Nose JOb???

Hello, I am seriously starting to think about getting a nose job. I think I am okay from the front but hate my profile. My eyes and face are so soft and my pointy nose makes me look rough. If you have gone through this before can you tell me some of the costs, recovery time, etc. THanks!

1. It's up to you to decide, but I wouldn't get a nos job if I were you. You're probably pretty as it is! Plus, some people's face get ruined when they get nose jobs.
2. People will think you are fake...
3. ok, people won't think you are fake, if you don't get a botch job, obviously..and i'm asuming your going to a good plastic surgion, which means it will look natural, hense not fake. i hate people who tell you not to get it because they wouldn't. if you are that uncomfortable with it, go for it, nothing wrong with a self esteem booster..just don't get addicted. http://www.docshop.com/education/cosmetic/face/rhinoplasty/ i've never had it done, but here is a good site with some info. all i can say is do your research, good luck :)

Enhancing your appearance with nose surgery While the shape of your nose is usually the result of heredity, the appearance may have been altered in an injury or during prior surgery. Also known as rhinoplasty, surgery of the nose improves the appearance and proportion of your nose, enhancing facial harmony and self confidence. Surgery of the nose may also correct impaired breathing caused by structural abnormalities in the nose. What can surgery of the nose accomplish? Rhinoplasty can change: Nose size, in relation to the other facial structures Nose width, at the bridge Nose profile, with visible humps or depressions on the bridge Nasal tip, that is large or bulbous, drooping, or too upturned Nostrils that are large, wide or upturned Nasal asymmetry and deviation Is it right for me? Nose surgery is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image. Surgery of the nose is a good option for you if: Your facial growth is complete and you are 13 years of age or older You are physically healthy You stop smoking You have specific, but realistic goals in mind for the improvement of your appearance What to expect during your consultation The success and safety of your nose surgery depends very much on your complete candidness during your consultation. You’ll be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle. Be prepared to discuss: Why you want the surgery, your expectations and desired outcome Medical conditions, drug allergies and previous medical treatments Use of current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs Previous surgeries Your surgeon may also: Evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors Examine and measure your face Take photographs for your medical record Discuss your options and recommend a course of reshaping your nose Discuss likely outcomes of a nose surgery and any risks or potential complications Discuss the type of anesthesia that will be used Preparing for surgery Prior to surgery, you may be asked to: Get lab testing or a medical evaluation Take certain medications or adjust your current medications Stop smoking well in advance of surgery Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding Special instructions you receive will cover: What to do on the night before and the morning of surgery The use of anesthesia during your nose surgery Post-operative care and follow-up Your plastic surgeon will also discuss where your procedure will be performed. Surgery of the nose may be performed in an accredited office-based surgical center, outpatient or ambulatory surgical center, or a hospital. You’ll need help If your nose surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night following surgery.
5. don't mind what people will think about your nose job.. after all, you won't be doing this for them, but for yourself.. truth is, if you look better, others will complement you for taking care of yourself.. cost for rhinoplasty is around $3000-$8000 depending on procedure involved.. i've seen a friend with the suture under the nostrils so the stitches are barely visible, and will be removed after week... you also have to apply cold and hot compresses for the bruises that will fade away fast. the only precaution needed is to avoid unnecessary bumps during the healing stage.
