went for my consultation yesterday. Was so nervous. The surgeon was asking me a lot of questions and then pretty much told me he thinks I'm too obsessive about my nose? He asked me how often do I think about my nose, I didn't know what to say so I told him every day. He said he thinks if I got the surgery I wouldn't be happy and id find something else about myself that I didn't like and become fixated on it. Well, at least he didn't try to pressure me to do the surgery. From all my research he is the only one in my area who only specialises in facial surgery and apparently he's really good. After speaking with him I'm not sure now. He told me my nose is not bad and hes seen much worse and didn't think I should be self conscious about it. Well, I am. It has a bump and I was never happy with it. He said he'd do the surgery but only if I felt I would be truly happy with myself after because he thinks I have other things also going on leading me to feel self conscious about my self. And the fact that I was so nervous makes him think I'm not ready. I told him I'm nervous because this is a huge step for me coming there. Anyway, not sure if he is the right surgeon for me but I feel he might be the only good one in my area. I guess I will wait on this

    Pay attention to the nose doctor. Maybe you should consider some counseling instead.

    I had the same thing happen to me trying to get consults for my nose. I did find a surgeon eventually who agreed to do it (though I haven't had the surgery yet). Can you post a pic of just your nose ? We can give you our opinions.

    I'm so self conscious about my nose, it would be difficult for me to post a pic.. even going to get a consult was hard for me when he was taking pics of it. I felt embarrassed lol
    Did you decide to get yours done?

    Does it strike you as odd you are embarrassed to show your nose, even after a doctor, who could profit from doing surgery on your nosee tells you that you do not need a nose job.?

    He said he understands why I want one, because of the bump, and he said it would look nicer without it, but he has seen a lot worse..
    I don't feel it's odd that I'm embarrassed because I've always been. Maybe I will try to get one more consult and see what they say.

    Is it worth it to spend that much just because you want it?

    If it improves my self esteem then yes it's very worth it. I'm not in a rush though, I will only do it if I feel absolutely sure I want to go through with the surgery
    They said it's not 100% guaranteed I will get the exact result they showed me in the after pic.

    Definitely think about it. I agree you should do things to improve your self-esteem, but just be cautious because plastic surgery isn't a magic bullet. If you are just unhappy with your nose bump I say go for it, but if you are thinking it will completely change your self image, be advised it may not and you could be disappointed that it's not "good enough."

    I did not tell anyone I was thinking about getting a boob job. I did join forums and got a lot of support there. I got the boob job without telling anyone except my boyfriend. Not telling anyone you're thinking about doing it (or doing it) is definitely possible, but people will probably notice afterwards that you had work done. Unless it's a really subtle nose job.

    Oh yeah, and on the day of surgery you will need someone to come with you and drive you home and stay with you during recovery. So you have to tell at least ONE person. Although you could also hire a nurse to drive you and stay with you.

    I ended up getting my breast implants removed, btw. They felt too big; I looked heavier with them. So keep in mind that plastic surgery doesn't always improve the feature's appearance--and nose jobs have a very high rate of revision. I never thought I would be one for multiple cosmetic surgeries, but I contemplate re-implanting. I also think about getting a nose job, but I have read so many accounts from people who hated their new nose. And you can't reverse that surgery, like you can a boob job.

    Anyway, I'm rambling but the point is you don't NEED to talk to anyone unless you want to; you only NEED to be sure you want this for yourself. Good luck with whatever you decide!
