If you're twisting my words, let's get this straight—I never trashed any doctors, and honestly, I haven't seen anyone attacking Dr. Glusac lately either. Just Chillax. ☕

Dr. Zgaljardic does an amazing job with these braces. 🙏 If he lived closer, I’d definitely be going to him too...

Absolute legend. 🤣

And? How's it look?

I’m done commenting. 🤷 And Greeneyes, glad you're happy if you really did look like Cyrano before... 😁

P.S. Pretty in pink, can you get back to me on my DM? Thanks.

Matthew Turner4 said:Lies? Is this all just straight-up lies?... I can't really get into this one without seeing what you're talking about... the link isn't giving me much to work with. If there's something specific in that video you want my take on, just say so. Otherwise, I'm just staring at a blank screen here...

I checked that out the second I saw his page—along with everything else. Every single little detail...

If you all claim to be so damn satisfied, then why aren't you showing off your gear? Where are the photos, seriously...? 😁 Only rustygardener172 actually showed me her nose, and honestly... it's gorgeous. 👍

Ashley Young34 said:I went with Dr. Glusac, and that’s that. Just because things worked out for me doesn't mean he’s the right fit for everyone else—it's not a one-size-fits-all situation. So, please, stop trying to shove these recommendations down our throats...☕

Signature. 🙏

Megan Moore76 said:So, I guess everyone over at Dr. 90210 was just walking around traumatized or something... 😁

What’s the deal with the noses these surgeons work on? Do they actually look "undamaged" afterward? I don't know... the only one I managed to sit through without feeling faint was Dr. Glusac's—and honestly, it didn't look half bad at all. Usually, just watching these things makes me feel a bit lightheaded...

rustygardener172 said:All I care about is how the doctor actually does the job, not whatever gossip is floating around about him.

Uhhhh, maybe you totally misunderstood what I meant? This info is literally on his official website, not some tabloid rag. I mean, an official site—or sites, in this case—is the first place anyone would look if they have internet access. What's weird about that? Besides, I searched for "nasal memory surgery" and the exact same sentence from his site popped up on another surgeon's page.

rustygardener172 said:Being nitpicky isn't exactly a trait worth bragging about... regardless of whether we're talking about your face. It's always those nitpicky people who finish their first surgery only to find one tiny detail that isn't quite what they expected...

Yeah—I am nitpicky, I'm a perfectionist, and *especially* so when it comes to my own face. I don't want some fake plastic nose; I want the shape I had before I broke it, just symmetrical. If wanting that is being difficult or demanding the impossible, then I don't know what to tell some people.
Most people here are just fixing minor things, tips, etc. I guess that makes them nitpickers, but if they've already decided to go through with it and shell out huge amounts of money, they have every right to demand what they want... assuming it's even doable. 🤷 🙂

so they just go to someone else... and keep nitpicking... and then start thinking about a third... then a fourth... a fifth... 😁

No way. 😁 Branko Glušac only gets one shot at this with me. If he messes up, I'm stuck like this forever because I don't have the cash for a second doctor.

But nobody is going to tell me I haven't done enough research before deciding which doctor to go with! I've been burned once before, so now I'm being extra cautious.

Good for you. I honestly don't know what I'd think if that happened to me. I already trust Glušac when it comes to the functional side of the surgery—that's actually one of the main reasons I want him despite everything. I need someone who handles both aesthetics and functionality at the same time.

darkhawk10 said:thanks stormyharbor2, I ended up picking Glušac over Tončić anyway—all I need is a straightforward 👍 Glušac just seems like the most reliable option to me, people seem to praise him more than anyone else and I actually like his website.

I’d probably lean toward Glušac between those two as well, just based on one simple fact: his noses are what I like best 😁 Every single one looks different and actually fits the face he's working on. Tončić’s results still look kind of oversized to me after surgery, though maybe that’s just what his patients are asking for... 🤷

Look, I'm not bashing Glušac, so there's no need to defend him. I'm just using some common sense—I want to know if he's actually as perfect as everyone claims, or if it's all just marketing. Go ahead and kill me then, because I want—no, I *need*—to know everything before it's too late and I'm already under the knife. 🙂

🤣

rustygardener172 said:You're just nitpicking over things that don't even matter...

When it comes to picking a surgeon who’s basically going to be restructuring my entire face—since my case is way more intense than most of you—I’m going to be obsessing over every single tiny detail. And honestly? I think I have every right to be that picky...

Who knows... maybe he worked with that doctor...

It’s just an identical sentence—only written in English... 🤣 It’s no small thing to claim you invented something that was actually cooked up by another doctor. I don't know who handled his website design—they could have at least had the decency to rewrite a single sentence... 🤷

He’s constantly flying around the world for these seminars... Maybe he thinks he was the one who pioneered this whole thing back home, or maybe he thinks he's some big shot over in the States... Honestly, everyone everywhere claims they invented the wheel...

I know, I know. I’ve read the whole thing—it literally says right there that he made the whole thing up...

In any case, you're just giving yourself an unnecessary headache...

Should I just suck it up and swallow the lies because I'm too passive... maybe... 🥳 😁 I'm just the type of person who needs to dig through everything and get all the facts straight before I even consider making a move. Cheap little hacks don't work on me... 🤷 Anyway, I already said I'm going to go in for the talk, so we'll just have to see how things play out...😉

darkhawk10 said:Does anyone know what the going rate is for a rhinoplasty with Branko Glušac? I’m looking at something simple—nothing overly complicated—but his website doesn't list any prices and I haven't had a chance to dig through everything here yet... Since I'm based in Miami, he's the most convenient option for me.

Check your PM.

Greeneyes, you there? ☕ Send some photos over, or let's just jump on Skype. 🤣

I’m still stuck on why the "media" section on Glušca's site is basically a carbon copy of what this American doctor has posted. Who actually came up with this "nasal memory surgery" thing first—is he copying him, or what? I mean, there's really no reason to lie about stuff like that... 😕 Now I'm feeling unsure again.

Couldn't even edit this post—getting those errors again... check above.

Ashley Young34 said:That’s really up to your doctor to decide—they’re the experts on which specific technique will actually work for you—but honestly, about 95% of these procedures are done using the closed technique anyway... 🙂

If I pull the trigger on this, I'm heading straight to Branko Glušac—and apparently, he does everything behind closed doors...

It feels a little sketchy to me that his website claims these procedures are painless and that you’ll "go home without any bruising or swelling"... because let's be real—everyone ends up with swelling and bruises afterward... 😁

And then there's this part too...

You really have to insist on an internal incision—we're talking a closed technique here. If you go the open route, you’re looking at a nose tip that might not settle for one to three years... and nobody wants that.

Anyway, he claims to have developed this specific technique he calls "nasal memory surgery." I tried Googling it, and all I get is the exact same sentence—only it's in English and it's actually referring to some other surgeon...

If you're looking at facial plastic surgery, Geoffrey W. Tobias M. d. is the guy to watch—he actually specializes in Rhinoplasty. He’s basically pioneered this whole "un-nose job" concept... you know, the kind where you can't even tell someone had work done. He pulled it off by developing this totally revolutionary technique called "nasal memory surgery." It's pretty wild...

Plastic surgeon Branko Glušac—the specialist you go to for Rhinoplasty—just came up with this whole "nose job" concept where it actually looks like you haven't even had work done. To pull that off, he developed this revolutionary new technique he's calling "nasal memory surgery"...

Who exactly is copying whom here?...😕

Ashley Young34 said:...most people just go with the closed technique ☕

Exactly.

"The 'open' technique is indicated for particularly severe tip deformities or noses that have undergone multiple previous surgeries or trauma."

In that case, I guess I should be getting the open approach done... 😳

Nancy Perez74 said:Men aren't really that nitpicky—they just don't get that stuff... unless they're being a total Fashion Cat, LOL.

I don't think you even have to be nitpicky to see that those noses above were just poorly done...

Everyone seemed shocked that I even wanted to get rhinoplasty—my male colleagues were all over me about it, saying stuff like, "You're going to ruin your face, you have a perfectly fine nose"... honestly, it was ridiculous...

Everyone who actually knows me—even my own friends—has been telling me I need a rhinoplasty just to finally be considered pretty... 🤣 Either they’ll tell me straight up why I shouldn't get the rhinoplasty—no jokes this time—or whatever... It’s not like my nose is quite at Helga's level, but it's definitely somewhere in that ballpark...

That nose is just grotesque...

🤣

Nancy Perez74 said:You don't need to fly to the States just to get that tiny YouTube nose—our surgeons here can pull that off easily, based on the photos I've seen locally.

I've never seen anyone from Helga get a nose like that. 🤷

Good grief, I’m seriously starting to think men are blind to everything except boobs and butts...🤦 I showed a friend the girl from the video and he said she looks adorable now, but used to look like a rhino—but then I showed him those photos below and he's like, "what's wrong with those noses?" WTF? What do you mean *what's wrong*? Is it normal to pay a doctor to turn one bump into three? I don't get it... how men only notice flaws if they're glaringly obvious, or if a woman wearing 4 pounds of makeup is somehow "naturally beautiful and bare-faced." 🤣

It's over—you've got a gorgeous new little nose! It reminds me of giving birth; they always tell you: it's done! You've got a beautiful little baby boy!

🤣

Nancy Perez74 said:Good grief, stormyharbor2—where on earth did you find these before and after shots? They’re a total disaster... That surgeon really botched it...😢

Those were some of the very first photos I stumbled upon while googling rhinoplasty. I ended up scrolling through the whole page... The surgeon is based out of San Francisco, but honestly, our local doctors back home are way better than him. I just can't wrap my head around how those women could actually be happy with the results... 😕

I wish I could just track down the plastic surgeon who did that girl's nose in the video. Not that I’m looking for that exact same look—obviously, my face shape is totally different—but still...

John Newman2, still no pain or discomfort yet?😁 Did they actually pull those tampons—or whatever they call them—out of your nose yet?...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZRXYF6FvXM

Wow...😲 Seriously though. Her nose looks almost like mine—except mine is actually worse since my tip is drooping while hers at least looks decent after the pyramid stage.

Found this on some doctor's website...

😕 Every single one of these post-op results looks bad. Like, wtf.

Nancy Perez74 said:stormyharbor2, did you finally pull the trigger on that surgery or what...?😍

Yeah. First step is getting that checkup—but I need to figure out the logistics first, since I don't exactly have anyone to crash with...

Ashley Young34 said:stormyharbor2 - plenty of people claim you can't get stuff without a prescription, but honestly, that rule doesn't really carry any weight around here... you can just walk right into a pharmacy and pick up what you need... 😁

Yeah, I know that... 😁 I honestly thought this was "serious" enough to actually include in the recipe...

I feel the exact same way—honestly, thinking about construction tools that can actually shatter bones is way more terrifying to me than some muscle being cut... I don't really get why everyone is panicking over this...🙂

Look, it’s a minor thing compared to actually getting your nose broken, but there’s just something about this whole situation that’s unsettling. Can you please talk normally? Does my smile look different to you now...

@Princess, did you have that same muscle cut too?

Sorry if I keep bugging everyone with all these questions... 🤣

Nancy Perez74 said:Why does it matter? You're under anesthesia anyway—it shouldn't matter what they're actually doing... as long as you don't feel a thing and the end result looks good.

That doesn't change the fact that it sounds pretty gross. Pretty sure I'm not the only one here pointing that out...

I'm basically Quasimodo

🙂 It'll pass, just hang in there...

Nancy Perez74 said:they cut one of my muscles

😢 Cutting a muscle right above the lip sounds absolutely brutal...

I feel like my mouth looks like some old Hollywood character's

🤣 So they basically just pulled them outward?😁
