It’s a solid action flick, and having Michael Vartan in the cast definitely adds some extra value. 😍

Kate Taylor59 said:Why don't they ever post front-facing photos of the doctors? It's always profile shots. I really need to see them from the front because looking at them from the side doesn't tell me much...

Could someone please, just because there are zero photos online, upload a front-facing shot? Even just the nose would do. Honestly, seeing their profile would help me decide on a surgeon, as the tip shape is incredibly important to me. 🙂 All I can offer right now is a photo of my current situation, but I doubt anyone wants to see that horror show. Once I finally head in for the surgery, I won't hesitate to share the results—even if (God forbid) I'm not happy with them. After all, I think that’s exactly why we’re all here: to share information and learn from each other. 😉

Megan Moore76 said:Look, there are unhappy people everywhere, even with the specialists you actually like. 😉 It’s just how it goes—different strokes for different folks, and doctors are only human after all. 😉

Actually, if I see a massive wave of dissatisfied patients, that’s when I’d stop and take notice. I’ve been following this thread since page one. There’s one doctor here I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole because of all the complaints, and another I'd skip simply because I don't care for his surgical style. For anyone else, I’d give them a fair shot at a consultation.

My two cents? Read this whole thread from the very beginning. Don't take everything at face value, obviously, but do pay attention to the patterns people are pointing out.

@Taylor, your inbox is absolutely exploding. 😉

Kate Taylor59 said:Just how deep do those tampons go? Are we talking all the way up to the sinuses?

Wait, what?? 😱 Don't scare me like that. 🙂

Kate Bishop47 said:Yeah, but what’s even weirder about my nose is that I haven’t even had surgery on it yet. It’s just that the bottom part—the cartilage—looks like it rotated upward. Now my nose looks shorter and more upturned 😢. I'm wondering if I could have actually messed it up just by touching it? I mean, isn't cartilage basically 70% water? I want to know how to fix this without making things worse. Plastic surgery is my absolute last resort because my nose was flat before—well, I think it's still flat, but now I look like a pig, or a dwarf... the tip, the apex, it just slipped upward, protruded, and stayed that way 😢 😢 :'( I'm worried there has to be some way to manipulate the cartilage if I could mess it up that easily
.

Honestly, I wouldn't advise you to go poking at it yourself again. You should really just head to your doctor and get a professional opinion. Besides, if there's any way to actually "reset" it, you definitely want a doctor doing that instead of trying it at home.

Now I just need to find that photo of my nose from before the surgery... I only sent it to a handful of people...

Check your PM. 😉

Emily Reed51 said:Žanamari Lalić didn't do it right. It looks good, sure, but functionally? Not so much. Breathing feels worse than before.

She told me the exact same thing... damn, you just can't have it all, can you? 😢

Issssse, Carol Diaz31, I’m so sorry to hear she’s being so quiet. 😢 Who were you visiting?

Carol Reed64 said:Hey, I'm actually looking into booking with Glumičić too. Do you happen to know what his surgery fees are like? Also, does he offer any payment plans through American financing?

His standard rate is usually around $1,950, but I'm not entirely sure if he offers installment plans. 🤷

quietwolf182 said:Just a little heads-up here... if you aren't happy with your nose—if you genuinely believe a new profile would make you feel more confident—my advice is to just go for it. Get it done through a hospital if you’re dealing with a deviated septum, or just book a private surgeon and call it a day. You'll solve both the psychological side and the physical issues at once.

P.S. The surgery itself isn't painful because you're completely under. Honestly, the recovery isn't much either; the only real issue is some minor bruising that clears up pretty fast. No need to worry. For me, spending that time in the hospital with my nose all packed up was quite the experience, but in the end, I am very satisfied with the results...👍.

And why are you getting so worked up? 😕

Olivia Edwards23 said:Hey everyone.😍Quick question for the group—if anyone can help me out, I’d really appreciate it. I honestly don't have the energy to dig through all the old threads to find the answer myself.🙄
Does combining a septoplasty with a rhinoplasty incur extra fees? I’m dealing with a deviated septum and also want to tweak the shape of my nose a bit, so I’m looking to get both done at once. I’d love to know how the billing actually works because I keep hearing conflicting things about it. Thanks!😬

I'm going through the exact same thing...😢

Ladies who have had the procedure done, would you mind sharing some before and after photos? Or if you're more comfortable, maybe just send them via PM...

I’m having such a hard time deciding which surgeon to go with. Everyone seems to rave about Dr. Glumičić—he’s constantly in the tabloids, and all the celebrities swear by him. The catch? He’s significantly pricier than the others. Ugh. Does anyone have recommendations for other doctors I should look into? I'm not actually from the States; I'm living abroad right now, so I really want to make the most of my trip back to the US and get everything taken care of at once. (In case you're wondering why I wouldn't just do it where I am now... prices here range from $3,000 to $4,000. I don't think they hit those heights back home.) Thanks so much! 🙏

Could you please post some before and after photos from the surgery? I’m especially curious about how it looks from the front. From what I can see, the profile looks incredible, but I have a bit of a blunt tip, so I'm wondering how they'll refine that later on. Thanks!

You can find plenty of the Actor's work on this page. 😉

Thanks for letting me know. 😉 I was actually hoping someone else on the forum might post a photo—maybe even from other doctors. I only highlighted the Actor because he’s likely my top choice in the end.
Wishing a speedy recovery to everyone who just went through surgery. I'm still working up the courage! (And, let's be honest, saving up the cash, too.) 😁

neondriver18 said:I have a suggestion, ladies 🙂
Could you please post some before and after photos so we can actually see the results? It would be great if we could
compare the work of specific surgeons. Obviously, there's no need to post a photo just one day after surgery 😁... maybe wait
until about a month has passed. I know some women here had their procedures a long time ago, so if you're able to share, I would be incredibly
grateful 🙂.... And don't worry, it doesn't have to be a full profile shot, just a photo of the nose itself
...

Especially photos from those who went to the Actor, please. 🙏

Could someone please DM me some before and after photos of their nose jobs? I'm seriously considering booking a consultation with Ostojić.

By the way, what’s the going rate for a rhinoplasty these days? For those of you who've actually gone through it, what did it end up costing you? I saw on TV and in the papers that for someone like a Hollywood actor, the price ranges from $5,000 to $8,500, but I just read right here on the forum that someone paid 14 $0.00? WOW!!! 14 $0.00!!!😲

Quick question—what’s the typical damage for a nose job these days? For those of you who've actually gone through it, what did you end up paying? I saw on TV and in the papers that a celebrity surgeon charges anywhere from $5,000 to $8,500, but then I just read someone here on the forum saying the price was 14 $0.00? WOW!!! 14 $0.00!!!😲

Angela Ward81 said:I have a few questions regarding rhinoplasty—specifically tip reduction to narrow the nose. Has anyone here actually gone through with this? I’m curious about a few things: Is there an age limit for when you should consider it? What kind of price range are we looking at in the US? And how does the recovery process actually play out? Honestly, if you have any tips or experiences at all, please share.
Thanks. 😍

I'm also curious about this, so if anyone here has gone through something similar, I’d love for you to share your experience with us. Thanks. 🙂
