Rhinoplasty: Experiences and recovery tips?

Kate Taylor59 said:Your nose is top tier, and honestly, there's a reason he didn't touch the summit—everything just fits perfectly. 👍
So, here’s how I saw it go down... he told me straight up that he’d work on the top because it looks absolutely pathetic right now. If anyone actually gives a damn and wants to see, I can send it over via DM.

Can you send it to me too? Please!!
Thanks!

I definitely agree that I need to sit down with the doctor and hash out all the details first. Honestly, I'm not just going to leave anything up to chance 😁 can't wait 😁 😍

God willing, it all works out. 😉

So, I’m still caught in this tug-of-war between Glusac and Tončić... honestly, Tončić does a better job with noses. I just got back from my appointment at the clinic, and yeah, his work looks more aesthetic to me—plus, he takes those front-facing photos, which is actually a huge deal for me.
I noticed he’s specialized in otolaryngology too, which is definitely a nice little bonus. 👍
My only real hesitation is the anesthesia part. I’ve been reading some horror stories about girls having issues with it—apparently, they were all feeling something during the procedure. 😕🤷

Kate Taylor59 said:So yeah, I’m still totally torn between Glusac and Tončić... Honestly, Tončić does noses way prettier, I just checked out a thread... and they really are more my style, especially since they have front-facing photos, which is super important to me...
I noticed he specialized in otolaryngology too, so that’s definitely a huge plus 👍
The only thing that's got me a little spooked is reading about some girls having issues with anesthesia, apparently they all felt it 😕🤷

Wait, which thread did you find Tončić's front-view results on? Because everything I've come across so far has just been profile shots...

Emily Reed51 said:And where on his page did you actually find Tončićev's nose job photos? Because everything I've managed to dig up so far just looks like his standard profile.

If you go to his page, click on cosmetic procedures—the nose stuff—and then just scroll down.🙂

Kate Taylor59 said:I mean, I'm totally with them, you just head over to the cosmetic procedures section, then scroll down 🙂

Everything there looks great, honestly, but I always end up on this one specific page and it doesn't even show noses 🙄

Here you go, http://www.toncic.net/hr/kirurski-za...orekcija-nosa/ 😉just in case.

Kate Taylor59 said:Here you go, http://www.toncic.net/en/rhinoplasty-nose-correction/ 😉

I noticed he doesn't really talk about the "perfect" look either... Honestly, there are some seriously gorgeous noses out there. To me, those first two examples were the best looking, but even before surgery, those first two were already pretty solid.😁
Look, these surgeons are going to produce both stunning results and total disasters sometimes... It all comes down to taste, what the patient actually wants, and just the raw anatomy of the nose itself. Everyone is working with a different "foundation" to build on...

Honestly, I only think Curi looks good now with that short blonde hair. Everything else feels kind of meh... I don't see them looking any prettier or noticing much of a difference.
Such a waste of money, the surgery, all that pain... unless it actually helps them breathe better, then it's fine. For aesthetics? A solid 2 out of 10!!!

And why aren't they touching the tip? The tip of my nose is rounded—if they just lift it (which I actually need since it's drooping), I feel like I'll end up with that tiny, bulbous look like what Žanamari has, and honestly? Not a fan. :/

Kate Lee43 said:The only one who pulled off short blonde hair afterward was Curi—everything else looks mediocre. It’s not like they made them prettier or anything; I don't see any actual improvement.
Total waste of cash, surgery, and pain... unless it helps them breathe better, then fine. Aesthetics? 2/10!!

Are you kidding me? Most of the changes are super obvious. For some, it was just about smoothing out a bump, but the difference between the old and new noses is night and day. I don't know how I didn't notice the photos before—I actually really love the results.

Are you kidding me? Most people have such obvious changes. For some, it was just about smoothing out small bumps, but the difference between the old and new noses is just too clear. I don't know how I didn't notice the photos sooner, I actually love these noses.

No, no, I'm not joking, the differences there are minimal and honestly not worth mentioning.
Here is the kind of nose I actually like—I'm not a fan of tiny, pointy noses, but these are still a bit too big and don't look feminine enough for my taste!!!

Unfortunately, I gotta say I’m kind of with Kate Lee43 on this one because, honestly, the changes are practically nonexistent. You can barely see any real difference at all :// personally, I think I'm leaning more toward Glusac than Tončić... especially considering that whole Tončić anesthesia situation :/ I don't know, maybe... 😕

Kate Lee43 said:All I care about is if she ends up with short blonde hair later... that would be good.

Mine looks pretty similar to that—just with much wider bridges and maybe a slightly lower tip, almost like it has a subtle "hook" to it (though most regular people wouldn't even notice).

That girl’s photo was posted on this thread ages ago, and honestly, her nose is stunning from every single angle. Especially from the front—it's just a cute little thing with those narrow bridges. When I first saw her, I actually wanted to go over to Tončić...

Dennis Walker11 said:Unfortunately, I have to admit that I’m on the same page as Kate Lee43 here—the changes are practically negligible. You can barely see any significant difference at all :// Personally, even if Kate Taylor59 leans toward Glusac, I find myself siding more with Tončić... especially considering that whole business with Tončić's anesthesia :/ I don't know about this... 😕

I don't know... Glusac actually managed to give Princess a stunning nose; hers wasn't wide at all. But the real question is, how would he handle my case? Looking at their profiles, I personally find Tončić's noses more appealing, and besides, the guy took an en face photo. Apparently, Glusac's en face work is a total disaster—at least that’s what a few people on the forum and elsewhere have been saying... Tončić tends to aim for a more natural look, and honestly, so does Glusac. You shouldn't expect any massive transformations, especially if someone doesn't start with a huge nose... or one of those "parrot" types.
Looking at Glusac’s work online, his results are all over the place. I’ve seen some noses I actually like, but then there are others that are just a total disaster—there’s one woman whose nose looks like a pig because they lifted it way too high. It's wild. Now, Tončić has been in the game for 35 years, while Glusac only has about 14 or 15 under his belt. But hey, having more years doesn't automatically mean he's better, does it? Not necessarily.
Tončićev's photos were taken with a decent camera; you can actually make out all the details. With Glusac, unfortunately, it's a different story... I can barely see a thing.
Some people were saying there isn't much of a difference when it comes to Tončić... hmmm, I'm not so sure about that. Just take a quick look at the first page—one girl posted her nose before and after the procedure... there's a massive difference there. And then, in the end, you're back to "I don't know," because apparently everything is just relative. You're basically rolling the dice and hoping for the best, and whatever happens, happens.

That girl posted her photo on this thread ages ago, and honestly, she has such a beautiful nose from every angle. Especially from the front—just a cute little thing with narrow bridges. When I first saw her, I actually felt like driving over to Tončić's office.

I’m getting a bit nervous, though. I heard from two different girls that they had issues with the local anesthesia at Tončić's place; apparently, they could feel everything...

wearyotter112, what now? :O 😕

Hey Kate Taylor59, how can you actually be sure it’ll be one of the older docs performing your surgery instead of one of the juniors? Just because they told you so?! What do you really know about who's stepping into that OR once you've drifted off to sleep? I mean, even his son needs someone to practice on eventually... right? 😍

Honestly, I’m kind of digging Glusac’s whole "I'm the best in the business" vibe. It's that exact confidence that makes me feel okay calling the office, hitting up his cell, or firing off an email—knowing he's the one actually picking up the phone and the one actually doing the surgery... 😂

If anesthesia scares you that much, just go see Dr. Glusac—honestly, my experience was great, and right after surgery, while I was still feeling like a total mummy, I was already lying in bed grinning and scrolling on my phone. 🤣

She really used to have that large, prominent hump, and now it looks totally natural, like she never even had surgery. I love that about it.
Personally, I’m not a fan of those noses that look like they just sprout straight out of the face being perfectly flat, which is what I see Toncic doing.

Kate Taylor59—regarding anesthesia, he does it that way because it's the cheaper option—that's why it costs $10 $0.00. You should offer to pay extra for general anesthesia if you actually like his work. Dr. Ivo Dzepina over at the Glumicic clinic is fantastic, so if you're up for it, go to him and ask for him exclusively. He specializes in revisions; he's a true master with 30 years under his belt... Dr. Klapan is also excellent... there are other surgeons in Los Angeles besides Toncic, and obviously, he attracts people mainly through his pricing. Not that I'm biased, but none of Bagatin's noses are worth mentioning, and neither are Ostojic's.
