velvetangler17 said:So, my surgery ended up being about 2,000 bucks, but I’m actually gonna stay at his place in the apartment since I’m not from Washington, D.C., you know? Honestly, though, I’m really happy with Glumičić... at least when it comes to the consultation part. We just totally clicked right away, simple as that. When are you thinking of pulling the trigger? And yeah... I have no clue about payment plans, but you should definitely just talk to them directly about that. pozzzzzzz

Žanamari Lalić didn't do a good job. I mean, looks okay, sure, but functionally? Not at all. Breathing feels worse than it did before...

Where exactly is that information coming from—the claim that his breathing has worsened?😁

She told me the exact same thing... damn, you just can't have it all, can you? 😢

I gotta hear it straight from you... I need to know the real deal firsthand... 😉

I totally get that. Honestly, if I'm being real, the breathing part isn't even my main concern—it's more about how it looks. I'm mostly doing this because that little bump on my nose really bugs me. I mean, that deviation... how do I even put this... I've kind of just learned to live with it, which is definitely not true for my scoliosis... ☕

Well, now I’m really torn—do I endure all this hassle just for the aesthetics? Honestly, making sure my septum is functional is the priority; I deal with constant sinus issues, so there's a chance this might actually help clear things up.🤷

Look, let's be real—Žanamari Lalić just went under the knife for aesthetics. Everyone uses that same tired excuse about "not being able to breathe"... please. It’s the exact same playbook Nika from Feminnem used. First, she claims she needs nose surgery because of a hump, then suddenly it’s all about breathing issues. 😂

First, they claim they need a nose job because of some structural issue, then suddenly they can't catch their breath. It's always the same pattern.😂


I know a few women who went through rhinoplasty strictly for the aesthetics, and they'll tell you straight up—they love how their nose looks now, but yeah, breathing is definitely a bit harder.
It's not even that they're complaining, really—they're just stating the facts.
Some used high-end cosmetic surgeons, while others saw ENT specialists—and honestly, for the ones who saw specialists, the breathing issues seem pretty weird to me.

ugh... everyone's obsessing over deviated septums and breathing issues, but let's be real. aesthetics are king. most people are just getting surgery because they want to look better 😉

What exactly do you mean by "breathing worse"? Is there some sort of medical rule that says breathing becomes more difficult after plastic surgery, or was that just a specific issue for those particular individuals?
To be perfectly honest, I am quite dissatisfied with my own nose and have considered surgery myself, yet I refuse to sacrifice my health or my ability to breathe normally. Absolutely not. 👎

Hey there! I have a quick question🙂. I went to see my doctor to get a referral for an ENT exam—specifically for a deviated septum—at the local Mayo Clinic, and I was wondering if anyone knows if I actually need to make an appointment beforehand, or if I can just show up and see if they can squeeze me in?🤷

I’m honestly not happy with my nose and I'd consider getting an operation, but I wouldn't sacrifice my health or being able to breathe normally, no way 👎

It isn't some universal rule... personally, I breathe perfectly fine 👍 actually, even better than before the surgery, even though I didn't get any functional work done 🤷 but since they basically shattered my entire bone structure, maybe there's some connection there 😕

And do you still need to do the massage part?

Look, here's the deal. One actress in Hollywood has an absolutely stunning nose now.
But before the surgery, her nose was hooked and really wide—you know, a strong, masculine look.
Now, she's got that Angelina Jolie vibe, but her nose is like four times smaller than it used to be, which I think is the issue—it's way too narrow.
So, aesthetically? It's gorgeous. But compared to what she had before, it feels like she's breathing through a tiny straw.
Then there was another woman who went through it with Barack Obama's surgeons—her nose looks fine, nothing crazy, just fits her face perfectly, but apparently, they completely wrecked her nasal lining during the procedure. We're all different, obviously, but now she's dealing with polyps because the airway is so constricted.

The more I dig into this, the more conflicted I get... You truly never know what you're in for. One person gets a stellar result, while someone else ends up with a total mess...
I’ve been scrolling through the before-and-after photos... some look incredible, others are just plain rough. That’s exactly why making a choice feels so impossible.
I'm planning on scheduling a consultation, but I'm still torn on which doctor to see. My sinuses and throat have been acting up lately... would it be smarter to go see an ENT instead?
I watched this video where a specialist fixed a deviated septum in five minutes flat—no bleeding, nothing. Truly impressive work. But honestly, looking at his portfolio online, I wasn't exactly blown away, much like those results from Dr. Miller...

@princess could you please share some of your photos with me?

Ryan Garcia39 said:So, what's your take on this—is there some kind of universal rule where breathing gets worse after aesthetic surgery, or is it just a specific issue with them? I mean, does everyone end up struggling for air, or are we just looking at a one-off situation with this particular group?
I’m honestly not exactly thrilled with my nose, and if I’m being totally real, I’d jump at the chance to get surgery. But here's the thing—I am absolutely not willing to trade away my health or my ability to breathe normally just for the aesthetics. No way, no how. Not happening. 👎

There’s just no logic to it. Someone already pointed this out on here before, saying they would never, ever dream of going under the knife for nose surgery unless the plastic surgeon was also a qualified ENT. Honestly? Same. I wouldn't touch that with a ten-foot pole either!
Listen, people, let’s get one thing straight: getting a nose job is absolutely not the same thing as getting boob surgery. It's not even in the same ballpark. Look, let's be real for a second—our noses actually serve a purpose. I mean, breathing! It’s kind of the whole point, right? Look, we have a nose for a reason—it’s there to do a job, not just to act as a decorative accessory to make us look better or worse. People seem to think rhinoplasty is some simple "drill a hole, shove in the silicone, stitch it up" kind of deal. It’s definitely not. Honestly, nose jobs are easily one of the most complicated plastic surgeries out there. You can't just focus on the looks; you have to account for function too. ENT specialists really get this because they understand that being able to actually breathe is non-negotiable. But when you talk to other surgeons? Well, not all of them are playing it smart. That’s exactly why you see those horror stories where girls end up with a perfectly shaped nose but can barely catch a breath. They prioritized the aesthetic over the actual mechanics, and now they're paying the price.
Look, here’s the deal: if you can breathe just fine right now despite having a nose you absolutely hate, don't go thinking that breathing is going to suddenly get harder once you get surgery. It shouldn't be an issue—unless, of course, you decide to go the route of getting one of those tiny, "ultra-small" noses. If you push it that far and shrink it down to nothing, then yeah, you might end up feeling "ultra light" on air, and that's when you'll actually start struggling to catch a breath. 😂 Look, I’m telling you right now—if you’re dealing with actual issues like a deviated septum, sinus problems, breathing difficulties, or throat irritation, and you decide to run to a plastic surgeon just to fix the "look" instead of fixing how you actually function? Honestly, brace yourself. You can be damn sure that once the surgery is over, nothing is going to change, or worse, you’ll end up feeling even more miserable than before. It’s a total trap.

So, they really need to be both a plastics specialist and an expert from the Orotin area! Given that, who would you recommend in the greater Chicago area? Who's actually worth seeing?

To the girl who sent me a PM asking for those photos, could you please reach out to me? I ended up deleting my post and now I can't remember your username—I've been trying to find casualgardener21, but otherwise, I'm just stuck 🤷
