How long does the waiting period usually last for surgery? I mean, from the initial call with the doctor until the actual procedure.

Purely aesthetic. My nose has a bump and is curved when viewed from the profile. I’d prefer it to be a bit smaller and straighter. The thing is, I've made up my mind and I have the funds, but I'm still completely in the dark about the next steps.

Hi there. I’m looking for some guidance. I’ve decided to move forward with the surgery and have the funds set aside, but I'm essentially starting from scratch regarding the details. Where should I go, which surgeon should I trust, and what does the actual procedure entail? I’ve been reading through this thread and noticed a mix of success stories and complaints, but regardless, does anyone have any specific recommendations? Feel free to DM me if you prefer.

Hi there.
I’m 17 and I've been thinking about getting rhinoplasty for quite some time now.
From the front, everything looks fine, but my nose is large, and from a profile view, you can see a bump. It also kind of crinkles when I laugh—it isn't just a bump on a flat surface, but more of a slight banana-shaped curve along the entire length.
Since I have an elongated face, the actual length of the nose doesn't bother me; I just want it to be straight and stop feeling so tight when I smile.
I've done a little reading, but nothing has given me any real direction, so I was wondering—what should my first steps be?
