Anyone here planning on getting a rhinoplasty?

I've saved up 6k to get one and I'd like to know a few things if any of you ever got one or know about the process.

How old do you have to be? Can you do a nosejob even if your facial structure hasn't stopped maturing, since I'm eighteen?
Also, can the surgeons only modify the shape of my nose, or can they "redo" it altogether so that I don't get as much sebaceous filaments, and my skin on the nose becomes smooth again?

Pic related I want my nose to be normal shaped and the skin to be devoid of impurities

>> No.7558075

have to be 18 but i really really would hold out as long as you can, 20 or so because the nose really does keep growing/you can waste a shit-ton of money

and no they cannot change sebaceous filaments, invest in a decent chemical exfoliator, get some samples from paula's choice of 2% BHA or preferably 10% AHA

>> No.7558126

Im planning on getting rhinoplasty but I gotta wait til Im not poor as fuck

Im just not looking forward to people seeing me afterwards and being like "holy shit, she got a nose job"

>> No.7558223

>>7558075
Waste money? What do you mean?
Why would the nose grow if I got it surgically modified?

Also about sebaceous filaments, why can't they change them? Exfoliators are temporary solutions, I want my pores to become smaller once and for all.

>> No.7558253

>>7558223
Typically, the nose is estimated to cease growth at the 16-18 age range or when puberty ceases, but its worth waiting dependant on the maturity of your cartilage, often your more susceptible to funny regrowth the younger you are.

They can't change them because that's not how dermatology functions, often many people find rhinoplasty makes your skin overcompensate with oil due to the reaction to trauma. Chemical exfoliators are not temporary solutions, they are so far the best help for sebaceous filaments for those not blessed with genetically tiny pores.

>> No.7558279

>>7558253
recommend a chem exfoliator pls

>> No.7558303

>>7558253
Aren't there ways to predict it? Like I know radiology can predict a child's growth in height so can a scan of the skull predict when the nose will stop growing?

Also that means I'll get even more sebaceous filaments after the operation? Those things really bother me, I want them gone, I'm so self conscious about them I don't actually know if people pay attention to them anymore. Are they a real turn off or am I overreacting?

Also what's the best exfoliator you've ever used?
Won't a highly chemical one fuck up my skin?

Is there literally no way whatsoever, even theoretical, to make one's pores smaller permanently

>> No.7558333

>>7558279
you can try a few things, if you cleanse you can try the OCM (oil cleaning method), typically you want a non-comedogenic oil such as jojoba oil, i use avacado oil myself because my skin needs the moisturising benefits and vitamin e. This works by warm water to open the pores, massaging in the oil in circles, and you will FEEL the sebaceous filaments or 'grits' loosen, then wipe face with cloth (microfibre).

Paula's choice AHA at 10% (might irritate your skin if its sensitive but stronger = better) or garden of wisdom AHA pads seem to be the best choice.

>> No.7558332

use natural stuff where possible
putting chemicals on your face daily is bad for your skin, even if it looks better temporarily

There will be a consultation, and if they're a good ENT surgeon, they will assess as honestly as they can.
As stated previously, sebaceous filaments are normal but aesthetically, a pain. You will not necessarily gain more sebaceous filaments, i am stating that skin that undergoes trauma and then is covered by a cast for a period of time will often be more oily or in worse condition for a short while.
With sustained use of an AHA and microfibre clothes or an extraction device used gently you can achieve some good results.

Also could I recommend something that may be an appropriate quick-fix if you're very self conscious about larger pores? A decent-tier primer such as smashbox photofinish or babyskin could be an interesting option to test in terms of the finish on your skin, but you have to be careful as these are often packed with silicones which can exasperate your long-term efforts at reducing pore size, be sure to cleanse with the OCM method or a microfibre cloth as previously stated.

Well I definitely can't lie about it sadly. Like I dont even want to tell my parents/siblings/ANYONE. But it'll be super obvious because I look fucking terrible right now LOL. Im also getting double jaw surgery.. But Im doing the jaw surgery beforehand. My nose could look different once I have that done.

Aren't sebaceous filaments supposed to go away for the most part or at least become less noticeable after puberty?

>> No.7558415

>>7558332
You use the AHA 10% weekly and it far less abrasive than using 'scrubs' or rubbing your skin for lengthy durations to exfoliate it.
I use no other chemicals, just avacado oil and a rhassoul clay soap occasionally and get skin compliments all the ~time~

Would the orthognastic surgery make one's nose significantly smaller right away, perhaps supressing the need for the rhinoplasty afterwards?

read this list on the comedogenic ratings of oils, coconut oil is a 4 which means its most likely a bad choice for you and will clog the pores, even olive oil is better

jojoba or argan oil is a good starter

To be honest Im not sure. I have an appointment with a dentist/orthodontist on the 13th. I'll find out if my insurance will cover jaw surgery. If not, I'll be set back another year.

Ive just heard nose appearance will change. I have a feeling it will be a bit smaller, considering my top jaw will be pulled back into my face more (From what Im hearing.) IDK, I need a lot more info on this, but I just want to get it straight from the Dr's mouth instead of from the internet.

I plan on getting jaw realignment surgery as the one thing that's keeping me from being /fa/ is my underbite.

The position of my jaw exaggerates my cheek fat despite being underweight, and I can never safely smile or eat in public because of this.

What worries me is the aftermath of the procedure, where it will take months to heal and a year or two of wearing braces, which are in and of themselves un/fa/.

don't wanna make a new thread so I'll just post here.
alright, so I've been suffering from acne since I was like, 14. I've been on accutane for 6 months about three years ago, it didn't even help much. I'm taking it again for the past four months, and I can't say I can see any noticeable differences. due to me being an idiot as a kid, I picked my face a lot, and have really gross icepick scarring around my nose area, and less noticeable scarring on my forehead and cheeks, as well as red blotches here and there. my face is a trainwreck as it is, and having godawful skin isn't making me feel any better. I've never used makeup before I had acne, and since I've always been told it's bad for the skin, I've only recently tried having a go at it to at least cover up some of the shit on my face, however I feel like I'm only making it worse by not looking into it more and buying whatever comes to hand. every dermatologist I've been to said accutane is the best solution there is to this and there isn't much else I can do, so I'm completely at loss here. I don't eat greasy shit, I wash my face twice a day, try not to touch it too much, and use an oil free moisturizer.
is there nothing else I can do? am I fucked?
if I can't be pretty I want to at least have nice skin ;_;

I had rhinoplasty at 18.
I pulled in my nostrils and straightened out my bridge, and I'm definitely happy with the end result. No one really noticed my nose had changed, but I did get comments in the vein of "Oh, you look really good, what happened!?". Do NOT touch your nose while it's healing, however, the scars can look absolutely awful.
