I’m not out here asking for a nose like Nicole Kidman’s; I’m talking about what’s realistically possible for my own face. There is a massive difference between having a visual of how a change will actually sit on your features versus some doctor just trying to describe it to you with words.

Ugh, I’m actually dreading the thought of having to deal with tampons for three whole days straight. 😢

Glusac wasn't the only one I sat down with for consultations—there were several others in the running—but honestly, this guy told me more via email than all those other doctors did during our actual face-to-face meetings. (And he was the only one who didn't charge me just to talk.) What I loved most about him was how he simply asked what I wanted, told me "we'll do this and that," and that was it. He actually carries himself with confidence, unlike most of the other doctors who just kept droning on about how risky everything was, or how it might not turn out the way I envisioned, or how complicated it all seemed. My nose had already been messed up at least four times before this surgery, so everyone else was pretty shaky about the end result... well, everyone except Glusac..

shadowseal372 said:First off, I really want to thank rustygardener172 because if it wasn't for her and all those photos she posted, I probably wouldn't have even gone to see Dr. Glusac. I had my surgery two months ago. My nose was honestly a disaster—wide, bumpy, high, and basically broken... I absolutely hated it. But now, I finally have the beautiful nose I've always wanted. My profile looks perfect, even though the tip is still a little swollen. The bones are still a bit puffy too, but even with the swelling, it's already thinner and better than before. He mentioned it was quite a challenge for him since I had several old fractures. The procedure was supposed to cost $2,000, which means $4867, but the doctor ended up only charging me $1,400 and told me to take the extra $600 and buy something nice to help with the recovery 😍

I’d highly recommend Dr. Glusac to everyone; if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them 👍.

Since this is only my second post here, I know a lot of you are going to be skeptical about my story, but I'm not here to run an ad or anything. I just want to help girls who are still on the fence, just like rustygardener172 helped me 🙂.

rustygardener172 said:Look... it seriously wouldn't have been fair if he charged me... We had an agreement in Miami, I drove all that way and called his cell just to get him to explain where to go, but he totally blanked on me... He headed off to San Diego because he was giving some lecture to a group of plastic surgeons.... so I chased him down to San Diego... He did my exam right in the hotel lobby a few minutes before his presentation started.... while all those plastic surgeons mentioned on this forum were literally walking around us. The guy actually mocked me, saying I should've just stopped them one by one to get their opinions since they were all right there 😁

Honestly, the whole thing with Glusac is just hilarious to me—like, does he actually charge people or not? Is anyone even sure anymore?
It seems like he just does whatever he feels like, probably just whenever someone happens to be his favorite!

Kate Taylor59 said:Your nose is top tier, and honestly, there's a reason he didn't touch the summit—everything just fits perfectly. 👍
So, here’s how I saw it go down... he told me straight up that he’d work on the top because it looks absolutely pathetic right now. If anyone actually gives a damn and wants to see, I can send it over via DM.

rustygardener172 said:You won't find any evidence of it unless you're looking directly at people who've actually gone under the knife. I've seen two of his noses in person, and honestly? I wouldn't have guessed for a second that they were surgically enhanced. They just looked like perfectly normal, straight noses—not too small, not too hooked. So, if you're hunting for that tiny, upturned look, I don't think this guy is your best bet. 😁

Kate Taylor59 said:I’m honestly just lost at this point... what if my nose is actually a nightmare case? Like, what if it takes way more work than expected to fix...
But I still really want an ENT to do it... I've heard nothing but glowing reviews about Glusac, and now I'm here...

Megan Moore76 said:Look, there are cranky people everywhere, even with the doctors you actually like 😉 It’s just how it goes—everyone has an opinion, and at the end of the day, doctors are just humans too 😉

But honestly, when you see a massive wave of unhappy people, wouldn't you stop and wonder why? I've been following this thread from page one, and let me tell you, there's one doctor I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole because of all the complaints, and another one I'd skip just because I hate his nose. I'd give pretty much any other doctor a fair shot during a consultation.

My advice? Read this whole thread from the very beginning. Don't take every single word as gospel, obviously, but definitely pay attention to the patterns people are pointing out.
