Does anyone know how much it costs? I need a really good surgeon, since it's not a matter of straightening the bone, but narrowing the nostrils - requires a very skilled doctor.
I asked hubby to make a gift to me, but he said he didn't want to help me get prettier for another guy. This is not about guys; they will like me equally with my current nose (how funny that sounds! ). It's about me. Just like we color our hair, put make-up, and dress nicely, because we care about our appearance, I want a new nose. I've had a nose job before, but it was a part of a health surgery and nothing really changed. It doesn't hurt and the whole discomfort is equal to a 5-day bad flu. I am totally prepared for this, I just need to find a good plastic surgeon. I also wanna fix my belly, I have some bad stretch marks after my twins played house in it for nine months.
This reminded me... my kids told me that I have an ugly belly button long time ago. I told them that I used to have a beautiful tight tummy and now it's gone because of THEM. They never told me anything again, but they did ask me if I regret having them, cuz they ruined my belly. I told them they were worth it. And they are.

I was told by someone in the business that women after a divorce flock to plastic surgeons like crazy. I guess it's the same thing as women cutting all of their hair off after a breakup.
I would NOT do anything about your nose during a time like this. You should NEVER do these procedures when you are going through any emotional situation. (although that's when most women do)
You only want the nostrils done? I don't know if they charge less for that or not but that's a lot less work for them to do than moving bone. I would think the rate varies by the area you live in but I would guess about $3000 if you are getting JUST nostrils.

Thanks for the replies, girls, but I really didn't ask for support. (Geez, I am soooo rude! ) Just kidding.
I've been thinking about this for a long time. It's not even a self-esteem thing, it's just a beauty treatment.
After all, feeling like new after a breakup (new hair, new clothes, new condo, new nose...) certainly feels better than looking at old pictures in your old pajamas with a bunch of tissues... for your old nose that looks like a red bell pepper from so much crying.
Lizzie, I am dying to have a friend like you - you're a futuristic woman.
(I'd just never let you come near my future husabnds).

Thanks... and just so you know... I have always cherished my female 'frienships' a lot more than any of my male friends...
My 'best friends' come right after my children... I would NEVER hurt them..
I would NEVER EVER even consider having something with my friend's husbands or bfs... and they know that...

I've heard it from hair stylists and I've seen it in women that I know. I know I've read about it on forums as well. I don't remember if I saw it on any links but I'll check.

Yep, I was told that by those working in the offices. I went to a PS's office that also had a spa (I went there for the spa). I went there numerous times and the stories that I heard.......
The (oh now you're going to make me try to spell it.....the profession that does cosmetic work such as laser hair removal, permanent makeup, etc....)
Anyway, she would tell me how after a divorce women come in and get boob jobs, face lifts, permanent makeup, etc.....
She was a hoot!
She even told me about an older guy who was on the personals site that I was on who would always bring in his current girlfriend for a boob job. Everytime he got a new girlfriend....he was back in there again. I said "Hey...give me his name!"
Thanks but I have to agree to some degree...but not necessarily about cosmetic surgeries which are drastic measures...
A different hairstyle, make-up, or even changing the decoration of the bedroom is common.... but I am not so sure about cosmetic surgeries... a lot of women are afraid or went they find themselves single, they don't have the money to go through those expensive procedures.
I'm not sure there's such a thing as a "nostril job". If you want the end or tip of your nose narrowed, as far as I know, they still have to go up through the nose and file down bone/cartilage, etc. to attain the desired result.

I've heard the same thing, and in my case..true.
RP,
Ask your GP to recommend a few people.

I had a nose operation about 8 years ago. I interviewed with 4 different surgeons (make sure they are licensed PLASTIC surgeons!!!). The lowest quote I got (this was for straightening the nose which to the experienced eye was a little crooked) was $3800. Mine ended up costing $12,800 by an Asian doctor in Beverly Hills I can give you a referral for (prob. costs more today). It was very subtle, nobody straight out could tell but would say I looked 'different' or better.
Almost all nose jobs are obvious unless you go to the best ones out there so it's one place you don't want to skimp on costs for. If I were to get any plastic surgery today, I'd go to my electrolysist plastic surgeon who works on celebrities - does work that is not obvious but costs a lot so basically it depends on what your budget is because there are a lot of them who will do it for a small fee but you get what you pay for at the end of the day.

I am Italian and my nose is slightly larger than I would have liked, though it never seemed to bother anyone else.
BUT, its such an integral part of the face ! I ALSO have big eyes, wide mouth and other dramatic features so I always felt like I would look like a fish with a teeny tiny WASP nose.
You've seen those types in hollywood where their nose, just doesn't fit the rest of their face. Personally I can spot most nose jobs a mile away.
I've seen your pics ( pretty !) and I don't think slightly narrower nostrils will change anything that much. I can totally undertstand the desire to " hotten" up, after a divorce, but thats seems a bit much, why not start with a hair color change and new wardrobe or something ?

Fun's right. And melody, you can only spot them a mile away (I can too) if they're not done by a top surgeon. Top surgeons don't do the "cookie cutter" noses...you know the ones.
You know I've thought about this for a long time myself.
RP, do you want to make a subtle change or a complete change? The nose is such a focal point of our face...some change is bound to make you look very different, no?
I'm still struggling with whether I'd actually go through with a NJ. My ex wouldn't hear of it. He said he would be there for me if I absolutely had to do it, but he wouldn't support the decision. My bf thinks my nose is "just fine".
I am still sitting on the fence with this one.
