Does anyone happen to know if there is actually a way to correct armpit wrinkles, and if so, what the process entails?
I am wondering whether this can be addressed through natural methods or perhaps via cosmetic procedures, and more importantly, is it even a realistic goal to achieve?
Thanks in advance! 🙂

Isn't it standard that ENT specialists handle the ears, throat, and nose, while dentists manage the oral cavity?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, because this truly puzzles me.
To be honest, the whole concept of plastic surgery puts me off a bit—as if it's just something you can opt into on a whim. Don't laugh at me, please, just hear me out; for instance, I have a slight thickening of the cartilage at the bridge of my nose, and isn't there a way to just... "smooth it out," if you know what I mean?😕
And the more I watch those medical reality shows, the less interested I become... good grief, some of their procedures look as messy as my grandmother stuffing a turkey for Thanksgiving...🤣

You seem to want to combine convenience with effectiveness, but man, it doesn't quite work that way. You’ll need to address the actual medical issue with an oral surgeon first, and then once your nose has healed, you can deal with the aesthetic side exclusively through a plastic surgeon... I know you, you aren't the type to mess around with this; you want everything fixed all at once, but I'm afraid that isn't how it goes. Besides, why not just book a consultation and see for yourself what they tell you? (It will most likely be exactly what I'm telling you right now...)

Patrick Davis9 said:To be honest, I don't really see much of a distinction here. My decision wasn't driven by vanity, but rather by my health; I don't actually have any issues with how my nose looks. However, I am planning to go private to get this fixed because ever since the surgery, my nose doesn't drain properly at all—instead, everything just flows straight down my throat. It is at its worst when I’m sick, making it impossible to sleep through the night because I’m constantly choking on that drainage. So, when I head in there, perhaps I can have them touch up the aesthetics slightly, though I intend to keep it minimal so I don't end up looking like some kind of freak.

If you are seeking treatment for medical reasons, you would typically consult an oral surgeon...
but if your goal is to refine the appearance of your nose, you really need to see a plastic surgeon, as rhinoplasty falls entirely outside the scope of oral surgery.

Oh, regarding that doctor's estimate, believe me, I was absolutely stunned myself... thirteen thousand two hundred just for the surgery,$50 including the consultation and $200 all the diagnostic tests... isn't it just terrifying?

So, I finally stumbled upon this thread, and it has left me with quite a few questions. 😁
Has anyone here gone through with rhinoplasty to narrow the nasal tip? I find myself wondering about the practicalities of it all. Is there a specific age where one should consider this, or is it purely a matter of personal timing? What does the price tag typically look like in the US, and what can one truly expect regarding the recovery process? If you have any insights at all, would you be willing to share them?
Thanks. 😍

I actually started my own thread about rhinoplasty about two months ago. At the time, I was incredibly driven to make this happen—constantly researching, asking endless questions, and eventually sitting down for a formal consultation. Now, the date is set; my procedure is scheduled for three weeks from today. I’ve decided to go with the specialist in New York City, and the total cost is going to be around $14,000. Everything feels perfectly aligned, and honestly, I can hardly contain my anticipation for the transformation.
