Anyone had a nose job?

Were you pleased with results?
Also price please I think if it’s under 4.5k I could get Dh to agree but more than that no chance.
Mine is too wide after break years ago/ and definitely wonky noticeable so. I have been waiting for nhs referral but they’ve resfused me before. After the last break I can only breath through one nostril.
My sister is getting married next year though so if I can afford to go private I would like to get it done.

Yes I have. I went with MYA cosmetic surgery, and I am happy with the result. My nose is very natural and looks like the nose I should have been born with. With regards to price it was over 4.5k but this depends on you and which surgeon etc.

My dp had his nose broken a few times -sport related injuries. Similarly he had difficulty breathing through his nose.
He went to Lithuania and had it fixed there for fraction of the price it was here. His nose is now perfect and more importantly he can breathe through it. It really is so perfect now.

I always had an awful nose that got worse after breaking it. I had the op 13 years ago and it's one of the best things I've ever done. My surgeon didn't touch the tip of my nose so it looks v similar from the front but removed the hump and straightened my septum.

I had mine done through the NHS because I couldn’t breathe properly. They didn’t touch the tip (cartilage) as that would be deemed ‘cosmetic’ and is perhaps the difference between the NHS vs private op.

I was so self conscious previously and one glance in a shop window could flatten how I felt.

As much as it's scary I can honestly say it's changed my life. I always was ashamed of it and felt like the ugly duckling. To this day, it's so liberating to have lost the thing I most actively hated about myself.

I had a nose job, but it was around 25 years ago, so I can't help much with price. I asked my GP to send a private referral to an NHS Consultant Plastic Surgeon. I felt confident that I would get a great surgeon this way.
I was, and still am, pleased with the results, even all these years later. It definitely helped me feel less self conscious about my face. Remember, though, its not a miracle cure confidence-wise.

Definitely I think I’m realistic about the outcome. I think if my nose could not be the first thing people notice about me that would be my goal.

Just a small word of advice, I haven’t had one but have come across a few people who have. If you wear glasses (and even if you don’t you probably will in the future) a nose job can make glasses very uncomfortable and in some cases make it almost impossible to find a glasses frame that fits!

Op I have had one but in nz. Best thing ever ( and no issues with glasses) Like yours mine has been broken and I could only breathe through one nostril. Because it was the result of an accident our accident compensation scheme here in nz paid for it. NHS do pay in some circs if you are having trouble breathing, I saw a cosmetic surgeon who worked with accident compensation to get them to pay, but yr gp could be a start?

Re wearing glasses, it was six months before my nose fully settled and I could wear specs for extended periods. Since then, absolutely fine.
