Comparing Zambelli to some world-renowned, highly respected surgeon just doesn't make sense—really, it doesn't. And it’s even sillier to compare his prices, which are just slightly above average compared to other clinics in Chicago and the surrounding region. How could a plastic surgeon even be measured against a global ENT specialist who has performed hundreds, if not thousands, of rhinoplasties? Of course, those top-tier specialists worldwide have astronomical prices that are totally out of reach for us, but even then, that isn't a 99.9% guarantee of success. Zambelli might be skilled in his primary profession—and we all know what that is—but he’s certainly not the top choice for nose questions. The real question is how good of a choice he is overall.

I mentioned in my previous post that I've consulted with several different surgeons, and honestly, I wasn't truly satisfied with any of them. All the private practices here advertise themselves quite quietly. You actually know the situation yourself! One girl asked about Zambelli and didn't get any response or feedback at all. It was only when comments that weren't exactly "pro-him" were mentioned that people started popping up with names defending him fiercely.

Your story might be true, but don't try to delude yourself. You can only speak from your own experience since you lived through it, I assume. That doesn't mean there aren't other individuals who had the exact opposite experience, and their stories need to be heard too.

Oh, please. Now you're the one qualified to decide whose story is "maybe" true? You weren't the one on the operating table, so you can't even speak from personal experience, yet here you are, boldly bashing surgeons—especially Zambelli, who, from my perspective, is top-notch. I can say that because he solved serious issues for me, just like he did for many others. Once you actually have some firsthand experience, maybe then your posts will carry some weight. As it stands, these stories about "some friend" just don't hold water. Can you name me a single surgeon in America who does a good job with revision rhinoplasty besides Zambelli? Most of them won't even touch a revision because it requires such extreme precision and expertise; it has to be done using an open technique (which is better than the closed one because it gives a fantastic view of the nasal pyramid). The "scar" left on the columella is just a tiny line, thin as a thread—my scar is practically invisible! Plus, you sometimes need to take cartilage from the ear or the rib, which takes extra time and effort. Even the highly regarded Uglešić agreed to do only part of the nose because the rest was just too complicated for him.

I don't check this forum often enough to see every single inquiry about the surgeons I've visited. It’s also interesting how you’re putting words in my mouth by claiming I said Zambelli is ranked among the best surgeons in the world. Where exactly did I say that? Please, quote me.

Everyone has their own taste and the right to choose. There isn't a single surgeon in the world that everyone is happy with. Even the absolute best globally have made cardinal errors. But still, you look at who generally gets good results and knows their craft.

This very forum was what helped me after my primary surgery. Seeing girls who had successfully undergone revisions—their experiences and advice meant everything to me. So, you guys "parachutists" without any actual experience should probably hold back on the lecturing.

driftingheron34 said:A friend of mine actually went to Zambell for her primary surgery, and honestly, she’s barely breathing any better—plus, the work he did was pretty mediocre, despite all those self-proclaimed praises from Dr. G... And while they say patient reviews and official ratings are the best way to judge him, after my friend's experience, I would never choose him. So, Zambell is definitely out for me—not to mention he’s pricey, even more than Glumičić or the other clinics.

I'm not trying to bash anyone or play favorites here, but honestly, it’s just naive to make big decisions based solely on what you read on an internet forum! Over the last two years, I've sat through several consultations and deep dives, and unfortunately, I haven't been able to build any real trust—not with that overbearing Dr. G, who spends more time bragging about himself than actually listening to the patient. Or with Tončić junior, who seems to completely tune out my questions and just hands back these generic, canned responses—it just doesn't inspire confidence at all. And don't even get me started on the other anonymous names, like the Mešter clinic. It’s pretty obvious that since these are all private practices making decent money off us, they have to be incredibly careful about what they say. So now I'm left wondering: who do I actually go to? Tončić junior isn't quite the right choice for me because I really don't want to be his "practice case," especially when I'm paying $10 $0.00. As for Dr. Glusac, I'm also leaning away from him based on my own impressions as a patient—he’s had quite a few hiccups during his career, and since he's all the way out in a smaller city, it would probably make more sense to just find someone in a major metro area.

Is there a fourth option? That leaves Dr. Glumičić, though even he has a million negative comments floating around. Then again, he’s operated on most of the big celebrities in America and even some stars from across the border. I wonder if it’s just bad luck for me, or if us regular mortals just aren't meant to have good results?

Well, for some reason, you're getting pretty defensive regarding Zambell! 😁

I've spent a long time researching nose surgery because my case required a significant "upgrade" after my initial procedure. I looked at surgeons all over the country, and Zambell was really the only one who truly understood and could tackle my specific issue. I even looked into international specialists—but man, their prices are absolutely astronomical.

Around here, private practitioners vary in price depending on how complex the case is. My revision surgery with Zambell ended up costing $2,200, which actually included my overnight stay at the facility. To anyone thinking about getting nose surgery: I honestly suggest saving up a bit longer if you have to. It’s much better to go to someone you can trust completely and be happy for the rest of your life, rather than being stuck with regrets just because you tried to save $200 or $300. Price shouldn't be the deciding factor in something this permanent (though, obviously, a high price tag isn't a magic guarantee either).

Look, forums aren't always the most reliable source (there are fake posts and hidden ads everywhere), but there are also people like us who share real experiences to help others out. When I was actively posting about my situation, I had tons of people messaging me privately, and several of them ended up going to Zambell for their procedures. They were all thrilled with the results.

So, I'll say it again: I truly believe Zambell is the top specialist in the field here. He’s down-to-earth, professional, and he really knows his stuff.

People will always try to discredit him, but at the end of the day, the results speak for themselves. He saved singer Severina's nose, and it’s totally untrue that some "well-meaning" person posted the other day claiming she had to go back for corrections. She's perfectly happy with him—I know that from firsthand information.

Well, I’m finally popping back in after being gone for ages to share an update on this thread!

It’s been two and a half years since my revision surgery with Zambell, and honestly? My nose looks exactly the same as it did right after the procedure. I have quite a bit of cartilage, so I was low-key hoping things might shift or settle—maybe with fewer deformities—over time, but nope, nothing at all. That said, the secondary surgery was absolutely masterfully done. But here is the real kicker—the most important part for me—I can actually breathe! I struggled with breathing issues for years—it was actually the whole reason I decided to get surgery in the first place—and I dealt with constant sinus infections and headaches. Even sleeping was a nightmare because I had to constantly hunt for that one perfect position just to catch my breath (especially after the primary surgery, which was supposed to fix everything but actually made it way worse). Now? I breathe like a normal human being, and I haven't had a single sinus issue since the revision.

I see some people posting total nonsense about Z.—and I say "nonsense" intentionally because I’ve actually sat in his chair for a secondary surgery, so I’m pretty qualified to weigh in here.

My nose looks totally natural now; if you didn't know I'd had work done, you would never guess. After that first surgery, I spent an entire year hiding from people because the bridge had completely collapsed in the middle, and the tip looked... well, let's just say it looked a bit like Blanka V.'s.🤦 Personally, I thought the tip was way too short after the first operation, even though I have what they call a "golden ratio" look now (though, personally, I think longer noses suit my face better). Zambell couldn't extend the tip any further, though—he told me the risk was just too high and that my nose wasn't actually too small to begin with.

My only regret is that I didn't go to Z. for the very first surgery. Long story short, I would recommend him to anyone.

Paul Kern60 said:can you tell me which doctor did your surgery? honestly, every single plastic surgeon I've dealt with so far has treated me like just another "case file"... one famous specialist basically gave me a $67 during my consultation and completely ignored what I actually wanted—he just dictated how it would be done, period. people, please help! I don't want to end up looking disfigured just because I wanted a tiny tweak... I see this happening all the time, so who can I actually trust with my face?

There is absolutely no reason to panic here 🙂

It’s really not that common, honestly—it's more that the people posting on forums are usually the ones who are unhappy or just trying to gather info. People who are thrilled with their rhinoplasty results (which is the most common one) generally don't feel the need to hang out on message boards. They just go back to living their lives after the procedure! If my first surgeon had nailed it, I wouldn't have even logged onto this site. But since things didn't go perfectly, 🙂 so the experiences shared here aren't exactly a benchmark for how things work for everyone else.

I personally know tons of people who've had nose jobs—many of them are beyond happy with the outcome (for instance, the surgeon who totally messed mine up actually did a fantastic job for some of my friends!), but you won't find those happy people posting online.

My best advice? Go see a few different surgeons for consultations. That way, you'll get a real sense of who actually listens and feels like the right fit for your specific needs.

silverorca6 said:Tom Hanks.
...So I'm going to end up with this swelling right at the bridge of my nose that's just going to burst.
Actually, I'm leaning more toward a reconstruction than just a standard nose job. I need everything cleared out and rebuilt from scratch because everything healed all wrong due to this septum that runs off at an angle.

Look, everyone’s nose tip gets swollen after surgery—honestly, don't let that freak you out too much. As for that specific swelling at the bridge you mentioned? Your best bet is definitely to have a real heart-to-heart with your surgeon about it.

Since you've set your sights on Tom Hanks, just be super careful—make sure you walk him through every single detail of what you want and, more importantly, what you absolutely *do not* want.😉

It might actually be a smart move to grab a second opinion from another surgeon, just to be totally sure. I once rushed headlong into a procedure, and let me tell you, it came back to haunt me big time later on. That's why I always tell people: stay cautious and do your homework first. At the end of the day, we're talking about your face here! Good luck!

silverorca6 said:Question for everyone else here: Someone told me my tip is going to swell up and I'll end up with this bump on the bridge of my nose, but they didn't give me a timeline for when that bump actually goes away. It’s honestly so frustrating because right now there isn't even a bump, so I'm terrified I might actually make things worse than they already are!
And you know what makes it even more maddening? Reading all these totally conflicting opinions about a doctor who’s supposedly going to reshape my nose in a month—all while charging me $16 $0.00!!!

Who told you that?

Chris Martin71 said:I had my nose surgery done by Dr. Glumicic and I am beyond thrilled! I’d recommend him to anyone—honestly, all you people talking trash about him have absolutely no clue. You're just spreading nonsense, claiming he's "overrated" or whatever, but that is just plain false. Everything was top-tier, from the procedure to the service itself. My nose looks perfect; he did exactly what I asked for... I had this bump, and he straightened it out, slightly shortened and lifted it just enough so it looks completely natural. No one can even tell I had work done because it’s so seamless—straight, yet fits my face perfectly. Plus, two of my best friends went to him too, and they are also incredibly happy with their results...So, to everyone here dragging his name through the mud and spreading lies, please stop—Dr. Glumicic is truly the best, but good grief, some girls show up with noses that are a total disaster and then expect him to perform some kind of magic miracle—get real! If you're deciding on nose surgery, I highly recommend him; it was totally painless, and after a week, I felt like a whole new person. Even getting the packing removed didn't hurt, and most importantly, my nose is flawless.🙂

I'm really glad you're happy with your result, but personally? He actually pretty much ruined my nose. It was supposed to be a very minor aesthetic tweak—I didn't even have a huge nose or any crazy expectations. The thing is, Glumicic seems to use a "one size fits all" mold for everyone, regardless of what you actually discuss during your consultation, and that’s just a fact.
Nobody here is trying to bash someone for no reason; I honestly wish he had just done the job right for me.
Best,

Kimberly Hughes17 said:Did they use the open technique on you too?
I’ve been hearing—well, people have told me—that the scar can be pretty visible from the side... like it breaks up the line of the nose (the columella)...
Personally, I don't think I'd bail on the surgery just because of a scar. Honestly, I feel like I could deal with that much easier than dealing with this tip shape, so fingers crossed!🤷

Yeah, my revision was done using the open technique. And honestly? I have a cut on my columella that is practically invisible. The only time you really catch a glimpse is if I tilt my head back... but like I said, it's such a thin little line that it’s totally negligible. It’ll look red at first—because, you know, every scar does—but after a while, it fades right out and that’s that!🙂

Nicole Ortiz34 said:I'm wondering what happens with the scar from open technique? Like, will it actually show up later or what?

Honestly, the only "visible" mark is just a tiny little line—kind of like a thin thread—right on the bridge of the nose, and you’d really only notice it if someone was looking at you from a specific angle while you're tilting your head back. For all intents and purposes, practically nobody is going to see it. So, don't sweat it 😉

wanderingnomad13 said:Hey everyone! Just wanted to jump in since this is my very first post here!! 😉

Does anyone happen to know who performed the surgery on jelen Glišić and Miu Franić?

Well, Glumičić was the surgeon for jelen Glišić—and honestly, looking at Mie Franić's nose, I’d bet my bottom dollar his handiwork went there too!

Jamie Reed13 said:By the way—John Smith was always such a sweetheart about scheduling my follow-ups (afternoons, evenings, even Sundays—basically whenever my crazy schedule allowed). And I should mention, he didn't charge me a single cent for any of my post-op checkups (and there were about ten of them in total!)...

Sending out all the good vibes and wishing a speedy recovery to everyone dealing with the same stuff I am...

From what I understand, it’s pretty standard here—surgeons don't typically charge for those follow-up visits after the actual procedure. You basically just pay for the initial consultation and the surgery itself.

Noah Johnson63 said:Is there a good doctor in some other country? Someone who’s actually better than Zambelli.

Well, you definitely have options in the USA 😁—honestly, those guys are top-tier when it comes to nasal specialists and can work absolute miracles. That said, every single surgery is its own unique beast, and things can always go sideways—there's just no such thing as a 100% guarantee anywhere in the world.

And I'm sure there's someone great in Europe too... maybe Italy or the United Kingdom... If you're looking closer to home, though, it seems to me like the best experts are right here in America because I know people travel from neighboring countries just to get surgery done here (and by neighbors, I mean folks from the old regional areas. You get foreigners too, but from what I've heard, they're mostly drawn by the fact that it's way more affordable compared to what they'd pay back home).

Chris Moore3 said:Hey, hey—have you ever gone for a consultation with Ostojić? Apparently, he’s both an ENT and a plastic surgeon! I’ve heard from a few people who had really great experiences with him. If you have, please, oh please, let me know what you thought—how did he react when you laid out your concerns? And honestly, how do they all behave when you show up asking about a revision surgery, besides Dr. Fauci whom you mentioned earlier? I think your insight would be a huge help to those of us currently weighing our options for a second go-around...

I haven't seen Ostojić. I actually know a woman on this forum whose nose he completely messed up—so much so that Uglešić had to step in later to fix it—so Ostojić wasn't even on my radar.

I went to see Zambelli, Uglešić, and Bastajić for consultations. I also had a phone call with Glušac—thinking if things seemed okay, I might just hop over to Miami if needed. We talked for about 40 minutes, but the whole conversation mostly felt like Dr. Glušac was just singing his own praises! And look, I was looking for a serious surgeon because the results from my first surgery were pretty devastating.

Then, I visited Zambelli in San Francisco. Before meeting him, I had this impression that he was sharp and strict—I actually mentally prepared myself for some "grumpy doctor who hates everyone before lunch" type of personality—but he turned out to be the absolute best. He spotted everything that was wrong immediately, explained how to fix it, etc. (I already posted about not wanting to repeat my whole life story here!), and he was such a humble, decent person. He even comforted me by saying my case wasn't actually that difficult.

Dr. Uglešić spent quite a long time examining me. However, he flat-out refused to fix part of the issue, not even hesitating to tell me that he simply wouldn't do it—claiming it was too much work, too complicated, and so on. He only agreed to tidy up the very tip of my nose and somewhat address the deviation.

As for Dr. Bastajić, he didn't even mention a revision as a possibility! He actually seemed surprised that those visible little bumps on the tip of my nose bothered me at all. He suggested doing the surgery using a closed technique... but by then, I had done my homework and knew my situation could only be resolved by inserting cartilage grafts, which requires an open technique exclusively.

In the end, the choice definitely landed on Zambelli. The doctor is thorough, puts in the effort, and honestly, I don't think anyone else in the country could do a better job. He truly cares about his patients and does everything possible to ensure people are happy. For him, the patient always comes first.

Unfortunately, I've experienced firsthand (during that first surgery with a different surgeon back then) what it's like when a surgeon ruins your nose and then refuses to admit they made a mistake. It feels like some surgeons in this country invest way more in their marketing than they do in continuing their education.

So, that's my take on it.

Who knows how many times you'll have to do this—but before any surgery, please, go to multiple consultations. Don't get swayed by sweet talk or charm... focus strictly on the surgeon's focus and expertise. At the end of the day, we're talking about our faces and something we have to live with for the rest of our lives.

Since I’ve been getting a ton of questions about Dr. Zambelli lately, I figured I’d drop a quick post here to clear things up.

So, I actually sent this doctor an email late one night—total midnight thought, I know—and he replied almost instantly! Then, get this, he actually called me the very next day. He mentioned that he’ll soon be making trips to Washington, D.C. every couple of weeks or so to work at a local clinic for minor procedures (so if you just need a consultation, I think he’ll be able to handle that right there in the capital), but right now he’s heading off to a rhinoplasty congress in New York City. I did a little digging on this congress 😁 and, oh my goodness, the speakers are basically the absolute elite of the rhinoplasty world. (I’ve spent the last two years obsessively researching the top surgeons in the States, so when I saw Toriumi and his crew on that speaker list, I knew immediately we were talking about the big leagues.)

As for my own nose—well, it’s been nearly nine months since my second surgery. After my first surgeon completely wrecked my nose—seriously, total disaster—Uglešić agreed to handle just a portion of the reconstruction (he told me straight up that fixing the rest would be too much of a massive headache—yes, he actually used those words!)—Zambelli was the only one willing to step up and take on my case. Now, instead of having a tip like Blanka Vlašić (roughly that vibe), I have a really lovely, natural-looking nose, and—this is the best part—I can finally breathe! If I’m being totally honest, I wish the tip were just a tiny bit longer, purely for aesthetic reasons—it might suit my face shape better—but I’ve realized there’s no such thing as a "perfect" fix, especially when you're dealing with a revision rhinoplasty.

I truly feel like I placed myself in the hands of the best surgeon I could possibly find in the country (at least in my opinion, and believe me, I did my homework!), and my only real regret is that I didn't go to Zambelli for the very first surgery. He’s been so attentive—whenever I have a question (since I haven't been able to make it out to San Francisco yet), he responds, he calls me... he genuinely cares about his patients and wants us to be happy with the results.

It is an incomparable experience compared to that first surgeon—the guy who not only ruined my nose aesthetically but lied to me about fixing my deviation, only to act like he couldn't wait to be rid of me once it was over. Oh, and yeah, he actually suggested just filling my nose with fillers 🙂

Since I got burned *so* badly the first time around, I really want to advise everyone (again 😁) to do your due diligence—go to multiple consultations before you commit to a surgeon. And my heartfelt advice? Definitely go see Zambelli for a consultation. Getting an opinion from a specialist of that caliber is absolutely worth it.

Betty Edwards22 said:If we start talking about skin texture—well, then we’ve officially entered Michael Jackson territory. As for the function of the nose? Zero points. Total bust.

Look, there’s no such thing as a "perfect" surgeon—it’s really about finding someone who actually gets the nuance and treats every single patient like their own unique case. There isn't some magic, one-size-fits-all recipe where you just say, "Fix this nose to look exactly like that one over there." That's just not how it works! You can't just force a nose into a pre-made mold; you have to work with the beautiful, existing structure you were already born with. Trying to flip that logic on its head is a pretty radical concept, and honestly? It usually ends in a total disaster.

Because I’ve got some skin in the game personally, I’m going to sit this one out—I really should stay out of the debates regarding who's actually anyone in America! But honestly, looking back at everything... we really ought to have moved some of those details back to the right gossip threads a while ago.

I think you might have missed my point a little bit! I actually know quite a few people who have gone through nose narrowing procedures, but here’s the thing—for some of them, because their skin is just incredibly thick, getting that really slim, narrow look is basically impossible. So, when you're looking at this, the thickness of the skin is a huge factor that can't be ignored!

As for the second part of what you said—honestly, I don't really see how it’s any different from what I already wrote! It feels pretty much like we're looking at the same thing from two slightly different angles, you know?

placidlynx52 said:Could someone who knows a bit more about plastic surgery help me out? I'm wondering if it's actually possible to make my nose narrower through surgery—like, by what percentage roughly?—and if I can slim down the tip because it feels too thick and looks a bit like an onion.
And if it is doable, which surgeon in the US would be the best choice for something like that?
Thanks so much! 🙂

Yeah, you definitely can slim down a nose. As for how much... well, that really depends on things like skin thickness and your specific anatomy.

Now, just a heads-up—you won't really get specific recommendations here on the forum like, "this exact surgeon is the one for you." It’s all so incredibly individual! It's kind of like picking a specialized mechanic or a lawyer—you really have to go in for consultations with a few different people yourself to see who feels most skilled, who listens, and who you actually vibe with.

Sandra Green81 said:http://www.glumicic-dzepina.com/Easy...=1348662725320

I would totally go for something like this! <3

That’s actually a really lovely profile view. Honestly, when you first glance at it, there’s such a massive difference between the before and after shots—but let’s be real, the new hair color, the different hairstyle, the makeup... they all play such a huge part in the overall look!

But, what I was really trying to get at is that having a prettier nose from the side doesn't necessarily mean the face looks better from the front. Personally, I went to that same surgeon and ended up with a much better profile, but en face... 🤦 So, definitely stay cautious! Generally speaking, surgeons really ought to show before and after photos from every angle—profile, front-facing, three-quarters—just so you can get a complete and realistic impression of the results.

Amy Richardson86 said:HY
I have a quick question. Does anyone know which surgeon is actually the best for rhinoplasty revisions? I'm looking at things like reshaping the bridge or extending the tip... maybe Uglešić or Zambelli??

Look, extending the nasal tip is a super tricky procedure—honestly, I’m not even sure if there’s a surgeon right here in America (or really anywhere else in Europe, for that matter) who truly specializes in that specific nuance.
The real masters of those kinds of complex tweaks are based in the States, and you see tons of patients from all over Europe and Asia—the ones who can swing the cost, obviously—flying across the Atlantic just to get their revision surgery done. Unfortunately, those types of procedures are just incredibly pricey for most people's budgets.

Now, Zambelli and Uglešić definitely have experience with nasal augmentations, but I'm just not certain how much they can handle when it comes to extending the actual tip.
I actually asked both Zambelli and Uglešić about this myself! Zambelli told me it was way too complicated and that I didn't even need it—but I *do* need it, because the way my tip looks right now totally throws off my whole face. Still, he did give me a nose that looks natural now (it used to look obviously operated on before!), I breathe perfectly fine, and considering where I started, it's a massive improvement—even if it isn't "perfect" yet since that tip still needs more length.
And then Uglešić, during my consultation, had the nerve to tell me I have a slightly "button" nose, but that it actually looks good on women! 🙄

So, since we don't have a huge variety of options here in the US when it comes to major augmentations, my advice would be to just go in for consultations with both of them and see exactly how much they think they can improve what I've already got.

Betty Thompson45 said:I know I'll never get that super slim nose look—honestly, it’s not even the width that bothers me, it’s just that the tip stayed huge and one side of my nasal bone is totally flat while the other is just... bump-dent-bump... You know? Since I have a narrow face, it feels like my nose is basically taking up half my entire face right now! 😁
And if the lighting hits that bumpy side the wrong way, I look like someone actually snapped my nose in two pieces! 😲

Do you happen to know roughly what the prices are at Zambell's place?

I paid about $2,400 for my surgery. That price includes staying overnight at their clinic, too. Zambell is incredibly professional and really knows his stuff—seriously. From my own experience, I can tell you that patient satisfaction is his absolute top priority. Believe it or not, it's been exactly six months since my procedure, and since I haven't made it back to San Francisco for a follow-up yet (just been so busy!), Dr. Zambell actually called me yesterday! He wanted to check in on my breathing and make sure I was happy with how everything looks. He's just so down-to-earth and realistic—and I really want to emphasize that, because you run into surgeons who are all sweet talk and self-promotion, but their actual results are pretty terrible. You definitely shouldn't fall for smooth talkers; you've got to focus on what the surgeon actually produces!

Betty Thompson45 said:Hey everyone!

I’m actually getting ready for my second nose job—fingers crossed this one goes way more smoothly than the first... I was wondering if anyone here has ever had to go through a revision surgery?
The surgeon who basically wrecked my nose is totally dodging any responsibility by making excuses—he keeps telling me, "Oh, you just have thick skin, I can't make it any smaller because of your body type" (since I'm about 5'7" and 110 lbs), and then claiming it'll take three years just to settle down. 🙂

There is absolutely no way I'm going back to him, so I wanted to see if you guys have any recommendations for a secondary rhinoplasty? Personally, I'm leaning toward Glumičić because I really love those dainty, narrow noses. 😍

Also, does anyone know if there's any hope that the doctor who "fixed" my nose will offer a partial refund, or at least admit that things didn't go as planned?

It’s true that skin thickness definitely plays a role in the outcome. When someone has thicker skin, getting that super slim look can be a real challenge.
Plus, it’s all about how the nose fits with the rest of your facial features. Some people look amazing with tiny, narrow noses, while for others, it just doesn't quite work.

If you're looking into a revision, you should definitely schedule consultations with several different surgeons to find the right vibe and fit. If I had to pick, I’d highly recommend Dr. Zambell.
