4. Everyone will notice you had a nose job.

For someone who saw you the first time, it would be impossible. With inter-racial breeding, it is not impossible that a pygmy might have a parrot nose especially if one of the parents is american. Between caucasians and asians, the former has stronger blood impact on the genes of the child, almost always, if not always. If you are a Hollywood personality whose looks undergo the scrutiny of the general public, a sudden change may be noticeable, but if it’s just some minor refinement of the bridge or tip, almost always, it will only be you who will notice. Besides, it is you who faces the mirror and it is you who actually know what you underwent.

5. Rhinoplasty will give you the nose of your dreams.

Unless your nose is a result of a birth defect (no nose at all but mere holes), having that bridge and tip may be your dream nose. Still, there are certain limitation that can be done. Matching of bone and skin structure is a deciding factor for what your nose can result to. Statistics show that about 10-15% undergo a nose surgery revision to either enhance or correct the first procedure. Certain results are not expected beforehand.

Before going through, though, make sure that your communication line with your doctor is loud and clear. Ask all the questions even if it seems trivial. It is your nose and you have every right to know. Ask for 2nd or 3rd opinions, if possible.
