Man, first I read it was 9 or 10 thousand dollars, then they said 12, and now suddenly it’s 14 at the end😲 😢 and all I have is 12... 😢
By the way, does the whole thing have to be paid upfront, or...?

By the way—does the full payment have to be made upfront, or is there some other way to handle it?

You took the words right out of my mouth—how much do your consultations cost?

Send those pics my way too!! 😁 😍

I'm actually heading to see Glumicic in mid-June myself! 🙂

Look, he didn't charge me for the consultation at all... and honestly, he hasn't charged me for a single follow-up visit either. He’s actually super chill about money if you need to work something out; I've heard from a few people that he can be incredibly flexible with his fees when it counts.

First off, I really want to give a huge thanks to rustygardener172 because if it weren't for her and those photos she shared, I probably wouldn't have ever gone to see Dr. Glusac. I had surgery about two months ago. Honestly, my nose was terrible—it was wide, bumpy, high, and looked broken... I just hated it. But now, I finally have the beautiful nose I've always wanted. My profile looks perfect, even though the tip is still a little swollen. The bone area is still puffy too, but even with the swelling, it looks much better and slimmer than before. He told me he actually had his work cut out for him since I had several old fractures there. The whole thing was supposed to cost $2,000, which means $4867, but the doctor ended up only charging me $1,400 and told me to take that extra $600 I saved and buy something nice to help me recover faster 😍

I’d warmly recommend Dr. Glusac to everyone. If you have any questions at all, I'm happy to answer them 👍

Since this is only my second post on the forum, I know a lot of you might be skeptical about my story. But I'm really not here to promote anyone; I just want to help girls who are still hesitating, just like how rustygardener172 helped me 🙂

My profile looks perfect, even though the tip is still a bit swollen. The bone area is still puffy too, but even with the swelling, it's already narrower and better looking than before. He mentioned he had his work cut out for him because of the multiple fractures I had. The procedure was supposed to cost $2,000, which means $4867, but the doctor actually only charged me $1,400 and told me to take the extra $600 and buy something nice to help with my recovery 😍.

I’d warmly recommend Dr. Glusac to anyone out there; if you have any questions at all, I'm more than happy to answer them 👍.

Could you please share some photos? 🙂

Since this is only my second time posting here, I totally get it—half of you are probably rolling your eyes and thinking this is some kind of sales pitch. But trust me, I’m not here to hawk products or anything; I just genuinely want to help any girls out there who are sitting on the fence, feeling exactly how I felt before rustygardener172 helped me find my footing. 🙂

Don't mention it, honey! 😘
I'm actually super curious about those photos too, so if you ever get a spare minute, shoot me a DM with a few. I'd love to see if our results look similar or if we're dealing with completely different situations. 😬
I am seriously so happy to hear everything worked out for you!!!!

I can do it too, if you're up for it. I'm just wondering if I've already seen your nose on my computer screen 😬

I believe Glusac doesn't actually charge for consultations, and if I recall correctly, he might even accept certain credit cards for other payments... I think.🙂

That’s just not true; he definitely charges for them 🙂. He charged me $67.

Get lost, and if it's not an issue, I'd love to see those photos too 😁.

Honestly, the whole thing with Glusac is just hilarious to me—like, does he actually charge people or not? Is anyone even sure anymore?
It seems like he just does whatever he feels like, probably just whenever someone happens to be his favorite!

It seems like he just does whatever the hell he wants, probably based on whether he thinks you're cool or not!!

Look, seriously... it wouldn't have even been fair if he’d charged me... We had an agreement back in Miami, and I show up there, totally lost, calling him on my cell to ask where the hell I was supposed to be, but the guy completely blanked on me... He’d headed off to San Diego because he was giving some lecture at a big plastics industry conference... so there I am, chasing him down to San Diego... He ended up doing my exam right there in the hotel lobby just a few minutes before his presentation started... while all those plastic industry types mentioned on this forum are literally walking around us. And get this—the guy actually mocked me, saying I should have just stopped them one by one to get their expert opinions since they were all standing right there! 😁

Ha ha, yeah right, like you could've handled all of them at once!!🙂
Honestly, based on all these stories, I don't doubt his skill, but man, his organization is a total mess. Doesn't he have medical staff working in his office, you know, to handle scheduling and keep things running? He can't be expected to be everywhere at once answering calls! It honestly baffles me. You can't just be a doctor and forget you have a patient appointment because someone walks in from outside and you lose track of time!!!!😕

Was Dr. Glusac the only one you went to for consultations?
And what was the deciding factor for you that made you choose him for the surgery?

amberbadger81 I can't even begin to describe what they’re saying... It’s honestly unbelievable.
Hahshahah, seriously though, you really had to go and do everything all at once, didn't you?! Talk about overkill!🙂
Look, based on everything I’ve heard, I don't doubt his medical skills for a second, but man, his organizational game is absolutely nonexistent. It’s honestly baffling. Doesn't he have any medical staff or an office manager to handle things like scheduling and keeping the whole operation running smoothly? He can't exactly be everywhere at once, answering every call and managing every detail solo. That just doesn't fly. I mean, seriously, how can you be a doctor and just... forget you have a patient scheduled? You can't just have someone walk in from the waiting room and suddenly completely blank on the person you're supposed to be treating. It's wild.😕

Hahshahah, that’s just classic Glusac for you—the guy insists on doing absolutely everything by himself. 😁 So I gave him a call and told him straight up, "Look, I'm coming over," and what does he do? He just starts losing his absolute mind and throwing a complete tantrum about everything. Honestly, some people are just impossible. 🤣 Look, I have to apologize because he really did have to head out. He was totally banking on me showing up later—honestly, you can never pin down an exact time with him. It’s always the same deal: he just tells you, "Yeah, I'll be at the clinic from 9 to 1," and then you just show up whenever and hope for the best. I thought about just wandering around Miami for a bit to kill time while I waited, but I actually had other things lined up for this afternoon. I was planning on heading over to Savannah to catch up with some friends. Glusac even went as far as suggesting I just send him my address so he could swing by my place as soon as his lecture wraps up. 😁 Absolute legend!! I swear, I was the one who suggested I just hop on a plane and head straight to San Diego immediately... I was getting seriously impatient! 😁

They definitely charge, but I think they billed me 100 instead of 200. Do you remember which number I gave you? I totally forgot...😂

Princess LOL, yeah, I know how that goes. 🤣

I'll send them over once I dig up those old photos and download these ones from the camera.. 🙂

Glusac wasn't the only one I went to for consultations—there were actually quite a few doctors in the mix—but honestly, this guy told me more via email than everyone else did during our actual sit-downs. (Plus, he was the only one who didn't charge me just to talk..) What I liked most about him was how he just asked what I actually wanted, and then he was like, "Okay, we're going to do this and that," and that was it. He’s just so sure of himself, you know? Not like most of the other doctors who kept going on about how risky everything was, or how maybe it wouldn't turn out exactly how I envisioned, or how complicated the whole thing would be... I mean, my nose had already been messed with at least four times before this surgery, so everyone else seemed a little shaky about the results. Well, everyone except Glusac..
