9 Questions About Nose Jobs You Want to Know (But Are Afraid to Ask)
I just got a nose job, and while there's a ton of useful information already out there about the things you're curious about, I'm going to answer questions you have about rhinoplasty that most likely won't show up on the Mayo Clinc page for the procedure...
The doctor who did my procedure was Dr. Dara Liotta, a double board certified cosmetic and reconstructive facial plastic surgeon in Manhattan who specializes in rhinoplasty. She says she adores her LGBTQ+ patients and gave a special shout-out to her trans patients. "I love my trans patients. There’s a lot of mental work that goes into anyone’s decision to have plastic surgery, but there’s so much empowerment about that kind of plastic surgery in particular," Dr. Liotta tells PRIDE. "It’s basically the reason that plastic surgery is not ridiculous. Even though it’s cosmetic, it’s can also be like therapy. My favorite compliment is when people have a [procedure] and then say, 'When I see a picture of myself I look like how I feel.'"
I can tell you that after rhinoplasty, you see 85 percent of results in a month, but it takes a full year to see full results. While this is really important information, there's also a ton of other things you'll also really want to know. Like when can you go dancing and wear makeup again? When can you have sex? Dare we ask about drugs?
Here are some answers to nine questions you have about getting a nose job (but that you likely won't find on most medical sites).
