Hey everyone, has anyone here actually worked with the Actress? I'm trying to get an idea of what his rates look like, since word on the street is he's basically the top EST surgeon in the country.
They called you out on this: personal_desires(cigarettes & drinks) > diet I mean, seriously, what kind of lowlife are you, shamelessly sipping on some sparkling water while your kid is screaming his head off? Honestly, screw $3.25 and your damn cigarettes. (But if I'm being real, I don't think your story is even close to how you're painting it. You've totally blown it out of proportion—it probably wasn't ten minutes, more like two. I mean, someone arrogant enough to actually zone out for ten minutes while their kid is losing it wouldn't be popping up on a forum to talk psychology; they'd just be trying to act like they're too cool to care. Just my honest take)
So, they basically fixed my "droopy tip" situation—Grbu and taj. Look, my advice? Go get a consultation first. I had mine all lined up, went in for the check-up, and went straight from there to the surgery. If I remember correctly—and it was a while ago—the surgeon told me, "There's going to be a slight issue because the tip is sagging; we'll need to lift and shorten it." Honestly, they did a solid job. I’m super happy with the overall result. I won't claim I have a flawless nose now, but it’s 500x better. Most importantly, since I barely told anyone about the surgery, absolutely nobody has made any comments about me having a "big nose" or anything like that. Look, if you're someone who's totally obsessed with looks and gets hung up on every tiny detail, then go for a consultation and really do your homework. But if you're a clueless guy like me, who just wanted to fix that hooked shape so I could actually feel confident enough to, well, hook up with someone, then don't freak out. Seriously, once the surgery is done, your whole perspective on looks shifts a bit. Before, I was constantly staring at other people, thinking, "Why isn't my nose like that?" or "Man, that guy's nose is huge," but after a while, you realize it’s not even the most important thing in the world. Personally, if you've got the cash, I always say: go for it and get it done. It makes things a lot easier for me in certain situations. Not that I suddenly became a model—I definitely didn't—but it just stopped getting on my nerves knowing people were judging me from the sidelines.
I wanted to drop this here because I honestly feel like none of us who jumped on this bandwagon actually raised our baseline level of happiness—and even if we did, it was just a temporary high: "The fallout from forcing drastic physical changes hits us right where it matters: our relationship with our mental and emotional selves. Focusing solely on physical fixes actually makes our mental and emotional states worse. The more we try to mask our inner struggle by leaning on physical transformations, the worse we feel on the inside. Eventually, that fragile little bubble of a surgically perfected body is going to burst into total mental chaos and an emotional disaster. It’s inevitable. The second people stop staring at your new look in awe, you're going to be hit with a wave of pure internal despair. When you try to fix the deep-seated unhappiness in your quality of life through purely physical means, you're basically building an emotional time bomb. And one day, it's going to blow up."
mellowviper22 said:hey everyone, I'm heading in this Thursday for nose surgery. It's not cosmetic—my nose is actually broken—so I wanted to pick your brains about a few things. Like, how long am I looking at being out of commission? What’s the recovery like, and how long does it take? (Asking because of sick leave... hoping for a long one😁). Also, is it true you aren't supposed to smoke during recovery? (Maybe a good chance to quit, right?👍) etc.??
Stay healthy and happy!
Look, I lit up the same evening. Honestly, I don't get why smoking matters if you aren't breathing through your nose anyway. Btw, try having a beer once the anesthesia wears off—even just a little bit of that stuff can make your head spin. :)
I’m checking back in here to give a real update since it’s been seven months since my surgery, so let’s look at things realistically. I hate to burst the bubble for anyone hoping the tip of my nose would be super slim—it isn't. The tip isn't swollen; it’s just how your doctor shaped it. Before the procedure, my nose was pretty pointy and flat, but since he lifted it up, the tip looks a bit thicker. Honestly, does that make sense? When you're trying to fix an angle, you're aiming for a smoother, more rounded curve. Now, how much that actually changes the look is a whole different story... The second thing is regarding the base. If you feel like there’s some "bone" swelling there—look, bone is bone. Bone doesn't swell; it either fractures or it doesn't. Think about it like getting hit in the leg during a game; once the bruising and swelling go down, you aren't suddenly going to see a dent in your shin. Everything stays exactly where it was, right? So, if what you're feeling is just skin thickening from swelling, that will eventually subside—mostly imperceptibly, but it will happen. The key is being honest with yourself about your expectations. Don't treat cosmetic surgery like some kind of alien technology or magic trick. At the end of the day, it’s just a standard surgery. There's healing, there's scarring, the swelling goes down, and the results after a few months are simply whatever a human body can realistically achieve. Don't go looking for miracles. Besides, life isn't a fairy tale. Things don't always go exactly according to plan, and being overly nitpicky won't help anyone. Don't let a single millimeter throw you into a spiral of despair. At the end of the day, the goal is to have a less prominent nose, not necessarily a "perfect" one, right?
Man, you're totally messing with my head here... So, just to recap, the area where I had that bump actually looks pretty decent, but the tip is—let's be honest—kind of weird. I used to have this really sharp, thin tip, but now it’s less pointy and just feels thicker. And honestly? It still feels super numb to the touch. To make matters worse, I took a light hit to the nose recently and bled like a total maniac... seriously, it was ridiculous. Look, I'm not being nitpicky, and I don't think the whole thing looks bad, but I'm genuinely curious: is it actually possible for a thin tip to get thicker like this? That specific spot where the bump was—the part that got scraped up quite a bit and was basically the critical section—actually looks great. There's zero pain or swelling there. But the tip, which wasn't even a huge deal before, just feels off, especially when you look at it from the side and see how thick the end has become.
Alright, let's skip the total newbie questions about which doctor to pick for your funny little Disney organs and get to the real stuff. It’s been about two and a half months since my surgery, and I’ve got a question: is my nasal tip ever going to go back to how it was originally? The upper part where that bump used to be has kind of "sunk" quite a bit now, and the skin on the tip itself feels incredibly thick. On top of that, I’ve started getting these tiny black spots all over it... Before the surgery, my tip was sharp and thin; now, it’s been lifted a bit, but the skin still feels weirdly thick and greasy. What am I actually dealing with here?
Arthur Wright3 said:and on top of all that, apparently you even have to show up naked for nose surgery
Or maybe you just planned an enhancement for your junk at the same time, so the nose job is just a convenient little "side treatment" while you're already stripped down, huh?
Honestly, you guys are starting to get on my nerves with all this septum deviation talk.. This thread should really be for people looking into cosmetic stuff, not just those jumping on the social media bandwagon because they think they have some massive medical issue. Newsflash: everyone has a deviated septum. Just take a second to scroll back through the first page and actually read what people are saying. It’s so easy to just log on and demand instant, detailed answers without doing any legwork... Don't be lazy about taking care of yourselves.
I don't think she even had an ugly nose before this. Honestly, even the doctor said she had a "charming" nose, but when she’s out here demanding surgery just to fix a tiny little bump you can barely see from the profile view... man, she’s really just throwing money down the drain. This guy hasn't actually done anything at all. Plus, he’s kind of a joke of a surgeon anyway. 🙂)
Look, Joshua Scott62, I dealt with the same thing. My profile started looking prominent toward the end of elementary school, and honestly, it felt more intense than what you're describing. If this is actually eating you alive and you can't stop obsessing over it, just go get it done. If you keep putting it off, you’ll just stay stuck in that loop. But here’s the real truth: we all hyper-fixate on our own flaws way more than anyone else does. Do you ever sit there thinking about how great the kid in the front row looks, or how that third guy is overweight, or how the seventh guy has a boxer's nose, or even how that girl over there has a weird head shape? No, you don't. Personally, I ended up getting a procedure, but I have to tell you—I don't feel any more confident or relaxed because of it. It never really bothered me before, and from what I can see, it doesn't bother most people either. Yeah, my nose looks better now and the difference is obvious once you see it, but nobody actually noticed because people are too busy worrying about their own lives to care about someone else's nose. Maybe if you've reached that stage where you think girls won't want you because of your nose—which was my personal struggle, so I didn't even try with girls back then, though I had a few cute crushes—maybe it'll help you. You'll see things "go smoother," but I'm still getting rejected at an embarrassing rate : )) At the end of the day, it's all in your head. If you've got a solid, chill personality, you won't give a damn because you've already accepted yourself. But if you're anything like the rest of us here, just go get it fixed so you can stop stressing. Do it for your own peace of mind.
Just wanted to drop a little something here to boost the morale of anyone currently weighing their options about fixing those "breathing issues"... It’s been a month and ten days since my procedure, and I’ve actually been back out on the soccer field playing consistently for a week now. I even headed back to work just two days after they took the mold off. My nose still feels a tiny bit tender if you touch it, and honestly, I can't tell if it's actually swollen or if it's just always looked this way—I don't know if anyone else can even tell if there's swelling or if that's just my face. But all in all, things are looking solid... nothing too over-the-top (unlike Nicole Pišek ;), but the hump is gone and it's a bit shorter, which finally makes the whole ordeal feel worth it. As for the whole "confidence boost" thing? I haven't really felt a massive shift. To be fair, I don't think people were staring at me differently before or anything, but hey, maybe you'll realize it a bit later down the road... Unfortunately
You're overreacting. From what I've heard, Zambelli actually charges more for the nose job than everyone else $1333—it jumps from $10,000 up to $14,000
Why is nobody even talking about the Zagaljardica-Opatija situation? I actually saw some kind of ad for it popping up in those "Google" ads on the right side of my screen, so it feels pretty weird to me that no one has connected the dots or at least asked around about it...
Jeffrey Perez;23371179 said:Once you get that mold off, you can finally start wearing makeup! Unless it just feels too weird—I personally couldn't bring myself to touch my nose, it felt super awkward, almost like I was touching someone else's property 🙂
That’s such a spot-on way to put it. I totally get that vibe, though I wasn't quite sure how I'd even wrap my head around your idea initially ; ) but yeah, that feeling of touching something that doesn't feel like yours... it's real.
Where on earth are you getting that "listening to every single sound" local-boosted nonsense from? Personally, I don't catch any of it, just like 95% of the people who were in that same
How many people are walking around right now looking like total "plagiarism"? Honestly, I’m calling it now: technology is going to get so advanced that we'll eventually have some kind of insane tool where you can just design your own custom look, almost like using Photoshop on your own face.
