Nose job - Turkey vs Ireland which to choose

Don't get it done at all.

I don't know how you got to a point in your life where you decided that your nose needs to be changed. Social media I presume, seeing as women are lining up for plastic surgery like never before - propelled by instagram and unrealistic beauty standards.

Slight imperfections make people look more beautiful, not less.

I read a horror story on r/plasticsurgery.

Surgeon messed up, destroyed her. Do your homework out the wazoo on finding someone reliable in Turkey.

I've heard wonderful things but not something you want to go wrong with.

At least in Ireland you have recourse, Turkey the surgeon can basically ignore you if things go wrong.

Read-read-read, if you have 100% confidence and a series of flawless recommendations, maybe Turkey could be considered?

Otherwise I personally wouldn't chance it.

..........

That being said I only looked into this previously from a dental point of view (and LASEK eye surgery), not plastic.

Youtube has some good video logs of patients who has their work done in Turkey, good place to see a first hand accounting of things.

That was obviously public.

Assuming OP is looking for a private surgeon.

My GP is very well informed, but I wouldn't ever bother inquiring with them about something like this.

I checked the register of all the major public, private and best hospitals for a list of their consultants/surgeons in this area.

I rang their secretaries, I confirmed their areas of expertise and speciality.

I cross referenced all that with reviews I could find of them on google; cranio-facial, plastic, maxilofacial and ENT's.

I ensured all my information was correct using the appropriate reddit forums, in some cases contacting oversea's surgeons.

I posted about it somewhere on boards also and got some feedback.

I checked the compiled list of consultants for who was who and who stood out (turned out the senior consultant from St James who also practices privately was the person I went with).

I contacted him privately and sought an opinion.

Then I made appointments with three different consultants and having met with them, hit them with all my questions, and in perspective of all of the above, I felt very confident in the choice I'd made and proceeded (the result was flawless, and he said after it was a complicated and difficult job, i.e. anyone but him would almost certainly have fucked it up).

.......

Basically if someone's coming at my face with a scalpel + pair of pliers, I want to be 100% sure I've made the best possible choice to minimize the risk any possible damage, optimize the probability of the best possible result.
