The Dark Side of Rhinoplasty Nobody Talks About

Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]My name is Demi and my nose looks I feel I look horrific. My nose looks concave, crinkly. I look like a character from Avatar.

[00:00:12]I feel ugly and it makes me feel so unhappy. When I was growing up, my nose just looked normal. But over the years, my nose started to fall apart. In 2010, I decided I needed to have my nose fixed. So, I had surgery, but it didn't work. And then 3 weeks after my surgery, my nose was collapsing. Now, I have difficulty breathing when I'm sleeping.

[00:00:36]I breathe in my mouth. Wakes me up throughout the whole night. So, I'm not even sleeping properly because of my nose.

[00:00:43]>> A mother of three is right now on life support in a Vietnam hospital after a cosmetic procedure went horribly wrong.

[00:00:51]This is Chloe Moday who traveled to Southeast Asia for rhinoplasty or a nose job and some surgery on her eyelid. The day after her procedure, she went downhill, was in and out of hospital, but wound up in an induced coma with her organs starting to shut down.

[00:01:10]>> My nose job went completely wrong, and I regret doing this so bad right now. The ENT surgeon completely lied to me when he said it was no big deal. He said the recovery was nothing. He said minor pain and then he sent me home with just Tylenol and ibuprofen, but I can't even take ibuprofen cuz it messes with my stomach. He expected me to just heal off with Tylenol. The first night was literally the one of the worst nights of my life. I had so much blood coming out my nose. I could not sleep. I was choking. The blood kept getting stuck in my throat, so I couldn't breathe. I ended up calling the nurs's hotline. I wanted to get stronger pain meds because Tylenol was just not working at all. And then no one picked up the nurse's emergency line. One day, one posttop, which was yesterday, I had to call my doctor like first thing and he finally wrote me for some decent pain meds. But now I am just chasing pain. So, it's really hard to get comfortable. You also have to sleep sitting up. So, that's like impossible for me. I'm scheduled to get pregnant in 3 weeks and I really think this is going to mess with it. My body is so sore and I'm so tired. I'm praying that these next few days the swelling and the bleeding subside and then the pain also goes away. As of right now, I don't feel like it's going to. I'm so miserable, y'all. This is so bad. He lied to me when he said it was nothing. Like, don't trust your doctor. Nose job was 10 times worse than I expected. I wasn't medicated properly. I haven't slept and I can barely eat. I've been nauseous and vomiting as well. I'm miserable. I'm regretting this and I'm praying when I get these splints out that it's like a world of difference and I can say I don't regret this. But as of right now, I am in total regret mode of doing this.

[00:03:04]I've gotten some requests to talk about my emotional and traumatic experience of getting botched multiple times and we're going to do that today. Let's start from the beginning. 5 years ago, I decided to seek out a primary rhinoplasty mainly because I was insecure with the width and size of my nose from frontal view.

[00:03:30]From the front, I had a very typical Asian nose. It was round, bulbous, and had these wide aar flares. I preferred a different type of aesthetic. I wanted more tip definition and a cuter Cindy like tip. I'm pretty sure you guys know who Cindy Wolfie is. I love how her super tip looked. I never research anything about rhinoplasty. So, I just thought Beverly Hills has the best surgeon, so I'm just going to pick an Asian rhinoplasty specialist. I just got married and I wanted to start my marriage with a fresh face. So, I booked my surgery and everything initially went well. I had a 4mm bridge graft. He did use my own rib. Over time, that kind of excessive projection and height caused my nose to deviate. I reached out to my doctor and he understood and saw the concerns and agreed to perform a revision. Fast forward, the revision's done. Immediately, I knew that my nose was even more deviated. I also lost my columla. Everything retracted more and more. I'm not sure if that's because he didn't put enough support or if I had excessive scar tissue, but my nose looked very botched. initially was trying to just brush it off and see how the final result looked, but I just couldn't ignore the fact that it looked so bad from front of view, especially if I slightly tilted my head like this. You can see how messed up my nostrils were.

[00:05:06]I took a bunch of pictures hoping that one day it would just straighten itself out, but it just kept on getting worse.

[00:05:13]I reached out to the same doctor again and asked if he could perform another revision. At that point, I was pretty beaten down. And I I don't know why I didn't decide to research another doctor, but I think I was just so depressed and so tired and sick of dealing with getting surgeries. Even though I was extremely regretful and depressed, I didn't want to let my nose prevent me from enjoying life. Me and my husband booked a few trips with friends and family. I really wanted to just stay home, not go anywhere, but I didn't want to sink lower and lower and let my nose define my life. Deep down, I knew that this nose would eventually get fixed.

[00:05:54]Unfortunately, my third rhinoplasty with the same surgeon also failed.

[00:06:02]It was not as bad as my second rhinoplasty with him, but it still looked kind of botchy. He at least was able to fix the deviation. So, finally, my nose was straight from frontal view.

[00:06:16]But he also extracted another rib and gave me a lower rib graft. It was 2 mm instead of four. He never fixed my columla retraction. So, I still had that blunted, chopped off look. I was so tired of recovering for 3 years and not getting a satisfactory result. I wanted to just give up and just let my face be.

[00:06:38]My weight has fluctuated greatly up until then. I was eating like crap. I was just not taking care of myself. And I decided that I can't let myself go because of an ugly nose. Like, I still have the rest of me. I still have an amazing life. So, I really need to get out of this mindset that my entire life is ruined and I'm done. I decided to get myself back into shape. I was over looking like a slob and a mess. I signed up for a few fitness classes. I incorporated strict intermittent fasting to try to give myself more discipline and control over my life. It wasn't until over one year posttop, I came across these beautiful noses on Instagram. It initially made me so angry and sad that that couldn't be me. So, I was sucked back into the rhinoplasty world and decided that I wanted to get my nose fixed again. I got my fourth rhinoplasty in 2023. Everything went smoothly from traveling to surgery. The nose shape was so much better than what I had. It was more Barbie styled, but that's what I chose. As swelling subsided, the tip graft became more and more visible and I really just wanted to leave it alone. But people around me were asking me what was on my nose. I kept in touch with my new surgeon. He was extremely supportive throughout my entire recovery process and agreed that it can be fixed. I took some time to really think about if I really want a fifth surgery because it was just so mentally taxing going through four years of consecutive recovery. At that point, I was pretty much mentally healed. I was back to myself. I lost a lot of weight.

[00:08:34]In the end, I decided to go with my fifth and now final surgery. I decided to accept whatever was about to happen.

[00:08:42]What's done is done. There's no more rhinoplasties after this. We went through everything in detail, talked about what's possible, what's not possible, what we should risk, what we shouldn't risk, and came to the conclusion that a natural looking tip rotation was best. I'm so glad that he recommended a more natural style for me because I can't stop getting compliments now online and in real life. so happy and relieved that I finally reached the end. Finding the right surgeon is incredibly critical. It should be everyone's priority to spend as much time as possible researching qualified surgeons, reaching out to long-term patients, and getting as many consultations as possible. No one deserves to go through what I've been through. I have to take partial responsibility for not spending any time researching the right surgeon. I've gotten hundreds of DMs and I'm so honored that you guys are reaching out to me for advice and guidance.

[00:09:46]Rhinoplasty, also known as nose job, has become one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the world. Now, before we begin, I want to make something very clear. Not everyone gets rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons. Some people genuinely need it for medical reasons like breathing problems, injuries, accidents, or correcting structural issues inside the nose. This video is absolutely not meant to charge anyone who chooses or needs the procedure. But at the same time, social media has heavily glamorized nose jobs as a quick and easy glow up while rarely talking about the complications, regrets, emotional struggles, and risks that can come with it. Behind some of the perfect before and after photos online are people dealing with breathing issues, multiple revision surgeries, identity struggles and results they never expected. So today we are going to talk about the dark side of rhinoplasty nobody talks about. The side social media often hides and honestly some of these stories are shocking.

[00:10:51]>> Get ready with me as I tell you guys about my rhinoplasty in Vietnam story. I went to this surgeon in district 10, got like a consultation and I showed him some pictures and I said like this is what I want. It was more because like I had a bump here wanted it to be like a slide. When I got there I thought I was going to be asleep but they started doing the surgery and like I was awake.

[00:11:16]This surgeon like he didn't speak much English. I was like I guess this is happening. Like I'm awake and they're doing the surgery. After that I was looking pretty banged up. Like I've got some pictures. I'll add them. But I was like the next day I looked so bruised.

[00:11:31]After a week I went back and they took the bandage off and I just knew straight away like it wasn't what I wanted. But he was like, "It's swollen. Just wait for the swelling to go down in a month and then see the swelling goes down. I'm still not happy with my nose." He finally understands like it's the side, it's not the front. And he's like, "Let's just do it again." What I read online is you're not supposed to have a rhinoplasty surgery until 1 year after because then it's it's not fully healed yet. So I booked another appointment for a month later. So 2 months after my first surgery, one week after I booked the appointment at American Guy, the clinic I was at with the surgeon I used, he died from an anaphylactic shock doing surgery closed. No, no more doctor, no more surgeon, no more clinic. Honestly, taking that as like a sign from the universe.

[00:12:29]>> It's been five months since that um really famous doctor from Beverly Hills bots me twice.

[00:12:39]We see here his achievement.

[00:12:43]I'm not going to talk about the interior of the nose.

[00:12:48]It's not happening.

[00:12:52]That's the breathing as well.

[00:12:55]It will have been two years in January since he bought me the first time.

[00:13:02]Uh there's no afterare of course. They don't care. Uh he got only called me 3 months ago when I posted my first video and he panicked and he asked me to take it down because I was reading his name.

[00:13:20]Uh, I don't know what to do.

[00:13:23]I have to wait so I can get it fixed again.

[00:13:29]Uh, of course, I need a refund because I I can afford to to pay for one more uh surgery. All my savings went there. Uh, he's not willing to give a refund. So, I don't know how this will go. Uh, he believes that out of nowhere my nose will turn out to be like 10 out of 10.

[00:13:51]This nose. Okay, we're talking about this nose.

[00:13:54]There's a dent here, but you can't see it. I think um yeah, I have also um started uh searching for some uh surgeons in Turkey because I only can go there.

[00:14:16]I searched for um the most of recommendations I had here on the comments, but unfortunately even the the top ones, they had one or two bad cases and I was like, what am I supposed to do? Like I I can't risk it anymore because it will be like my fifth time, my fif fifth time to to get it done again. Like what am I supposed to do? I searched everyone uh all the recommendations I had here.

[00:14:49]Uh I search on Google. I search on um Real Self. Uh I search everywhere and all of them uh have at least two or three bad cases.

[00:15:03]Uh I found two more like they were good.

[00:15:06]I didn't find any uh any bad reviews so far. Uh but still I can't text them because it's too early. It's been only 5 months and they of course I'm not planning on going there now. I know that I have to wait at least for a for a year but they don't even accept my pictures because they want to see how the swelling will go away after 8 to 9 months. So I can't even text them and they have to wait. But I keep searching and searching and I don't know but it's like it's terrifying that still uh there are women who are texting me and telling me that they had a bad case uh by the same doctor like 3 months later after I posted the first um video.

[00:16:02]there are still women out there uh who have been bought by the same doctor and I was like wow where's so many really weird like I don't even know and yeah that's that's not good at all I don't know what else to do I have to wait I really need to get a refund back u there's no other way to get fix if he doesn't give me a refund I I do need it like he puts me twice is and yeah he told me just don't go to Turkey because they will b you just come here I will b you myself you know it's like yeah you don't have to travel there I can do it myself and I believed him and they went back and he gave me that no words like if anyone has any recommendations for Turkey only Turkey Uh I I can't go anywhere else.

[00:17:05]I would appreciate you know uh any surgeons.

[00:17:12]Yeah.

[00:17:14]Story time on how I had two botched nose surgeries and four nose surgeries all in total. I first broke my nose in 2017, 7 years ago. My surfboard flew up while surfing and it came down and hit my nose. They had said it was the worst break they've ever seen in their entire lives. I went to emergency surgery the next day to get it put back in place and that's all they could really do at the time. The end of 2017, I had broke my nose again from my surfboard hitting it again. And that time I had a deviated septum. But a deviated septum you can't fix until you're 17 years old. So I had to wait a couple years. So after waiting many years when I turned 17, I just wasn't ready yet. I was so terrified of this setolasty. just having my nose done again cuz it was so painful the first time. So I waited a year till I was 18, 2023 and I got it fixed. I had a septtolasty done which they went through here. They peeled it up and they fixed everything in there. After a week with the cast on when I got it taken off, it kind of looked crooked. So my mom told her it looks crooked and she said, "Oh, it's just the swelling. Don't worry, it'll go down and everything will be perfectly fine." Everything wasn't fine.

[00:18:21]And it actually was extremely crooked.

[00:18:23]So she had this plan that she's going to go back in. She had a whole game plan.

[00:18:28]She didn't take college for anything.

[00:18:29]She used the same college that was in there and she said it was going to be perfectly easy. Everything was going to be perfectly fine. So it was a rhinoplasty this time. When I came out, you can see from the photos down here that my nostrils were completely different sizes. It was caving in. As you can see by casting it off, it was really crooked again. And she said it was cuz she put injections in so it just appeared that way. But when the swelling went down again, it was going to look better. After a month of waiting, it was even more crooked than the last time. So I she was going to come up this whole game plan that she was going to take collage from my ear. And I was like, I'm not comfortable with her doing my surgery. So I shopped around for other surgeons here on Aahu. And no one was comfortable doing my nose surgery because it was so messed up until I got my doctor and he was very confident about the surgery. He knew exactly what he was going to do. I see his befores and afters. So I was super comfortable with him. So I went along with the surgery. This is this time. I am currently five days posttop from rhinoplasty, a septtolasty, a trioplasty I think it's called, and one other thing. And also a rib graft. The pain has been like nothing I would wish upon anyone in this world. My rib, my nose, everything is so bad. I went in for what he thought was going to be a 3hour surgery. Well, 3 hours went by. He called my parents as I was in the operating room and said I think it's going to be more to a 4 to 5 hour surgery. 4 to 5 hours went by. It was actually came out to a little over a 7-hour surgery because when he went in there he said it was so so much worse than they could have ever imagined it to be. She had there was zero cartilage in there. She had sutures up here which he said he's never seen before. you don't leave sutures in a nose because it causes infections which I had multiple infections in my nose from that. And it was he said if I hadn't done the surgery it would have completely collapsed. He said that this was my absolute last try for nose surgery. So I'm just praying that everything turns out good. Um I'm praying that the graphs take because that is something that you have to worry about infections. So far, everything looks amazing, and I'm just so thankful that it's all done with, and I just hope that the outcome is good this time. My nose used to be so extremely bad that I hate to look in the mirror. I would cry about it all the time. I couldn't breathe from it after what that lady caused. And it's just so crazy because I went in for a pretty simple septtolasty and I'm here four surgeries later and two botch surgeries. All the pain that I went through is insane. And now to the story of a young lady who went to her dentist to get her wisdom tooth removed and somehow ended up getting a rhinoplasty. How is that even possible?

[00:21:16]Honestly, this is one of the craziest cosmetic surgery stories I have heard in a while. And what makes this even sadder is that she didn't originally go there because she hated her nose. She went there for dental work. But somewhere during the process, the conversation shifted from wisdom tooth to rhinoplasty, which eventually went completely wrong.

[00:21:39]>> I signed up. Let my dentist do my nose job.

[00:21:41]>> Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Your dentist did your nose job?

[00:21:44]>> He removed my wisdom teeth. And almost a week later, I was on the operating table to have a rhinoplasty.

[00:21:50]>> Call me crazy, but shouldn't dentists do dentistry and plastic surgery be done by plastic surgeons? The first thing I noticed when I look at Elmira is her beak-like nasal. There's such a big downturn hook on her nose. It looks bad.

[00:22:03]>> My dentist took my wisdom teeth and my beautiful Persian nose. I went to get my wisdom teeth removed. The dentist brought up how my septum was deviated and that could have caused some of my headaches. So, I'll go in there, fix your septum, and you shouldn't have any difficulty breathing and it should help with the headaches and such. And knowing that my dentist was a two-time Ivy League grad, I felt like I was in perfect hands. As time went on, my nose was more and more asymmetrical. The doctor took away one problem and gave me three new problem. Indentation right here. He gave me the asymmetry. The nostrils were not even identical. I wish I never had touched it. I know that if my dentist never mentioned anything to me, I probably would have never had a nose job. We don't use him as a dentist anymore.

[00:22:44]>> Does that hurt at all?

[00:22:45]>> It's just awkward.

[00:22:46]>> You have no support on your nose. Your nose should not be able to do this. And that look inside your nose. That's good.

[00:22:53]So, they overdid your septum and that's one of the reasons why your nose is falling. Let's talk about the procedure.

[00:23:00]We need a cartilage to rebuild the nose because the doctor took too much and that's one of the reasons why your nose is droopy.

[00:23:05]>> Hearing Dr. Nassiff tell me that part of my nose is pretty much hanging really upsets me because you would think that the last doctor would have known this letting me walk out of his office.

[00:23:16]>> This side's collapsed. This side's not collapsed.

[00:23:19]>> Elm's nose is in bad shape. There's no support to the nasal tip. It's dangling.

[00:23:24]She needs my help a lot more than I expected.

[00:23:27]>> The plastic surgeon who I feel wronged me and caused me emotional lifelong damage. All I had asked for was a slope and a lifted tip. Slight slope, by the way. Basically presented this procedure as a walk in the park. Nothing he couldn't do. I saw how easy he thought this was, and I honestly felt pretty good about it. I was like, "Okay, if he thinks this is so easy and like so doable, let's do it." After sitting down and speaking with her plastic surgeon, Samara felt pretty good about the situation.

[00:23:52]>> Super important side note here. We walked out of that office without a quote. Hey girl. Well, can you tell me the total? He said that your total will be $21,000.

[00:24:03]However, we decided to go through with the surgery. I had to make a life-changing decision in practically less than 5 minutes. The reason he was late and very visibly upset was because a receptionist at the surgery center messed up his sandwich order and this made him angry. Very angry for someone who's about to cut someone's face open.

[00:24:22]Right from this point, my surgery was supposed to have started 30 minutes ago.

[00:24:27]It is at this point where he tells me he does not think he can do the slope and lifted tip at all. So, he asks me to pull up a picture of what exactly I'm expecting. Why are we asking for a reference picture 20 minutes before I'm going under the knife?

[00:24:41]>> What did I do to my face? Got my nose done about 4 months ago. Let's talk about it. I originally got my nose done because honestly, I was just in a silly, goofy mood. I have been thinking about a rhino for many, many years, but I never pulled the trigger. And then there was just so many backto-back events that happened in 2025 that really had me in a mood. And I was thinking, I need to change something in my life immediately.

[00:25:01]I needed a change. And if I couldn't change certain factors in my life, I was like, what is the fastest thing that I can just quickly change about my life right now? So, I book a flight. I go to Turkey. I don't even tell anyone. I don't invite anyone. I'm like, I'm going to just go and do it. Thankfully, I had a friend that wanted to join. And then I had a friend there in Turkey. I got my nose done. This is what I asked for when I went into my Rhino. I told him, I want my side profile to be the exact same.

[00:25:27]The thing is, I loved my side profile before. There was nothing wrong with it.

[00:25:30]That's the problem is I only liked my side profile. I only took photos if I was looking this way or this. I can't always make my videos from the side, you know, my front. Make it skinnier. Make it cuter. Make it a little cutesy pop. I don't want her to be pointy. I don't want her to be too skinny. I don't want her to look crazy. I even did like some AI generated images. I told him, "Can you do this?" He was like, "Yeah, we can do this." And even better. I put my trust in his hands. I did the surgery.

[00:25:54]Come out. Disaster.

[00:25:57]What did I do to my face?

[00:26:00]Then I decided, you know what? Let me just be patient. I called every single friend that I knew that had a rhino and was crying on the phone. Is this supposed to be the swollen? What am I supposed to do? Everyone told me the same thing. Be calm, be patient, and eat a lot of pineapple or drink a lot of pineapple juice. Now it's month four, I think three or four, and this is my nose now. A lot of people tell me they prefer my old nose, that they think I lost my Arab touch with my new nose, like I look more Asian now than Arab. Every single day that I wake up and that I look at old photos of myself and my nose, I have the same two thoughts. Wow, I regret doing my nose job and I miss my old nose. And wow, I'm so happy I did my nose job cuz I hated my old nose every single day. So, yes, it is an ongoing journey. Apparently, it takes 6 months to get used to the nose. I'm still not there yet. I don't really know what foot to stand on, but what do you think? If you saw my old nose, here are things people won't tell you about getting a nose job. Before I get into it, this is my before and after.

[00:27:01]You can take a look. I'm 6 months posttop and I'm going to be super transparent with you. A lot of times people come on the internet and they make the process sound super seamless, super easy. I'm here to tell you that's not the case. Getting surgery was one of the most painful things I have ever done. And that's what getting a nose job is. It is a full-on surgery. You are under anesthesia. I am 22 and at this point in my life, the only surgery I've really gotten, which doesn't even count as a surgery, was my wisdom teeth removed. So, I was kind of comparing it to a wisdom teeth removal, which it's not comparable to at all. Honestly, the least scary part of the entire procedure was going under anesthesia. I thought that going under anesthesia was going to be the worst part of the entire procedure, but no. The most painful part was the week that I had my split in and my cast on. To be honest with you, I thought everything was going to be seamless because online people were like, "Oh, it doesn't hurt that bad. It doesn't hurt that bad." On day three, I was walking around and I was so good.

[00:28:06]No. For me, I was literally in bed that entire week except on the seventh day.

[00:28:12]It was my birthday. So, I forced myself to get up and go to a restaurant. And that was fine only because I knew the next day I was getting my split and cast off. The entire week after surgery, the only thought in my head was, I am such a [ __ ] idiot. Why did I get this surgery done? Like there was nothing wrong with my nose. Why have I put myself through this much pain? Because again, like for a week, you're not doing anything. Also, my doctor told me that the procedure was going to be painless, which it wasn't. Okay, next thing that people don't tell you on the day that you go to remove your cast, that [ __ ] hurts so bad. So, basically, I went with my mom to go remove my cast. Okay? And I was so excited. I was like, "Finally, I'm not going to be in pain anymore. I won't have this like annoying thing in my nose and my headache will subside because the headache pressure cuz they put these huge tubes just right up your nose and they wrap it. So, you have a massive headache, pressure from a headache, and all of your teeth are in, they have so much pressure on them, they hurt really badly. So, I'm here thinking like, "Okay, this is going to be great."

[00:29:18]They tell my mom, they're like, "Okay, you need to leave the room."

[00:29:23]And so, my mom leaves the room and I'm just like, "Okay, maybe it's cuz blood is going to come out or something." When I tell you removing that cast and the splint, they had to cut off the stitches. Take It hurt so bad. I was balling crying. Like I was holding on to a stress ball. I was just balling crying so hard cuz it hurt so so so badly. And then finally the split and everything came off. And I thought I was just going to go home and feel perfect. And for the rest of the day I was still in so much pain. I still had such a bad headache.

[00:29:54]And I was like really really just shocked from how much pain I just went through in the doctor's office. Next I got my nose job in during my winter break of my senior year of college.

[00:30:06]And I thought I was going to come back to college and like everyone was going to notice my nose job. Literally no one noticed. I think it's only like only like my close friends who I told I was getting a nose job noticed because they knew I was getting a nose job, but like no one else like really noticed or cared. Um most people were like, "Oh, we didn't notice anything changed about you." Which honestly was kind of like a plus. I thought I was going to have to explain myself to everyone. Before I got my nose job, I also had really terrible under eye bags. Somehow after my nose job, my eye bags managed to get so much [ __ ] worse. Like even now covering them up with concealer is like kind of hard, which I used to like cover them up all the time. I think it might have been because of like the trauma to my face that my eye bags just got worse. I don't know. But honestly, now that I'm 6 months out, I don't regret it at all. I would have still done it. I like my nose. It's not a crazy difference. Like from the side profile is, but not really from the front. But I really love my nose and honestly, I can't imagine not having got this surgery. So, I'm happy about it and I'm excited to see it the swelling kind of go down and see what it turns out to look like. Anyways, bye guys. Love you.

[00:31:25]>> Every surgery people want to do, they're always worried about it being terrible.

[00:31:28]nose jobs or rhinoplasties is highest on the list because it's right on your face. You can't even hide it. So, here are five things I want you to pay attention to during your homework research or any of your consults that should help you avoid that catastrophic outcome. Number one, if you go to a doctor's gallery and you see a bunch of Barbie noses, super rotated, super small, unless that is, of course, that's what you're looking for, that's a bad sign. Frankly, if you see one, it's a bad sign because at the end of the day, I would never leave a patient looking like that. Number two, during your consult, breathing is never mentioned.

[00:32:00]In other words, you go, you do your consult and you told them your breathing is fine, and they never mention breathing to you. Your nose was designed to breathe, not to look good, and your breathing will be affected. Number three, you want to make sure that during your consult, structure is mentioned.

[00:32:14]What structure? During all my surgeries, I add structure to your nose. Even if your nose is smaller, so that in 10 years, it doesn't end up collapsing.

[00:32:23]Number four, if your entire consultation revolves around a morph, that is you do use some app, you morph it, you're in trouble. I don't use any morph because I think it's misleading. And lastly, if the surgery is relatively cheap andor too affordable, that means that they're doing a lot of them, which means they do them quickly, which means they do a traditional 1-hour in-n-out rhinoplasty.

[00:32:45]My rhinoplasty takes me 3 and 1/2 hours.

[00:32:47]So that tells you the amount of time and effort that's placed. I think these five things will really help guide you. And so at the end you end up having a nice outcome.

[00:32:55]>> At the end of the day, rhinoplasty can be life-changing for some people, whether for medical reasons or personal confidence. But it's also important to remember that behind the glamorous before and after photos online. There are real people who have experienced pain, regrets, complications, and emotional struggles after surgery.

[00:33:15]Social media often makes cosmetic procedures look quick, easy, and risk-free. But the reality is far more complicated. Rhinoplasty is still a serious surgery and nobody should feel pressured to change their appearance because of trends, filters, or unrealistic beauty standards online.
