The doctor pulls them out himself personally, and honestly, that was what I was most terrified of because I'd read such horrible things about it. But I don't know how to explain it, I'm telling you truly, it didn't hurt at all—not even when he was clearing my nose! I thought that would be the hardest part of the whole correction, but he knows exactly how to handle it... I just can't get over it. I seriously can't wait to get back to work with my new nose. IN MY EYES, DR. GLUŠAC IS A TOTAL GENIUS!

As for me, I don't really have a hump, just more of a potato shape—wide tip, longer... and I think the issue is in my cartilage rather than the bony part where you guys had your humps.
Now I'm wondering—after watching a video of a surgery by Glusca on YouTube, what does that mean for my case??!!
So, ladies, did the hump just disappear and that's it? Or do you end up with a narrower, slightly shorter, more lifted nose??!!

The only upside is that your recovery should be a breeze. General anesthesia isn't a must, either—if you clear it with your doctor, they can actually do the whole thing under local anesthesia instead.

So, I just got back from my consultation with Dr. Zambelli.
He told me I actually have a really nice, slim nose with a pretty pronounced tip in the cartilage area.
His plan is to just inject the nose locally, shave down that bit of cartilage, and lift it slightly to hit about a 105-degree angle—he mentioned that anything between 95 and 110 degrees is basically the sweet spot for women.
Supposedly, I'd just have to wear some little bandages for two weeks, and the actual procedure only takes about 20 minutes.

I'm still on the fence about jumping into it, especially since my cartilage is kind of tough...
The wildest part? He won't even guarantee that the cartilage won't just grow right back...😕

I'm just wondering if anyone knows how the process works when you're only fixing the tip—you know, just that cartilage part.
Just thinking about narrowing it down a bit, making it smaller...
Do you actually need full surgery, general anesthesia, packing...
Please let me know.
Thanks so much!😉
