The surgery is for both aesthetical and functional purposes. I have a really bad deviated septum, which directly interferes with my breathing. Also, the shape of my nose has bothered me since childhood. Self-confidence is of the essence of living a successful and happy life, and I feel like the shape of my nose correlates with it. Thank you for reading and I hope I can get some advice!!   | ||

Don't use the yellowpages. That's all I know about plastic surgery. | ||

I would recommend seriously looking into it. The difference even a slight improvement to breathing can make is huge. | ||

I feel the deviated septum reason seems like a bit of a sidewinder rationalization to cover up the fact you really just want an aesthetic nose job given that you've grown fine past childhood despite your "breathing problem." But it's your choice. Don't use the yellowpages. That's all I know about plastic surgery. Don't listen to this guy, being psychoanalyzed by strangers over the internet rarely works out well. You should know yourself best. Other than that I can't help you lol. | ||

so yes, for medical reasons or not, it's totally legit to do it. now if it's a small imperfection... then maybe not, and it does cost some cash sooooo at the end of the day in my opinion it's a cost benefit decision and the benefits are quite legitimate nvm D; can't find research to back up my claim | ||

But it's your choice. Don't use the yellowpages. That's all I know about plastic surgery. What a clever comment. I guess dentists should just stop giving kids braces, you can eat food with crooked teeth just as well. On topic, my gf has had a nose job a couple years ago and she is extremely pleased. Keep in mind the procedure is for life and can easily be botched by a reckless or bad plastic so you should take your time and visit several reputable clinics, talk to the surgeons and see if they are pros or hacks. A good doctor won't rush you into it and he will be able to recommend a shape that isn't copied off Heidy Montag but is actually tailored to your face. The more natural it looks the better. Don't be cheap about it, a good plastic charges a lot of money. My advice would be to find a couple medical or nose job forums and really take your time to see which doctors received feedback from thrilled patients and which ones get flamed a lot, also take a close look at the before & after photos of their patients. Then go talk to at least two doctors and choose the one that is taking it easy and seems to be genuinely concerned about your face as opposed to your money. After it's done you're good to go in 14 days or less. With a good job, chances are you will look a lot better if your nose is too large or particularly distorted now, because this draws attention to it instead of the pleasant parts of your face. My gf easily went from 8 to 9 with the job ^_^ I'd say this can be a really good choice if you find an above average doctor - and a really bad one if you're sloppy or cheap about it and end up being messed up by some newbie or "mass production" doc. Gl with your new beak! | ||

I think a more important question is how much does your nose bother you? | ||

Anyway, if you think it will benefit you, make you more handsome/confident or just improve your overall quality of life, then do it, why do u ask. The procedure is afaik pretty disgusting but not particularly painful (and even it was, who cares) | ||

Even though it has some functional issues, I suppose. | ||

"The septum and nasal passages are lined with a layer of soft tissue called the nasal mucosa. To repair the septum, the surgeon works through the nostrils, making an incision to separate the mucosa from the underlying cartilage and bone. The doctor trims or straightens the bent cartilage and then replaces the mucosa over the cartilage and bone." ( googled that passage ) Then they'll stick plastic pieces and sand filled balloons up your nostrils to fixate the pieces so they stay in place. Most likely you'll have to stay a few days in hospital so they can keep an eye on you. After a few days the doctor will pull out the balloons and start hoovering the snot out of your nose. And some days later you are good to go home with a protector on your nose, that'll have to stay a few days | ||

It's scary though because if I change it, there's no turning back. I don't even know how I would look with a normal nose, and what if it doesn't look natural at all? I really want to get a nose job, but at the same time it's really scary. Ugh, decisions... | ||
