    Whose wanted or had a nose job?

    So I've decided about 80% that I would like to get a nose job in a few months. I would consider myself attractive in the face, my nose isnt bad, but its a little to high from the side and from the front my nose looks slightly long and just doesnt suit my face, which has delicate features.

    I'm just curious who has considered getting a nose job, or who has gone through with it and with what kind of results?

    I've heard that after 7-10 year you have to get another nose job, or is that just a rumour? Also what are some of the major side effects?

    It's funny I had a dream last night that I was in surgery for a nose job, they made a mistake, and I ended up with a worse looking nose! That kind of scared me lol

    I wanted a nose job for a couple of years now. My grandmother, mom, and I both have the same nose. It has a hump in the middle, its sort of slender and too long on the botton. I have a thin and long oval looking face and the nose just elongates it even more. I never heard of the 7 year itch for a rhinoplasty :] I think once they break and reshape the cartilage in your nose you're set for a lifetime, even though the nose is one of a few body parts that keeps getting bigger as we age. I guess if you had it done you would be sore for a couple of days and swollen for a good couple of months, maybe some bruising also. I would get it done but I'm just too scared of the whole "putting me to sleep" idea. Even though its a cosmetic surgery, there are risks involved, I'm just too chicken. But if you do consider it, finding the best doctor is crutial. It takes a lot of money (about 10 grand) for a good nose job. Safety is number one, as well as a good outcome

    I hate 'em. But then I don't like implants either. I just hate that generic look; most of the time your *unique* natural features are what make you memorable and attractive. I've known a few girls who had nose jobs and they all regretted it a few years later.

    Interestingly, Nicole Kidman had a nose job when she was young, then later won an Oscar for a role that required her to wear a big honky prosthetic nose. It's the circle of life, Hollywood-style.

    I had my nose done a little over ten years ago. I haven't regretted it for a second but then I always hated my nose with a passion so there was no question I wanted it done. As far as having it redone, I guess your nose can settle with age and you can have scar tissue bulid up a little but I'm still happy with mine. I did have to have it done again right after the first time though because the tip of my nose didn't stay up like it was supposed to and he had to go in and re-sew it.

    I'm seriously thinking about getting a nose job, probably the beginning of the year, maybe sometime in February. Like Marcy, I have my family nose. Very distinctive bump on the bridge, and the tip just looks weird. My profile is all fucked up from it, the nose gives me a "hawkish" look. It's only gotten more prominent as I've gotten older. So, I'm doing it for me.

    I've done plenty of research in the past year. It's a myth that you will have to have repeat surgery down the road. You just have to be very careful post-surgery not to bump it while it sets. The slightest tap will cause damage and bring to back to square 1, from what I've heard and read.

    I have a deviated septum as well, so the nosejob will be done while that is being corrected. I'll be breathing much easier, and I'll feel better about how my honker looks.

    Pics are below so you all don't think I'm nuts and seeing something that isn't there.. Hahaha

    I am 18 now but I've wanted my nose done since I was a vain little 10 year old. I am scheduled for a boob and nose job on January 3rd with Dr. Adrian Lo in Philly. If it will make you more confident and you can afford it, I say go for it. Your own opinion of yourself is the only one that matters. Right now my nose is an Italian/Polish combo if you can imagine and it's the only thing I don't like on my face. So the end result should get rid of the bump on my bridge and make the tip smaller.

    Rhiannan, I'm putting my oppinion in something you might not have noticed; if you get a nose job for yourself(To breathe), make sure they don't mess up it's angle, as it matches your ears awesome. You have cute lil fairy ears, way hot! Also, you might not like it's tip, but it has a look many women and men have a nose job to get, that is, more refined nostrils that have a flavor of aristocracy. You have beautiful features.

    as for myself, I have a scar on my nose that I've thought of correcting, makes my honker uneaven to my eyes, but I'll probably let it stay that way. I have more important things to spend 5 grand on, as it is not causing me any physical grief, or social problems.
    I know someone who had a job when they were 40, said they wished they had done it sooner, and it looked great. It's good for some, for others, they take it over board. They also have had it done for over ten years, and no, you don't have to get it redone. Not a doc, but I would say if to much cartilage is removed, there is a chance of it collapsing if it is hit, then a redo would be necesairy with an implant put in place. Might have that messed up though(I'm thinking michael jackson).

    I've wanted a nose job on and off for awhile, but not enough to fork out 10 grand that could go towards school or real estate. When I'm done school I think I'll do it- I'll be about 30 then.

    My aunt had one and it went bad. And shes knows everything medical and all the doctors. Scares me! She has had I think like two more corrective jobs.....it might just be the family nose didn't like the knife! Hehe. I wanted one because we have this like ball thing tip, but I don't have it like the rest of my family, I got my nose from my dads side, and I've grown to like it. Please be careful!

    This is a very serious surgery to get,but it worked for me over 12 years ago.I had a wider tip "russian" nose,that I inherited from my father.It looks great and nobody can ever tell that anything was done.It took a long time to recover though,with black eyes and nosebleeds,but well worth it.

    That is probably the best compliment I've ever gotten on my ears. LOL.. Thank you! I've always thought of them as elfish and strange. I'll keep what you said in mind about the angle and tip. The biggest thing is to be able to breathe a bit better by getting the deviated septum taken care of. I hate feeling like I always have a cold. Bleh. The bump is something I just want gone.

    Thanks again for the compliments!

    Just make sure you get a good doctor. Look at a lot of his pics. I lucked out and got a doctor who just sort of knew what to do to make it look right and fit my face and even though my mom was extremely opposed to me having it done she actually said she liked it after I had it done. I had a really wide nose and now it's just normal looking. I'm having trouble finding a good pic that shows it good but in this one you can kind of see it just looks like it fits my face

    I had my nose done 5 years ago and I'm very happy with the results.It wasn't a drastic change but rather an improvement.I didn't wan't to look plastic...My advice to you is DO YOUR HOMEWORK.Talk to a number of doctors (I saw 10 before choosing) and make sure you select someone who is cerified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.They have residency and training requirements for all members.You should also ask how many (at least a ballpark) of that procedure has the doctor performed and ask to see pictures.You will notice differences in style from surgeon to surgeon...and pay attention to your gut feeling also.When you find someone you feel comfortable with and you trust you will know.It's easier to get it done right the first time than have to endure corrective surgeries later.....And recovery does suck so be prepared for that.I had two black eyes for nearly 3 weeks and swelling for months after that.The idea that you have to get it replaced is silly(at least I hope so or I'm in trouble soon) and none of the 10 doctors I saw ever mentioned anything like that and I've had no problems....Go for it and good luck!

    Ooops! I just saw that you are in Toronto. I'm sure they have similar certifications in Canada. Just make sure you check out your doctors credentials...so important!

    OK, Rhi, not fair. Not fair! I already fell hopelessly in love with your new avatar, and now you post two pics with the most fabulously erotic bone structure I've ever seen in my entire life.

    I also love your nose. But we all have hang-ups about our own noses no matter what anybody says. And I'm certain you'll feel better after the deviated septum is corrected.

    I had mine done about 10 years ago. Plastic surgery is an art form, so the advice to pick a surgeon carefully is excellent. I had mine done by the chief of plastic surgery at Georgetown Hospital and what impressed me even more than his title was that he sketched my new nose on an art pad and then on a computer (where they were doing modeling of my overall facial structure).

    Things to remember: All surgery is violence to the body, so be prepared to walk around for a while looking like somebody took a baseball bat to your face. You "heal into your look," and it takes time. It's not overwhelmingly painful, but you will have lots of dull aching, feeling tired, experience fluid leakage, sexy stuff like that. Have somebody around to take care of you for a while. PM me if you need volunteers.

    Hey Moneylover, I don't know if you had your nose done since this post but, I had my nose done in Toronto by Dr. Carmen. He is wonderful and everything went very well. I healed quickly, no scarring, and minimal brusing. I don't regret a bit and I would return to him if I ever wanted anything done. PM me and I will gladly give you his office address and phone number if you need it.
