Susan Foster45 said:Besides using heparin, here’s another trick to get those bruises to fade faster... try tea tree ointment. It’s honestly a lifesaver for all sorts of things—but for me, it worked wonders on bruising in no time at all. Just apply it generously under the eyes and they'll clear up fast.😉

Does anyone know where I can pick some of that up?

Rachel Martinez94 said:Does anyone happen to know the exact pricing for the surgeons? Also—how much do they charge for consultations?

Consultations are $50, and surgery is $2,000.00

wanderingjackal said:Yeah, I look like a total rabbit right now—but no, it’s definitely not staying this way, at least that wasn't the deal I made with my doctor!! I'm heading in tomorrow to get the mold removed, so I'll let you know how everything goes... the swelling under my eyes has finally gone down, though it's turned this weird yellowish color... and I still have these two irregular purple-black spots on my cheeks... hopefully those fade soon too... oh, and my eyelids are bruised purple as well, but if you didn't know better, you'd just think I was wearing heavy makeup😉

Hey Marty!

Thanks for getting back to me, but I can't reply to you directly since your inbox is totally full. Let me know once you clear some space 🙂

Hey, you haven't said anything—how did the mold removal go? 😁

Kate Lee43 said:She thinks Glumicic has such a great nose—it totally leveled up her look!

Oh, really? I haven't seen him in person, but looking at these photos, he looks flawless to me. And yeah—it definitely made her look better.
Is that a verified fact though?🥳

Does anyone know which surgeon Marijana Batinić went to for her nose job? Honestly—if I had those results—I’d be flaunting that look every single day! 😉

Sophia Brown34 said:Rachel Martinez94, you've still got plenty of time... I actually ruled out Glumicic right from the jump—I had two friends go to him, and neither was happy with the results. Honestly, he just doesn't give off the right vibe for me. I was also considering Toncic, but my gut told me to go with Bastaic instead... I’d recommend him to anyone, really. He’s a total pro when it comes to both functionality and aesthetics, but he prioritizes a natural look, which is exactly what I'm after—we're totally on the same page there. Glumicic, on the other hand, doesn't seem to care much about how things actually function... plus, he's way more expensive, so no thanks!

What specifically were they unhappy with? Was it the function or the aesthetics?

Ashley Gomez said:Does anyone know a good pro who can teach me how to dim my eyes in photos? please!

rustygardener172, you really opened my eyes... I actually went out and grabbed half a liter of saline today for $3.25 🙏

Just a quick question for those who've been through this... How long did it take for your face to look normal again? I'm still pretty swollen—around the eyes and near the nose on the top left and bottom right—and my 🙄 nose looks like I just smeared grease all over it...

You could always just download Photoscape from the web; you can use it to 🙂

Elizabeth Collins5 said:You definitely knocked out the "easy" part, haha. Choosing a surgeon is a massive call—honestly, it feels a bit like a lottery sometimes. If you aren't feeling ready, just hold off a little longer 😉.

Haha, I thought the exact same thing—that was the hard part! Now I'm the one dealing with all the actual headaches 😂
.

I was totally set on becoming an actress—until one day I saw a huge billboard for some random movie star and, well, let's just say it didn't exactly inspire me. Then I think about someone like Scarlett Johansson and suddenly I'm second-guessing everything again. I don't live in New York, so I don't have the time to just wander around everywhere from Broadway to the local theaters looking at headshots and stuff. Although, honestly, that sounds like my kind of perfect afternoon 😁. Right now, this feels like such a massive life decision 🙄—and I definitely shouldn't be rushing into it. Besides, my nose isn't even that bad, and whenever I mention surgery to people, they usually give me this terrified look. But if my mom and my husband are both behind me on this, maybe I’m not actually losing my mind? 😉

Honestly, all these nose jobs look incredible. Now I just have to pick a surgeon... ugh, I'm losing my mind here...🙂
Finally saved up enough cash and actually have the downtime to get this done—but picking the right doctor is driving me absolutely crazy. I can't stop worrying about making the wrong call and regretting it later 😕. My biggest paranoia is ending up with a nose that looks too wide. I'm not scared of the surgery itself, but that moment when they take the molds off... man, my stomach is already in knots thinking about it.

Elizabeth Wells10 said:😲 Is it actually that complicated with the nasal alae??
I'm dealing with the exact same thing—I miss that crispness, so my nostrils end up looking way too long and obvious.
Sigh, as if having a nose I'm unhappy with wasn't enough already...

Looking at the photos the girls posted, my favorites are definitely Tončić and Džepina—though I still need to go in for consultations first, so we'll see. I never dreamed the nostrils would turn out to be my biggest headache.

Which Džepina are you talking about?

Carol Diaz31 said:Hidden Danke😍

Maria Hall92 if you start posting pictures, send some my way too—I'm actually pretty curious to see what it looks like 🙂

Honestly, I’d probably jump at the chance too 😍

Melissa Taylor3 said:I’ve been lurking on this forum forever—but today is finally the day I actually post!! It’s been about 40 days since my surgery, and honestly, the guy absolutely wrecked me—yet he still has the nerve to claim everything is perfect and that my breathing issues are just "all in my head." After his diagnosis, I went to three different specialists here in the States who told me they couldn't believe what he did... now I have to wait at least 8 months just to be considered for a secondary rhinoplasty. That "renowned" clinic? Total joke. My only goal is to make sure nobody else falls into this trap and goes through this absolute nightmare.

Reading stuff like this really makes me want to just give up entirely 😲 We would all be so incredibly grateful if you could tell us which doctor we need to avoid 🙏

Kate Taylor59 said:It’s just not available anywhere—if you go in for a consultation, they'll show you everything then. They won't put photos out in public because of patient privacy... simple as that.🤷

Me? Honestly—what do you guys think? What kind of impression did those before-and-after photos leave on you?

Kate Taylor59 said:So, I actually talked my dad into calling a contact up in Los Angeles—this guy who really knows his way around top surgeons—and he asked who's currently considered the absolute best...
And he said it's Ivo Dzepina. Fingers crossed that's our guy once we finally get out there! 🙂

Does anyone know where I can actually see some of his work? It looks like nothing is posted on his official site, if I'm seeing that right.🤷

Nancy Perez74 said:just like the last time I sent you those photos.
basically—it sucks

Oh man, I am so sorry 😢 What’s wrong—do you want to try Smith's again?

velvetangler17 said:I'm honestly just so happy to see you feeling good and satisfied after the surgery... but the reality is that everyone who went to Dr. Smith has nothing but glowing praise for him—and most importantly, they’re thrilled with how their noses turned out, both functionally and aesthetically.

True, but you ended up choosing Glumičić anyway—plus, Smith is right there in your city. I actually lean toward Glumičić too, even though it would be way more "convenient" for me to just get it done in Makarska. Besides, I've seen a few of Smith's results in person that weren't exactly amazing.

Kate Taylor59 said:Props to him... Glumicic

Sorry, who is this in the photo?

Just saw that carrier from John Newman2—honestly, it’s absolutely perfect 🙏
