northernmaker84 said:Quick question: if we decide to go back to the same surgeon for a follow-up procedure, does the price stay the same, or can we expect a bit of a discount? Thanks.🙂
Can you give me a quick rundown on why you're unhappy with the first round of edits? Thanks.
Emily Martinez12 said:So, I sent him an email asking if I could send over some photos to get an assessment and a quote. They told me sure, just send one shot from the front and one from the profile.
Just thought I'd give you guys a heads-up 🙂
though they mentioned the price is strictly for aesthetic stuff $4000. One woman on here had an aesthetic rhinoplasty with him and paid 9,000... so I'm crossing my fingers that this 12,000 is just a ballpark figure that might actually drop.😁
He gave me the same estimate: 12 $0.00 plus 3 $0.00 for tip projection. I was honestly relieved thinking the total would be around 12,000.
Emily Martinez12 said:I was wondering if I could just email Dr. Toncic some photos of my nose to get his take on what needs to be done and what the cost might be.
I'm not sure if he'd actually reply to an email instead of seeing me for a full consultation, so I wanted to see if anyone here has ever tried reaching out to him that way. 🙂
He will, honey. He’ll definitely get back to you—he gave me really detailed replies to several of my emails, so just go ahead and send them over...
Karen Morgan93 said:I honestly think it’s doable since there’s plenty of material out there.🙂
Maybe you could just email the doctor a photo of your nose and run it through Photoshop first (if you aren't a pro, I can do it for you—just send me the pics 🙂). That way you can ask if what you want is even possible.
Džepina doesn't have any photos online. 😢
Thanks, Karen. I sent the photos over to Dr. Toncic. He thinks the specific nose shape I'm aiming for wouldn't actually suit my face... He did say it can be significantly reduced, though, which is a small consolation. I really respect him for being blunt about it. Since I have a square face shape, he feels it wouldn't look right regardless of my eyes or lips. I definitely need to go in for a full consultation... My procedure is going to be pricier because there's quite a bit of work needed on the nose. I was planning to get it done before summer. Oh well, I guess I'll just focus on working overtime during the peak season and we can pull the trigger in the fall once I've saved up enough! And don't even get me started on my beard; one doctor quoted me a figure of $4667!! I definitely want to fix both the nose and the beard, because if I only shrink the nose, the beard is just going to stand out even more—ugh! We'll see what the professional verdict is. 🤷
Karen Morgan93, can you shoot me the link where I can see the photos of his corrections? I'm having no luck finding them...
Karen Morgan93 said:I went to see Dzepina personally, and honestly, she’s fantastic. Just think about it. I had breathing issues myself, but I can't pretend aesthetics don't matter—not at all. Imagine having a tiny nose that you can't even breathe through. Personally, I wouldn't trust my face to a surgeon who would permanently wreck my nasal function. When you go in for your exam, they'll tell you exactly what's doable and why. During my initial consultations, we spent about an hour and a half just talking things through. 🙂 If you're truly serious about going under the knife, then $100 paying for a consultation where everything gets laid out clearly is a smart investment. I'm not trying to run an ad here, but in my view, any competent surgeon should explain everything thoroughly, leaving the final call up to you.
Thanks for the input. Naturally, functionality is my top priority. If a major change to my nose isn't possible without risking my ability to breathe, I'll walk away from the surgery—even if I desperately want to shrink this bulbous thing! 🙂 The issue is that my profile shows a massive nasal tip; it’s wide, droopy from the front, and I can shove two fingers into my nostrils at once! ☕ Now, Toncic seems like the most reliable option, but in my opinion, the noses he works on still have large tips—it looks like he just removes the hump! I really want to see some results where he actually visibly reduced the tip itself... I'm worried there might not be much to work with since mine is quite fleshy and thick!! 🙂
I’ve been lurking here and reading through everyone's comments for months now... and I think I’m finally leaning toward scheduling surgery with Dr. Tončić. So far, he seems to have attracted the fewest criticisms, which gives me a glimmer of hope that he won't leave me disfigured like some of the other surgeons people have warned us about on this forum. But... there's always a catch. 🙄 While I’m convinced Dr. Tončić is a top-tier specialist, looking at his surgical results, it seems like he barely touches the tip or makes only the slightest adjustments! My nose is massive—and that's not even counting the messy beard I mentioned before. My nostrils are huge, the tip is bulbous and protrudes, the bridge is drooping, and to top it all off, I have a hump! 🙂 I trust the doctor could give me a more symmetrical nose, but my goal isn't just "symmetry"—I want a tiny nose that actually fits my face. Maybe I’m being unrealistic and swinging from one extreme to the other, but I am dead set on a small nose! I'm terrified that it might be physically impossible to transform such a wide base and heavy tip into something delicate and petite. 😢 What’s your take? Is Dr. Tončić actually the right call for a case like mine? 🤷 Obviously, I can't know for sure without a consultation, but I’d love to hear from anyone here who actually achieved a significant transformation rather than just a minor tweak.
Kate Nguyen40, where did you go for your chin surgery? If you don't mind sharing... I'm actually planning to get my nose and chin done myself. My nose sticks out way too much and has this weird ridge down the middle that makes it look like a butt, haha!!
