After hating my nose since I first realized it looked shitty when I was seven years old... After knowing full well that if I had a more proportionate nose, I would look like a model (Morphs confirm)... After years and years of research, saving money and picking a doctor... I AM *NOT* GETTING A NOSE JOB!!!

(For reference, my nose has a slightly high bridge, is a bit wide, has a bulbous bifid tip with skin so thin you can see the cartilage through it- it has a slightly deviated septum and points off a little to one side- has noticeably two different sized nostrils!!! The real crazy part is... I'm still kinda cute with this monstrosity!!!)

Anyway - Why?! Why would I curse myself forever with this nose?!!

Well- I breathe really, really well (no snoring either!) My nose is also very strong, can't push the tip down. Like you can't. Takes a punch like a champ! After reading about so many people who can't breathe the same after a rhino... I just can't do it to myself. I gotta breathe, man. I GOTTA BREATHE. I was also really interested in becoming a boxer. I thought - it's either nose job or boxing. Well, looks like boxing's back on the menu, boys!!

I suppose I shall have this wacked out honker for life! And LOVE it! Not because it's pretty... Because, for the first time ever, I just appreciate how I've never had a single breathing issue EVER.

I used to scoff when people said "learn to love your nose" and rightfully so- it's ugly! No, I was never going to love this thing for its appearance! It's utter nonsense when people say "but it's so *original*" yeah- originally UGLY.

I didn't try to love my nose. Just reading so many people's struggles with just being able to breathe made me love my nose against my will.

Still not sure if I really want to go through with it, or even go more conservative (just tip plasty.) But if I decide to go all the way, and get a super feminine nose, it will be Erdil.

That's the thing here. Is all that matters is that it looks more feminine? Honestly, as a woman, probably.

Edit: I've decided not to get a nose job! Am I insane?! Kinda, my nose is slightly awful and definitely brings down my appearance. Why have I decided not to do this, then? Well- I breathe really, really well (no snoring either!) My nose is also very strong, can't push the tip down. Like you can't. Takes a punch like a champ! After reading about so many people who can't breathe the same... I just can't do it to myself. I suppose I shall have this wacked out honker for life!

For those who've had this:

1. How much did it improve your nasolabial folds?

2. What kind of filler did you use?

3. How much filler did it take?

4. How did the doctor ensure safety (ultrasound?)

5. Did it lift your upper lip any?

6. Were there any complications?

7. How long have you been getting your pyriform fossa filled?

8. How satisfied with the procedure are you overall?

Did it work for you, and did it look natural?

I hear a lot about how many people are shocked by how their new nose looks, that they don't look or feel like themselves. For some people this feeling passes, for others it doesn't...

But who here didn't feel this way? Who immediately (or somewhat quickly) felt that they looked as they were supposed to look all along?

If you had a successful rhinoplasty in one of the southern states of the USA would you post your doctor's name? Price as well as before and afters also appreciated!

I've checked out Niyazi everywhere. Hard to find negative reviews of any kind. On realself and trustpilot, the positive reviews constantly use similar wording 10/10, 5/5, 5 star, 100%, "painless." The pics of the women who are supposedly making these reviews are almost always Instagram looking types.

Whenever I post a thread about him here on reddit, asking for first hand experience from real patients I get crickets.

I found on Facebook he has a 74% positive rating Niyazi. There are several "this is a con artist" reviews, interlaced with more "10/10, 5/5, 5 star, 100%, painless," wording reviews.

Anyone else have different information, or noticed the same thing?

If you are pleased with your Turkish Rhino surgery, please post doctor name, date of surgery and price. Also appreciate before and afters, but if not comfortable the rest of the info is still very helpful.

Hoping to reveal most loved Turkish Rhino Docs this way!

Used to never wear anything on my lips (I like to kiss my boyfriend a lot lol.) Then I found no transfer lip liners and started wearing them in nude beige shades (just recently.)

I line the outside and color in just a little bit not to the center of lip. It blends so well, don't need lipstick or anything, or even to fill all the way in. (Settled on Wet n wild Bare to Comment lip liner.) I have neutral fair skin and tannish/pink lips naturally.

Noticed it makes my lips look fuller (because the pale outside line that normally kinda disappears into my skin is defined.)

When I go out, I often get some appreciative comments - but after I started wearing this lip liner I was hit on by at least one man at every single place I went! And I mean HIT ON.

I mean- holy shit! Men like lips!!!

Discuss!!

If you've had a lip lift, please post your before and after with cost, doc, and experience with the procedure! (If comfortable, of course.)

So many people are interested in this procedure, and it's hard to get reviews you know aren't scripted/doctored!!

Hi there, I'm considering getting a tip-stitch-only rhinoplasty, as what I want to happen is reduction to bulbous tip and wideness in the lower third.

I do have some asymmetry, however, so not sure this is an option for me (may make asymmetry look worse), and I know the results are also very subtle, debating on if the results will be enough.

Who here has had a tip-stitch-only rhino? Would you post your results/talk about your experience?

I am petite 5'3" 100lbs, 32"-25"-31", 15% body fat. As you can imagine, I have low waist definition due to my measurements and look a little boxy. I have no fat to take off to improve this situation. I am lifting to build more butt to try and improve this look.

I was considering ribxcar very seriously (esp considering the incredible price of roughly 3k at Soulya Mermaid) but upon further, exhaustive research, decided I will have accept my boxy waist.

My research revealed that everyone I could find reporting on the outcome of this procedure long term (after the three month long 24/7 corset wearing period of recovery) said that their waist reverted to its regular size or nearly so, results completely unnoticeable.

NOTE: made this post to tip off others. If you have different information, it is appreciated!

I'm considering this doctor. I have consulted with some US doctors and have not been impressed. I will continue to look for US doctors, unless my consult with Niyazi goes so well I choose him. (I'm also considering just getting a tip stitch rhinoplasty, though this may not be an option for me because it could make the asymmetry, if unfixed, more noticeable.)

For reference: My nose is slightly wide in lower third with a bulbous tip, has two different sized nostrils, points off in one direction slightly (deviated septum) and is bifid (can see cartilage through my very thin skin.) It also has a slightly high, straight bridge with a small hump.

Niyazi's work looks exceptional. I want to keep my straight bridge with small hump. I only want a tipplasty. If the deviated septum goes into the bridge, I may decline having it fixed or may let them fix it.

I see examples of straight bridge work done by Niyazi, and lots of front views of his patients where the nose doesn't look wider from the front after surgery.

TLDR: Who has had work with/experiences (consults) with Niyazi? Anything anyone knows about him is appreciated. If you had work done, pics appreciated!

My concern is that what I'm seeing of Niyazi could be airbrushed/scripted reviews, people who work for the clinic pretending to be reviewers, etc.

Too many Turkish surgeons show only the side or partial side view, no good full front views.

I'm considering Turkey for surgery because when I talk to US doctors they seem intimidated by my nose. I'm not asking for a drastic result, I even say "just tip, no bridge work maybe?" And they have gingerly suggested I get bridge work done, too, however adding disclaimers such as (paraphrase) "You don't expect your nose to be smaller, do you?" (I didn't ask for it to be smaller, just nicer shaped, however their apprehension all together makes me think they are flat out intimidated.)

For reference: My nose is wide with a bulbous tip, has two different sized nostrils (deviated septum) and is bifid. It also has a slightly high bridge with a small hump. I have very thin skin. It actually doesn't look at bad as it sounds, but obviously not ideal.

Anyway, beginning to think that it may be impossible to better shape the last third of my nose without getting bridge work, too (based on doctor reactions) and am bothered that I can't get good front views from Turkish docs. I would definitely rather keep my high bridge and not widen the nose from the front if that is the trade off. I also kinda like my slightly high bridge.

Considering Niyazi Altintoprak because people say such wonderful things and his work looks good. Afraid he only does Barbie noses, however. I want a straight bridge.

TLDR: Give me your experience with how your Turkish bridge work looks in front view, and who was your doctor?!

Like the title says, how many here were discouraged by others from getting a rhino, only to end up with a much better face when you did it?

She told my stepdad not to tell me she wasn't taking her insulin for a month. I already know why, she was planning on "you're too busy and don't care about me" guilt trip when the inevitable hospital trip came. I'm forty she's 64.

She knew how high her sugar was getting, I'd asked her when she was semi conscious if she's been testing it,.she said "yes." (It was 1000 when she was taken by ambulance to hospital.) I'd asked her a couple days before if she was alright, she seemed weird. She only replied that she "had a doctor's appointment in a little while" I said, "we should talk about that, you don't seem well." She didn't want me to thwart her plans, she knew she was sick as fuck and WHY.

Stepdad begged her to go to the hospital to get insulin, she refused (he told me this later, at the hospital.) When he called the ambulance, it was only after she'd fallen unconscious and couldn't bully him into stopping.

After the initial total panic in the emergency room, making sure she didn't die, my brain came back. My evil ass mom had finally pulled some shit like out of my horrible childhood, now that I'd let her near me for a little while. She'd seemed better. Really, I just wasn't living with her. I should have known. All she does is talk shit about my stepdad and he waits on her hand and foot.

In front of everyone in the hospital, once she was stable and conscious, I said, "Cut the bullshit. You did this on purpose. If you die pulling shit like this, no one will feel guilty. I'm on to you."

No one said anything, not uncomfortably, more "Finally!" They knew it was true, she's such an asshole to the nurses, even they knew.

Later, when she tried, "how could you?!"

I told her she was a "walking scam." And "I didn't care what she had to say."

I left, didn't go back.

Told my step dad I won't talk to her anymore.

Apparently, her antics went way up at the hospital, screaming until she's sedated, demanding to be taken to hospice so "she can die" (she's not going to die.)

Preparing for what it means to be NC with a mom in very poor health who no one else will speak to (is totally alone.) I was the last person besides my stepdad (who is also in poor health, I help him, too) who will have any contact with her.

My step dad didn't defend her at all, and seems to accept my stance with respect.

My mom lost her primary care due to being 65 and them making her use Medicare now. She ran out of insulin and didn't tell me. Her husband had her taken to hospital in an ambulance when she collapsed and he called me. I came to hospital. Her body creates no insulin on its own.

They told us her sugar is over 600. We've been here for four hours and they won't give her insulin. She still is in an altered mental state has no idea where she is.

I asked the doctor why and when on insulin. He told me it's dangerous to give it to her because her potassium could bottom out and they're waiting on tests to see if she needs electrolytes. I've been looking this up online but can't get straight answer.

Is this correct? She needs some fucking insulin what the fuck, they're trying to tell me she "may die" if she gets the medicine she needs?
