Even though we used to have pretty similar noses, hers had a much more pronounced hump; now, they look completely different. Honestly, I’m just relieved I went with Toncic 😁

Who did your mom end up seeing?

Well, it’s fine—the exam isn't painful, which is the main thing 😁 As for the breathing, I've also got at least one nostril constantly blocked. I can manage through my nose during low-effort stuff—like when I'm just hanging out at home, studying, or watching TV. But the second I step outside to run or go for a walk? Mouth breathing is mandatory. It’s like my nose simply can't pull in enough air. :/
Honestly, I should probably just lay this all out for an urologist 😁
Carol Diaz31 said:That’s my biggest struggle right now. I love them as a fashion statement—really, I do—but the light sensitivity is the real kicker; I've been tearing up every time I step outside for two days straight. My doctor told me to leave them off for six weeks, but honestly? I’m playing it safe and going two months. 😁
On another note, my mom is so obsessed with my nose that she actually went to see Bastasic today since Toncic is on vacation. I have to admit, his rates are 😲 😲
jadedriver0 said:It’s been about five years for me—it passes, believe me😉don't sweat it too much😍, but look, this is surgery. Like any other procedure, there are risks; your body might react differently than someone else's. You might bounce back fast, or you might drag—no doctor can give you a guarantee on that. It's your body—your temple—and only it knows what's happening... just make sure your immune system is solid before the big day... and once it's over, take it easy—absolutely no sports for at least six months.😉🙂
Carol Diaz31 said:I can still feel how "fragile" everything is from the break—it’s tender to the touch—so I know I'm nowhere near fully recovered. Not that I've been an athlete for twenty years anyway... 🤣
Elizabeth Collins5 said:No numbness here, just this constant tightness—even when I try to shrug it off, I can't. That area is just completely stiff 😂🤷
stormyharbor2 said:Everything felt fine until a week ago. Now, every time I twitch my eyebrows, it feels like I'm pulling my entire nose up along with them 🤣
Carol Diaz31 said:The worst part is yawning... everything just tightens up, and I’m terrified I’ll end up wrinkling my nose 😁
jadedriver0 said:Look, I don't want to sound conceited—I don't have her nose—but honestly? I think mine is better. Maybe I'm just biased because I actually like what I see in the mirror, but I'm happy with it. No complaints at all, not even one tiny thing (Carol Diaz31, feel free to be blunt 🤣). Besides, I wanted this exact shape; seeing hers makes me realize I would've made a huge mistake going that route—it just wouldn't suit me. I’m incredibly stubborn, so thank Bog I listened to my gut; it was like divine intervention keeping me from a total disaster.🤷, anyway, I'm content.🙂
rustygardener172 said:I have no idea who Dalia is referring to... people travel from all over to see Dr. Glusac. During my last checkup, he was actually operating on someone who flew in from Germany. But honestly, I bet most of our top surgeons get international patients—the prices here are just way more reasonable compared to the States.
P.S. Did you look for any more of Dalia's posts? I'm dying to know if she ended up going through with that other surgery and how it turned out. 😁
Megan Moore76 said:Regarding everyone being discussed on the Forum lately—Smith and Baker are both definitely guilty of it.
So, I wanted to ask something. We all know nobody wants to end up looking like Miss Piggy after surgery, but you guys keep mentioning a "Slide" nose. Can someone give me an example or a photo, please?
