I am honestly so incredibly sorry that you ended up choosing the wrong doctor, but please try to find some comfort in knowing you aren't alone in this. If you're looking for a way to make things right, maybe reach out to Dr. Glušac and ask if he’d be willing to help fix the situation? I can only imagine how much this must be weighing on your mind. My own mistake is going to cost me dearly too, but at the end of the day, we are responsible for our own choices, and instead of sitting around drowning in guilt, we have to take action to correct them—assuming, of course, that you have the means to do so. My advice? Don't wait. I'm planning to go back to Dr. Glušac after the summer to fix my own error, as he was able to spot the previous doctor's blunder immediately, though as I mentioned before, that's a whole different conversation altogether. 😠, while Dr. Glušac is 👍, so please, everyone, think twice about whose hands you're placing your life in. 🙄

rustygardener172 said:If you want a nose that actually looks good, traveling is absolutely worth it. 😁As for potential complications... honestly, if things go sideways, you’re going to be in a tough spot regardless of where you are in the world. But let's be real—in this day and age, those kinds of issues are incredibly rare.

Bravo, I truly applaud you for that response! That is exactly what I used to say myself, and man, did I learn my lesson the hard way. I once went to a doctor who lived just thirty minutes away from me, and he completely botched my procedure. I won't get into all that drama since it's not the main topic, but it taught me a massive lesson. I know for a fact that a girl flew all the way from Australia to see Dr. Glušac because she heard his work is top-tier. Personally, even though I live six hours away from Dr. Glušac, I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else; I'd travel that distance every single time to see him. Now, two of my close friends are planning to go to him for their own rhinoplasty because they are absolutely obsessed with how mine turned out. What is a few extra hours of driving compared to spending the rest of your life walking past store windows, catching your reflection, and wishing your face looked better? Take it from me—that's some solid friendly advice.😉

William Robinson49..., I just finished reading about everything you went through, and honestly, my heart is so full knowing that it all went smoothly! I am truly crossing my fingers that more people start choosing Dr. Glušac for these procedures; if we can get more patients opting for his expertise, maybe we’ll see fewer people having to deal with the nightmare of repeat surgeries down the line. Just a little tip from me—grab some saline solution and use it to rinse out your nasal passages; it makes such a massive difference and should help you feel way more comfortable. We are all eagerly waiting to see you this Sunday, so please, do keep us posted!😉

Gregory Barnes5..., I sent you a private message, but I also wanted to let all the other ladies know that Dr. Glušac and the tip of the nose are handled using a closed technique. For my part, I don't feel any pain at the very tip of my nose whatsoever—unlike some people who mention they've lost sensation in that area entirely. Everything feels perfectly normal to me. 😂

William Robinson49, I am honestly so thrilled to hear you’ve decided to go with Dr. Glušac. Please, please do reach out and give us an update once you're through with your surgery; hearing about your experience would be such a huge help to all the other women here who are still feeling stuck trying to pick the right specialist. And don't you worry one bit—the entire medical staff is absolutely wonderful, and Dr. Glušac is truly a master of his craft! 🙏

Kate Lee43..., I’m not entirely sure if you had a chance to read my response via private message, but I felt it was important to elaborate right here on this thread—specifically regarding my nose. To give you the full picture, it used to be quite wide and slightly upturned, so much so that Dr. Glušac actually remarked that it had a more prominent, ethnic look to it—you know, the kind of feature often seen in certain diverse heritages. It was also quite long, with two distinct bumps on either side between my eyes, though they were very pronounced. Dr. Glušac explained that this was largely due to my skin being incredibly thin. Well, my dear ladies, let me tell you: those bumps are completely gone, it isn't wide anymore, and it doesn't look long at all! Honestly, I am just beyond thrilled with Dr. Glušac's work; I have several close friends who went to other surgeons and ended up feeling quite dissatisfied with their results. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention—the doctor emphasized to me that my old nose was a "true masculine" feature. I hope I've managed to cover everything for you now. If anyone is curious and wants to see the results for themselves, please feel free to reach out via Skype; I truly don't mind sharing my face with you. I'm only here because I want to make your decision easier and ensure you know you'll be in safe hands. I’m heading back to work tomorrow, so I won't have as much free time to chat, but both rustygardener172 and I have been completely sincere with you—we just want you to be as happy with your outcome as we are.

Honestly, I had my surgery with Dr. Glušac last night, and by this morning, as soon as he started his rounds, I went straight in to have those nasal tampons removed. I have to tell you, that was the one thing I was absolutely dreading; I’d spent so much time reading horror stories online about how painful and unbearable it is, and I was just terrified. But I am telling you from the bottom of my heart, it wasn't anything at all! There wasn't even a hint of pain, not even when he was clearing out my nose. I truly thought that would be the hardest part of the entire correction process, but he knows exactly how to handle everything—he has this perfect technique where he just pulls them out so smoothly. I honestly don't know how he does it, but I am just so incredibly eager to get back to work and show off my new nose. IN MY EYES, DR. GLUŠAC IS A TOTAL GENIUS!

I really hope you managed to catch my reply in your inbox. Once I get around to taking some pictures, I’ll be sure to send them over so you can see exactly what Dr. Glušac was able to achieve—honestly, the results are nothing short of incredible. And let me tell you, once you see those little bumps have completely vanished, it gives you such an amazing sense of relief!

rustygardener172... I am just so incredibly happy that you’re sharing your thoughts with me! It truly warms my heart to hear that you are absolutely thrilled with the fit of your new glasses. Honestly, if someone hasn't experienced that kind of transformative change, they can't even begin to fathom the pure bliss we're talking about here. I find myself feeling much more composed and calm lately, just catching my own reflection and realizing that this is exactly—and I mean exactly—the look I was dreaming of. If a stylist actually managed to nail my vision perfectly like that, I think I might actually burst into tears of joy! Sending you so many warm wishes, and please know how much I appreciate you reaching out.

Hey ladies, I just spent about ten minutes straight staring at my nose in the mirror, and honestly, I still can't believe how stunning it looks! Even though there's still a little bit of swelling, the shape is absolutely PERFECT—it has completely transformed my entire face! I seriously feel like calling Dr. Glušac one more time just to shower him with thanks. If I could give you all one piece of advice, please don't rush when choosing your surgeon; you really need someone who truly understands how to sculpt a nose correctly. And oh my gosh, girls, there isn't even a single visible scar because everything was done using a closed technique. It feels like I was never even under the knife, except for the fact that I am constantly admiring my sweet little nose and how gorgeous it turned out.

My dear ladies, I’m finally reaching out to you all for the very first time! Even though I’ve been a silent observer since February, reading through every single one of your comments, which honestly helped me so much. That’s exactly why I want to jump in now—to make things a little easier for all of you when it comes to making the right choice. Over those few months, I tried contacting so many different doctors, or rather their nurses, because the doctors themselves are always swamped or away on business trips. Usually, the nurses are the ones setting up these "consultations" that lasted maybe three to eight minutes—it was absolutely dreadful. I was starting to feel pretty burnt out by the whole ordeal until one girl on this forum posted after her surgery and mentioned Dr. Glušac from Malibu. After that, I went down a rabbit hole reading everything I could find about him and decided to give his office a call. And oh my goodness, what a wonderful surprise! The doctor himself called me back directly. He was so kind and personable that I could hardly believe it; I asked him every single thing on my mind, and he answered every question with such genuine attention and a sincere desire to help me through this. It was just one more massive, resounding YES for choosing him. My husband and I coordinated our vacation time and headed out to Malibu, where Dr. Glušac welcomed us on Sunday. He even organized our accommodations and sat down with me personally to discuss every tiny detail I was worried about (and I emphasize *Sunday*, when most doctors wouldn't spare a patient a single minute!). I won't bore you with every single tiny detail, so let's get straight to the surgery. He actually picked me up in his own car (unbelievable!), and once we arrived at the clinic, I was greeted by the anesthesiologist, a nurse, and the surgical tech. They were so relaxing and funny that I didn't have a single shred of fear left in me. We used enhanced local anesthesia, but honestly, I slept through the whole thing—just like being under general anesthesia, believe me! Once I woke up, I felt nothing. No pain at all, girls. The doctor even showed me the little bumps he had removed before driving me back to the hotel.
I slept like a baby, and the next morning, he came by to simply remove my packing (it didn't hurt one bit!). Afterward, my husband and I went out to explore San Francisco as if nothing had even happened. Then, the following morning, my sweet little doctor came by to do a quick cleaning of my nose and chatted with me about a few other things I was curious about. Ladies, the man is a genius—call him and get your noses fixed, seriously, just put yourselves in his hands. It’s my fifth day post-op today, and I just got home yesterday, so please, ask me anything you want to know!
