When I was a little young boy, I used to think that people would get rhinoplasties to look like an actual rhino. And that was exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up, a rhino. Then I watched this girl getting a nose job on TLC, and her nose started growing hair because they took skin of her forehead or something like that. That's when I understood my whole life had been a lie. My dreams of becoming a rhino were shattered, and I was heartbroken.

scary part is that Kayla obviously did a lot of research and was pretty specific about what she wanted but got such different advice from her doctor than here. adds an element of randomness if you get any work done on your face.

[@forg13]

Yeah the advice across the board varies too much for me to confidently let anyone touch my face

[@itszenbaby]

Hmm…I think the best bet is to do initial research on doctors who specialise in the type of surgery you want, then from there narrow it down to 2/3 doctors. From there I would say book a no-obligation consultation with all 3 of them and see what they all have to say, instead of basing your decision on one doctor’s advice. Because clearly the doctor she chose wasn’t particularly up to date with the best methods of cartilage harvesting for rhinoplasty, and for the doctor to say 30% of his patients need a revision is not reassuring at all. For example, I’ve been thinking about a breast augmentation for a while. I haven’t gone through with it yet, but I saw one doctor who only advised me on making the incision under my breast or around the nipple, the second doctor advised me of those two methods plus an armpit incision, which is the least obvious for scarring. If I would have just settled on the first doctor, I would never have known about the additional methods there are out there.

[@forg13]

I have a big nose with a small bump and a small face. I never saw anything wrong with it until a female family member pointed that its big and that it would be nice to have surgery. Since that day I've started looking at my nose differently and felt like it "took away from my potential beauty". Fast forward a few years later, another female friend was staring at me then said I have such a beautiful nose.. that it has a high bridge and looks nice (she has a small button nose with a low bridge) and I was so pleasantly shocked! Never in my life would I think ANYONE would see my nose as desirable. Over the years, I started to embrace it and take more side photos without feeling embarrassed. I think it fits my face well but it doesn't fit the current conventional beauty standard. We women are pieces of walking art despite our shape, size or color. Your nose offended those men because you look more "real" than many photoshopped fantasies that they have. They see women as objects that's why they feel entitled to speak about your appearance in such a way. These aren't the type of men you want and deserve. Consider it a blessing from God that they showed you their true colors early on so you can save yourself for a man that appreciates you as you are.

[@dianaselnekovicova948]

This always piss me off. I don’t have big nose but when someone (sometimes even other woman) point out about me why don’t you change your eyebrows or loose weight or something with surgery . Like sorry I don’t bother about it why do you bother then? Like I personally don’t care how other people look and what they do with their looks. Only when you are my partner or interest in partner. Personally I let myself my big eyebrows and just change it only little bit so they look more even. But I actually like the effect it makes to my eyes they are more noticeable even when I don’t use make up.

[@inkedmomblu1510]

I think it’s insane to charge her for a revision surgery. Her chief complaint was that bump and she paid to have that fixed. The dr didn’t fix her complaint so he needs to make it right.

Or she could learn only by the love of Jesus knowing that acceptance as I too have learned doesn’t come from others or even insecurities in this body that I’ve pointed out.but true acceptance comes to Jesus Christ I promise.

[@corinnes178]

they still need to pay the anesthesiologist and facility which is a large fee, and they are not the ones who are changing the nose are not them, they need to be paid for their work and the costs of medicine and care. the surgeon even if they do a good job there is always risks unfortunately, and they still need to be paid for their work. so i don't see having a highly discounted fee for a revision to be an issue

It may seem to the naked eye to others or yourself of the surgery that changed you,but it’s always going to be in the back of the person’s mind is that they’ve had surgery to get to look.

[@fatoumfatoumeh]

I’m Middle Eastern and my nose looked fantastic as soon as the cast came off 10 days later. I’m really happy with the result (I got my tip lifted and reduced, and also my nostrils narrowed), it’s subtle enough that no one can tell (it just looks like a slightly smaller, slightly more lifted/defined version of my old nose)...but it makes a huge difference in my facial proportions. I did (and still do) have a ‘Semitic’ nose, and did NOT want a ‘Europeanized’ look (ie. Upturned/button nose look), so I made that VERY clear to my surgeon (who was Middle Eastern himself so he understood), I just wanted it abit smaller to be in better proportion with the rest of my face. Best part was that I only paid slightly less than $3k on top of achieving a great result. Recovery was also breeze, as what I had was a ‘closed rhinoplasty’. It’s been 10 years, and I can say that my nose still looks beautiful. Moral of the story: understand your own face, make sure your expectations are realistic and what you want actually suits you, and last but never least, research your surgeon and ask them to show you their before/after pictures. I find that when it comes to face work (especially noses) it helps to deal with a surgeon who has a lot of experience working on faces that are of your race/ethnicity.

Like literal supermodels/movie stars be out here getting plastic surgery and stuff. If that doesn't tell you that the chase for perfection beuty is impossible I don't know what will. Okay it's their choise but it's not at all nececary and sometimes it makes them look way worse than they did before. At some point you're just gonna have to say "I'm good enough as I am, with my flaws" because if one keeps chasing perfection then you're playing a losing game and will make yourself miserable. And some people have serious mental illness where they have body dysmorphia and so they keep doing more and more surgery into infinity because they see themselves as monsters in the mirror and that's very sad. Or just learn to love your appearance with your flaws and don't do surgery, that's 100% natural beuty afterall.

i feel for Kayla. know what she's going through. i had nose job 17 years ago and was very disappointed. i had a hump on my nose as well. i have long narrow nose with tiny nostrils. i wanted hump completely gone. i showed doctor pictures of the nose i would like if possible. i wanted a kind of Spanish nose, a little wider and and "flatter ". i did not get that at all!! the hump was gone, but, my nostrils were pinched in😮. A few months later, my hump came back, not as big as before though. I should also mention that i did not receive enough anesthesia and felt them rasping down my nose and heard them talking to each other. I couldn't speak because the muscles are paralyzed under anesthesia, so in my mind i was telling them it hurt, but, nothing came out of my mouth!! Hurt like hell😢😢😢 When i told doctor that i heard conversation, she said, " no, i didn't say that, you must have been dreaming!". How would i know that she asked for the rasp and asked the other doctor how my nose looked on the other side?? Of course she wouldn't admit it, it would lead to a possible lawsuit. Twenty months later, a difficult doctor, same hospital, shaved down the hump again while i had local anesthesia. Hump came back AGAIN!!!!😢😢 Still have it. I'm very disappointed, but, cannot afford to do it again. Wish i had Dr. Linkov! I'm still very insecure about my nose and very angry with both doctors who obviously had a very poor sense of aesthetics. If Dr. Linkov ever wants to do a teaching case, please contact me 😊

The surgeons can do everything by the book, but sometimes your body and gravity will just work against yours and your doctor's plans.

That being said, oddly enough I'm still insecure about my nose lol, it's still a rather big nose but not as wonky as it used to be. I have a lot of insecurities in general though and I would never get another nose job (because I got exactly what I asked for and I'm satisfied with it, and I don't want to look unnatural).

She’s 90 something years old at the moment and her nose aged beautifully just like the rest of her cute face. Wouldn’t change it now even if the surgery was affordable tbh… Not only would it be a pain in the ass the whole recovery process, but I also have a dust allergy so I can’t imagine what it would be to sneeze and all the itchiness while I have a tender nose.

I’m binging on your videos and love them -thanks for the great videos. I’m a nurse who had a facelift at age 50-no medical conditions, avid road bike rider, thought I would breeze through this surgery. The first thing that happened was I brady’d down in the OR (I have extremely low BP), and then I got life-threatening ischemic colitis 2 weeks after surgery. The cardiologist suspected the blood pressure meds mixed with the pain meds topped off with dehydration gave me such low BP’s that it created a perfect storm for this to happen. I was vomiting and had a GI bleed 2 weeks after surgery and my surgeon said if I hadn’t healed so quickly for the past 2 weeks, and because I had followed his aftercare guidelines to the tee, this entire surgery was averted from disaster. I was lucky and recovered fully, but even the healthiest of people -even those of us who think that “complications wont happen to me” can have very serious complications. I cant emphasize just how important it is for surgeries like this be done with thought and consideration, and by experienced, competent surgeons. They all come with potential risks, and following the physicians direction and aftercare can save you from a seriously devastating outcome.

My primary rhinoplasty was performed and BOTCHED BY A WORLD RENOWN FACE TRANSPLANT SURGEON located in NYC. He narrowed my bridge but did not address my wide alar base so the result looked strange to say the least. He rotated my tip to an unflattering degree and left my nostrils piggy shaped. He left me with a deviated septum, collapsed right nostril, polly beak deformity, overall asymmetry and worst of all I have a random bony fragment floating around in my radix area. When I brought to his attention he dismissed all claims because apparently a man who performs face transplants can do no wrong and his ego is egregious! Thank god the rhinoplasty was free of charge through insurance for ffs surgery. I went to a different surgeon for my revision rhinoplasty who did a COMPLETE OVERHAUL! He corrected polly beak, added a very slight ski-slope which he was against because he only does natural results but he made a small exception for me after what I had been through. Straightened and corrected deviated septum. Performed alar base reduction and fixed rotation. Strengthened and supported my tip (thick skin) with cadaver grafts and now I have to most amazing tiny nose of my dreams!! 😭😍🙌🏼 My tips to anyone looking into rhinoplasty, try not to go to instagram doctors or doctors with a huge following because not only will their rates be ridiculously higher because of their notoriety and demand but they will usually have a disgusting ego to match. Do try to go to surgeons that do charity work on children with cleft palates and facial deformities. Not only will they have the skill and expertise to tackle the most difficult cases but they are equally as compassionate and have amazing bedside manner. Fun fact: some individuals may qualify for a discounted rhinoplasty through their health insurance so read the fine print of your policy. Good luck to all 💕👃🏼🤗

[@sunshinesmile94]

I agree with you. Septal and conchal cartilage would have sufficed to create a septal extension graft and tip grafts for tip augmentation. Limited dorsal and radix augmentation was needed in this particular case, given the natural high dorsum, and harvesting costal cartilage seems like overkill. I would reserve it for revision cases, in those needing concomitant septal reconstruction, or in patients needing a substantial amount of dorsal augmentation. Unless she had a previous septoplasty and there was insufficient septal material, costal cartilage was a big call for this nose.

[@sunshinesmile94]

@@divinegoddesstarot1111 that is what I said. Depleted cartilage stores: If she has had a prior septoplasty, it is highly possible there is insufficient septal cartilage to harvest. If it is a revision case, septal and conchal cartilage stores may certainly likely be depleted, which is an indication for using costal cartilage. She looks like she has a virgin nose however. Weak cartilage: Whilst it is true the septal cartilage in Asian patients is often significantly smaller and thinner than Caucasians, when combined with harvesting BOTH conchal cartilages, it is usually sufficient for THIS type of nose. Damaged cartilage... Even if the septum has multiple fracture lines which renders it a poor graft material, unless she has a history of contact sports with bilateral pinna haematomas and cauliflower ears, the likelihood of "damaged" conchal cartilage in both ears is highly low. I stand by what I wrote. Costal cartilage was a big call for this case.

@Toast Malone Her nose is very pretty. You must be blind or a troll

[@sallyfrench007]

I want my cousins’ eyes and they want mine 😄

[@Hello61Jello]

@@sallyfrench007 Yeah I had an aunt with beautiful pale blue eyes and she hated them and wanted my brown ones because "they stand out". I think that's wild cause I wanted colored eyes lol. Moral of the story - appreciate what we have because we probably would want what we have now if we didn't have it LOL

[@sharisayed3004]

Wow tq Dr Gary for clarifying all the questions. Honestly people should stop obsessing and staring at little things about their faces 24/7. Those little bumps or twitches nobody really notices it. She already came out looking prettier than before.

[@janetgeller7272]

What a sweet young woman with a good attitude. I wish she had a higher level of satisfaction. I am hoping all good things for her in life.

[@Sunnydreamer1470]

If Dr Linkov really wants to show us how great a surgeon he is, maybe he could take her case on and we can see it ! I would be willing to pay twice the amount for a great plastic surgeon . My husband has been seeking a hair transplant but the process of seeking a great place we trust is the hardest part. She definitely needs a revision and would love to see it.

[@drgarylinkov]

Happy to help. We have some of my surgical showcases coming up on the channel. Stay tuned!!!

[@gottagit8772]

This girl is sooooo obsessed that she will never be happy because she wants perfection and there is no perfection......Dr Linov would be dealing with a headtrip

[@LaynieFingers]

She doesn't want a revision, and her nose isn't dangerous or anything. Why do you think she needs a revision?

[@ALT-vz3jn]

@@LaynieFingers her final result doesn’t look very good. Certainly not for the amount of money she paid. She needs more refinement on the tip/bottom of the nose, it’s very bulbous. Unfortunately that would cost a lot more money, that’s probably why she’s saying she won’t be getting a revision. I’d be willing to bet that if she had the money she’d be on the operating table rfn…

[@LaynieFingers]

@@ALT-vz3jn My point is that her nose is functional right now, and she is the only person who can say whether she needs a revision. You may think her nose needs work, but it's not your nose. And frankly, she doesn't *need* another surgery...

[@badsummer95]

Even though I hate that so many young people are changing their features through surgery before they have finished growing into their face. I do admire how well researched this young woman is and how she understood what she was getting into, that's such a good sign. I work at a clinic and so many young people come into get plastic surgery and they treat it like it's buying new shoes.

[@elisedoyle7781]

You are such a incredible dr " love you to the moon and back " 🌹🇿🇦

[@mightylove3591]

Your a great doctor - Thank you !!!!

[@ilovemusic2543]

Mine was around 4K and I love it, he did an amazing job, it was even on the same street I lived in so it was super convenient, do your research people!!! I was going to choose a different surgeon and I’m so thankful I saw another one for a second opinion.

[@sarat8577]

My husband : why are you watching a person discussing another persons nose job…. “Because knowledge is power”

[@Chapa24.]

I’m not even considering a nose job. But I’m still here.

[@Hallofkale]

I always come to this channel for advice and just curiosity abs I love it. Could you do a video on top surgery maybe?

[@r.casagrande8689]

I have no plan at all to do any plastic surgery, but the fact is that I enjoy watching Dr. Gary's contents.

[@Mr---mr4ll]

i hated hated my big nose when i was a teenager but man i love my big nose now, mostly because women actually love it and i love it

[@shellshipman3853]

Yes, a lot of women love big noses on men. Also, if a mans nose job is visible it emasculates him.

[@arealtyrant8676]

I love big noses on men . It’s a strong attraction

[@fernandocrux3363]

I also like a strong nose on a man. Agree with the ladies.

[@so.many.obstacles]

I like big noses. I told a guy with a broad nose how much I liked it and he said he hated it. His nose was so appealing to me.

[@delivia3474]

True. Big noses on men, especially if the nose bridge is protruding, are very attractive

[@anna-wt2tz]

I just don't think she would be saying the love yourself spiel, if her surgery had turned out more positively, so that part went right over my head 🤣🖤

[@happyhouse4948]

Maybe that’s what it took for her to realise that self-love should be first and surgeries second, if at all

[@anna-wt2tz]

@@happyhouse4948 good, im glad she's taking her own advice now, and learned a valuable lesson. Sucks that it took $19,000 and a botched nose job for her to come to that realization.

[@xxo5294]

Well you’ve obviously never had surgery it seems. I’ve had surgery and it was essential to my self esteem and moving forward my journey to self love - and I had incredible results.

Naturally gorgeous people amaze me. They’re so fricking good looking and they find something wrong with themselves. This woman was stunning either way. I hope she’s happy though.

[@prestonnorris9822]

I've seen some so called liquid rhinoplasty procedures on You Tube done with different fillers. I'd be so curious as to what your opinion is of this type of procedure. 🌞

[@pizzagirl71]

oof i've seen this video when i was preparing for my septorhinoplasty and it made me so afraid. my surgeon didn't have that many before and after pictures that i could look at so I was worried, but his personality and experience was very reassuring. he ended up doing an AMAZING job and i had no complications at all, recovery was very easy. i thought it would be super scary but I basically didn't have any pain or problems at all. the key is finding a reliable surgeon! mine was actually a med school professor that specialized in reconstructive facial plastic surgery and he said he does 2-3 rhinoplasties A DAY. when you meet your surgeon ask lots of questions about their experience!!

[@divinegoddesstarot1111]

She has an absolutely beautiful result all of her complaints so to speak or completely natural every face is asymmetric comparing the before and after her results were absolutely astounding

[@ALT-vz3jn]

I don’t like her result. Her nose looks bulbous and very bottom-heavy. If I paid $19k and got that result I’d be pretty upset. I liked her natural nose better, it wasn’t bulbous; it just needed the hump shaved and the tip pulled up a bit. The surgeon went way overboard.

[@Hello61Jello]

@@ALT-vz3jn I worked for a plastic surgeon and most times surgery doesn't come out exactly as you want because it depends how your body heals and everyone is different. The surgeons can do everything by the book, but sometimes your body and gravity will just work against yours and your doctor's plans. I wish more people knew that before going under the knife because I feel so many patients aren't aware of how much is actually out of the doctor's control. Idk I think you're being harsh. There is also nothing wrong with bulbous noses either geez, not to mention - hers isn't bulbous at all

[@karmacounselor]

On the plus side, studying facial traits and their meaning, the dorsal hump on the nose is an administrative trait and is subconsciously recognized as a leadership trait. Both of you in this video are natural leaders! Thank you!

[@16497]

That’s so cool!

[@catherine_404]

That's silly. Facials features do not make a personality. It's what behind those features which makes a leader. A leader can have any nose they get. Honestly, that "analysis" is right within racist sphere of ideas.

[@karmacounselor]

@@catherine_404well all things seem silly when first encountered. Chevron eyebrows are structure function and since I learned this in 89 I did my own research asking folks if they see when a picture is hanging crooked ( if they gave the trait) well before their friends who don’t have the trait. Of course choice can override a trait. Like the exacting line furrowed between the brows, which demand precision. I prefer my surgeon has that line with the chevrons.

[@someonerandom256]

This really makes me appreciate my nose, even though it looks completely different on one side of the other from profile. My left side is my favorite for sure!
