Where to Get Your Nose Done

Where to Get Your Nose Done

November 28th, 2007

Dear Mr. KIA: I’ve got a serious problem. I‘m falling in love with a new boy in my class but his close friend tells me that he only likes “perfect girls”—OK, I’ve got big pretty eyes, little pink lips and a cute smile, but I also have an ugly nose. My friend suggested I get a nose job but I don’t know where to get it done.—Lovely Girl

Dear LG: You feel insecure and rejected because this guy likes “perfect girls.” But there is no such thing as a perfect girl. Or Santa Claus. Or the Easter bunny. If this guy doesn’t realize that, then he truly is too stupid to be worth your time. And if he doesn’t like you, that sucks, but there are loads of other great single guys out there. Like me . You like older guys? Anyway, get over it. This guy’s an idiot. That said, if you want to undergo this procedure because this is something that YOU want and will make YOU happy, fine.

Before you get rhinoplasty surgery (a nose job) the plastic surgeon will evaluate the structure of your nasal bones and cartilage, the shape of your face and the thickness of your skin. You should be over 17 and should inform the doctor about any nasal conditions like allergies or special medications. A nose reshaping usually takes an hour or two—a short inpatient stay.

Clinic Soi 1. Appointments recommended. B30,000 for only about an hour or so. No extended stay needed.

The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic. Call for an appointment. The procedure ranges from B10,000-B100,000.

Plastic Surgery Clinic. A comprehensive range of plastic surgery solutions, with prices ranging from B12,000-B20,000.

Yanhee Plastic Surgery Clinic. Prices start at B9,900, but can climb quickly.
